1	* TheDanza: In [=TY2=] and [=3=], Gooboo Steve is voiced by creative director Steve Stamatiadis.
2	* FollowTheLeader: Conceptually, Ty is obviously following in the footsteps of ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'', both of them being platforming mascots based on obscure Australian mammals. Additionally, the games are often criticized for being blatant ripoffs of the ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' (the pause status screen in the first game especially bears uncanny resemblance to that game's version) and, later, the ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'' games. The first game less so, feeling more like ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' with a lot of fetch quests, and the bilbies looking like they could easily fit into a Rare game. Only Ty has a lot more combat, weapons, and abuse of non-anthropomorphic animals. In addition, the title character was obviously made in the MascotWithAttitude mold, following the trend started by ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''.
3	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The Game Boy Advance versions of 2 and 3 have never seen a Re-release unlike their console counterparts.
4	* LateExportForYou: While the first two games were released worldwide, the third game didn't make it to Europe until it was released on Steam in 2018.
5	* TheOtherDarrin: The voice cast has changed between games. While characters such as Maurie, Dennis, Boss Cass, Fluffy, and Rex have the same voice actors throughout the series, others, including Ty, Shazza, Sly, Ranger Ken, and Julius, have different voice actors, with Shazza and Sly being egregious examples, as they have a different voice each game. Ty, in particular, was voiced by veteran video game voice actor Creator/GregEllis in the second and third games.
6	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
7	** The second game was originally going to have a time travel plot, Betty and Duncan were a younger Di and Bri, and Karlos was supposed to be an older Julius. Probably might explain the dinosaurs.
8	** There was going to be an animated series produced by Creator/FilmRoman, but was scrapped due to networks not showing interest in it.
9	** The first game was originally going to have a fourth set of levels after getting the Zappyrang. Said planned levels were a night Outback level, a mangrove level and another Great Barrier Reef level. The Zappyrang would've played a major role in these levels for electricity-based puzzles instead of just being used to grant access to the final level. Even without knowing this, it's evidenced by unlockable concept art showing a fourth, earth-themed variety of opal. It also explains why you get two talismans in the final level instead of just one.
10	* WordOfGod: According to Steve Statamadias, whilst you never revisit Rainbow Cliffs after the first game, it is located by the Bush Rescue HQ in Burramudgee.
