* ToKnowHimIMustBecomeHim: Darkwing tries this to find his EvilTwin Negaduck. Problem is, he's also suffering from that week's AppliedPhlebotinum accident. He actually becomes [[OmnicidalManiac Negaduck]]. Gosalyn and Launchpad easily find him by following the trail of destruction. Then again, he did find Negaduck -- and then accused him of being a fake.

* VocalEvolution: Darkwing-as-Negaduck's voice is a dead ringer for the real Negaduck's in his first scene. However, when he confronts the real Negaduck, his voice is now closer to his own voice imitating Negaduck. More than likely, it was to help differentiate the two since they looked exactly alike.

* GoneHorriblyRight: Darkwing looks at a mug shot of Negaduck so that he'll turn into him and know what his next move will be. The problem is, as Negaduck, he no longer has any scruples about threatening Gosalyn and Launchpad.

to:

* BaitAndSwitch: While they're driving to S.H.U.S.H. headquarters, Darkwing swerves the miss a dog and crashes the Ratcatcher. Launchpad and Gosalyn get up and see Darkwing's hat on a dog. They run off after "him"...and as soon as they're gone, the real Darkwing climbs out of the bushes.
* ContinuityNod: Darkwing's inability to fly his own plane comes up again when he takes the Thunderquack while transformed into Launchpad and reverts to himself midflight. He apparently crashed it quite badly.

Negaduck starts a crime wave while disguised as Darkwing, turning the city against him. The situation gets worse when Dr. Sarah Bellum hits Darkwing with a disguise ray, causing him to turn into whoever he's looking at.
!!This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
* GoneHorriblyRight: Darkwing looks at a mug shot of Negaduck so that he'll turn into him and know what his next move will be. The problem is, as Negaduck, he no longer has any scruples about threatening Gosalyn and Launchpad.
* MasqueradingAsTheUnseen: While it helps that Negaduck is also Darkwing's alternate self, part of the reason he can frame him might be that few people in St. Canard know who Darkwing is.
* MorphicResonance: Darkwing and Negaduck keep their beaks whenever they transform, and Darkwing also keeps his own height as the maximum height he can achieve.
* PunnyTitle: The title is a pun on "the sky's the limit."
* TermsOfEndangerment: Darkwing, after transforming himself into Negaduck, calls Gosalyn "shnookums" while chasing her and Launchpad with a flamethrower.
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Darkwing's ''mind'' changes with every new form he assumes. This causes trouble when he takes the Thunderquack out as Launchpad and then changes back midflight, and again when he turns himself into Negaduck and gains his destructive tendencies.
* ToKnowHimIMustBecomeHim: Darkwing tries this to find his EvilTwin Negaduck. Problem is, he's also suffering from that week's AppliedPhlebotinum accident. He actually becomes [[OmnicidalManiac Negaduck]]. Gosalyn and Launchpad easily find him by following the trail of destruction. Then again, he did find Negaduck. And then accused him of being a fake.
