''[[Street Sharks]]'' was an animated series about four teenage boys whose scientist father is kidnapped by a rival scientist named Dr. Paradigm and transformed into a monster. When they attempt to rescue him, Dr. Paradigm transforms them into anthropomorphic sharks. In their first battle, Dr. Paradigm is injected with the same chemical mixture intended for the sharks' kooky-but-genius sidekick, giving him the ability to [[Hulking Out|transform into a piranha monster when angry.]] It causes severe drama, [[Hero
== The [[Street Sharks]] are: ==▼
* Ripster (former name John): [[The Hero|the leader]]; a great white shark.
* Streex (former name Bobby): [[The Lancer|the second in command]]; a tiger shark.
Line 11 ⟶ 10:
* Slammu (former name Coop): [[The Big Guy]] and youngest of the sharks; a whale shark.
* Lena and Bends: Their friends from college
* Moby Lick (former name Jets Taylor): a friend from high school who was turned into an orca whale
* Rox (former name Melvin Kresnik): a rock musician who was turned into a mako shark
* Mantaman (former name Dr. Terrence Morton): a scientist who was turned into a manta ray

* [[Animal Stereotypes]]
* [[Apathetic Citizens]]: The residents of Fission City seem weirdly...undisturbed, considering that they've got multiple large mutants (and later, dinosaur-shaped aliens) running around their city. On the other hand, [[Too Dumb to Live|very few seem smart to begin with]]...
Line 32 ⟶ 30:
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Dr Piranoid.
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]: Streex wears them.
* [[Five
* [[Follow the Leader]]: One of several humanoid animal hero groups in the wake of the Ninja Turtles.
* [[Hero
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: The word "shark" is in every title.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Yes Doctor Bolton, we're sure you're a brilliant man. Perhaps confronting a [[Mad Scientist]] in an abandoned laboratory over [[For Science!|illegal experiments]] at night, without [[Have You Told Anyone Else?|telling anyone else about this]] wasn't the best idea though.
* [[Karmic Transformation]]: Dr. Paradigm to Dr. Piranoid.
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: Not too many ways to see this series anymore.
** The first five or so episodes are on [[YouTube]] and the first three episodes (which make up the pilot) are very easy to find, mostly because those were all released on VHS. Most after that are really hard to find and if you want to see the very last episodes, you're pretty much SOL.
** Netflix has the entire series available for streaming, albeit ordered differently from the original run.
* [[Merchandise
* [[Missing Mom]]: Their mom is virtually nonexistent and is only mentioned once in the pilot, when it is revealed that she once gave their dad a watch and it was implied that she was dead.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: Dr. Paradigm. True, giant shark-men aren't exactly going to inspire confidence, but does that really mean that you should trust a man who goes around town in a giant, heavily armed diving suit? Of course he'd still set off villain alarms in civilian garb.
Line 48 ⟶ 46:
* [[Painful Transformation]]: Every transformation includes a lot of pain as the transforming characters nearly always scream in pain.
* [[Pinocchio Syndrome]]: One of the main goals of the protagonists is to get turned back to humans, though this tends to take backseat.
* [[Playing
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Moby Lick, Rox, and Mantaman (none of them stuck around permanently).
* [[Strapped to An Operating Table]]: Happens to the heroes in the pilot when they are being turned into sharks.
Line 58 ⟶ 56:
** A case of [[Fridge Brilliance]] as Sharks are generally predatory animals and would prefer eating meat.
* [[Unscaled Merfolk]]
* [[Villain
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: The Street Sharks never wear a shirt. Moby Lick, Mantaman and Killamari also go shirtless.
* [[You Fail Biology Forever]]: More likely [[Did Not Do the Research]], but there's a reason why they are called ''whale'' sharks. Whale Sharks are shrimp-eating, filter-feeding, peaceful creatures that do not have giant sharp teeth and are not dangerous to anything larger than a tiny fish.
