Blinky's Gang
Tropes applying to Blinky's Gang as a whole:
- Alliterative Name: Blinky Bill and Marcia (Marsupial) Mouse.
- Deadpan Snarker: ALL of them can be this, with Blinky and Marcia being the worst offenders.
- Vague Age: The members of the gang are implied to be aged anywhere from 7 to 11, although according to a PC game, while they act like the aforementioned age range, they are actually aged around 5 to 6.
Blinky Bill:
Voiced by: Robyn Moore
- Cool Big Bro: He becomes this towards Nutsy at the end of the episode "Blinky Bill's Wedding Picnic" when Blinky's mother marries Nutsy's father.
- Catchphrase: "Extraordinary!"
- He has an additional one in the third season: “Careful is my middle name."
- His doppelgänger, Algenon Arkwright, has "Incredible!"
- Disappeared Dad: It's implied that Blinky's father died of an unspecified illness.
- Embarrassing Middle Name: Doubling down on the alliteration, his full name is Blinky Bartholomew Bill.
- Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: He's the Foolish Sibling to Nutsy's Responsible Sibling.
- Guile Hero: He has a knack for outsmarting his enemies to save the day, whether it be Danny Dingo (before his Heel–Face Turn) or the Circus Bros.
- Humans Are Bastards: He has this attitude towards them for most of Season 3 thanks to the Circus Bros. abusing their animals. He gradually grows out of this mindset by the finale, however.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Blinky is mischievous, cocky, and even bratty at his worst, but cares deeply for his friends, family, and neighbors in Greenpatch and is usually the first to take initiative to solve problems or act in defense of any innocent animals in trouble.
- Kick the Dog: He actually gets more than one of these in "Blinky Bill's Wedding Picnic". After Marcia bites Shifty, Blinky tricks her into thinking she gave him blood poisoning and later, when Marcia believes that she actually has caused those things to happen to Shifty, Blinky rubs it in by saying that Danny will come after her for it.
- Kids Driving Cars: In the pilot film, he can be seen driving Harry and Joe's truck after successfully rescuing his mother and Nutsy.
- Ungrateful Bastard: In "Blinky Bill and the Balloon", Miss Magpie and a cockatoo rescue Blinky and the gang from a balloon hanging over a cliff, resulting in even Marcia giving their teacher a hug. Blinky, however, teases her about her missing tail feathers, which she had plucked out herself so the rest of the town could follow her.
- Not Blood Siblings: As of "Blinky Bill's Wedding Picnic", Blinky and Nutsy are stepbrother and stepsister, leaving the floodgates open for
shipping.
Nutsy Koala:
Voiced by: Robyn Moore
- Break the Cutie: The Mother's Day episode, her birthday episode (where she believes they've forgotten), and the lost puppy episode.
- Character Development: She becomes much more mature in Season 3 than she was in the previous seasons.
- Disappeared Dad: He went missing at some point, but they're thankfully reunited in the penultimate episode of Season 1.
- The Drag-Along: The third season has her joining Blinky and Flap just so she can keep an eye on them and set them straight if they were to ever screw up.
- Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: She is the Responsible Sibling to Blinky's Foolish Sibling.
- Missing Mom: Her mother is never seen. In "Blinky Bill's Mothers Day", it is revealed that Nutsy's mother died when the humans destroyed their town.
- Nice Girl: While occasionally a dour situation would put her in a bad enough mood to hold a rare Jerkass Ball and sometimes she's not above allowing herself a laugh at Blinky's mischief, Nutsy is otherwise the most consistently kind, empathetic, and polite member of Blinky's gang.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: She's the blue to both Blinky and Marcia’s red.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: In the episode "Leo Leads the Way", Penelope gives her a makeover after she accidentally falls into some elephant dung, making her look more like a princess. The others compliment her good looks, while Blinky is quick to make fun of her (likely due to her wearing makeup).
- Team Mom: She's the most kind and caring member of Blinky's gang.

Marcia (Marsupial) Mouse:
Voiced by: Robyn Moore
- Bratty Half-Pint: Mostly in the first two seasons. She gets better during Season 3, however.
- Compressed Vice: The second season finale has her gain a fear of heights. Of course, given her behavior throughout the season, she had the humiliation coming.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's hotheaded and tends to be abrasive towards her friends at times (mostly Flap and Splodge), but in the end, she's genuinely loyal to Blinky and his gang.
- Little Miss Snarker: Absolutely, she's the snarkiest character in a show that's already set in a World of Snark.
- My God, What Have I Done?: She has this when she believes she's poisoned Shifty after biting his leg in "Blinky Bill's Wedding Picnic".
- Pet the Dog: She had her moments, one of the most notable being when she softened up after she was placed in charge of a baby mouse, and ended up freaking out when the baby crawled off.

- Red Oni, Blue Oni: She's the red to Nutsy's blue.

When this backfires and she is sent to her room, she runs away. Apart from Nutsy and Blinky, no one even notices she's missing until the end.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: She has a big Kick the Dog moment when she bites Shifty in "Blinky Bill's Wedding Picnic".
- Took a Level in Kindness: Or moreso "lost a level in jerkass" in season 3, where she is noticeably less abrasive towards her friends than she was in the previous seasons, especially Shifty.
- Vitriolic Best Friends: With Flap. She's often annoyed by him, but will still defend him if need be.
- Your Size May Vary: In the intro, she appears a head shorter than Flap. In the series itself, she can barely peek over Splodge's head while on his shoulders.
The Dingo Family
Tropes applying to the Dingo Family as a whole:
- Alliterative Name: Played straight with Danny and Daisy, and averted with Meatball, Shifty and Ma.
- Band of Relatives: They're a Type 2, as shown in "How Green is My Greenpatch"
◊, with Daisy on lead vocals, Danny on bass, Shifty on guitar and Meatball on drums. - Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Like many original characters from the 90s show, none of them appear in the rebooted CGI series.

Danny Dingo:
Voiced by: Keith Scott
- Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: He wears sunglasses and nothing else. According to Danny in this quote from "Blinky Saves Granny's Glasses"...Daisy: Danny, why don't you buy me some new clothes?Danny: Because anything more than sunglasses is overdressed.
- Big Bad: He could count as this for season 1, but this notion is downplayed to a considerable amount, as while he does try to scam the townspeople on multiple occasions, he's not necessarily evil, and genuinely cares about them at times.
- Kick the Dog: In "Blinky Bill and 'Club Pet'", he almost got the Greenpatchers fed to a gang of feral cats (probably in an attempt to gain power among the survivors). If he wasn't so easily forgiven (or if someone was actually eaten), this could've been considered his Moral Event Horizon.
- Pet the Dog: In "Blinky and the Red Car", when he managed to buy Mr. Possum's car before Blinky could, he took pity on Blinky and gave him his skateboard.
- Sunglasses at Night: He's almost never seen without his sunglasses on, although we do see his actual eyes frequently.
- Those Two Guys: Rarely did his schemes during season 1 not involve Meatball doing the heavy lifting.

- Ass Kicks You: In "Blinky Bill's Fund Run" while Blinky and the gang are at Mr. Gloop's cafe, the Dingos all forcefully take seats at Blinky's table, Daisy does his to Marcia.
- Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Daisy is very feminine and fashionable, usually seen doing her nails (claws?), and has dreams of becoming an actress/singer. Despite this, she puts in quite the effort during the charity race in "Blinky Bill's Fund Run", even though she ends up careening down a hill and crashing into other runners thanks to her waistband getting caught on a tree branch, flinging her backwards.
- Hartman Hips: She has a notably plump rear end, something that the animation studio (being Geoff Beak Productions) probably knew while animating this scene from "Blinky Bill's Treasure Hunt"◊.
- Head-and-Hip Pose: She does one in "Blinky And The Film Star"◊, when flirting with Blinky, Flap and Splodge.
- Head-Turning Beauty: And how! In particular, Flap, Splodge and later Blinky develop crushes on her during "Blinky and the Film Star", however, they snap out of it when Nutsy and Marcia tell them that she's part of Danny's plan to rob the bank.
- Hidden Depths: "Blinky and the Film Star" in particular has her showing off her acting prowess, resulting in a stunning Mae West impersonation. She's also seen to be the lead singer of a band with her brothers in "How Green is My Greenpatch".
- High-Heel–Face Turn: She's considered by fans to be the first of the Dingo family to redeem themselves.
- Ms. Fanservice: ABSOLUTELY.

- Nice Guy: Even during his time as a semi-antagonist during most of Season 1, he's still very kind-hearted.
- Precious Puppy: For all the flack he gets, you'd wanna give him a hug.

- Put on a Bus: Inverted in season 3 - Splodge, Marcia and Shifty stay behind while Blinky, Nutsy and Flap travel the world.
