Left to right: Donnie, Jett, Dizzy, and Jerome.
Super Wings is a South Korean-Chinese-American animated series with an English dub distributed by Sprout. The series is about an airplane/robot named Jett whose task is to deliver packages to children around the world.
Super Wings provides examples of:
- Added Alliterative Appeal:
- Jett "I'm pumped for the president's pink palace" at start of Team Tango.
- Dizzy's "rescue rope" does a "power pull" while the upgrade does a "power pull plus"
- All-CGI Cartoon: The whole series is animated in CGI.
- Alliterative Title: "Large Little Laddie" and "Team Tango".
- Butt-Monkey: Jett & Donnie, though especially Jett; many episodes that the latter stars in involve him either bumbling things up thanks to his clumsiness, getting into some sort of escapade that causes him to need to be rescued by someone else, or both.
- Catchphrase: LOTS.
- Jett: “I’m Jett. On time, every time”.
- Also Jett: “Jet speed!”
- Dizzy: "I’m Dizzy and I’m rescue ready."
- Donnie: “Donnie can-do”.
- Feud Episode: The Right Kite, Fiesta! Fiesta! & Doubles Trouble involve some of these
- Genki Girl: Sky, definitely. Her job could be a lot more sedentary if she wanted to, but she finds such an idea to be very boring.
- Humongous Mecha: The Wings pilot these in the season 2 OP. The Wings themselves arguably count too, when they're in their robot modes.
- Heart Symbol: On Dizzy's arms, symbolizing her kind and caring nature.
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: This happens in "Think Big" when the 3 boys stay in their robot suits and change into humanoid form while Dizzy gets out of hers (leaving it in vehicle mode) to go aerial.
- In-Series Nickname: In "Tip of the Iceberg", Jett says "I got you, Diz" to Dizzy.
- Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: A non-animal example. Plenty of Sentient Vehicles are seen co-existing with humans.
- Non-Human Sidekick: Usually an animal native to the area is seen with the kid of the week, to tell more about the geographical area to the audience.
- Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Dizzy the pink helicopter is a girl while 3 of the boys (Chase, Jerome and Paul) are blue.
- Put on a Bus: Roy and Sammy, who haven't been seen since the early episodes of the show
- Red Is Heroic: Jett, a friendly bright red jet dedicated to helping people and delivering packages on time.
- Rhymes on a Dime:
- In "Tip of the Iceberg" (appropriately named the first example since Jett rhymes every episode) "Tippy likes it nippy" and "take the stairs baby bears"
- The episode "Alp Help", where Dizzy uses "Reel of Steel" and Todd says "Begin spin!"
- Robot Girl: Astra, Dizzy, and Mira, though pretty much every single female vehicle in the show could count.
- Sentient Vehicle: The Wings are all sentient aircraft (justified as they are Transforming Mecha). As well, many of the other vehicles (cars, boats, etc.) featured in the series are sentient.
- Signing Off Catchphrase: “Super Wings! We deliver!” is said at the end of every episode by Jett and whichever Super Wing helped him in the episode.
- Spaceship Girl: Astra, who is a sentient space-shuttle-like vehicle. In a gender-flipped example, there's her little brother, Astro.
- Super-Speed: Seems to be a common ability among the wings, Jett, Astra, Astro, Tony and Team Jerome all displaying this.
- Super Drowning Skills: Every Wing except Mira, Jett and Paul seems to have this issue.
- Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Dizzy, one of the female Super Wings, aside from being pink, has noticeable eyelashes. Astra, another female Super Wing, has eyelashes and what looks like a curl of “hair” between her eyes.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: Mira (Tomboy) and Dizzy (Girly Girl).
- Transforming Mecha: The Wings can shift into humanoid form, Transformers-style.
- Victory Pose: Astra is shown doing one in the season 2 end credits.
- World Tour: Not necessarily a "tour", but Jett travels to different places around the world and meets different kids there.
