{{tropelist}}
* [[The Alleged Steed]]: The Saw-horse, who has no joints in his legs and, at first at least, has no ears and can't follow directions, starts out as this. Later, he is revealed to be completely tireless and the fastest ride in Oz.
* [[Amazon Brigade]]: General Jinjur's Army of Revolt and Glinda's army. Played with in that Jinjur's just ''thought'' they were; the Emerald City's army wouldn't hit a girl and was less than a match for Dorothy by herself anyway. Even so, the all-female armies in this book are the most effective armies in Baum's Oz books -- all the rest are either evil and menacing but are foiled before they do much harm, e.g. the Nome King's army; or are too small to be threatening (these will include exactly one private soldier, but may have a large number of officers who do not fight), e.g. the Army of Oz. Jinjur's and Glinda's armies are the only ones that actually do what they set out to do.
Line 13 ⟶ 29:
* [[Completely Unnecessary Translator]]: Played for laughs when Jack Pumpkinhead arrives in the Emerald City. Jack, a Gillikin, claims he can't understand the Scarecrow, a Munchkin, so the Scarecrow calls in Jellia Jamb to translate. However, there's only ''one'' language in Oz, and neither of them realize they just casually discussed their inability to understand each other (Jack is [[The Ditz]]). Jellia catches on and gleefully misinterprets them until it finally hits both that they don't ''need'' translation.
* [[Crossing the Desert]]: Mombi tries this to escape Glinda. Glinda catches her.
* [[Cut His Heart Out
* [[Gender Bender]]: {{spoiler|Tip is really Princess Ozma, who was transformed into a boy when she was hidden away as an infant to make her harder to find.}}
* [[Giant Flyer]]: The Gump
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: H.M. Wogglebug T.E. makes a joke about the Sawhorse, noting that if he rode him, it would be a "horse-and-buggie". Jack Pumpkinhead covers up his permanently-smiling mouth, and the Tin Woodsman threatens the Wogglebug with his axe.
* [[It Was
* [[Mix-and-Match Critters]]: The Gump, magically assembled from two couches for a body, palm leaves for wings, a broom for a tail, and the stuffed and mounted head of a dead animal.
* [[Moses in
* [[Oddly Small Organization]]: The entire Royal Army of Oz is ''one person'', The Man With the Green Whiskers who first appeared in the original book.
* [[Pragmatic Adaptation]]: Inverted; it's been suggested that, following the great success of ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'''s stage adaptation, Baum wrote this sequel with one eye on what would look good on stage. The element that's most often singled out is the Army of Revolt, composed of good-looking women whose uniforms are described in detail. Another element that may have been affected by the stage prospects is {{spoiler|Tip turning out to really be female, since in a stage production a young boy would be played by a woman anyway}}.
Line 32 ⟶ 48:
* [[Third Law of Gender Bending]]: {{spoiler|After Tip is turned back into Princess Ozma, he instantly transforms from a fairly rambunctious boy to an exceedingly girly girl.}} However, given the date of publication (1903) it's highly unlikely anything else would have been considered acceptable.
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: General Jinjur.
