Super Mario (franchise)/Fridge: Difference between revisions

** Mama Mia!

* An example from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' that probably borders on [[Stealth Pun]]: In course one, Mario encounters a character called Koopa the Quick who will race him for a [[MacGuffin|Power Star]]. At one point he randomly walks off a cliff to take a shortcut to the finish. This seems utterly pointless and random, until you think back to the days of ''[[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Super Mario Bros]]''. What was the defining character trait of green-shelled Koopas again? Probably unintentional, but still funny in a weird way. -Edofenrir

* For a while, even though he's now my favorite character, I thought the Speedo on Petey Piranha was a pretty silly idea. But then I realized that his first game was ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', which was on an island, and it suddenly made perfect sense! It then also made me realize why he has a reggae theme for ''Mario Strikers Charged''. - [[Tropers/Zooty Cutie|Zooty Cutie]]

* Have you ever wondered why you fight giant Bowser after you beat Bowser in most games? This troper found an explanation in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. Every time Bowser is nearly dead, Mario and Luigi help make him turn giant. I think that it usually works on its own, but Bowser inhaling most of the kingdom probably messed it up. - insanekirby
