Line 35:
* [[And Now You Must Marry Me]]: Bowser asks Peach to marry him, and threatens to [[Taken for Granite|turn her subjects into stone]] if she doesn't.
* [[Animesque]]: Well, the illustrator is Japanese.
* [[Anything
* [[Art Shift]]: For one panel in the first chapter, Mario's face goes realistic.
* [[Badass Arm
* [[Badass Boast]]: Even chains can't hold the mighty Mario!
* [[Badass Damsel]]: Peach, boy howdy. Just watch her go all Allah Ackbar on the Koopalings!
Line 85:
* [[Disguised in Drag]]: Luigi.
* [[Disney Villain Death]]: {{spoiler|Bowser falls off of his wedding cake}} when it collapses.
* [[Do You Want to Haggle?]]: Floyd Floyd hastily marks down his ''Acme Yoshi Translator'' from 3000 coins ("'''[[Big Word Shout|3000!!]]'''") to 10, since they're friends of Yoshi.
* [[Don't Look Down]]: Mario realizing he's actually standing on a Blargg.
* [[Dynamic Entry]]: "SPECIAL DELIVERY!"
Line 131:
* [[It Has Been an Honor]]: Luigi opines, "You've been a good brother, Mario," after the pair are concerned by Yoshi and a Wiggler.
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: Once the Yoshis are de-hypnotized, Bowser flees inside his wedding cake. As if on cue, the Yoshis {{spoiler|start eating the cake until it topples}}.
* [[Least
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Mario, you have your moments; particularly when it comes to [[I Will Protect Her|saving the Princess]].
* [[Lie to The Beholder]]: The "Toad" who kicks Mario squarely in the nose is actually Bowser.
Line 137:
* [[MacGuffin Melee]]: Yoshi and Luigi leading the Koopalings on a merry chase for the jail cell keys.
* [[Medium Awareness]]: When Bowser zaps the Toads, their [[Speech Bubbles]] gets turned to stone, too; The letters "WAAA!" lie scattered on the lawn.
** As the Princess tumbles from the tower, Mario and Luigi peek out from beneath the "[["Find Out Next Time!"|Tune in next month]]" bubble to comment that she's stealing the spotlight.
* [[Merchandise-Driven]]: The comic closely depicts a variety of gameplay mechanics from then-recent [[Killer App]] ''[[Super Mario World (Video Game)|Super Mario World]]''. The comic is still ''done well'', but still made people also want to play the game. [[Tropes Are Not Bad|Not that anyone minded]].
* [[Missed Him By That Much]]: On his bullet ride to Wendy's castle, Mario passes the Princess shooting toward the ground with the cape. D'oh.
Line 153:
** Charge! Let's '''CRASH''' this wedding!"
** [[Schiff One-Liner]]: "Piece o' cake."
* [[Off-Model]]: Mostly [[Averted Trope|averted]]! Perhaps the most glaring exception are Bowser's eyes being [[Blue Eyes|blue]] instead of [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red]], but this was entirely forgivable at the time -- Bowser's eyes were blue in official artwork up to ''[[Super Mario Bros 3 (Video Game)|Super Mario Bros 3]]'', but had only changed to become red since ''[[Super Mario World (Video Game)|Super Mario World]]''. Bowser in this comic used a slightly outdated blue-eyed model. The change to red eyes was still a new one, and Nintendo itself didn't seem absolutely certain about sticking with it for the next few years -- for example, later games like ''[[Video Game/Yoshis Safari|Yoshis Safari]]'' still had him with blue eyes. Red eyes didn't become his decided iconic look until ''[[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|Super Mario 64]]''.
* [[Oh Crap]]: "The fuse!"
** The heroes realizing they're stuck in the Koopa Kingdom.
Line 161:
* [[Patrick Stewart Speech]]: Mario proceeds to comfort the Big Boo, telling him that his frustrations are nothing in the vast universe. Mario then requests that the Big Boo tell them how to reach Bowser's Castle, claiming "I want to tell the Koopa King about the wonderful universe too."
{{quote| '''Luigi:''' <small>(He's taking [[Lost in Character|this psychology stuff]] a little too far...)</small>}}
* [[Pokémon
* [[Prisoner Exchange]]: An [[Inverted Trope|accidental]] one.
* [[Prisoner of Zenda Exit]]: When the Koopalings have her cornered, the Princess uses a cape ''Super Mario World'' style and soars harmlessly across the moat.
Line 176:
'''Luigi''': [[Operation Blank|Code Name: Survival]]. }}
* [[Slave Race]]: Bowser's "best hypnotist" tames [[Mass Hypnosis|the entire Yoshi population]] into dragging along his [[The Lord of the Rings|Isengard]]-sized cake.
* [[Shout
* [[Sissy Villain]]: After trapping the Mario Bros. in ~Big Boo's Haunt~, [[Evil Gloating|Bowser gloats]] by saying he can get back to planning his wedding... [http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g57/baramosnet/Page69.gif and then skips off like a little girl].
* [[Slapstick]]: Abundant.
Line 188:
* [[Stay in The Kitchen]]: Bowser offers this to the Princess as though it were a selling point.
{{quote| "Come on, sweetcakes, we'll make a great pair! '''I''' can do the ruling while '''you''' style your hair!" ♪}}
* [[Stop Helping Me!]]: Mario tries to "save" Luigi (the Wiggler isn't attacking him) by stomping on it, which causes the king caterpillar to [[Turns Red|Turn Red]]. Thanks.
* [[Taken for Granite]]: Bowser announces he'll be back in two weeks to see if the Princess accepts his proposal. And to make the deal go a little more his way, he proclaims that if the answer is "no," all her people will be turned to stone, [[Make an Example of Them|giving her a demo]] on the Toads nearest him! This echoes the backstory of the original ''[[Super Mario Bros (Video Game)|Super Mario Bros]].''
* [[Taking You With Me]]: Peach threatens the Koopas with a bomb and a match, telling them to stay back. Wendy, though, calls her bluff, reminding Peach that she'll blow up, too. "My sacrifice will be worth it," the Princess chirps, with smiling stars and sunshine in the background. "[[Evil Will Fail|And, as always, good will triumph over Koopa-dom!]]"
