History WesternAnimation / MartinMystery

In October 2023, a new adaptation of Martin Mystery is being produced.

* SiblingSwitchSquick: As previously mentioned, Martin and Diana were originally lovers who eventually got married rather than stepsiblings in the original comics.

** "Return Of The Beasts" . A mad paleontologist (yes, really) uses a huge geode to create dinosaurs and send them to rampage through the city for no apparent reason. At the end, Martin tricks one to melt the geode with its acid spit (really, dinosaurs do that), which causes every dinosaur to spontaneously melt into sludge. And is when you consider that the same paleontologist created ''Java'' through the same process, yet he remains intact and joins the gang permanently. (It's a flashback episode).

* BrotherSisterTeam: Technically, Martin and Diana are ''step''siblings and not actual siblings, but they treat each other like real siblings and do seem to genuinely care for each other.

* MagicSkirt: An upper body variant. In the episode where Martin and Diana hang out with Gerard they're hung upside down, and Diana's t-shirt slides down but only enough to [[BareYourMidriff bare her midriff]].

* BalefulPolymorph: Occasionally, the main characters and/or a bunch of random characters will be transformed into an animal. They all turn back at the end, obviously.

* AmusementParkOfDoom: In the episode "Journey into Terrorland". Downpplayed in that it's based off of horrifying supernatural events, it only becomes worse due to the people constructing it accidentally taking an artifact of a deceased Egyptian prince for one of the rides.

* AmusementParkOfDoom: In the episode "Journey into Terrorland".

* BaldMystic: In the episode "The Lost Tribe," Diana loses all her hair after a hair dye job goes wrong and is mistaken by a group of underground creatures as their long lost queen.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Before becoming the harmless alien we know, Billy was a ruthless gladiator that went about destroying planets after he annihilated them. [[spoiler: He returned to this stage once and boy was it a battle.]]

* CoincidentalAccidentalDisguise: Diana resembled the queen of an ancient race called Alpha-Omega due to two things: One, she was trying out a hair dye that caused her hair to fall out and leave a stain on her balding head, and MOM just so happened to toss her a tooth necklace (she stated it was so everyone would pay attention to it instead of her head).

* FacingYourFears: Episode Attack of the Sandman forced the protagonists and the Sandman's other victims to face their nightmares in order to get out of the monster's domain.

''Martin Mystery'' (2003-2006) is a French/Canadian animated series based on the Italian comic book ''Martin Mystere'', animated by [[Creator/MarathonMedia the studio that brought you]] ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' and produced for Creator/{{YTV}}.

** The entire series is ''very'' loosely based on the Italian comic book ''Martin Mystere''.

** Martin's watch that connects him to the The Center of paranormal investigations is colored deep purple and teal, as is most of the gadgets he uses to collect clues.

* FighterMageThief: Martin is the Thief as despite not being that bright, he is actually rather clever and thinks on his feet by improvising while also being known as a trickster. Diana is the Mage as she is academically smart and thinks more rationally but is often the most vulnerable. Java is the Fighter as he is a caveman with limited vocabulary and intelligence, but is physically strong and tough who usually does most of the trio's muscle work.

** One of Martin's speculative [[ImagineSpot fantasies]] features a [[Film/TheWaroftheWorlds Martian Fighting Machine]].

** One of the most notable examples is the Mothman, who was a college student who ended up as the test subject of ''his own teachers’'' illegal experiment to create a human moth hybrid. Needless to say, the teachers were arrested once the truth is uncovered, and the Center took the student to restore him to his human form.
