History WesternAnimation / GrooveSquad

The titular group consists of three high school cheerleaders named Chrissy, Ping and Mackenzie (more commonly called "Mac"), who're best friends and are basically like your average teenaged girls--they're concerned with things like their looks, boys and popularity, and are also focused on getting ready for prom and their upcoming cheerleading competition. However, one day, while getting their hair done at a local salon, the girls get zapped by a jolt of electricity that gives them superpowers (superstrength for Chrisy, the ability to fly for Ping and x-ray vision for Mac). With some help from some valuable allies (namely their best male friend and their hairstylist, the latter of which also happens to be an undercover superspy), the girls use their powers to become superheroines and defeat a power-hungry MadScientist [[DaddysLittleVillain (who also happens to be the father of one of their fellow cheerleaders).]]

** Mac, just like Adrien, appears to be African-American, but she has GreenEyes--it's possible that she's mixed race. It should be noted that Mac's voice actress, Bettina Bush, is of mixed race (her father was black and her mother was Scottish/Cherokee/Polynesian).
** Fernando appears to be Hispanic, but he has blue eyes--it's possible that he's mixed race.

* TheCheerleader: Chrissy, Ping and Mac are cheerleaders at Bay City High School--however, much like WesternAnimation/KimPossible, the three avert pretty much every single stereotype that you can think when it comes to cheerleaders. Star Nightingale (their main rival) seems to be the only true mean-spirited cheerleader on their squad--it's played with in the case of Star's friends, Stacy and Roxanne--see MinionWithAnFInEvil below.
* DaddysLittleVillain: Star also combines this with EvilRedhead, MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter and UglyGuysHotDaughter--Dr. Nefarious Nightingale, the MadScientist bent on world domination that the Groove Squad goes up against, also happens to be Star's dad, and Star's arguably just as evil as her dad (if not ''more'' evil). And assuming that Dr. Nightingale is Star's biological father, it's probably safe to assume that Star takes after her mother in looks.

** Chrissy, Ping and Mac are this to WesternAnimation/KimPossible, being popular but friendly high school cheerleaders (with Chrissy even being the school cheerleading captain like Kim is) who end up saving the world--but while Kim's a BadassNormal who clearly doesn't bother with keeping a SecretIdentity (or a SecretIdentityIdentity), the Groove Squad are actual superpowered superheroines who ultimately keep their newfounded statuses a secret.

** Star Nightingale is very similar to [[SitcomArchnemesis Bonnie]] [[AlphaBitch Rockwaller]], being the spoiled/arrogant/pompous rival to the female lead, and even being very vocal about replacing them as their school cheerleading captain (much like how Bonnie was in the early episodes of Kim Possible).

** Stacy and Roxanne, a pair of identical twin sisters who're Star Nightingale's best friends/sidekicks, are more "easily manipulated" than straight-up "evil."

** Very much averted with Flower Power, a trio of superpowered hippies who're Dr. Nightingale's other sidekicks--as shown at the beginning of the film, they don't seem to have a problem with fighting, hurting and potentially ''killing'' a group of teenagers.

* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld Wakes Up, Goes to School and Save the World]]: Much like Kim Possible, the titular Groove Squad are still fairly normal teenaged girls, being concerned with things like school, cheerleading, boys, prom and their looks, but they also care about things besides that.

** Stacy and Roxanne, a pair of identical twins sisters who're Star's best friends/sidekicks, are more "easily manipulated" than straight-up "evil."
really aren't evil, per se--they're just ''very'' easily manipulated.

* PairTheSpares: Unlike Chrissy (who has Fernando) and Ping (who has Zeke), Mac didn't have an established crush on love interest--in the end, she starts dating a young friend of Adrien's who appears to be around the same age as her and her friends.

* IntergenerationalFriendship: Adrien's very close to Chrissy, Ping and Mac, and it definitely seems like more than just having a good hairstylist/client-relationship--while it's unknown how old Adrien is, judging from his profile-pic on the character page, he's probably in his thirties at the very least, while Chrissy, Ping and Mac (who're most likely upperclassmen, since they talk about going to prom) are probably 16-18 years old.
* TheMentor: Adrien, the trio's hairstylist who also happens to be an undercover spy, becomes this to Chrissy, Ping and Mac gain their superpowers and helps to guide them in their new lives as superheroines.

** Stacy and Roxanne, a pair of identical twins sisters who're Star's best friends/sidekicks, really aren't evil, per se--they're just ''very'' easily manipulated.
** Larry, Dr. Nightingale's cyborg-sidekick, is rather cowardly and doesn't seem to be as evil as his boss, but is still loyal to the MadScientist nevertheless.

* PairTheSpares: Mac didn't have an established crush/love interest like Chrissy and Ping did, and ends up dating a young friend of Adrien's (who appears to be around the same age as her and her friends).

First aired on November 24th of 2002, '''''Groove Squad''''' is an animated made-for-TV movie that debuted as a part of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickelodeon_Sunday_Movie_Toons Nickelodeon Sunday Movie Toons]] in late 2002--NSMT lasted from October 6th of 2002 to December 29th of 2002, with ''Groove Squad'' being the only movie to have an original story (as the rest were all either based on existing cartoons or were loose adaptions of classic literature).

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Chrissy, the story's narrator, does this at the beginning of the film, when she, Ping and Mac are tied up and dangling over a boiling pot--Chrissy turns to the audience and, figuring that they're probably wondering how she and her friends (including Zeke) got into this situation in the first place, goes all the way back to the beginning, claiming that it happened one day when she and her friends were at cheerleading practice.

* DaddysLittleVillain (combined with EvilRedhead): Star, one of the other cheerleaders at Bay City High School, also happens to be Dr. Nightingale's daughter and is arguably just as evil as her dad (if not ''more'' evil).

* SecretKeeper: Zeke and Adrien become this after the girls become superheroines--Zeke and Adrien are the only ones to know about Chrissy, Ping and Mac's superpowers and their identities as superheroes. Zeke in particular proves himself to be a valuable ally to the girls, despite not gaining superpowers like they do.
* [[TheUglyGuysHotDaughter The Ugly]] MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: An evil example--seriously, just look at their pictures on the character page! And assuming that Dr. Nightingale really is Star's biological father, it's probably safe to assume that Star takes more after her mother in looks.
* WholeEpisodeFlashback: A large part of the movie consists of Chrissy explaining to the audience about how she, Ping and Mac ultimately became superheroines and how they and Zeke end up in the situation at the beginning of the film (they get tied up by a trio of superpowered hippies called "Flower Power," with the girls dangling over a giant pot of something).

* TeenSuperspy: Technically their superheroines and not spies, but Chrissy, Ping and Mac ultimately become this trope after they gain their superpowers--also, they end up gaining Adrien, their hairstylist who also happens to be an undercover superspy, as a mentor in their newfound identities are superheroines.

* InSeriesNickname: Mac's full first name is "Mackenzie," but she's more commonly called "Mac."

** Zeke's similar to Ron Stopabble, being the close male friend of the female lead(s) and, while not necessarily as skilled as their female friends, ultimately prove to be valuable allies--also, Zeke and Ping, [[WesternAnimation/KimPossibleMovieSoTheDrama just like Kim and Ron,]] [[RelationshipUpgrade ultimately end up becoming a couple after having been friends for a (presumably) long time.]]

* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: This is what Chrissy, Ping and Mac were before gaining their superpowers--and similar to Kim Possible, they're still fairly normal teenage girls, being concerned with things like their looks, popularity, boys, getting ready for prom and preparing for cheerleading competitions.
** WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: This is what happens to Chrissy, Ping and Mac after they gain superpowers and ultimately choose to become superheroines.

* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Just look at their profile pictures on the character page--assuming that Dr. Nightingale is Star's biological father, it's probably safe to assume that Star takes more after her mother in looks.

The titular squad consists of three high school cheerleaders (and best friends) who end up gaining superpowers (and ultimately use their new powers to become superheroines) after being accidentally zapped by a jolt of electricity from a deranged genius.

* DaddysLittleVillain: As surprising (or not) as it may seem, but Star Nightingale is actually the daughter of Dr. Nightingale (the movie's primary villain).

* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Stacy and Roxanne, a pair of identical twin sisters who also happen to be Star's best friends/sidekicks, really aren't evil, per se--they're just very easily manipulated.
