After the other Titans force Robin to do the Booty Scooty to be let into Titan Tower, he informs everyone that rich land developers plan to replace the tower with a shopping mall, so they look for pirate booty to fight back.
- Awesome, but Impractical: The Rube Goldberg Device mentioned below.
- Beat Them at Their Own Game: Robin's idea of fighting rich land barons with money is to throw more money at them, hence the treasure hunt.
- Book Ends: The episode starts and ends with characters having to do the Booty Scooty.
- Community-Threatening Construction: The Titans Tower is threatened to be torn down to make way for a mall. Everyone but Robin is looking forward to it.
- Contractual Genre Blindness: Robin's constant insistence on doing things 'the right way', even when the others point out all the ways danger could have been avoided.
- Don't You Dare Pity Me!: When the Titans find the treasure clutched in the hands of an old skeleton, Robin pays his respects by leaving behind a gem. A ghost then comes out of the skeleton, and is outraged at Robin, having been fine with them taking the treasure but interpreting Robin's display of respect as shameful pity.
- Glad I Thought of It: At the end of the episode, Robin decides to sell the treasure map to a museum, frustrating the other Titans due to them stating that exact solution at the start.
- Rube Goldberg Device: Once Robin's sufficiently embarrassed himself, the Titans start one up...which fails to even open the fence keeping Robin out. Later, the ghost that was guarding the treasure uses one on the Titans after being upset with Robin's offering of one lousy gem and also fails.
- Shaking the Rump: Robin, much to his reluctance, has to do the Booty Scooty in front of the other Titans just so they can let him into the Tower... to the point that he literally shakes his butt off. The Freak also has to do the same thing at the end of the episode.
- Stating the Simple Solution: The other Titans do this throughout the adventure to contrast Robin's Contractual Genre Blindness, such as suggesting they just sell an ancient treasure map to a museum rather than risk their lives using it to find treasure.
- Stuffy Old Songs About the Buttocks: The Booty Scooty Dance.
- Whole-Plot Reference: This episode is one to The Goonies. It even includes a scene where they skip a fight with a giant octopus because they're short on time, like the deleted scene from the film.
- Worthless Yellow Rocks: The Titans feel all the treasure in the attic, including the map, could save the tower instead of going on a treasure hunt.
