Stupid Mario Brothers/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • And the Fandom Rejoiced: Season Four's coming! Donkey Kong's back! Pauline and Max Payne have joined! Brock and Waluigi will return! Wario willl return to being a Large Ham! YES!
    • Season 5 has Bowser returning! Ganondorf coming into the story! Promise of epic battles between three armies including Ninjas and Pirates (two of which are evil)! Pauline and Blaire are resurrected!
  • Non Sequitur Scene: Most of Act 1 of The Movie is this trope
    • The Mr. Puzzler short at the beginning of Season 3
    • The dancing montage in Episode 8. Which got lampshaded of course.
  • Cargo Ship: The Printer Shop Manager/Printer
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: Act 2 Part 6 of the movie: Wario vs The Darkness round 2
    • Season 2's Intro
  • Ear Worm: Chris and Matt singing the Carmen Sandiego theme in the bloopers of Episode 53.
  • Family-Unfriendly Aesop: "School is for Slow-Pokes!"
    • This is somewhat subverted as Brock managed to actually complete Reffing School as of Season 4 with Honours.
  • Fan Nickname: The Darkness is referred to as Shadow Mario (no relation to Bowser Jr)
  • Fountain of Memes: From the bloopers alone!
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: In Episode 7, after reading Bowser's letter, Mario says (in relation to Bowser's mention of eating a goomba), "Imagine being in Bowser's digestive system!" Coincidentally, one and a half years after this episode was released (which was 2008), the game Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story was released (in 2009), in which the brothers spend most of the game traversing Bowser's body.
  • Ho Yay: Ryu and Ken it got hilariously taken Up to Eleven in their park scene in Season 5.
    • Wario and Waluigi also.
  • Hype Backlash: Season 5 to an extent. It left Richard really upset as he believed he had wrote the best season ever for the finale and having read the negative reviews really bought him down.
  • I Knew It!: Wario being the second Chosen One was one of the main theories of the fans
  • Memetic Mutation: "I roll with gangs!", "20 Dollars!", "Son of a Bulbasaur"
  • Narm: The blood effects used in one of the later season 3 episodes may come off as a childishly gratuitous attempt at Darker and Edgier. The creators may have realized this, because for some reason future fight scenes lack this effect.
    • Then in the finale, it is revealed Mario was significantly weaker during that fight.
  • Nostalgia Filter: The "Good Video Games" song from the movie.
  • Painful Rhyme: "I'm Wario! I'm a really awesome fellow! I'm mean, I'm bad and I'm yellow!"
  • Special Effects Failure: Coconut's human form Sage is played by a different actor despite being voiced by Richard. Cue slightly bad lip syncing
  • The Woobie: Most characters including UPS and Scott Masterson.
