* AffectionateParody: "Use Your Noodle Soup" is portrayed as one to the ''VideoGame/BrainAge'' franchise, stemming for Daffy's suggestion for a "mind improvement game", but in practice it's a bigger one for ''VideoGame/CookingMama'', since you're chopping up ingredients to boil in a pot... along with Daffy.

* HumanCannonball: "Load the Cannon", except you're not aiming Daffy at the target, but at the giant barrel of TNT in the arena.



* PainfullySlowProjectile: Duck Dodgers' blaster is one of the slowest energy balls in fiction, giving the player ''plenty'' of time to adjust the teleportation machine on the bottom screen. Marvin rightfully seems utterly unconcerned about it.



* RewardingInactivity: About half of the minigames are triggered by actively messing with Daffy, the background around him, or the DS itself; the other half consist of just patiently hanging out on said screen until the game throws you a scenario.

* MinigameGame: What the entire game boils down to, with many stylus-based minigames. Even closing the DS triggers a minigame.



* {{Postmodernism}}: Just like its origin animation, the game explores the relationship between Daffy and the world outside the cartoon, with the caveat that the player is actively deciding what to subject him to.



* ShoutOut: In "Exploding Piano", after clearing Level Four, Daffy says [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration "There are four lights!"]] and after clearing Level Five in Free Play Mode, says "[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Goombas ate my lunch, my dear plumber!"]]

** After getting annoyed with his clone from the second screen, Daffy [[Franchise/StreetFighter Shoryukens]] him out of existence.
** In the opening movie, the animator produces a futuristic platformer for scenery, so Daffy runs off-camera and comes back in Franchise/MegaMan-style gear and an ArmCannon.

!!Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck contains examples of the following tropes:

* ContinuityNod: Many references to Daffy's classic shorts.
** The minigame "Deal The Cards" is a call back to ''WesternAnimation/DripALongDaffy''. Each time you succeed, Daffy gets shot up with bullets.
** ''WesternAnimation/RobinHoodDaffy'' gets a shout out in the second minigame. Daffy shoots himself with a bow and has to dodge obstacles to reach the Sheriff.
* IncrediblyLamePun: When the game glitches and a picture of Bugs Bunny suddenly pops up, Daffy exclaims the game is full of "bugs".
-->'''Daffy''': See? I told you they need my brain! This game is full of Bugs! Pardon the expression.
* MinigameGame: What the entire game boils down to, with many stylus-based minigames.
* TheStinger: The big twist of the game reveals that Daffy's tormentor is [[spoiler: himself]].
-->'''[[spoiler: Daffy]]''': If you can't beat 'em, beat 'em.
* VideoGame3DLeap: Parodied in "Marvin's Revenge", which begins with Daffy thinking of himself as being a 3D polygonal "Next-Gen" character, he steps into a machine, turning him in a very low polygon version of himself.
-->'''Daffy''': THIS is Next-Gen? I said "Next-Gen" you slob! Next Gen!
