* TimeBomb: Rocket builds a bomb with two buttons, one that starts a five-minute countdown before detonation, and one that instantly detonates the bomb. Rocket instructs Groot to attach the bomb to Ego's brain and press the button that starts the countdown ([[JustifiedTrope since they need time to escape the planet before detonation, so they don't die on the collapsing planet]]), but Groot is unable to understand Rocket's instructions and enters Ego's core before Rocket can finish the mission briefing. Fortunately, Groot does press the right button upon attaching the bomb to Ego's brain.

* DistinctionWithoutADifference: During an argument, Peter calls Rocket a raccoon, which is Rocket's big BerserkButton. Peter apologizes, admits that he went too far... and says that he meant "trash panda" instead.

* CulturalTranslation: Film/MaryPoppins does not have widespread recognition in Taiwan. It turns out that Totoro--the titular spirit from ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro'', who also magically flies with an umbrella--is a better cultural reference. Therefore in the Taiwanese Dub (and Subtitled) version of the movie, when Yondu floats down on his arrow, he shouts "I'm Totoro, Y'All!!"

* FunnyConceptionStory: Implied. Drax mentions that he heard the story of his conception as a tradition every winter solstice, but aside from him mentioning that the story was "beautiful", no specific details are given.

1) Totoro isn't a cat. 2) Yondu wasn't floating with an umbrella.


* CrushTheKeepsake: Furious over Peter's refusal to [[WeCanRuleTogether join him in conquering the cosmos]], Ego smashes his son's Walkman and mix-tape, Peter's one gift from his late mother he had kept since he was eight.

* CompactInfiltrator:
** Yondu claims that the reason why he kept young Peter Quill instead of bringing him to Ego as per their agreement was because Quill was smaller than anyone else in his gang, making him useful for sneaking through tight spots - or as he puts it, "good for thievin'." He's lying: it's because Yondu figured out that he'd been hired to track down Ego's various children so that the Living Planet could use one of them as a battery for [[AssimilationPlot the Expansion]]. Plus, Ego was [[WouldHurtAChild murdering the kids]] who [[YouHaveFailedMe didn't measure up]], a fact that prompted [[WouldNotHurtAChild Yondu]] to grow a conscience.
** In the finale, Baby Groot is found to be the only member of the team small enough to sneak through the tunnels and plant the bomb on Ego's brain. The only downside is that Baby Groot [[TheDitz isn't terribly bright]]: even after repeated explanations, he can't remember the difference between the button that activates the timer and the button that triggers instant detonation. Worse still, he [[LeeroyJenkins sets off before Rocket can finish the mission briefing]].

** Yondu metaphorically smacks some sense into Rocket by pointing out that he's pushing his friends away for fear of being hurt, and Rocket comes to accept his role in the family the Guardians have made for themselves and is one of the most hard hit by Yondu's death, letting his estranged family know of his redemption so they'll attend his funeral.

* DiegeticSoundtrackUsage: Like its predecessor, the film makes extensive use of diagetic music. It's one of the most popular things about the trilogy. The movie ends with a perfect example, having had one problematic father die helping him kill a monstrously abusive father, Peter puts on Yusuf[=]/[=]Cat Stevens' "Father and Son" over the ships speakers, and we learn that fathers can change as the Ravagers show up to forgive Yondu and give him a Ravager's Funeral, to the cheers and tears of Yondu's other son, Kraglin.

* CreditsGag: A few of the listed closing credits start out as "I am Groot" before changing to the actual line (including Marvel Studios and "[[NoAnimalsWereHarmed No raccoons or tree creatures were harmed in the making of this movie. The same cannot be said for handlers of said raccoons and tree creatures.]]").
