{{tropelist}}

* [[Absent-Minded Professor]]: Professor Frankly is one of the "rambling genius who often gets lost in unrelated tangents" persuasion.

** Mario has a "Mailbox SP", which looks exactly like a Game Boy Advance SP.

** There's a kid NPC in Petalburg who goes on about an awesome new video game he's playing. The title? ''[[Fire Emblem]]''.

* [[Continuity Nod]]: At the beginning of the game, Parakarry from the first ''[[Paper Mario]]'' game delivers a letter to the Mario Bros. In the [[Playable Epilogue|post-game]], you can meet another of your party members from ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]''. There would've been more than just the two, but they were [[Dummied Out]]. Jr. Troopa can also be seen in the background of a picture attached to e-mail sent to Mario by Zip Toad.

* [[Cool Shades]]: Worn by enemy Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas.

* [[The Dog Was the Mastermind]]: {{spoiler|Beldam, the leader of the X-Naut's ineffective [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] turns out to have been manipulating Grodus the whole time, and is the real mastermind behind the Shadow Queen's resurrection.}}

* [[Downer Ending]]: This happens if you decide to {{spoiler|become the Shadow Queen's servant. As the narrator so eloquently puts it, "The Shadow Queen engulfed the world with her foul magic. For Mario, Peach and the world it was... [[Nonstandard Game Over|GAME OVER]].}}

* [[Dressing as the Enemy]]: Peach dons an X-Naut uniform at one point.

* [[Dronejam]]: Zess T. keeps you out of the west side of Rogueport after you break her contact lens. She doesn't budge until you buy her a new one.

* [[Easter Egg]]: There's a place in the X-Naut Fortress where Mario can be 8-bit again.
