* SequelHook: Some books end with Geronimo talking about something that happened after the end, saying "But that's another story, which I'll tell you very soon!". None of these sequels happened yet[[hottip:*:including a ''Paws Off, Cheddarface!'' sequel where Geronimo exploits the IdenticalStranger for his own needs and one about Geronimo running at the New York Marathon]].
** A particular case was the [[VerySpecialEpisode Oliver]] story. It was a short book about one of Benjamin's schoolmates, the titular [[LongLostUncleAesop Oliver]], having problems to move around with his wheelchair. With the help of his friends and Geronimo, he gets the mayor of New Mouse City build more entry ramps in the city, and the story ends with a [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture scene from ten years later]] where an adult Oliver wins at the Special Olympic Games, with Geronimo's "I'll tell you very soon!" speech, and a advertisement promising a full series starring Oliver and dealing with a different disability in each book. Both of these things never got released, sadly.

He's often accompanied by his sister Thea, his Cousin Trap, and his favorite nephew Benjamin.\\
Each book is written by Geronimo in the first person, since he is a [[FlintstoneTheming famouse]] author and publisher/editor-in-chief of The Rodent's Gazette, the most popular newspaper in New Mouse City.
Along with Geronimo, his sister Thea has her own stories involving her and a group of journalism students known as the "Thea Sisters". It's also announced that Creepella will also have her own stories coming out in late 2011.

!!Geronimo's literary adventures include examples of:
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Creepella Von Cacklefur to Geronimo.
* ActuallyIAmHim: When Geronimo first met his newly-hired assistant, Pinky Pick, he assumed she was his assistant's daughter, since she's only fourteen years old.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Chef Stewrat's long and very disgusting list of ingredients for his stew recipe ends with "...[plus] a little salt and pepper!"
* BarefootCartoonAnimals: Despite being otherwise fully-dressed, almost none of the characters wear shoes. The most notable aversion is [[TheOneWhoWearsShoes Pinky Pick]].
* BigShadowLittleCreature: This happened with Benjamin (Geronimo's nephew) in one book.
* ChasteToons: Benjamin is Geronimo's favorite (and only) nephew. A rather extreme example, as Geronimo's only mentioned sister, Thea, is not Benjamin's mother, nor is any mention of her made in any of the books (yet). All this despite there being [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters Loads and Loads of Stiltons]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: The Von Cacklefurs.
* DisguisedInDrag: In "Paws Off, Cheddarface!" Trap is made up to look like Sally Ratmousen in order to counter her IdenticalStranger Gambit.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: Happens to Geronimo a number of times in "Watch Your Whiskers, Stilton!"
* EvenEvilHasStandards: In "The Giant Diamond Robbery," Sally Ratmousen's profile states, "She's known for breaking the rules, except on the golf course, because that's unethical!"
* [[ExcitedEpisodeTitle Excited Volume Title]]: "I'm Too Fond of my Fur!" "Paws Off, Cheddarface!" "It's Halloween, You 'Fraidy Mouse!" " Merry Christmas, Geronimo!" "Watch Your Whiskers, Stilton!" "Surf's Up, Geronimo!"
* FunnyAnimal
* HoldYourHippogriffs: The books are stuffed with [[FlintstoneTheming mouse-ified phrases]].
* IdenticalStranger: "Paws Off, Cheddarface!"
* LiteraryAgentHypothesis: All the books are "written by" Geronimo Himself.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Mouse puns, mostly.
* NotAllowedToGrowUp: You'd think that after all the adventures the gang goes through, they're portrayed as being older.
* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: Pinky Pick.
* PlotDrivenBreakdown: In "A Very Merry Christmas," Geronimo accidentally picks up someone else's bag instead of his own. The other person calls her own cellphone and starts to make arrangements for her and Geronimo to meet up and exchange bags, but her phone dies ''just'' before she says where to find her.
* SceneryPorn: Later books have BEAUTIFUL backgrounds. Most notably is the Fantasy Kingdom books (The third one has a beautiful depiction of New Mouse City in spring)
* ShaggyDogStory: "Geronimo Stilton, Secret Agent"
* ShoutOut: In "The Secret of Cacklefur Castle," the Cacklefurs have a pet cockroach named [[FranzKafka Kafka]].
* SpeciesSurname: Not as many as you'd think.

** DoubleStandard: The Contessa's rather [[RapeIsOkWhenItIsFemaleOnMale aggressive advances on Geronimo]], albeit the G-rated kind, is portrayed as funny; but heaven help the show against the MoralGuardians and MediaWatchdogs if they're gender-flipped.
* BarefootCartoonAnimals: Just as in the original books. However, as a variation, they do put on the needed footwear once they venture out of civilization.
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Big Toes, from the S2 episode "The Legend Of Big Toes". [[spoiler: Though he's actually no different from the humanoid mice in the show; only much, much taller, hairier, and being [[TheSpeechless speechless]].]]
* ButtMonkey: Trap is more of this than his cousin Geronimo was in the original books.
* CompositeCharacter: Benjamin in the TV series appears to be given the role and personality of his counterpart in the book series and Pinky Pick.
* ChekhovsGun: At the beginning of "The Mask of Rat-Jitsu", Geronimo takes out a vial of a rare, strong-smelling cheese from his safe and inadvertently puts it in his clothes. He finally got to use it [[spoiler:during the said episode's climax to knock out the villain of the episode and his {{mook}}s.]]
* EverybodyLaughsEnding: Done for a few episodes.
* EverythingIsOnline: The only explanation on how Benjamin could hack into almost anything.
* [[FiveManBand Five Mouse Band]]: The main characters are presented as this:
** [[TheHero The (Loser) Hero]]:Geronimo
** TheLancer: Thea
** TheBigGuy: Trap
** TheSmartGuy: Benjamin
** TheChick[=/=]TagAlongKid: Pandora (Bugsy Wugsy in the books)
* TheFool: Trap. Full stop.
* HollywoodHacking: Benjamin does this ''in spades''.
* InevitableWaterfall: In the S2 episode "The Legend Of Big Toes", Geronimo was tricked into falling into the river and almost fell down one of these. [[spoiler: He was saved by the titular Big Toes.]]
* TheLabRat: Literally in [[TheProfessor Professor]] [[GadgeteerGenius Von Volt's]] case.
* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: Sally wears a pair of killer heels.

The other person calls her own cellphone and starts to make arrangements for her and Geronimo to meet up and exchange bags, but her phone dies ''just'' before she says where to find her.

!!The Animated Adaptation include examples of:
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Geronimo gets another one in the form of the Contessa in the S2 episode "Bloodlines". Granted, she could qualify as a {{BBW}}, but still...
** DoubleStandard: The Contessa's rather [[RapeIsOkWhenItIsFemaleOnMale aggressive advances on Geronimo]], albeit the G-rated kind, is portrayed as funny; but heaven help the show against the MoralGuardians and MediaWatchdogs if they're gender-flipped.
* BarefootCartoonAnimals: Just as in the original books. However, as a variation, they do put on the needed footwear once they venture out of civilization.
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Big Toes, from the S2 episode "The Legend Of Big Toes". [[spoiler: Though he's actually no different from the humanoid mice in the show; only much, much taller, hairier, and being [[TheSpeechless speechless]].]]
* ButtMonkey: Trap is more of this than his cousin Geronimo was in the original books.
* CompositeCharacter: Benjamin in the TV series appears to be given the role and personality of his counterpart in the book series and Pinky Pick.
* ChekhovsGun: At the beginning of "The Mask of Rat-Jitsu", Geronimo takes out a vial of a rare, strong-smelling cheese from his safe and inadvertently puts it in his clothes. He finally got to use it [[spoiler:during the said episode's climax to knock out the villain of the episode and his {{mook}}s.]]
* EverybodyLaughsEnding: Done for a few episodes.
* EverythingIsOnline: The only explanation on how Benjamin could hack into almost anything.
* [[FiveManBand Five Mouse Band]]: The main characters are presented as this:
** [[TheHero The (Loser) Hero]]:Geronimo
** TheLancer: Thea
** TheBigGuy: Trap
** TheSmartGuy: Benjamin
** TheChick[=/=]TagAlongKid: Pandora (Bugsy Wugsy in the books)
* TheFool: Trap. Full stop.
* HollywoodHacking: Benjamin does this ''in spades''.
* InevitableWaterfall: In the S2 episode "The Legend Of Big Toes", Geronimo was tricked into falling into the river and almost fell down one of these. [[spoiler: He was saved by the titular Big Toes.]]
* TheLabRat: Literally in [[TheProfessor Professor]] [[GadgeteerGenius Von Volt's]] case.
* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: Sally wears a pair of killer heels.
* PettingZooPeople: The overall character design is of the "borderline PZP" case. While they don't exactly look like humans with animal accents, they don't look as rodent as the original books' illustrations either.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Geronimo and Thea.
