Line 19:
* [[Celebrity Paradox]]: One of the missing "artifacts" is [[King Kong]] -- the inspiration for Nintendo's very own [[Donkey Kong]], famously inciting a trademark infringement lawsuit from Universal Studios in 1982.
* [[Creepy Child]]: Princess Peach's voice acting.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: What Weegee does 1:20 into the Ending. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHc0SCrwJvQ\]
* [[Eiffel Tower Effect]]: Because of this trope, you rarely need to actually ask people "Where am I?". Which is good, because almost nobody ever gives a straight answer to that question.
* [[The End of the World As We Know It]]: Bowser's grand scheme is to set of a bunch of Hair Driers at the South Pole melting all the polar ice caps and flooding the world.
* [[
* [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]: Mario ''is'' missing, after all. It's the only thing that makes sense about this game.
* [[Excited Show Title]]
* [[Exposition Fairy]]: In the PC version, Mario himself can call Luigi with his videophone to give insight on what Bowser's up to back at the castle.
* [[Family
* [[Fun With Acronyms]]: The Koopas and Luigi travel across the world using a machine found in Bowser's castle called the "[[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|PORTALS]]", or "Passcode Operated Remote Transport And Larceny System".
* [[Goofy Print Underwear]]: Bowser.
Line 32:
* [[Insurmountable Waist Height Fence]]: The exits back to Bowser's Castle are blocked off by a Pokey. The player has to figure out where in the world they actually are in order to get Yoshi to come and eat the Pokey so they can leave the stage.
* [[Limited Special Collectors Ultimate Edition]]: Besides the basic floppy disk based DOS version, there was also a deluxe CD version, which had enhanced audio and full voice acting. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT9Nu9qe3J0 TERRIBLE voice acting.]
* [[Off
* [[Only Six Faces]]: There are specific types of people in each city, who give different types of answers to your questions.
* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: In all versions of the game, Mario notices the title of the game, and does a double take as if to say "'Mario is Missing'? But I'm not missing!" And then he goes missing.
