* '''Subverted''': ???The GrandFinale of ''Trope Adventures'' seems to be a DistantFinale, because we see a character who looks like a grown-up version of Hiro visiting Alice and Bob, who don't appear to have aged at all. However, it turns out that no significant length of time has actually passed, and the "adult Hiro" is actually his long-lost [[StrongFamilyResemblance uncle]] coming to visit.

Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': After a TimeSkip where younger characters have grown up, adults don't appear to have aged at all.
* '''Straight''': The DistantFinale ''Trope Adventures'' shows [[KidHero Hiro]] grown up, but his parents Alice and Bob still appear to be the same age as they were in the main series.
* '''Exaggerated''': There's a TimeSkip to 100 years in the future, but Alice and Bob still look exactly the same.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Alice and Bob have some grey hairs or wrinkles, but otherwise look the same as they did in the main series.
** The TimeSkip is only a few years in the future.
* '''Justified''':
** In more downplayed cases, this can be TruthInTelevision, since the rate at which a younger person ages is much more noticeable than the rate at which an adult ages.
** Alice and/or Bob are of a species that ages differently than Hiro's.
** Alice and Bob don't appear to age because they were affected by the FountainOfYouth.
