9	----
10	!! This film provides examples of:
11
12	* TheCameo: Franchise/{{Popeye}} makes a cameo in toy form, as well as the Franchise/{{Zoids}} when they get to Japan. Tomy's tabletop ''Film/{{Tron}}'' game makes a cameo as well.
13	* DeadpanSnarker: Zoom throughout their trip, though later thanks Peepers for dragging him along.
14	* HolyPipeOrgan: When Peepers realizes that [[ThankTheMaker Kenji is his designer]], Kenji is briefly enveloped by a HolyBacklight as a church organ plays a rolling chord.
15	* ImagineSpot: Zoom imagines a Zoid wearing ''a lobster bib with Zoom's picture on it.''
16	* ItRunsOnNonsensoleum: By mentally retracing their steps, Peepers and Zoom are somehow able to rewind time.
17	* LivingToys: Falls under the Toy Masquerade type on the SlidingScaleOfLivingToys.
18	* OldDarkHouse: The toys first stop is a toy museum to go ask the older toys for advice. It's night out and the place is downright creepy, not helped by the music that plays either.
19	* ProductPlacement: For a lot of different toys, but Tomy toys mostly.
20	* ProductPromotionParade: The film tends to delve into a montage of toys doing toy things more than a few times. It's mostly to just show off toys with some music behind them. No names are dropped however so it's more of an artistic example.
21	* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Peepers is the sensible albeit slightly nervous one, while Zoom is the DeadpanSnarker who gets roped into the adventure.
22	* ThankTheMaker: When Peepers confirms that Kenji designed them, Zoom looks up at the human as a HolyBacklight envelops him and a HolyPipeOrgan plays behind him.
23	* WingdingEyes: Peepers and Zoom, but [[RuleOfFunny it's funnier when it happens to the one-eyed Zoom.]]
