* AssumingTheAudiencesAge: The voice of the "viewer" will always be childish, as it is the focus audience of the series.

* NoNameGiven: Because the character is intended to be an insertion of the children watching, they are typically referred to as "You", "Friend(s)" or "Kids" instead of a name.

* ThankingTheViewer: The viewer is in fact the most important character in the series, and is universally appreciated for helping our friends in the universe, to the point of being considered a member of the house and a close friend of the protagonists, which is why every episode, special and film ends with the host thanking the viewer for all their help and wishing them to come back soon.

The characters from WesternAnimation/BluesClues, the spin off series Series/BluesRoom, the series reboot WesternAnimation/BluesCluesAndYou and the movie Film/BluesBigCityAdventure.

Tropes shared by the Skidoo World's Inhabitants
----
* AllMythsAreTrue: This especially applies to Storybook Forest and the Fairy Tale Land, but as any written and illustrated book can become a skidoo world, you can find literally any character that you can imagine.
* AnimateInanimateObject: Literally anything can be alive in any universe, from raindrops to the literal planets of the solar system, Even animals can be animated objects like the Banjo Bunny Band which are talking rabbits but also stuffed animals.
* ArtInitiatesLife: Literally anyone can create a Skidoo World like Joe and Periwinkle did by accident, and even if it was created recently, there will already be entire cultures the second you skidoo on there.
* LivingDrawing: Many of them are sentient illustrated book characters.
* {{Toontown}}: Each town in these worlds technically counts as this, but Silly Town in particular, as characters from different skidoo worlds can be found coexisting there.
* NoFocusOnHumans: Many of the cities in skidoo worlds will be inhabited exclusively by cartoons, with humans being quite rare. The exceptions are the Storybook World neighborhood and Steve's college, where humans other than the three hosts can be found.

Several of the characters are characters from story books, toys, films, cartoons or simply [[LivingDrawing talking drawings]] and recognized as such, without questions, even the protagonists of the series are characters from a literal storybook and accept it without any problems.

!!New York

* AmbiguousSituation: It's not entirely clear if New York City should be the location of the "Big City" skidoo world, which is Periwinkle's old neighborhood, since Josh mentions that Rainbow Puppy lives in the big city world, while Rainbow Puppy states that she was from New York. It is worth to mention that in the times when Josh was in New York City no skidoo portal could be seen other than the Billboard that Tourbus and Skidoo Express use to move from Storybook World to New York, but in the big city several skidoo portals of different types can be observed.
* CityMouse: To Josh and Blue CountryMouse. Josh has no idea how the big city works, they are there to guide him.
* RealWorldEpisode: {{Implied|Trope}}. There are several implications that our protagonists are sentient fictional characters within the universe, with many characters openly knowing who they are, even if Josh doesn't recognize them.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: No one seems particularly impressed by Josh's magic or talking objects, although they are occasionally impressed by Blue, everyone seems more focused on [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Josh's]] peculiar behavior rather than the magic he brings to the world. This is {{Handwaved}} in "Rock on! Rainbow Puppy", where it is revealed that magic is relatively common in this version of New York City, even having a completely animated part of the city, meaning to them Josh's behavior was really the weirdest thing about the situation.
* WelcomeToTheBigCity: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Although he didn't actually encounter anyone rude, or criminal behavior, Josh as a FishOutOfWater, with anxiety issues and accompanied only by his Puppy, his experience in New York City wasn't as pleasant as you'd expect from a franchise like Blue's Clues.

!! Rainbow Puppy
[[quoteright:500:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1702302934489.png]]
[[caption-width-right:500: Rainbow Puppy]]
->'''Voice:''' Brianna Bryan
A puppy who lives in New York City, where Periwinkle moved from. Unlike Blue and Magenta, she is bipedal and able to speak normally. Only appears in the reboot.

* AllLovingHeroine: She is kind and well-intentioned, being quite friendly to everyone, especially her fans, taking time to please them even when she is obviously unhappy.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: {{Zigzagged}} with Blue. Although she is recognized as being more talented than Blue when it comes to skidoo, she lacks some of Blue's smart puppy tendencies, making it very difficult for her when she needs to use logic.
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Taken to the extreme, as she's rainbow-colored.
* AscendedExtra: Was initially a one-off in "Our New Neighbor" as the friend Periwinkle misses, but was apparently popular enough to become a recurring character.
* BeautifulSingingVoice: She loves to sing and is known for having a great singing voice.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Professional Example. She shares many characteristics with Josh, like their attention difficulties, peculiar mannerisms and love for music, which is partially why she wants Josh to be the one who is the star of her show, as they are similar in their ways of express. This causes her to enter a short HeroicBsod in the movie when [[spoiler: Josh is unable to make it to the test on time as she sees this as a sign that her dream was probably not meant to happen]].
* BunnyEarsLawyer: She is quite dramatic, moves around bouncing, has attention problems and is a little self-centered, but she is also an incredible singer and actress, and even better when it comes to skidoo.
* CartoonCreature: Like Blue and Magenta, she's an ambiguous breed of dog, though notably has smaller ears than the two of them.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She comes off as this when interacting with the director of her musical in the movie. Trying to convince him that Josh is better suited as a protagonist than the others because he had "dreams and a heart", which unsurprisingly isn't very convincing.
* ColorCharacter: Taken even further than the other animal characters, as she's ''Rainbow'' Puppy.
* ColorMotif: {{Downplayed}}. She [[RainbowMotif represents the entire rainbow]] and her name is [[MeaningfulName Rainbow Puppy]], but the individual color associated with her is yellow/gold, [[GoldMakesEverythingShiny which is also the color associated with skidoo portals]].
* TheDitz: Not as much as Josh, but she still has a hard time keeping her train of thought going when she's not the one in charge.
* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: She has RainbowMotif and her skidoo skill seems to be above average.
* FemaleFelineMaleMutt: {{Inverted|Trope}}, Rainbow Puppy is a girl while her male best friend is Periwinkle the cat.
* FlatEarthAtheist: Strangely, although she is surrounded by magic and recognizes it, she does not believe in lucky charms, even though she believes in luck.
* FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter: Rainbow Puppy is so far the only bipedal puppy shown in the series, besides the puppies from Blue's Room and from Big City.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: She is a famous singer in the real world, apparently evolved the abilities that other puppies have and has her own dimension among all skidoo worlds, but that side of her is never explained or explored.
* HiddenDepths: "The Blue Big Derby" reveals that she has an interest in mechanics and she even helps Josh to fix Slippery's car.
* InexplicablyAwesome: Even more than Blue, since her skidoo skills can be used more times in a shorter period of time, being able to use them even in other skidoo worlds and create multiple portals at same time. Josh even seems to question how she is able to do this.
* IntellectualAnimal: As her name suggests, Rainbow Puppy is a puppy who is talented in multiple areas such as music, acting and even mechanics.
* InterclassFriendship: ImpliedTrope. It's barely visible because they live in a SugarBowl World, but she seems to be financially better off than most of the other characters as she is an InUniverse famous singer who seems to influence New York culture and has enough money to finance her own theater in the neighborhood.
* LightIsGood: She is the personification of the rainbow in the form of a dog and her Puppy magic is more luminous and colorful than Blue's, she is also an AllLovingHeroine that seems to influence the culture of her city in a positive way.
* LovableAlphaBitch: She's a rich, famous, and influential singer, but she's a lovely friend to our protagonists and Periwinkle.
* MagicIdolSinger: She is a magical puppy who can travel in space between skidoo worlds, and with magical abilities even more impressive than Blue's, who is also a famous singer and actress in the universe.
* RainbowMotif: The literal Rainbow Puppy.
* SkipOfInnocence: Her walking animation has her hopping happily with her arms behind her back, to highlight her childlike and cheerful nature.
* SpoiledSweet: Although she is a bit off-earth, she is kind-hearted and uses her wealth to fulfill her dreams and spread joy.
* TalkingAnimal: Notably the only puppy character (outside of ''Blue's Room'') able to speak; the others can only bark.
* UnseenNoMore: The first mention of her in the series was in "[[Recap/BluesCluesAndYouS1E2HappyBirthdayBlue Happy Birthday, Blue]]", the second episode of the reboot in chronological order, where a stuffie themed after her is seen in the Present Store that Josh encourages the viewer to choose as a birthday present for Blue, three seasons later she made her official debut in "Our New Neighbor" as Periwinkle’s best friend from his old neighborhood.
* UpperClassTwit: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. She is implied to be rich and although Rainbow Puppy isn't stupid and is good at many things, solving mysteries isn't one of them. While Blue seems to be one step ahead when you find her in difficult situations, Rainbow Puppy will be just as confused as Josh when she finds herself in a situation where she has to use logic.
* VagueAge: Although she is called a "puppy", she has an adult voice, does not go to school, manages her own money, can travel alone, use tools, among other "grown up" things implying that she is older than the other puppies.

[[caption-width-right:500:Director]]
-> '''Played By:''' Creator/BDWong
The director of the Rainbow Puppy musical, who doesn't warm up to Josh as quickly as she does.

* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: He's the person who's there to point out the flaws in Rainbow Puppy's way of evaluating people, even though he's nice about it.
* EnergeticAndSoftSpokenDuo: When they are alone he is Soft Spoken to Rainbow Puppy’s energetic, but during the auditions the dynamic reverses, as Rainbow Puppy is too worried about Josh to maintain her usual electric demeanor.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Although he clearly doesn't see the point in Rainbow Puppy's fixation on having only Josh as the protagonist, he still comforts her in the moments when she seems to be close to giving up.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Very {{Downplayed|Trope}}, he is 5'5''/1'65 cm, which might be considered short for a man, but he looks gigantic next to Rainbow Puppy, who is, well, the size of a dog.
* InterspeciesFriendship: An ordinary human being, friends with a magical colorful puppy.
* LittleGuyBigBuddy: The big buddy for Rainbow Puppy Little Guy. He's bigger, more serious, has a sharp head and generally acts as the voice of reason to his small and naive colleague.
* MuggleBestFriend: He is a good friend with [[MagicIdolSinger Rainbow Puppy]], despite having no connection with the magical part of the series.
* NoNameGiven: His name is never revealed, and he is referred to only as "Director" in the credits.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Although he is more serious than Rainbow Puppy, he is still seen dancing happily when he sees Josh performing,
* OddFriendship: With Rainbow Puppy, he is an ordinary, quite professional and relatively serious human, friends with a magical talking puppy, who is a bit dramatic and tends to act with her heart rather than logic.
* OlderSidekick: The Director and second guy in command of Rainbow Puppy, who is presumably older than her.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue oni to Rainbow Puppy's red oni, being quite professional and logical, contrasting with her emotional and idealistic nature.
* TheShowMustGoOn: Try to convince Rainbow Puppy to continue the show even though her plans seem to be going wrong, as it was always her dream to do a broadway musical. When he finally sees Josh performing on the screen, he finally succeeds, telling her just by the performance that she has indeed already found her star.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The StraightMan to Rainbow Puppy's Wise Guy. He's down to earth, much more direct than Rainbow Puppy about auditions, a little cynical but still very nice.
* TechnicianPerformerTeamUp: He is the technician for Rainbow Puppy Performer. He is more aware of how things work behind the scenes, while she, although famous and talented, lacks critical thinking and lets her emotions control her musical management.

[[quoteright:500:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20231230_000556.png]]
[[caption-width-right:500: Mr. Taxi Driver]]
-> '''Actor:''' Creator/AlexWinter
A friendly New York City taxi driver who has apparently met Steve and Joe before, although he doesn't remember where.

* BirdsOfAFeather: He and Steve seem to have a lot in common. From their worldviews to their love for Rock, which is probably a running gag with his actor "Alex Winter" playing Steve in the WesternAnimation/RobotChicken parody of Blue Clues.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: For a moment he is that to Josh, though in a kinder way than usual. He explains that one of Josh's problems is how he is so rushed that he seems to ignore minor details, which Josh seems to understand later in the film.
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: He apparently recognizes Steve and Joe from somewhere, but he doesn't seem to remember where and neither do they.
* LetMeGetThisStraight: His reaction to Josh telling him he needs to get to the theater but doesn't know how to get there.
-->'''Driver''': Well, alright, sometimes you just need to have a little patience.
* NiceGuy: Even though he looks a little confused he's nothing but friendly with a lost Josh, offering him advice and wishing him good luck before he left.
* NoNameGiven: Just referred to as the Taxi Driver or Cab Driver.
* ScaryMusicianHarmlessMusic: A [[ZigZaggingTrope zigzagged]] [[InvertedTrope inversion]]. He's apparently a pretty average dude, but he sings one of the most aggressive songs in the film, until you hear the lyrics that are just the opening of ''WesternAnimation/BluesCluesAndYou'' [[SurprisinglyGentleSong in a rock rhythm]].
* SurprisinglyGentleSong: He sings the rock version of the opening of ''Blue's Clues & You'', which although it seems rougher than usual is still the same friendly song about a boy playing with his dog.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's only on screen for a few minutes, but his advice is part of what helps pull Josh out of his HeroicBsod during the last few moments of the movie.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: While other human characters seem confused, excited, or at least recognizing Blue in some way, he doesn't show any reaction when he sees the blue puppy getting into his car. He doesn't even assume that she and Josh come from Storybook World before Josh himself mentions it.

[[caption-width-right:500: NYC Mr. Salt and Mrs Pepper]]
-> '''Voiced By''': Steve Burns (Coffee Cup), Lisa Norton (NYC Mailbox), Creator/CoryDoran (Trashcan and Trees) Breeze Dango (Ms. Mustard)
Some objects Josh accidentally brought to life on his visit to New York City. There are several, but the three most prominent are NYC Mailbox, Mr. Trashcan and a Cup of Coffee.
----
* AnimateInanimateObject: They are all objects that Josh accidentally brought to life. The list starts with a mailbox, a bottle of mustard, a trash can, a coffee cup, a salt and pepper shaker, some singing flowers, and dancing trees.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The Trashcan, the coffee cup and the NYC Mailbox become eternally loyal to Josh after he accidentally brings them to life by being nice to them. Following him all over New York City for the sole purpose of thanking him for it.
* EdibleThemeNaming: Miss Mustard and the Coffee Cup naturally.
* MistakenIdentity: The salt and pepper shakers that Josh momentarily believes are Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper. Funny enough immediately after Josh realizes they aren't his friends they become NYC versions of them.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: While Josh is treated as crazy for interacting with inanimate objects before they come to life, the sentient objects themselves don't seem to draw much attention as they walk freely around the city. This is justified in "Rock On! Rainbow Puppy" which confirms that Rainbow Puppy originates from New York City, and that the city has at least [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything one entire animated neighborhood similar to Storybook World, with non-human citizens]], making this version of New York City at least partially magical before Josh even sets foot there. Which means that citizens are already at least a little used to this type of situation.
* WiseTree: The two trees that guide Josh to the last clue and remind him and Blue that they have little time.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: While the main three are shown fairly frequently throughout the film and Ms Mustard is shown with her owner in the scene where Steve and Joe discuss, the salt and pepper shakers are never shown again nor are recognized as existing by any of the characters.

-> '''Played by:''' Lana Carillo
The sentient bus that Rainbow Puppy uses to move between places when she can't skidoo or to move her friends with speed.
----
* AnimateInanimateObject: A talking bus.
* AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: She has two stars above her eyes that are made to simulate CoolShades.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: {{Handwaved}}. She is the bus that Rainbow Puppy uses for her tours around the world and is therefore themed after Rainbow Puppy herself, having a rainbow theme, musical notes and stars.
* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: Rainbow Puppy's personal tour bus, which can talk and skidoo to other places, her design is also amazing which makes her stand out from the rest of the environment.
* CosmicMotifs: Stars. She's decorated with stars and even has a pair of star-shaped CoolShades, she also carries young stars, like Josh, around.
* ADogNamedDog: A tour bus named Tour Bus.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: She is covered in glitter which makes her sparkle and has an aura of sparkling skidoos when she does her job and is a magic bus
* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: She is Rainbow Puppy's personal bus, and is therefore themed around rainbows.
* InexplicablyAwesome: Like Jingles and the Skidoo Express, she can skidoo.
* InterspeciesFriendship: She is good friends with Rainbow Puppy, Blue (puppies/dogs), and Miranda and Josh (humans), and she's a talking bus.
* FlyingCar: Like Skidoo Express, when she skidoo she can fly.
* FurryReminder: Well, animate object reminder. She appears to be alive and do things that ordinary cars/buses cannot do, but if she tries too hard her mechanisms may malfunction, as seen in "Hola Mexico City!"
* GentleGiant: She's a bus, so big she makes Josh and Miranda look tiny, and she's superfriendly and cooperative.
* {{Keet}}: She is so cheerful that she can occasionally burn out her engine with the force of her joy. Surprisingly this doesn't hurt her, and she is just unable to drive.
* MagicBus: A tour bus that can talk and travel between worlds.
* PimpedOutCar: She is an extremely cool bus, with personalized decorations with stars and rainbows, which make her stand out wherever she goes.
* PlatinumMakesEverythingShinier: Her color motif is silver and platinum, and she is much better at her job than the golden skidoo express.
* RainbowMotif: As expected, she's is themed around the puppy that represents the rainbow.
* SentientVehicle: A sentient car.
* SwirlyEnergyThingy: When she skidoo she leaves a trail of rainbow swirls behind. Its wheels also have a rainbow swirls theme.

A group of sentient, talking color drops that communicate with Joe (Josh in the reboot's version) and Blue.

* AnimateInanimateObject: They are talking color drops.

* SharedFamilyQuirks: In most cases, their family members will share the same peculiarities, even if on different levels, Steve's grandmother always wears green stripes like her grandson, and act like TheGadfly like Joe, Lola sings at random moments like Josh and so on.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: The animated characters look a lot like the protagonists that they should be related to, to the point where they look almost [[PaletteSwap recolors]]. The exception is the grandfather's clock, which although not so similar, still has the same color palette as his granddaughter's.

* CoolOldLady: Lola is a great cook, singer and is looked upon with admiration by several members of the yellow house (most notably her grandson Josh).
* CoolTeacher: At least in the controversial "Blue's Clues Nursery Rhymes" she works as a kindergarten teacher and even here she is a CoolOldLady. It is not known whether she works or worked as a teacher at canon at some point.
* HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: Her name is canonically Lola, which means grandma. Meaning her grandchildren are calling her grandma while other people are calling her by her name.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: Like her grandchildren, she has a love of cooking and music in general.
* StealthPun: Her name is a joke on the fact that she is a grandmother, Lola is a real name of Hispanic origin but also the Filipino word for grandma, making her Josh’s lola Lola.

* EarlyBirdCameo: They first appear as the "Feelin’ Filipino" email video before having a major role in “Kamusta Philippines”.
* FloralMotifs: Red flowers, which are the colors of the floral sculpture they make for their cart at the parade and the flowers on Paulo's floral shirt. Red flowers are associated with passion in addition to respect, desire, and courage, which are also the themes of their standout episode, where Josh and they need to overcome their StageFright togheter as a family because they love to sing.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: Like their cousin Josh and their grandmother Lola, they are extremely artistic in multiple areas with the most visible being singing.
* ShrinkingViolet: {{Downplayed}}. While they don't appear to be shy, they are kinda insecure about sing in front of people outside their family, preferring to stick to karaoke. Fortunately, being with Josh and Lola makes them lose that insecurity.
* SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: Successful cousin syndrome in this case. It is implied that they feel this way about Josh, even saying that unlike Josh, they are only good at singing karaoke.

----
* BubbleGun: One of his equipments as a "Smell Buster". The bubbles he releases are capable of cleaning anything they touch in a matter of seconds.
* CharacterCatchphrase: When someone mentions the word "fast": "I'm faster than lightning"
* ClashingCousins: {{Downplayed}}. Slippery has a one-sided rivalry with him, but Slick never notices, only thinking they are in friendly competition.
* DelinquentHair: Although not actually a delinquent, his "hair" is meant to resemble a [[GreaserDelinquents Greaser]].
* GreaserDelinquents: His design was created to project this trope, being a super fast and arrogant racer with a giant pompadour (made out of toothpaste) that he makes a point of combing whenever he's trying to look cool.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: He's generally a nice guy, but he seems to have a hard time reading the room and realizing that his constant bragging about how fast he is is making his cousin uncomfortable.
* NiceGuy: Arrogance aside, Slick is genuinely a friendly guy who just wants to have a good time competing with his cousin. He also seems quite willing to help the members of the yellow house, at the cost of his own comfort, even though he doesn't live there himself.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: {{Downplayed}}. He's the manly man for Slippery sensitive guy. Slick is designed to look like a delinquent driver, is quite confident of his abilities, and acts more arrogantly, meanwhile, Slippery is more sensitive and emotional, with little confidence but a lot of kindness in his heart.
* SpiritedCompetitor: He's competitive, cocky, and loves racing in general, and wants to be the fastest runner, which hurts Slippery a little, but he also values ​​his teammates and opponents and is a genuinely nice and friendly guy.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Slick is basically a PaletteSwap for Slippery with the color green and a pompadour made of toothpaste.
* UnknownRival: He never seems to realize that his cousin harbors some resentment for him being faster and a bit arrogant, and just assumes they are on good terms.

!!New York
[[folder: General]]
* AmbiguousSituation: It's not entirely clear if New York City should be the location of the "Big City" skidoo world, which is Periwinkle's old neighborhood, since Josh mentions that Rainbow Puppy lives in the big city world, while Rainbow Puppy states that she was from New York. It is worth to mention that in the times when Josh was in New York City no skidoo portal could be seen other than the Billboard that Tourbus and Skidoo Express use to move from Storybook World to New York, but in the big city several skidoo portals of different types can be observed.
* CityMouse: To Josh and Blue CountryMouse. Josh has no idea how the big city works, they are there to guide him.
* RealWorldEpisode: {{Implied|Trope}}. There are several implications that our protagonists are sentient fictional characters within the universe, with many characters openly knowing who they are, even if Josh doesn't recognize them.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: No one seems particularly impressed by Josh's magic or talking objects, although they are occasionally impressed by Blue, everyone seems more focused on [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Josh's]] peculiar behavior rather than the magic he brings to the world. This is {{Handwaved}} in "Rock on! Rainbow Puppy", where it is revealed that magic is relatively common in this version of New York City, even having a completely animated part of the city, meaning to them Josh's behavior was really the weirdest thing about the situation.
* WelcomeToTheBigCity: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Although he didn't actually encounter anyone rude, or criminal behavior, Josh as a FishOutOfWater, with anxiety issues and accompanied only by his Puppy, his experience in New York City wasn't as pleasant as you'd expect from a franchise like Blue's Clues.

->'''Voice:''' Brianna Bryan
A puppy who lives in New York City, where Periwinkle moved from. Unlike Blue and Magenta, she is bipedal and able to speak normally. Only appears in the reboot.
----
* AllLovingHeroine: She is kind and well-intentioned, being quite friendly to everyone, especially her fans, taking time to please them even when she is obviously unhappy.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: {{Zigzagged}} with Blue. Although she is recognized as being more talented than Blue when it comes to skidoo, she lacks some of Blue's smart puppy tendencies, making it very difficult for her when she needs to use logic.
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Taken to the extreme, as she's rainbow-colored.
* AscendedExtra: Was initially a one-off in "Our New Neighbor" as the friend Periwinkle misses, but was apparently popular enough to become a recurring character.
* BeautifulSingingVoice: She loves to sing and is known for having a great singing voice.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Professional Example. She shares many characteristics with Josh, like their attention difficulties, peculiar mannerisms and love for music, which is partially why she wants Josh to be the one who is the star of her show, as they are similar in their ways of express. This causes her to enter a short HeroicBsod in the movie when [[spoiler: Josh is unable to make it to the test on time as she sees this as a sign that her dream was probably not meant to happen]].
* BunnyEarsLawyer: She is quite dramatic, moves around bouncing, has attention problems and is a little self-centered, but she is also an incredible singer and actress, and even better when it comes to skidoo.
* CartoonCreature: Like Blue and Magenta, she's an ambiguous breed of dog, though notably has smaller ears than the two of them.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She comes off as this when interacting with the director of her musical in the movie. Trying to convince him that Josh is better suited as a protagonist than the others because he had "dreams and a heart", which unsurprisingly isn't very convincing.
* ColorCharacter: Taken even further than the other animal characters, as she's ''Rainbow'' Puppy.
* ColorMotif: {{Downplayed}}. She [[RainbowMotif represents the entire rainbow]] and her name is [[MeaningfulName Rainbow Puppy]], but the individual color associated with her is yellow/gold, [[GoldMakesEverythingShiny which is also the color associated with skidoo portals]].
* TheDitz: Not as much as Josh, but she still has a hard time keeping her train of thought going when she's not the one in charge.
* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: She has RainbowMotif and her skidoo skill seems to be above average.
* FemaleFelineMaleMutt: {{Inverted|Trope}}, Rainbow Puppy is a girl while her male best friend is Periwinkle the cat.
* FlatEarthAtheist: Strangely, although she is surrounded by magic and recognizes it, she does not believe in lucky charms, even though she believes in luck.
* FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter: Rainbow Puppy is so far the only bipedal puppy shown in the series, besides the puppies from Blue's Room and from Big City.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: She is a famous singer in the real world, apparently evolved the abilities that other puppies have and has her own dimension among all skidoo worlds, but that side of her is never explained or explored.
* HiddenDepths: "The Blue Big Derby" reveals that she has an interest in mechanics and she even helps Josh to fix Slippery's car.
* InexplicablyAwesome: Even more than Blue, since her skidoo skills can be used more times in a shorter period of time, being able to use them even in other skidoo worlds and create multiple portals at same time. Josh even seems to question how she is able to do this.
* IntellectualAnimal: As her name suggests, Rainbow Puppy is a puppy who is talented in multiple areas such as music, acting and even mechanics.
* InterclassFriendship: ImpliedTrope. It's barely visible because they live in a SugarBowl World, but she seems to be financially better off than most of the other characters as she is an InUniverse famous singer who seems to influence New York culture and has enough money to finance her own theater in the neighborhood.
* LightIsGood: She is the personification of the rainbow in the form of a dog and her Puppy magic is more luminous and colorful than Blue's, she is also an AllLovingHeroine that seems to influence the culture of her city in a positive way.
* LovableAlphaBitch: She's a rich, famous, and influential singer, but she's a lovely friend to our protagonists and Periwinkle.
* MagicIdolSinger: She is a magical puppy who can travel in space between skidoo worlds, and with magical abilities even more impressive than Blue's, who is also a famous singer and actress in the universe.
* RainbowMotif: The literal Rainbow Puppy.
* SkipOfInnocence: Her walking animation has her hopping happily with her arms behind her back, to highlight her childlike and cheerful nature.
* SpoiledSweet: Although she is a bit off-earth, she is kind-hearted and uses her wealth to fulfill her dreams and spread joy.
* TalkingAnimal: Notably the only puppy character (outside of ''Blue's Room'') able to speak; the others can only bark.
* UnseenNoMore: The first mention of her in the series was in "[[Recap/BluesCluesAndYouS1E2HappyBirthdayBlue Happy Birthday, Blue]]", the second episode of the reboot in chronological order, where a stuffie themed after her is seen in the Present Store that Josh encourages the viewer to choose as a birthday present for Blue, three seasons later she made her official debut in "Our New Neighbor" as Periwinkle’s best friend from his old neighborhood.
* UpperClassTwit: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. She is implied to be rich and although Rainbow Puppy isn't stupid and is good at many things, solving mysteries isn't one of them. While Blue seems to be one step ahead when you find her in difficult situations, Rainbow Puppy will be just as confused as Josh when she finds herself in a situation where she has to use logic.
* VagueAge: Although she is called a "puppy", she has an adult voice, does not go to school, manages her own money, can travel alone, use tools, among other "grown up" things implying that she is older than the other puppies.

* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: He's the person who's there to point out the flaws in Rainbow Puppy's way of evaluating people, even though he's nice about it.
* EnergeticAndSoftSpokenDuo: When they are alone he is Soft Spoken to Rainbow Puppy’s energetic, but during the auditions the dynamic reverses, as Rainbow Puppy is too worried about Josh to maintain her usual electric demeanor.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Although he clearly doesn't see the point in Rainbow Puppy's fixation on having only Josh as the protagonist, he still comforts her in the moments when she seems to be close to giving up.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Very {{Downplayed|Trope}}, he is 5'5''/1'65 cm, which might be considered short for a man, but he looks gigantic next to Rainbow Puppy, who is, well, the size of a dog.
* InterspeciesFriendship: An ordinary human being, friends with a magical colorful puppy.
* LittleGuyBigBuddy: The big buddy for Rainbow Puppy Little Guy. He's bigger, more serious, has a sharp head and generally acts as the voice of reason to his small and naive colleague.
* MuggleBestFriend: He is a good friend with [[MagicIdolSinger Rainbow Puppy]], despite having no connection with the magical part of the series.
* NoNameGiven: His name is never revealed, and he is referred to only as "Director" in the credits.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Although he is more serious than Rainbow Puppy, he is still seen dancing happily when he sees Josh performing,
* OddFriendship: With Rainbow Puppy, he is an ordinary, quite professional and relatively serious human, friends with a magical talking puppy, who is a bit dramatic and tends to act with her heart rather than logic.
* OlderSidekick: The Director and second guy in command of Rainbow Puppy, who is presumably older than her.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue oni to Rainbow Puppy's red oni, being quite professional and logical, contrasting with her emotional and idealistic nature.
* TheShowMustGoOn: Try to convince Rainbow Puppy to continue the show even though her plans seem to be going wrong, as it was always her dream to do a broadway musical. When he finally sees Josh performing on the screen, he finally succeeds, telling her just by the performance that she has indeed already found her star.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The StraightMan to Rainbow Puppy's Wise Guy. He's down to earth, much more direct than Rainbow Puppy about auditions, a little cynical but still very nice.
* TechnicianPerformerTeamUp: He is the technician for Rainbow Puppy Performer. He is more aware of how things work behind the scenes, while she, although famous and talented, lacks critical thinking and lets her emotions control her musical management.

A friendly New York City taxi driver who has apparently met Steve and Joe before, although he doesn't remember where.
----
* BirdsOfAFeather: He and Steve seem to have a lot in common. From their worldviews to their love for Rock, which is probably a running gag with his actor "Alex Winter" playing Steve in the WesternAnimation/RobotChicken parody of Blue Clues.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: For a moment he is that to Josh, though in a kinder way than usual. He explains that one of Josh's problems is how he is so rushed that he seems to ignore minor details, which Josh seems to understand later in the film.
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: He apparently recognizes Steve and Joe from somewhere, but he doesn't seem to remember where and neither do they.
* LetMeGetThisStraight: His reaction to Josh telling him he needs to get to the theater but doesn't know how to get there.
-->'''Driver''': Well, alright, sometimes you just need to have a little patience.
* NiceGuy: Even though he looks a little confused he's nothing but friendly with a lost Josh, offering him advice and wishing him good luck before he left.
* NoNameGiven: Just referred to as the Taxi Driver or Cab Driver.
* ScaryMusicianHarmlessMusic: A [[ZigZaggingTrope zigzagged]] [[InvertedTrope inversion]]. He's apparently a pretty average dude, but he sings one of the most aggressive songs in the film, until you hear the lyrics that are just the opening of ''WesternAnimation/BluesCluesAndYou'' [[SurprisinglyGentleSong in a rock rhythm]].
* SurprisinglyGentleSong: He sings the rock version of the opening of ''Blue's Clues & You'', which although it seems rougher than usual is still the same friendly song about a boy playing with his dog.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's only on screen for a few minutes, but his advice is part of what helps pull Josh out of his HeroicBsod during the last few moments of the movie.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: While other human characters seem confused, excited, or at least recognizing Blue in some way, he doesn't show any reaction when he sees the blue puppy getting into his car.

Some objects Josh accidentally brought to life on his visit to New York City. There are several, but the three most prominent are NYC Mailbox, Mr. Trashcan and a Cup of Coffee.
----
* AnimateInanimateObject: They are all objects that Josh accidentally brought to life. The list starts with a mailbox, a bottle of mustard, a trash can, a coffee cup, a salt and pepper shaker, some singing flowers, and dancing trees.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The Trashcan, the coffee cup and the NYC Mailbox become eternally loyal to Josh after he accidentally brings them to life by being nice to them. Following him all over New York City for the sole purpose of thanking him for it.
* EdibleThemeNaming: Miss Mustard and the Coffee Cup naturally.
* MistakenIdentity: The salt and pepper shakers that Josh momentarily believes are Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper. Funny enough immediately after Josh realizes they aren't his friends they become NYC versions of them.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: While Josh is treated as crazy for interacting with inanimate objects before they come to life, the sentient objects themselves don't seem to draw much attention as they walk freely around the city. This is justified in "Rock On! Rainbow Puppy" which confirms that Rainbow Puppy originates from New York City, and that the city has at least [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything one entire animated neighborhood similar to Storybook World, with non-human citizens]], making this version of New York City at least partially magical before Josh even sets foot there. Which means that citizens are already at least a little used to this type of situation.
* WiseTree: The two trees that guide Josh to the last clue and remind him and Blue that they have little time.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: While the main three are shown fairly frequently throughout the film and Ms Mustard is shown with her owner in the scene where Steve and Joe discuss, the salt and pepper shakers are never shown again nor are recognized as existing by any of the characters.

!!Skidoo Worlds Characters
[[folder: General]]

Tropes shared by the Skidoo World's Inhabitants
----
* AllMythsAreTrue: This especially applies to Storybook Forest and the Fairy Tale Land, but as any written and illustrated book can become a skidoo world, you can find literally any character that you can imagine.
* AnimateInanimateObject: Literally anything can be alive in any universe, from raindrops to the literal planets of the solar system, Even animals can be animated objects like the Banjo Bunny Band which are talking rabbits but also stuffed animals.
* ArtInitiatesLife: Literally anyone can create a Skidoo World like Joe and Periwinkle did by accident, and even if it was created recently, there will already be entire cultures the second you skidoo on there.
* LivingDrawing: Many of them are sentient illustrated book characters.
* {{Toontown}}: Each town in these worlds technically counts as this, but Silly Town in particular, as characters from different skidoo worlds can be found coexisting there.
* NoFocusOnHumans: Many of the cities in skidoo worlds will be inhabited exclusively by cartoons, with humans being quite rare. The exceptions are the Storybook World neighborhood and Steve's college, where humans other than the three hosts can be found.
* NoFourthWall: InUniverse. Several of the characters are characters from story books, toys, films, cartoons or simply [[LivingDrawing talking drawings]] and recognized as such, without questions, even the protagonists of the series are characters from a literal storybook and accept it without any problems.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: The only difference between him and his sister is that she has yellow braids on her head.

For more information about him, visit: CharactersBluesCluesNearbySkidooLocations

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: He wears glasses, a vest, a bow tie, and a kippah.
* AmbiguousSituation: The dialogue implies that before moving with Aly into the neighborhood, Peri used to live with him in the big city. The reason Periwinkle moved and why his grandfather did not go with them is unclear.
* BespectacledCutie: An adorable elderly cat wearing glasses
* CuteKitten: Older than the other cats in the series, but still adorable.
* ColorCharacter: An elderly light mauve cat.
* DotingGrandparent: To his grandson Periwinkle.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: He is similar in height to his grandson, even though he is years older. {{Handwaved}} because he's an anthropomorphic cat so he probably wouldn't grow any bigger than a cat would.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Mauve is almost an older recolour of his grandson with the most visible differences being his color, facial hair and the extra stripes. He even has the same spot on his paw that his grandson has.

[[caption-width-right:500: Boo]]
A little ghost who is easily scared (especially when hearing his own name) who lives in the skidoo world of the haunted house.

* TheAgeless: {{Handwaved}} Since Boo is a ghost he probably can't age.
* BedsheetGhost: His normal form is a transparent white ghost, although in the Halloween episodes he is seen wearing a leaf sack costume.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: You'd be forgiven for thinking that Boo is actually a ghost girl, with even some dubs accidentally referring to him in the feminine.
* FriendlyGhost: Although Steve and Blue were originally scared of him, they quickly learned that he was a NiceGuy and just as scared as they were.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: Boo is a ghost, who originally caused fear in Steve and Blue, but is so easily scared that our protagonists just can't help but help him.
* LovableCoward: Like Josh, he is easily scared, but is a sweet boy and a good friend of our protagonists.
* MeaningfulName: "Boo" is an exclamation meant to surprise someone and every time he hears his own name he has exactly that reaction.
* SillySpook: Steve seems to see him as this after spending some time with him, seeming to find his overreaction less scary or surprising and more funny.
