* NotCompletelyUseless: The Dream Checking Machine (a mechanical arm on wheels) is mostly portrayed as a useless gadget used for gags and laughs, and have not been featured in any previous adventures (save for ''Anime/DoraemonTheRecordOfNobitaSpaceblazer'' as a cheap joke when Nobita questions if he's dreaming - cue Doraemon using said gadget to pinch Nobita's cheeks in a comical way).

* AdaptationExpansion: The story itself is an adaptation of a short from the manga itself, where news of hidden pirate treasure discovered in the Atlantic inspires Nobita to convince Doraemon to bring him on an epic journey while draggin Suneo and Gian along to portray pirates. In fact, the anime movie straight-up lifts StockFootage from the manga episode in a handful of scenes!

* MixAndMatchCritters: Most of Dr. Clone's creations are hybrids made by fusing living, captured animals, and modified to become savage beasts, including a giant tiger with an elephant's head, giant frog-fish fusions, flying spider-bugs, and the like. He's in fact planning to [[spoiler: forcefully fuse Ruffin together with a GiantCrab if not for Nobita and Jack's intervention]].

--> '''Literally Everyone Else''': Why ''didn't'' you tell us earlier?
* SeaMonster: Most of the abominations created by Dr. Clone, funded by Cash to be sold to the black market. With the Leviathan as the largest and most powerful of them all.
* ShoutOut: After being denied an adventure (initially), Nobita then asks for Doraemon to use one of his virtual reality gadgets to make an adventure of his own.
