Notes
- Gyro and Little Helper do not appear in "Campaign Carnage, Part 3", but Doofus Drake and a regular lamp are drawn to be mistaken for them by the audience only for the duration of one page.
- Gyro fills the role of a James Bond Q-style gadgeteer in the DuckTales episode "Double-O Duck". Sara Bellum holds this position in Darkwing Duck.
- Gyro and Little Helper made their animated debut in the Sport Goofy Soccermania special, which was the inspiration for DuckTales.
