History Recap / DuckTalesS2E1TimeIsMoney

* BodySurf: The party winds up in an underground cavern with a lot of water. They wind up using Launchpad as an impromptu raft, because his jacket is watertight (when he zips it up).

** Gyro's TimeMachine is fueled by a substance named Bombastium that needs to remain frozen to work. In the comics, Bombastium is an infinite supply of ice cream.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
* HiddenDepths: Launchpad shows an artistic side when he makes a statue of Sensen out of snow.

* EveryoneHasStandards: In "The Duck Who Would Be King" Scrooge is appalled when finding out that the TreacherousAdvisor has been stealing from the people instead of earning it fair. He also [[WhatTheHellHero calls out Sensen]] about letting a child all alone face a horde of bandits.

* EveryoneHasStandards: In "The Duck Who Would Be King" Scrooge is appalled when finding out that the TreacherousAdvisor has been stealing from the people instead of earning it fair. He even [[WhatTheHellHero scolds Sensen]] about letting a child all alone face a horde of bandits.

* BookEnds: In "Marking Time", when Bubba first met Scrooge, he inadvertently saved him from a Tyrannosaurus when the time machine landed on its tail. In "Ali Bubba's Cave", when Scrooge in the others are cornered by a reptilian beast, [[BigDamnHeroes Bubba inadvertently returns the favor]].

* EveryoneHasStandards: In "The Duck Who Would Be King" Scrooge is appalled when finding out that the TreacherousAdvisor has been stealing from the people instead of earning it fair. He even [[WhatTheHellHero scolds Sensen]] [[PapaWolf about letting a child all alone face a hord of bandits]].

* {{Filler}}: "The Duck Who Would Be King" can easily be left out without disturbing the course of the story. At the end of the first episode, the protagonists attempt to return to the present after traveling to prehistoric times. At the start of the second episode they accidentally arrive in another ancient time period and have an adventure unrelated to the main plot of the story arc. They leave this time period again at the end of the episode. At the start of the third episode, they finally arrive back in the present. None of the events from the second episode are ever mentioned again in the rest of the story arc, and episodes one and three perfectly connect to each other even without episode two in between.

** Scrooge having ten million dollars in his top hat is one to the comicbook story "The Heedless Horseman", where he buys a race horse for that amount.

* NobodysThatDumb: After the triplets and Mrs. Beakley have both taken turns watching Bubba (and chaos has ensued), Scrooge tries to dump him off on Launchpad. The pilot initially refuses, saying that he's dumb but not crazy.

* PapaWolf: Read EverybodyHasStandards.
* PyrrhicVictory: See LaserGuidedKarma. Glomgold wins and gains complete control of the island and the mine, but he ultimately loses the diamonds, all of which go straight to the island Scrooge still owns.
* RaceAgainstTheClock: Scrooge must repay the rest of the money he owes Glomgold for the island and its diamond mine after the initial downpayment within three days, or else Glomgold will have full possession of it again. Notably, he ultimately fails in the end, but fate still intervenes and rewards him (see Laser-Guided Karma above).

* SpontaneousChoreography: When Huey, Dewey, and Louie bring Bubba with them to school, it results in the entire classroom bursting into a musical number. However all the commotion causes the principal to burst in which leads to all the students getting detention and Bubba getting kicked out.

* WhenTheClockStrikesTwelve: Scrooge must pay the last installment before Friday noon or he won't keep the island he bought from Glomgold.

* SneezeOfDoom: When the gang hide behind mushrooms from the large creature, it is revealed that Launchpad is allergic to mushrooms. Fortunately, the boys stop him from sneezing and blowing their cover. Unfortunately, Scrooge sneezes instead.

* AndImTheQueenOfSheba: One of the people who refuse to believe Scrooge isn't an imposter sarcastically claims to be Donald Duck.

* TyrannosaurusRex: One attacks Bubba and later the gang in the prehistoric age.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In the final part, Scrooge at one point yells at Glomgold and the Beagle Boys. Bouncer Beagle tells Scrooge to keep it clean because [[NotInFrontOfTheKid there are children present]].

* NecktieLeash: A non-romantic example; Scrooge grabs Launchpad's scarf and uses it to drag him into the house when he's trying to talk him into watching Bubba.

* WhaleEgg: One of the gifts Bubba tries to give Scrooge when they first meet is a giant egg.
-->'''Launchpad:''' I bet he left behind one tired chicken.
