4* "Scrooge's Quest":
5** Launchpad and Scrooge pull a YouShallNotPass moment on EvilSorcerer Laird.
6** Scrooge returns to find that Glomgold has taken over Duckburg in his absence. However, after a brief HeroicBSOD and [[CatchYourDeathOfCold a bout of illness from the elements]], he launches a perfectly executed ParanoiaGambit on Glomgold that keeps his enemy utterly wound up and ultimately helps him get everything back to normal.
7* "Rightful Owners": Things go wrong during Scrooge's attempt to show the kids his "life and times", leaving Webby and Scrooge trapped between a unicorn and a dinosaur on the loose. Scrooge tells Webby to stay behind him, but she tells him she has an idea. With a single hand gesture, she commands Launchpad to [[BuzzingTheDeck dive at the animals]] to scare them, which he pulls off, [[BellyScrapingFlight just barely scraping the ground]].
8* In "Sky-High Hijinks", the Beagle Boys shoot a hang glider out from over Scrooge and Launchpad's heads while they're trying to reach the stolen hotel room where the Beagles are holed up. Launchpad breezily tells Scrooge to keep calm and hooks one of the struts with the "anchor", and finishes by attributing his survival in multiple crash landings to this kind of cool-headedness. It isn't a big moment, but it's a neat one.

11* The Moon level in the [[LicensedGame video game]] is pure awesomeness. Here's why, courtesy of Music/{{Brentalfloss}}:
12-->Wait Uncle Scrooge, you need a suit out there
13-->[[RefugeInAudacity How are you alive?]]
14-->[[SpaceIsCold You need heat,]] [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace also air.]]
15-->That's gotta be one expensive cane...
16-->[[RuleOfFun You are up on the moon,]] [[FictionFiveHundred looking for treasure;]] [[LargeHam YOU'VE GONE INSANE.]]
17** Not to mention barely five minutes after he steps foot on the moon, he starts picking fights with a technologically advanced batch of aliens...and winning single-handedly.
18* For the remastered version, they got [[RoleReprise pretty much the entire original cast]], including TV legend Creator/AlanYoung (who at the time was '''94''') to reprise their roles for the game. And all the returning actors sound nearly indistinguishable from twenty years before.
19** Creator/AlanYoung alone gets one for reprising his role as Scrooge and giving it his all despite his very old age.
20** Ditto for Creator/JuneForay (Magica [=DeSpell=]), who was '''95''' at the time.
