* DoubleMeaningTitle: The majority of category titles have a meaning taken from their origin and what the questions are about. For example, "Under the Sea" is the name of a song from ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'', but the name represent how all answers start with the letter C.

Made that clearer.


* SchmuckBait: Some answers are almost blatantly wrong, like how [[Franchise/ToyStory Buzz Lightyear]] is one of the options for what [[WesternAnimation/TheRescuers Penny's toy]] was (because apparently a character who originates from 1995 can show up in a 1977 film). Still, it might be tempting to pick them just to hear what the hostess has to say.

!!These tropes are worth... 6000 D BUCKS!:
* BonusRound: After finishing a section during the first and second round, the game will be interrupted for a bonus round. Those include:
** Before and After: Buzz when a character's original sketch and their film appearance are shown at the same time.
** Casting Call: Ten characters from a movie or show are revealed one after another. Buzz once you know what show they originate from.
** Cel-O-Vision: The game switches character cels and background paintings. Buzz when those match.
** Character Mix-Ups: Assemble a character from spinning parts on three wheel slots.
** Fast Focus: A highly distorted image of a character is shown and slowly corrects itself. Buzz when it's clear enough who is shown.
** Picture Perfect: A slider puzzle is slowly arranged. Buzz when it seems like it would be solvable, then use the cursor to slide every tile in its proper place.
* ColorCodedMultiplayer: There are three player slots. Contestant #1 is blue, contestant #2 is red, and contestant #3 is green.
* DoubleMeaningTitle: The majority of category titles have a meaning taken from their origin and what the questions are about. For example, "Under the Sea" is the name of a song from ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'', but the name represent how all answers start with the letter C.
* FollowTheBouncingBall: The credits repeat the song from the beginning, but this time the lyrics are shown at the bottom with Mickey's head bouncing on them.
* LargeHamAnnouncer: The hostess, played by Susan Cash, can really loudly announce how many D Bucks you can get for a question, and by the last round of the D Fibulator, she's downright ecstatic.
* SchmuckBait: Some answers are almost blatantly wrong, like how [[Franchise/ToyStory Buzz Lightyear]] is one of the options for what [[WesternAnimation/TheRescuers Penny's toy]] was (because apparently a character who originates from 1995 can show up in a 1977 film). Still, it might be tempting to pick them just to hear what the hostess has to say.
* TimedMission: As this is a game show-styled video game, all questions need to be buzzed and answered quickly while bonus rounds need to be completed within a minute or half.
