* NoOntologicalInertia: In "Pups Save their Floating Friends", the mother-son alien duo returns for a quick visit to watch ''Apollo the Super Pup''. Unbeknownst to them, their spaceship's anti-gravity beam cannon breaks, causing it to continuously fire beams that make anything or anyone they touch float helplessly in mid-air, with a handful of Adventure Bay citizens and animals, including Ryder and Chase, getting hit in the crossfire. Rocky repairs it by covering it with a trash can lid, which instantly brings everyone literally back down to earth.\\
In one of the rare instances of MoodWhiplash in the show, Ryder didn't actually expect the effect of the anti-gravity beam to wear off ''[[GravityIsAHarshMistress that quickly]]'', and would have been seriously injured if not for Skye saving him at the last second.

* GuestStarPartyMember: Tuck and Ella, since they don't have assigned roles and gear for regular rescues, and they also do not have a designated vehicle number. Since the twins denied the offer to stay in Adventure Bay to become full-fledged Ladybird catchers, it's unlikely they will ever be [[SixthRanger official members]] of the PAW Patrol. However, there is no question that they are officially members of the Mighty Pups. The question now is whether the Mighty Pups as a team can still be called the PAW Patrol, the ambiguity being exacerbated further by the show trying to meld continuities with ''The Mighty Movie'''s version of the superhero team.

However, there is no question that they are officially members of the Mighty Pups. At first, the twins prioritized catching the Ladybird over joining the pups in Adventure Bay, but catching the superpowered thief has since stopped being their raison d'etre. They have now occasionally helped out in other missions, with "All Paws on Deck" showing the twins in their Mighty Pups guises helping out the regular non-superpowered PAW Patrol. The question now is whether the Mighty Pups as a team can still be called the PAW Patrol, the ambiguity being exacerbated further by the show trying to meld continuities with ''The Mighty Movie'''s version of the superhero team.

We're reaching levels of canon ambiguity that should only be in video game franchises.


* GravityIsAHarshMistress: In "Sea Patrol: Pups Save Tilly Turbot", Marshall slips ([[RunningGag again]]) and slides across the water of the beach, [[WalkOnWater sitting on the surface for about half a second]] before sinking. Noteworthy in that it's the first time the show really uses ToonPhysics, Marshall's improbable crashes into the elevator not withstanding.
* GuestStarPartyMember: Ultimately, with the "Mighty Pups: Super Paws/Charged Up" subseries officially over, Tuck and Ella. They have yet to appear in an episode outside of the subseries, meaning they don't have assigned roles and gear for regular rescues. They also do not have a designated vehicle number, which would have been directly after No. 17, the Mighty Jet, but the Mobile Pitstop Vehicle took No. 18 instead. Since the twins denied the offer to stay in Adventure Bay to become full-fledged Ladybird catchers, it's unlikely they will ever be [[SixthRanger official members]] of the PAW Patrol.

* {{Retcon}}: Ever since the franchise's second film, "The Mighty Movie" came out, current episodes involving "The Mighty Pups" segment have been rewritten to connect ties with the film (such as the pups keeping the powers from the movie, the uniforms and vehicles and Liberty now being a part of the Mighty Pups crew) although some elements tie in with the previous "Mighty Pups" segments (such as the Mighty Pup Tower's design being previously used).
