Let's Go! Thingio!
"It must be my arch nemesis, Doofliss!"
—Mario
|
Let's Go! Thingio! is a Super Mario Bros.. fangame made by Tech Wing. While other fangames clone SMB3, Thingio does something...well, different. There's no in-depth plot, instead focusing mainly on Surreal Humor and Non-Sequiturs.

- All Just a Dream: The first couple sections of the game.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall:
Geno: And you two will do the de rigueur pauperizing of the fourth wall! Right? |
- Boss Rush: The latter portion of the game has you fighting assorted bosses in Wart's tournament, including "The Invincible Tubba Wario".
- Calling Your Attacks: Doofliss, if you count "BARF!".
- Cement Shoes: Mario gets this treatment when he and the Rub Rabbits Leader ask Captain Falcon for a boat. This is treated as an "UPGRADE GET!"
- Establishing Character Moment: For the game as a whole. It's plenty surreal and bizarre already, but one early portion suddenly cuts to you snowboarding down a hill as Scrooge McDuck dodging ridiculous obstacles before finally running over your nephews. And it is never brought up, referenced, or anything ever again.
- Gratuitous Foreign Language:
Old Man: ME NO HABLO ENGLAS |
- Humongous Mecha: Mecha Mario Gozirra Kun.
- Intentional Engrish for Funny: "Oh Noes! Teh city are on fiar!"
- Non Sequitur: Lots of them.
Mario: What's that got to do with anything? The battle, the quiz, the TREE, I mean come on! It's madness! |
- Portmanteau: Miyamotorboat (Miyamoto + Motorboat).
- Spy Speak:
Falco: The eagle has landed, the cow jumped over the toaster, and I believe you have my stapler. |
- Sweat Drop: Geno when Mario suggests that they dance after an Escape Sequence, and Mario when Geno plans to enter him into the Subcon Triathlothon.
- What Could Have Been: The game was originally meant to be a RPG, and Frog from Chrono Trigger would've been a main character alongside the other three.
- Video Game Remake: Side A is being remade.
