4	!! Tropes
5	* CallBack:
6	** The Ice King's Demonic Wishing Eye, first shown in [[Recap/AdventureTimeS1E17WhenWeddingBellsThaw "When Wedding Bells Thaw,"]] is utilized by Gunter.
7	** Gunter is still in the habit of breaking bottles, as demonstrated in [[Recap/AdventureTimeS3E7Still "Still"]].
8	** This is also the first appearance of Gunther's "baby" since [[Recap/AdventureTimeS2E11TheChamberOfFrozenBlades "The Chamber of Frozen Blades"]], outside of a background cameo in [[Recap/AdventureTimeS4E9PrincessMonsterWife "Princess Monster Wife"]].
9	* ContinuityNod: Various wizards from [[Recap/AdventureTimeS3E8WizardBattle "Wizard Battle"]] reappear, along with Bufo from [[Recap/AdventureTimeS1E11Wizard "Wizard"]].
10	* ADayInTheLimelight: Gunter has a chance to be a VillainOfTheWeek in this episode.
11	* DidntThinkThisThrough:
12	** Finn tries to distract Gunther with a huge pile of glass bottles for him to break. Unfortunately, he didn't have a plan for what to do about Gunther afterwards, and the hundreds of Gunther clones literally go through the bottles in a matter of seconds.
13	** Bubblegum’s plan is to rebuild the broken glass bottles, let the Gunters break them, rebuild them again, and so on…forever.
14	-->'''Finn:''' Bub, your plan...bunks.
15	* DragonInChief: Gunter proves to be a far more competent villain than The Ice King.
16	* FreezeFrameBonus:
17	** The Ice King's web search history has some amusing entries that can be briefly seen when he looks up "wizard market" on his computer.
18	** When the kitten blows up the castle wall, a piece of debris is shaped like Tree Trunks.
19	* FromNobodyToNightmare: With the magic eye, Gunter goes from an ordinary penguin to a PersonOfMassDestruction that almost conquers the Candy Kingdom.
20	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Ice King looks at the viewer when he says "Wizards only, fools! Keep it tight!", though he appears to just be talking to himself.
21	* {{Malaproper}}: Princess Bubblegum refers to the Gumball Guardians as "calvary" instead of "cavalry".
22	* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: We don't see the Ice King's escape from Wizard City.
23	* SelfDuplication: Gunter makes an army of green clones of himself and goes on a rampage.
24	* ShoutOut: Some of the items on the web store that Ice King visits are very similar to items from ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' games.

27	* ThatSatisfyingCrunch: Upset with how he’s been treated by Ice King, Gunter creates hundreds of clones of himself to break every piece of glass he can find.
