!!Tropes:
* ActingUnnatural: Shelby tells Finn not to try and impress James Baxter and just be himself, but Finn is too nervous and gets all awkward instead.
* AnimationBump: Again, James Baxter moves more fluidly than the other characters, but only when he's happy.
* TheBusCameBack: James Baxter.
* DancingWithMyself: At the end of the episode, James Baxter rejects a new beach ball in favor of dancing into the sunset. Finn believes he's doing it for his own enjoyment.
* HeroicBSOD: After losing his ball, James Baxter goes into a deep depression and is unable to do anything.
* HiddenDepths: James Baxter rides around on a beach ball saying his name for the ''exact reason'' that it makes other people happy. He abandoned [[CivilizedAnimal an urban society]] of [[FullyDressedCartoonAnimal horses]], even tossing away a [[BindleStick bindle full of money]] to drive home that he was leaving behind whatever life he lived before. He devoted himself to his beach ball routine so much that he becomes near-catatonic when it pops, and he seemingly never did anything to make ''himself'' happy.
* LineOfSightName: The in-universe reason why James Baxter says his name is because when he started his routine to cheer up a bat, he saw items labeled "games" and "bookstore".
* SequelEpisode: To "James Baxter The Horse".
* SpeechImpairedAnimal: James Baxter is actually saying "games bookstore" due to reading those words when developing his routine.
* TrashOfTheTitans: Raggedy Princess' kingdom is a monumental landfill, which she boasts you can find anything in if you poke around long enough.
* VerbalTicName: It's implied that "James Baxter" is not a name the horse chose, he's just mispronouncing a chant of "games bookstore" and everyone assumed that's his name.
