* VideoGameRemake: The 1993 MS-DOS CD-ROM kids' game ''Richard Scarry's Busytown'' had a remake made and released in 1999 for Windows and Macintosh computers, featuring improved graphics and animation better resembling ''The Busy World of Richard Scarry'' animated series and better voice-acting resembling the voices in the same series (as the original game had [[TalkingToHimself one man providing all the character voices]]). While the gameplay is mostly the same and the original vocal songs are included, the "Bananas Gorilla" activity was removed from the remake, along with the "Junior Seesaw" activity (as it was already made redundant by the regular "Seesaw" activity.)

** Played somewhat straight with "Sleeping Car Adventure." It's based off the book "Hilda Needs Help!" where Hilda is also going to the seaside on the same train the Cat family is for their vacation. But in "Sleeping Car Adventure," the Cat family invites Hilda along on their vacation to look after Huckle, Sally and Lowly while the parents relax. But as the trip goes on, one calamity after another happens with Hilda (as in the book), and the parents wonder if bringing Hilda along was such a good idea. But at the beach, when Hilda saves Huckle and Lowly from a huge tidal wave, it turns out bringing her along was a great idea after all.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Not exactly a "hero" per se, but Bananas Gorilla is more of a good guy in the series than he is in the books, where he's something of a banana thief. He still loves bananas, but he generally won't steal them. In fact, the one time Sergeant Murphy tried to apprehend him for banana theft, he was actually mistaken, and quickly apologized when he realized what was really going on.

* TheDinnermobile: Scarry is arguably the king of this trope, as his illustrations are full of whimsical vehicle designs, many of which are based on food items. While his books hold too many examples to list individually, the most iconic of these is probably Lowly Worm's apple-shaped car (that can fly like a helicopter, no less), followed by Bananas Gorilla's banana-shaped ride.
