Line 15:
* [[Canon Welding]]: Places Verne's earlier books {{spoiler|''[[Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea]]'' and ''[[In Search of the Castaways]]''}} in the same continuity, although that leads to a [[Series Continuity Error]] in the case of the former. Together, the three books form the "[[Fan Nickname|Sea Trilogy]]".
* [[Deserted Island]] : Played straight with Lincoln Island and subverted by the isle of Tabor.
* [[
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: The whole plot is basically a sequence of those. In a surprisingly [[Tropes Are Not Bad]] way, they almost always create ''more'' suspense than they resolve, until the very end.
* [[Dub Name Change]]: Some of the character names are changed in the earlier translations into English, e. g. Cyrus Smith being turned into Cyrus Harding, and Pencroff becoming Pencroft. Pretty much all translations changed Harbert to Herbert.
Line 30:
** [[Team Pet]]: Top and Jup
* {{spoiler|[[Happy Ending]]: Verne originally wanted a [[Bittersweet Ending]] where the castaways are somewhat depressed at having lost the Island. His editor had him change it to an upbeat one where they buy some territory in the state of Iowa and create a replica of the island to serve as a colony and a tourist attraction.}}
* [[Go Mad From the Isolation]]
* [[Is It Something You Eat?]]: Pencroff. Surrounded by the wonders of nature, his interests are still primarily culinary.
* [[Large Ham]]: Pencroff
* [[Misplaced Vegetation]]
* [[The Remnant]]: {{spoiler|Nemo}}'s origin reveals that he is an exiled Indian prince [[Shell-Shocked Veteran|still fighting]] the Sepoy Rebellion and hating the British.
* [[The Reveal]]
