Line 14:
* [[And Now You Must Marry Me]]: "Do You, Princess Toadstool, Take This Koopa..."
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: Koopa becomes a giant in two episodes. So does Mario in one of these two.
** [[Hilarious in Hindsight|And then they made]] [[New Super Mario Bros.|the Mega Mushroom]]...
* [[The Blank]]: Indiana Joe from "Raiders of the Lost Mushroom" is literally drawn without an actual face.
* [[Brown Note]]: In one episode, Koopa is defeated by the playing of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' theme song. Seriously.
Line 40:
* [[Idiot Ball]]: In the live-action episode "Goodbye, Mr. Fish", Mario is stopped from dropping a meatball into Kenneth's fishbowl by Luigi, yet Mario proceeds to do it anyway.
* [[Incredible Shrinking Man]]: Mario ended up getting shrunk in two episodes.
** [[Hilarious in Hindsight|And then they made]] [[New Super Mario Bros.|the Mini Mushroom]]...
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: All the pasta jokes.
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: Bowser was always referred to as "King Koopa", and never by his first name. Averted with the Princess; "Toadstool" was her Western name until 1996, years after this cartoon ended production.
Line 50:
* [[May the Farce Be with You]]
* [[Mondegreen]]: "Oh, <ref> fuck</ref> you, Luigi!" and "Maybe we should stay and <ref> hump</ref> the Princess."
* [[Musical Episode]]: "Bad Rap" is performed entirely in (awful) rap.
* [[No One Could Survive That]]: In "Toad Warriors", Kar-Krazy Koopa blasts a fortress where the heroes are hiding. Though he immediately jeers like he assumes he's defeated his opponents, in the very next scene he refuses Mouser's insistence on the same outcome, thinking that the heroes might be lying low as a trick. It takes a couple more potshots and more urging from Mouser until Koopa finally agrees to move in, which is also when Mario & Co. initiate the plan they had just developed.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: King Koopa and the Koopa Pack. The show, due to its pastiche nature, offered most genres' worth of Obviously Evil design. Because it's a comedic show, though, the lowest Mooks are occasionally given [[Affably Evil]] moments when they think nobody is looking.
* [["On the Next..."]]: Each episode would feature Mario, Luigi or another character in the live-action segments introducing such a segment for that week's ''[[The Legend of Zelda (animation)|The Legend of Zelda]]''. That meant for different previews for one episode.
* [[Once Per Episode]]: The Mario Bros. battling Koopa Troopas to the beat of old pop music. Examples include Mario & Luigi fighting ninjas ("Kung Fu Fighting") and redcoats in 1776 ("He's a Rebel").
* [[Opening Narration]]: "Plumber's Log, Number ______...."
* [[Pie-Eyed]]: Almost everyone, in a rare modern use that's not a deliberate throwback.
