2	When disaster befalls James Baxter, it’s up to Finn and Jake to help him pick up the pieces.
3	----
4	!!Tropes:
5	* ActingUnnatural: Shelby tells Finn not to try and impress James Baxter and just be himself, but Finn is too nervous and gets all awkward instead.
6	* AnimationBump: Again, James Baxter moves more fluidly than the other characters, but only when he's happy.
7	* TheBusCameBack: James Baxter.
8	* DancingWithMyself: At the end of the episode, James Baxter rejects a new beach ball in favor of dancing into the sunset. Finn believes he's doing it for his own enjoyment.
9	* HeroicBSOD: After losing his ball, James Baxter goes into a deep depression and is unable to do anything.
10	* HiddenDepths: James Baxter rides around on a beach ball saying his name for the ''exact reason'' that it makes other people happy. He abandoned [[CivilizedAnimal an urban society]] of [[FullyDressedCartoonAnimal horses]], even tossing away a [[BindleStick bindle full of money]] to drive home that he was leaving behind whatever life he lived before. He devoted himself to his beach ball routine so much that he becomes near-catatonic when it pops, and he seemingly never did anything to make ''himself'' happy.
11	* LineOfSightName: The in-universe reason why James Baxter says his name is because when he started his routine to cheer up a bat, he saw items labeled "games" and "bookstore".
12	* SequelEpisode: To "James Baxter The Horse".
13	* SpeechImpairedAnimal: James Baxter is actually saying "games bookstore" due to reading those words when developing his routine.
14	* TrashOfTheTitans: Raggedy Princess' kingdom is a monumental landfill, which she boasts you can find anything in if you poke around long enough.
