3	!! Tropes:
4
5	* TheEighties: Danny and his friends go to a convention about cartoons from that decade.
6	* AbhorrentAdmirer: Queen Leona quickly becomes this to Danny because of her desire to conquer the world, trying to harm Star, and threatening his loved ones to force him to marry her.
7	* AccidentalTruth:
8	** Vivian points out that Dani could be mistaken for Danny's twin if it weren't for her height.
9	** After seeing Danielle in her ghost form for the first time, Jack and Maddie believe she is Danny Phantom's little sister.
10	* AllAmazonsWantHercules: Queen Leona wants to make Danny her consort because she's impressed with his strength and tales of defeating Undergrowth.
11	* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Danielle's attempts to make money ended up being pointless when Danny, unaware of what she was doing, reveals that they have safety money for her in case she goes overboard with spending for food. This leaves her so upset that she decides to spend money on food to feel better.]]
12	* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: Queen Leona wants Danny to be her husband, even if she must threaten Team Phantom to do so.
13	* AnimalJingoism: Upon witnessing the fight between Wulf and a ghost monkey named Hou, Misty's spell book says, "the old stereotype of dogs and monkeys lives on". Misty asks if the book meant [[CatDogDichotomy dogs and cats]] but the book explains it's different in some parts of Asia.
14	* AntiVillain: The Fear Felines have a strong sense of honor and agree to leave Team Phantom alone after being beaten by them.
15	* ArbitrarySkepticism: Defied. When Danny says she won't believe what happened at the convention, Dani points out he hunts ghosts and she's his clone, so she doubts it could be crazier than stuff they experience. Dani takes it back after Danny tells her what happened.
16	* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Queen Leona rules the Fear Felines and is a skilled fighter.
17	* AttemptedHomewrecker: Queen Leona of the Fear Felines doesn’t care if Danny is already dating Star because she wants someone strong like him to be her mate, and she’s willing to threaten Team Phantom to make him hers. Subverted after she loses and forms an alliance with Team Phantom.
18	* BigEater: Danelle is as usual with a massive appetite, though it lands her in trouble when it's part of the reason she ends up broke. Even before she spent all of the money that Danny gave her, she spent what funds she had prior on fast food and Italian cuisine.

23	* CorruptedCharacterCopy:
24	** Man-Lord is an expy of [[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse He-Man]], as evidenced by his use of phrases like "Fabulous secrets were revealed to me and thanks to them, I have the power!" and [[ByThePowerOfGrayskull "By the might of the Grey Spine!"]]. He becomes scrawny when his sword is destroyed. But whereas He-Man is genuinely heroic, Man-Lord picks a fight with Danny to test his strength and is reduced to a coward as he powers down.
25	** MECH is a stand-in for ''WesternAnimation/{{MASK}}'', only for them to behave more like Venom, the villains of that series.
