* [[Pie Eyed]]: Almost everyone, in a rare modern use that's not a deliberate throwback.

* [[Planet of Hats]]: Most episodes took place in a world built around a particular theme (Pirates, Wild West, outer space, etc.). And that's [[Hilarious in Hindsight|almost a decade before]] ''[[Mario Party (Video Game)|Mario Party]] 2'' offered a similar premise with themed boards.

* [[Powered Armor]]: Robo-Koopa.

* [[Product Placement]]: As if this show didn't advertise ''[[Super Mario Bros]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' enough, the episode "Bats in the Basement" shows Mario eating [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Cereal_System Nintendo Cereal System].

* [[You Can't Go Home Again]]: "Brooklyn Bound" did focus on the duo finding a way back home, but they opt to stay in order to protect the Princess.
