History WesternAnimation / PAWPatrolMightyPups

* AbsenteeActor: For some reason, Tracker is absent from this episode. Although Tracker normally isn't in episodes, Everest, who falls into much of the same only-appears-when-needed category, is, highlighting the oddity.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Unlike typical episodes which involve the PAW Patrol rescuing either people from peril or things that Mayor Humdinger has stolen, here the protagonists are simply battling a robot and stopping The Lookout from being launched into space. There is a subplot of trying to rescue Ryder, but it came about more as an additional benefit of their victorious battle rather than the pups actively trying to save him.

* AdultFear: Ryder getting ''kidnapped'', anyone?

''PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups'' is a 44-minute special of Nickelodeon's ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'', airing late 2018. Unlike most other movies, however, the DVD version was available long before it appeared in cinemas, available at Walmart since September 11th.

* {{Technopath}}: Harold. Although it seemingly also comes with [[PsychicPowers telekinesis]].

The PAW Patrol clears everyone off the streets before investigating the meteor. A massive flash blasts the pups (and Harold) backwards, which gives the pups (and Harold) superpowers. Mayor Humdinger desires to also get some of those powers for himself, so he along with Harold work to try and steal the meteor. They are foiled by the now [[TitleDrop mighty pups]], however, and Humdinger opts to give up and run away.

Harold on the other hand is more determined, and realizes that the team relies on Ryder's leadership - without him, the team would fall apart. Thus, Harold captures Ryder and then builds a giant robot, using the meteor's powers to supercharge it and further captures the PAW Patrol. Without Ryder, the team as Harold predicted falters a bit, but luckily Chase manages to take over as leader and defeat Harold's robot. ''Un''luckily. the robot gets knocked into the lookout, turning it into a giant rocket blasting off into space.

The pups do their best to try and stop the robot rocket. At this point though, Ryder manages to escape and sends a message to Chase, informing him where the meteor is. With the message, the PAW Patrol grabs the meteor, depowering the robot and sending it back down to Earth. Skye and later Chase create a whirlwind to slow down the lookout's descent, and Ryder emerges unscathed.

Rubble places the lookout back where it should be just when the meteor stops glowing and the pups find they've lost their abilities. Ryder and the PAW Patrol place the meteor into storage, leaving just as the meteor re-emits a soft glow.

* ArtifactTitle: Inverted - it took five years, but finally, the 'PAW' part of 'PAW Patrol' actually makes (some) relevance as the pups' superpowers stem from their paws. Also PlayedWith, as the new updated theme song mentions how [the pups are] 'here to save the world' and proceeds to have no saving of worlds (since the Humdingers' goals were getting the meteor and getting to the moon, with no evil plans involving TakingOverTheWorld).
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Inverted in 2 occasions:
** Mayor Goodway is a straight reliable to the PAW Patrol to save her city even though she does care only for plants and not the People/Pups who risked their lives to save them.
** Mayor Humdinger could be the secondary antagonist but he also helped his nephew to do his dirty work and managed to pillage 2 locations. The City hall and the Lookout. (City Hall gets destroyed when stole the meteor twice and they capture the Lookout)
* AttackAnimal: They must stop the Humdingers causing more trouble.
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Even though the episode clearly shows the pups, Ryder, Harold and Mayor Humdinger leaving the atmosphere or at the very least are high enough for the sky to become noticeable darker there is zero mention of how any of them can breathe in space.

* EvilGloating: Mayor Humdinger Taunts the Paw Patrol twice.
** "Those Pesky Pups! Can't let them get up here!"
** [Doing his Victory dance] "You Pups can't stop me!" (Cue Ryder entering and telling him it's over until Humdinger leaned back and disables comms again)

* IHaveYourWife: Harold managed to strip Ryder of his equipment and gear + traps him and his invention takes him at his garage while Harold managed to use his powers to get his uncle and helps him defeat the pups. Later, Ryder escapes himself and gives Chase a clue where is the Robot's weak spot which unknowingly saves himself in the process.

* KarmaHoudini: The Humdingers caused medium Damage to Adventure bay. especially at the beach where the Lookout is crashed along with a Robot. at the end of the episode we see The Uncle and the Nephew clean the damage they caused to the city

* OhCrap: The PAW Patrol's reaction to see Harold in a giant mech, and the reaction of the townsfolk seeing the Lookout fall from the sky.

* PowerGlows: The pups' paws glow whenever they use their powers. Likewise, whatever Harold's telekinetically moving it glows, too.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Unlike typical episodes which involve the PAW Patrol rescuing either people from peril or things that Mayor Humdinger has stolen, here the protagonists are simply battling a robot and stopping the lookout from being launched into space. There is a subplot of trying to rescue Ryder, but it came about more as an additional benefit of their victorious battle rather than the pups actively trying to save him.

* SuperSpeed: Chase can run fast enough to create a whirlwind, leaving a TRON-like trail behind him.
* SuperStrength: Rubble can lift a train and four carriages, or the lookout, by himself. We're not sure which one is heavier.

* BadassAdorable: The Pups are even cooler with superpowers and daring like a [[Literature/HarryPotter Gryffindor of Hogwarts]].

''PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups'' is a 44-minute special of Nickolodeon's ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'', airing late 2018. Unlike most other movies, however, the DVD version was available long before it appeared in cinemas, available at Walmart since September 11th.

Mayor Humdinger wishes to go to the moon and be the first mayor there, enlisting the help of his nephew Harold to build a rocket and launch himself into space. Unfortunately a mishap causes the rocket to launch pre-emptively, and the rocket accidentally knocks a meteor off course and send it spiralling towards Adventure Bay.

Harold on the other hand is more determined, and realises that the team relies on Ryder's leadership - without him, the team would fall apart. Thus, Harold captures Ryder and then builds a giant robot, using the meteor's powers to supercharge it and further captures the PAW Patrol. Without Ryder, the team as Harold predicted falters a bit, but luckily Chase manages to take over as leader and defeat Harold's robot. ''Un''luckily. the robot gets knocked into the lookout, turning it into a giant rocket blasting off into space.
