Line 2:
=== Paper Mario ===
 
* Depending on your tastes, Bowser gets one at the very beginning of the game. After being humiliated by Mario over the years, he makes one hell of a comeback as he attacks Peach's castle during a party. He ''lifts the damn castle into the sky'' by somehow getting a castle of his to rise out from beneath it, instantly trapping Princess Peach and all her guests with nowhere to run. And not only that, Bowser actually wins against Mario for once, and even almost kills him to boot by roasting him with fire breath and then leaving him to fall to his death! If Mario hadn't been saved by some timely intervention by the Star Spirits, Bowser would have finally won for sure.
* Sometimes you can get rare Lil' Oinks. The Golden ones drop Ultra Shrooms and Silver ones drop Jammin' Jellies.
* Seeing Dry Dry Ruins come out of the ground for the first time.
Line 13 ⟶ 14:
* During the last chapter's first cutscene, the game hands us one. {{spoiler|After [[The Dragon|Kammy Koopa]] tells [[Big Bad|Bowser]] that [[The Hero|Mario]] has saved all of the Star Spirits, he ties up Princess Peach and decides to kill Mario himself. Twink of all people jumps in to try and save Peach by attacking the [[Elite Mooks|Koopatrol]].}} Sure, it didn't work, but hey, it was awesome nonetheless.
* Peach wishing for the Star Beam to gain power after {{spoiler|Bowser cancels it out}}.
 
=== Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door ===
 
* The Glitzville chapter. Battle tournaments, screaming fans, and a super-creepy mystery? Badass.
** Not to mention getting to name a [[Badass Adorable]] Yoshi and if you know the waiting how many minutes trick to wait before running from a [[Hopeless Boss Fight]] you can also get the color you want the Yoshi to be as well. This troper has gotten a Black Yoshi quite a few times.
* The climax of Keelhaul Key. {{spoiler|Two [[Cool Boat|awesome sailing ships]], one the [[Anachronism Stew|high-tech]] [[Spikes of Villainy|spike covered]] X-Naut ship, the other a [[Afterlife Express|haunted]] [[Ghost Pirate|pirate ship]] commanded by [[Defeat Means Friendship|the boss you just beat]], face off in the bay and launch a full-on boarding battle, culminating in a boss fight against [[Recurring Boss|Lord Crump]] and [[Flunky Boss|his minions in attack formations]].}} Now ''that'' is how you finish a chapter!
* Also the launch of the Big Cannon in Chapter 7.
** Plus what's not awesome about fighting a mech in a high tech base on the moon?
* In Chapter 8 of The Thousand Year Door, Vivian tells off Beldam, who has been mistreating her all their time together, and fights her alongside Mario.
{{quote| '''Vivian''': I'm with Mario all the way! [[The Dog Bites Back|Today, Sis, I am going to punish YOU]], do you hear me?}}
** That line was so awesome, it is [[Tropers/RL Yoshi|this troper's]] favourite quote. Not just in the game. Not just in video games. It's my favourite quote ''in the history of the world.''
* At the end of [[Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door (Video Game)|Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door]], {{spoiler|this troper was so moved and amazed when everyone around the world was rooting for Mario. They're on the edge of despair and plunged in darkness, but seeing the Crystal Star show up in their area reminds them of Mario's impact on them in his adventure, and it revitalizes their hope. It definitely reflects on the player too-- you've come so far, and seeing all these characters rooting for you and showing the progress you've made, is just amazing. It definitely counts as a [[Tear Jerker]] and a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] all at once.}}
 
=== Super Paper Mario ===
 
* In Chapter 7-4 of ''Super Paper Mario'', [[Big Damn Heroes|Rebbi arrives with a brigade of Nimbis]] to help Mario and co. get past massive squadron of Skellobits and Skellobombers.
{{quote| '''Rebbi:''' [[Sophisticated As Hell|THOU ART TOAST!]]}}
* In Chapter 8-2 of ''Super Paper Mario'', you have to fight Mimi ([[Recurring Boss|AGAIN]]) at the end, but this time you can only play as Peach. Nothing is better than kicking the most annoying boss's ass using [[Action Girl|Peach]], ''of all characters''. And to top that off, creppy but [[Crowning Music of Awesome|awesome music]] plays in the background.
* Tippi's [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] to {{spoiler|Super Dimentio}} shortly before his death.
{{quote| '''Tippi:''' Not everything is set in stone. Some things we decide for ourselves.}}
** This Troper loved Bowser's line is possibly even morebetter.
{{quote| You believed in your prophecy, and we believed in mopping the FLOOR with you!}}
** Oh yeah, and {{spoiler|Dimentio}}'s [[Taking You Withwith Me]] move that could only be canceled out {{spoiler|''BY MARRIAGE''}}. I just find it cool he didn't rely on the heroes being dumb enough to do absolutely nothing, as most tend to do.
