Line 3:
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: [[Super Mario Bros (Franchise)/Nightmare Fuel|Has a lot of it]].
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Of the [[Tear Jerker]] variety.
** Also Mario (and Luigi) himself: Mario is a ruthless [[One -Man Army]] killing anything in his path, not caring if his foes WANT to hurt him or not, captures countless lands, and basically waged a war against a rivaling kingdom with many casualties on their side, just to rescue a princess.
*** Although even the enemies who don't pursue Mario if he jumps over them (instead of on them) would still hurt him ''if'' they touched him, so it's not clear whether they don't want to hurt him or they do but they're incompetent.
*** And also, kidnapping another country's regent wouldn't signify an act of war?
Line 9:
** Peach and Bowser have the 'kidnapping' thing going on to make money, since only Mario and Luigi can get coins out of those blocks.
*** Or Bowser's feelings toward Peach are actually mutual.
** Cracked had a lot of fun with the interpretation that Bowser is actually in love with Peach but bad at expressing it, Peach has conflicting feelings and notably never denies being the ''mother'' of Bowser Jr when Bowser claims she is. Bowser is also a [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]], who captures the Yoshis because they're an ecological menace (they eat ''anything''), until he finds time to find a permanent solution to the crisis, due to the fact he ''captures'' them, rather than killing them. He also the only person capable of ruling the land as he has time to build, maintain and run seven castles simultaneously, manages to conquer and subdivide the lands into more effective zones ''and'' find time to kidnap Peach. He's essentally keeps trying to perform a [[Benevolent Alien Invasion]] but it keeps getting screwed up by Mario... which, by the way, where ''was'' he while Bowser was doing this anyway?
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]/[[Ear Worm]]: [[Koji Kondo]] and others have composed many memorable tunes for the series. See [[Super Mario Bros (Franchise)/Awesome Music|here]] for more details.
* [[Base Breaker]]: Waluigi. Oh dear, Waluigi...
Line 64:
** Daisy for some. Aside from the fact she technically only uses the line in a few games, her "Hi, I'm Daisy!" quote has become something of an online meme for her character. This is also regardless of the fact Mario characters are all known for shouting annoying one-liners, so it's likely a case of bandwagon.
*** Her Baby counterpart takes it [[Up to Eleven]] in annoyance. If only because there has never been a Baby version of her, and just putting her ''again'' in the game makes it worse. Being there for a simple counterpart to Baby Peach doesn't help matters either.
** Waluigi also has his own share of haters. He's never been featured in a non-spinoff Mario game, so he has no real place in canon, and hardcore fans generally dislike the [[ItsIt's Popular, Now It Sucks|Mario spinoffs]] to begin with. However, thanks to [[Brawl in The Family (Webcomic)|alternate]] [[Alternate Character Interpretation|character interpretation]], getting some [[Good Troi Episode|good]] [[Best Level Ever|stages]] and [[Crowning Music of Awesome|themes]] to his name, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and getting his character taken in an overall]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilarious]] [[Butt Monkey|direc]][[Trickster Archetype|tion]], he's been somewhat [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]] and become a [[Base Breaker]] [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] in his own right, enough for people to actually [[Ruined FOREVER|get mad]] when he didn't appear in ''[[Mario Kart|Mario Kart 7]]''.
** Rosalina and the Koopalings have started to become this due to their insane fanbase,
** Despite her [[Distressed Damsel|vital]] role (or maybe [[Damsel Scrappy|because of it]]), PRINCESS PEACH has started to become this. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY9sNzZ7Uyg This video will explain].
Line 78:
** [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Bowser is shown in this light in the RPGs barring ''[[Paper Mario (Video Game)|Paper Mario]]'', but especially ''[[Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story (Video Game)|Bowser's Inside Story]].''
* [[Woolseyism]]: The first ''[[Super Mario RPG (Video Game)|Mario]]'' [[Super Mario RPG (Video Game)|RPG]] was translated by [[Final Fantasy VI|Ted]] [[Trope Namer|Woolsey]] himself. Since then, the ''[[Paper Mario (Video Game)|Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Mario and Luigi (Video Game)|Mario and Luigi]]'' series have done their localizations in a style not unlike Woolsey.
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]]: See World Of Chaos on the main page.
 
=== [[Super Mario Bros (Video Game)|The NES Game]] ===
Line 88:
 
=== [[Super Mario Bros (Animation)|The Cartoon Series]] ===
* [[Mondegreen]]: "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW9Kzwf6VkA Ohh]... [[Precision F -Strike|f**k]] you, Luigi!"
* [[So Bad ItsIt's Good]]: All three shows to some extent.
 
=== [[Super Mario Bros (Film)|The Film]] ===
Line 96:
** [[George Clinton]]'s cover of Was (Not Was)'s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=733O0xJDx8o "Walk the Dinosaur"], later [[Covered Up]] by Queen Latifah for ''[[Ice Age]]: Dawn of the Dinosaurs'', which [[Actor Allusion|coincidentally]] also featured John Leguizamo.
* [[Brick Joke]]: Attempted pretty clumsily. It starts with King Koopa ordering a pizza about halfway through the movie. Later, as he's about to prepare his Goomba army, he wonders what's taking his pizza so long. Finally, as he has cornered the Mario brothers in the climax, he gets a phone call from the pizza joint that his pizza has arrived.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Surprisingly enough, Koopa himself isn't this; that would be Lena, who doesn't give one shit about the safety of her own dimension in her zeal to merge it with Earth, and thus unlike Koopa she can't claim to be a [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]].
* [[Cult Classic]]: For any fan of the Mario series, this is a must-see. The [http://www.smbmovie.com/ Super Mario Bros. The Movie Archive] is a thriving fan community devoted to the movie that's even had exclusive interviews with members of the cast and crew.
* [[Ear Worm]]:
Line 115:
* [[Video Game Movies Suck]]: The [[Ur Example]] of this trope, YMMV on how much it sucks, or whether it even does. While many lament that it's so different from the games as to be [[In Name Only]], some people do enjoy it.
** A lot of people believe that if the movie wasn't named "Super Mario Bros.", but rather just a futuristic dystopic comedy, it would be given a little more slack.
*** If it was a futuristic dystopian comedy with no connection to the [[Super Mario Bros]] franchise, it would be [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]].
** [[Word of God]] stated that the movie was made to test whether or not a movie [[Ink Stain Adaptation|would do anything to the series's reputation]], be it positively or negatively.
* [[Visual Effects of Awesome]]: Much like ''Jurassic Park'', this film had to literally ''invent'' new technology to make much of its visual effects look as realistic as they do. Unfortunately, ''Jurassic Park's'' effects were a much more explicit focus, so it gets more attention for its influence on the industry.
