Along these same lines, I'm curious if anyone would be interested in either a "Literature" page or another sub-section for the tropes from the single paperback novel, "Cyberchase: The Search for the Power Orb".
I have a few trope examples for that:
Fading Away: After the titular Power Orb is stolen from Serentia, all of the land on the cybersite is slowly deleted piece by piece. Thankfully, our heroes restore the Power Orb before the final pieces can be deleted
Hastily Hidden MacGuffin: Izzy steals the titular Power Orb back from The Hacker. As he ends up cornered, he hides the orb inside a Recharger Chair unit to avoid The Hacker retrieving it. After the Cybersquad arrives, it is revealed that The Hacker sold three of those Recharger Chair units to different villains. The heroes must check all of the Recharger Chair units to find the Power Orb.
Heel–Face Brainwashing: During the group's encounter with Zorgon the evil wizard, Izzy knocks over various potions, one of which turns magically turns Zorgon nice. There is no indication that he remembers his former self.
Our Ghosts are Different: Despite being a ghost, Ivanka the Invincible manages to get knocked over by a wave of water and tangled in her own ship's rigging.
The Radio Dies First: The first area of Cybersite Serentia to be deleted in the communication center. This prevents them from being able to call for help.
Walk the Plank: Matt, Jackie, Inez, Digit, and Izzy are all sent to walk the plank by Ivanka the Invincible for attempting to steal back the titular Power Orb
The recent episode "Trees, Please" from season 14, seems like a fine candidate for a mention under the "Something Completely Different" umbrella, but I'm not sure which specific trope to use. It's the first episode where the main conflict is in the real world, after being briefly set up in Cyberspace, but I wouldn't call it a "Formula-Breaking Episode", because everything is pretty much as usual apart from the setting. Neither is it really a "Real-World Episode because Cyberspace is not treated as fiction on Earth. Again, It's just a matter of the primary setting. Any suggestions?

The Shout Out list is getting pretty long and growing still. At what point might it be prudent to make a separate page to list the various references?
Another troper ... oh no!
I'm curious whether there is any interest in adding a "Web Comic" page (or even just a separate section on the "Western Animation" page) to document the tropes from "Cyberchase Web Adventures", which was the official five-issue companion webcomic for Cyberchase. The webcomics are no longer on the site, but they have been recovered and re-assembled in their entirety as Flashpoint Archive curations. They are pretty short, so there would probably only need to be one page to hold them all.
Episodes 1-3 "How It All Started": https://archive.org/details/cyberchase-how-it-all-started.-7z
Episode 4 "Numberless Poddles": https://archive.org/details/cyberchase-numberless-poddles.-7z
Episode 5 "Hacker Jack": https://archive.org/details/cyberchase-hacker-jack.-7z
I couldn't see how to add a "Web Comic" page to the Cyberchase group itself. It's probably possible, though. I can see that the "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" group has both a "Literature" section and a "Video Game" section at the same time, and both of those groups could have been "Main" sections.
I have a few trope examples to help start a page.
"Cut Short": Episode 5, "Hacker Jack", presents the idea that The Hacker will use his lever and fulcrum to knock over the large Tiki statues. The episode ends with a plea from Motherboard for the readers to submit drawing of contraptions to stop The Hacker. However, this was the last episode ever made, so we never see the end result of The Hacker's plan.
"Limited Animation": Episodes 1 through 4 contained simple animations for some of the art work, usually consisting of two to three frames repeated.
"Locked Up And Left Behind": Episode 4, "Numberless Poddles", ends with the Cybersquad leaving The Hacker, Buzz, and Delete locked in the Poddleville Vault.
"Memory Wipe Exploitation": This was The Hacker's central plan in episode 4, "Numberless Poddles". He has stolen the Poddles' numbers, which serve as both a major piece to each character's identity and gives them information on their role in society. He has also stolen the record book containing their numbers, and he has made them forget their numbers. He believes that when he is the only one to hold that information, the Poddles will have no other choice but to make him their new leader, so that he can tell them what they are supposed to do.
"Origins Episode": The three episodes of "How It All Started" were produced before the Cyberchase show began airing. They give a brief run-down of how Cyberspace works, and then they show Dr Marbles creating The Hacker, as well as The Hacker creating Digit.
"Reading The Enemy's Mail": In episode 2 of "How It All Started", The Hacker has scrambled the circuits of Cybersite Valussa, knocking out their power. Digit is still working for The Hacker. He bravely sends a coded message to the citizens of that cybersite explaining how to restore their power. The webcomic transitions into a Javascript web game about decoding the message.
"Safecracking": In episode 1 of "How It All Started", Digit needs to crack The Hacker's safe to retrieve the Encryptor Chip that he stole from Motherboard. The webcomic transitions into a Java Script web game about identifying and following patterns.
"Weaponized Headgear": At the end of episode 4, "Numberless Poddles", the Cybersquad defeats Hacker, Buzz, and Delete by slapping giant party hats over their heads.
