* NeverGetsDrunk: We never get specifics, but considering that the book opens with Daring in a drinking contest at a bar, and her opponent, a Diamond Dog six times her body weight, passes out before he can finish his last round, [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar this is pretty much what the author was wanting her older audience to get]].

* BerserkButton: Comparing Derring to Daring, which gets Bravado bucked in the face.



*BreakTheHaughty: Derring goes through this twice, both courtesy of Darrin. The first time, when he delivers an epic rant against her, she tries to pretend it didn't bother her, though Daring notes she was clearly a bit hurt. The second time, she overhears Darrin talking to Herpy about how she abandoned him and Daring. This forces Derring to confront how horrible she's been to her siblings, and thus, knocks her down a couple pegs. Of course, she's still pretty arrogant, but she gets better over the course of the series.



* HijackedByGanon: [[spoiler:Ahuizotl. More shocking to Daring than to the reader, which is somewhat understandable since it's earlier in her career than the last three books]].
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:King Hammerhoof, at least until the New Adventures.]]



-->'''Darrin''': ...and if [Derring] gives a buck what happens to us now, I'll eat my hat.

to:

-->'''Darrin''': ...-->'''Darrin''': Derring didn't care what happened to us back then, and if [Derring] she gives a buck what happens to us now, I'll eat my hat.hat.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Darrin calling Derring out for leaving him and Daring without even bothering to call or write for seven years.
-->'''Darrin''': I understand why you wouldn't want to have to raise us. You had dreams. You had your own life to live. Fair enough. But did you have to take it out on us? It wasn't like we were thrilled with the situation, either! Do you think having to be cared for by a moody, cocky spoiled brat because our father ran out on us was our first choice? Do you?! Because it wasn't! And you were so horrible about accepting it, too! You just complained and treated us like we wanted you to be held back! We didn't want that! We're siblings, Derring! Siblings are supposed to want the best for one another! And they are not supposed to just skip out on their younger siblings the second one of them turns eighteen! Would it have killed you to say goodbye?! Leave a note?! Call us every now and then?! And when we finally run into you — after seven years, I may add! — you don't even bother to say, "Hey, how's your life been since I ditched you with no explanation?" Derring, you're my older sister, and I love you, but I have one thing to say to you: GROW UP.
* [[SherlockScan Sherclop Scan]]: Daring and Derring can do this with ancient artifacts to identify how old they are, what material they're made of, and the history of the area in which they were found. Early in the book, Daring and Derring get into a Scan battle to identify a slab of stone that had recently been put on display in a local museum.
* ShoutOut: The scene where Daring tries to tell apart the real and fake crowns by using water displacement to calculate density is a ShoutOut to the legend of Eureka. Unfortunately, they're both the same density. [[spoiler:The crown isn't made of platinum, it was just owned by Princess Platinum]].

''Daring Do and the Platinum Crown'' is the fifth book published in the ''JustForFun/DaringDo'' series originated by T. Ropers. This book is set before ''Griffon's Goblet'', and is thus the first chronological appearance of Derring Do.

!! Short Summary

Daring Do's sister Derring-Do challenges her to a race to see who first complete the only quest that their parents were never able to finish: the search for the legendary Platinum Crown.

The Applewood film adaptation stars [[Creator/HarrisonFord Hairerion Trot]], [[Creator/JohnBarrowman John Barrowmane]] and [[Creator/AngelinaJolie Agister Jolie]] and [[Creator/DanteBasco Dante Bronco]] reprising their roles from previous films.

!! ''Daring Do and the Platinum Crown'' contains examples of:

* BigDamnHeroes: Derring saves her sister from an especially nasty death trap and carries her to safety... [[{{Jerkass}} only to incessantly rub it in Daring's face after the fact]]. Later on, Daring gets a BDH moment of her own when she saves Derring from Ahuizotl and his forces.
* [[TheCaligula The Incitatus]]: King Hammerhoof. He is a clear expy of the historical Incitatus...
** [[CaligulasHorse Incitatus' Ergaster]] ...right down making his pet ape a senator.
* NeverGetsDrunk: We never get specifics, but considering that the book opens with Daring in a drinking contest at a bar, and her opponent, a Diamond Dog six times her body weight, passes out before he can finish his last round, [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar this is pretty much what the author was wanting her older audience to get]].
