'''''Stupid Mario Brothers''''' is a relatively popular [[YouTube]] show hosted on [http://www.youtube.com/user/Richalvarez Richalvarez]'s channel. It is independently made by a group of friends who also made [[Youtube News]] which guest starred in Act I of the Movie and hosted the [[Election Night|Mushroom Kingdom Election]] between Mario and Wario. {{spoiler|[[Dark Horse Victory|Ash]] wins unexpectedly}}.
 
The show features a [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] of many [[Nintendo]] characters, as well as a few from from other franchises. It places them in the real world, where they can do anything from playing their own game to saving the entire world.
Line 13 ⟶ 14:
* [[Action Girl]]: Mona
* [[Acting for Two]]: Every actor has played more than one character.
* [[Adaptational Jerkass]]: Has several examples, all [[Played for Laughs]]:
* [[A Good Name for a Rock Band]]: X and the Ys version with Johnny Mushroom and the Kingdoms.
** Far from the happy-go-lucky hero of the games, Mario here is a selfish [[Lazy Bum]] who does such things as refuse to cut his vacation short to rescue Peach from Bowser again, on top of {{spoiler|stealing Snake's FOXDIE prescription chocolates to woo Pauline}}.
** Along with Wario's short lived band Tommy Fungus and the Dungeons.
** Princess Peach of the game series is a [[Nice Girl]] through and through. ''This'' Peach is a whiny, nagging [[Spoiled Brat]].
* [[April Fools' Day]]: Episode 55 was delayed for two weeks, replaced with a video PSA about smoking {{spoiler|by Snake}}.
** The same thing was repeated with Episode 68 only with a skit featuring Julian (Snake) and Austin (Brock) where Julian plays [[Resident Evil 4]]. Richard hilarious lampshaded the fact people fell for it the second time around.
Line 23 ⟶ 25:
** Wario and Waluigi do a few of these in the finale.
* [[Back for the Finale]]: Everyone except Ash, Daisy, Peach, Otacon and a handful of other characters returns for Season 5. {{spoiler|Link in particular makes one last appearance in the final episode}}.
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: Almost every villain. And it's lampshaded every time. The most notable example so far is a comment made by Snake to Blaire Vherestorm in Season 5:
{{quote|Snake: You were dead, you came back. Vercetti was dead, he came back. What's the point of killing you if you're just gonna come back?}}
* [[Back Stab]]: Practically a theme
Line 139 ⟶ 141:
* [[Good Colours Evil Colours]]: Mario and Wario's beam swords being originally blue and red made this clear (although they would later get beam swords that have their own colour)
** Naturally Bowser, Darkness, Decious and Ganon have evil colours.
* [[A Good Name for a Rock Band]]: X and the Ys version with Johnny Mushroom and the Kingdoms.
** Along with Wario's short lived band Tommy Fungus and the Dungeons.
* [[Gotta Catch Em All]]: Ash and Brock's main intention with Pokémon. They're based more on their original characterization in the early episodes of the anime than anything else.
** And collecting the [[Dismantled MacGuffin|Nether Emblems]].
Line 170 ⟶ 174:
** Mario himself has even shown this throughout the show, but it shows up most prominently in Season 4.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]:
** {{spoiler|Link. [[Back Fromfrom the Dead|It's not permanent.]]}}
** Pauline, which surprised most people. But it was intended to be [[Death as Comedy]]. But then Ganon resurrected her.
* [[Language of Magic]]: {{spoiler|the counter curse in Act 2 Part 6 of [[The Movie]]}}
Line 260 ⟶ 264:
** Wario's new costume is his biker outfit from ''[[Wario Ware]]''.
* Episode 27's [[Hong Kong Dub]] is this to [[Kung Pow]].
** To [[The Lord of the Rings]]
{{quote|'''Link:''' You can have my sword and shield.
'''Peach:''' And you have my umbrella.
'''Donkey Kong:''' And you have my fists.
'''Ash and Brock:''' [[Double Entendre|AND YOU CAN HAVE OUR BALLS!]]<br />
[[Beat]] <br />
'''Ash:''' Poké Balls, that is.... }}
** Plus from Season 5:
Line 292 ⟶ 296:
* [[Super Mode]]: Like in the games, Mario + Fire Flower = Fire Mario
* [[Taking You with Me]]: In their second fight, Liquid {{spoiler|shoots Snake after being shot himself}} while calling out this trope by name, but {{spoiler|fails as Snake was wearing a bulletproof vest.}}
* [[TalkingInner to ThemselfDialogue]]: The actors are all the main actors' friends. This leaves them with a lot of doubling up.
* [[Terrible Interviewees Montage]]: Mario and Luigi suffer this while trying to start the band in Season 1.
* [[That Man Is Dead]]: {{spoiler|Luigi is dead! But Mr L has just been born!}}
Line 303 ⟶ 307:
* [[Toilet Humour]]: Quite a bit. While [[Justified]] by the source material (as Wario has a fart attack), it is disliked by several fans. This caused a funny [[Take That]] by Julian (Snake) over the forums:
{{quote|If you guys hate toilet humor, then you're going to hate the next episode when I eat poop and smear it on my face while throwing it at Mario's face and then swimming in a diarrhea fountain.}}
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Mario in "The Interactive Adventure." He then Lampshades this.
{{quote|'''Mario:''' Hmm. I can't believe I just did that. I'm supposed to be a fun loving video game character. Oh well!.}}
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: Link makes the Mario Bros. endure rigorous training in order to be ready to fight {{spoiler|Nox Decious}}
** Subverted in that it amounts to {{spoiler|them playing [[Super Smash Bros.]]}}, but Mario and Luigi react as if the trope were played straight.
* [[Training Montage]]:
Line 312 ⟶ 316:
* [[Turned Against Their Masters]]: The Darkness against Decious.
* [[Two-Act Structure]]: The Movie.
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: Ash often uses terms or "Pokéswears," like "son of a Bulbasaur". He uses it so much it's close to being an Internet [[MeMemetic MeMutation|meme]].
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** Link was originally played by someone else (the voice at the end of Season 1) but he was unavailable for Season 2.
** Christian (Ryu) could've played Kid Icarus in Season 2
** Julian (Snake) was a big fan of [[Resident Evil 4]] and wanted to be Leon in the show.
** Dane was given the option of playing [[EarthboundEarthBound|Ness]] or Ash. He chose Ash cause he loved Pokémon. Too bad it didn't last.
** Richard (Mario and co-creator) during Season 1 almost wrote several episodes that took place before Mario's very first trip to the Mushroom Kingdom, where he was a normal teenager working part time at a plumbing company, and where Merlin opens the portal to the Mushroom Kingdom and gives him his hat. However he and Chris (Luigi and co-creator) decided that is was too much backstory for a comedy show.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]:
Line 328 ⟶ 332:
* [[Word of Saint Paul]]: Kevin Chamberlain (Yoshi) owns a youtube account [http://www.youtube.com/user/KTChamberlain here] where he often does a series called History of Stupid Mario Brothers (inspired by [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara's]] [[History of Power Rangers]]) which shows his own opinion on the show and confirms several things in real life that Richie hasn't.
* [[Word of God]]:
** The creators and actors tend to go on the [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20170706114127/http://stupidmariobrosfansite.freeforums.org/ Fan Forums] to answer fan's questions. A fan should be warned they don't go on as much as they used to, although Season 4 has already contained characters suggested by fans and now fans are bombarding them with villains for Season 5.
** Chris (Luigi) started a show called Wiki Weegee answering fans questions. This is his channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/SilverShadow721
* [[World of Ham]]
