Line 13 ⟶ 12:
* [[Adorable Evil Minions]]: Cat Goombas are ''so cute!'' Goombas already have a bit of [[Ugly Cute]] appeal going for them, but when they're fuzzy, scamper around, and ''meow'' when they dive from high places, you'll find yourself wishing you could cuddle with them instead of squish them.
** Ant Troopers are also pretty cute, since they're round and chubby ants with adorably big yellow eyes. Ditto for Blocksteppers, which are tiny cubical [[The Legend of Zelda|Octorok]]-looking things with big hats that constantly march while chanting in high-pitched voices. When you kill one, the way the rest of them flip out and run around in a panic makes them even cuter.
* [[Autobots Rock Out]]: All of Bowser's boss fights are set to blaring electric guitars.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, and {{spoiler|Rosalina}} make all kinds of cute cat sounds when they're wearing the Cat Suit, and they're still undeniable ass-kickers. Even {{spoiler|Bowser}} gets in on this {{spoiler|when he uses a Super Bell to become Meowser, a fluffy cat/tiger/lion/turtle who is still a threatening foe despite how goofy he looks.}}
* [[Big Bad]]: Who else but Bowser?
* [[Big Band]]: This is the theme of the game's OST: most songs are very swanky and upbeat, often accompanied by tons of brass.
* [[Big Boo's Haunt]]: Shifty Boo Mansion, Spooky Seasick Wreck, and A Beam In The Dark are all haunted levels that are crawling with Boos and Peepas. {{spoiler|The first also gets remixed into the harder Shiftier Boo Mansion.}}
* [[The Bus Came Back]]: Several Mario enemies finally return after long absences: Chargin' Chucks and Galoombas from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', and Bullies from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.
* [[Cat Girl]]: Princess Peach {{spoiler|and Rosalina}} become this with the Cat Suit power up. Not fanservicey, but still adorable.
* [[Cool Car]]: The [[Fan Nickname|Pimpmobile]], Bowser's badass and stylish looking car that he uses for his first two boss fights.
* [[Cute Giant]]: Plessie's a downplayed example: he isn't enormous, but he's still big enough for all four characters to comfortably ride on. And as far as cuteness goes? He's basically a big Yoshi mixed with a Plesiosaur, and you can make him giggle by petting him like a puppy. Aww...
* [[Cute Monster Girl]]: Pom Pom returns from ''3D Land'', and is still incredibly adorable. She's even packing some new ninja skills to boot!
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Since Peach hasn't been kidnapped for once, you're tasked with saving seven adorable Sprixie Princesses who Bowser has locked away in giant bottles.
* [[Difficult but Awesome]]: Toad's not as good at jumping as everyone else and his high speed can lead to him zooming off of platforms and cliffs to his death, but once you've gotten a hang for how his physics work, he can clear levels in no time flat and is even officially considered by Nintendo to be the perfect speed-runner character.
* {{spoiler|[[Disc One Final Dungeon]]}}: {{spoiler|While Mario veterans might not be fooled by World Castle's presentation as the supposed last world, it does make for a convincing fakeout: not only is the world map a lava-filled hellhole, but Bowser's Castle looks just as imposing as the [[Definitely Final Dungeon]] versions in other games, like the preceding ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''.}}
* [[Dual Boss]]: King and Queen Hisstocrat will fight you together during the game's [[Boss Rush]].
* [[Egopolis]]: {{spoiler|The final world is a theme park called World Bowser.}}
* [[Fake Longevity]]: If you want ''every'' single stamp in order to beat the game 100%, then buckle up: You need to beat every stage with ''every character''. Oh, and {{spoiler|one of those characters, Rosalina, isn't even available until the postgame, so replaying levels at least once even in multiplayer is inevitable.}}
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: When Mario and friends jump in the clear pipe that takes them to the Sprixie Kingdom, Peach is in the lead which leaves Mario staring ''right up her dress''.
* [[Jiggle Physics]]: Peach and {{spoiler|Rosalina}}. No, not in [[Gainax Bounce|THAT]] way, but their dresses have a very visible bounciness to them.
* [[King Mook]]: A lot of the bosses are this: you've got Boss Brolder, King Ka-Thunk, Prince Bully, and the Hisstocrats. Though in the case of the Hisstocrats, their smaller snake henchmen are only fought alongside them, and King Ka-Thunk is weird for being the [[King Mook]] to faceless obstacles as opposed to proper enemies.
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: During the credits, a miserable Bowser can be seen stuffed into the same jars he had trapped the Sprixie Princesses in.
* [[Lethal Lava Land]]: The world map for World Castle as a whole is this, and as far as specific levels go, you've got Fort Fire Bros, Grumblump Inferno, and Boss Brolder's Castle among others.
* [[Level Ate]]: There are several levels made entirely out of delicious desserts, such as Cookie Cogworks and Cakewalk Flip.
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: {{spoiler|Instead of a [[Mordor]]-style wasteland full of lava pits, the final world is a bright and colorful amusement park lit up by tons of dazzling neon lights.}}
* [[Me's a Crowd]]: The Double Cherry power up, which will create clones of whoever you're playing as that will mimic your behavior. Pom Pom and Boom Boom will also create fake copies of themselves during their boss fights, but it's easy to see right through them and attack the genuine article.
* [[Monster Clown]]: Motley Bossblob, who looks like a Koopaling that took up a life as a jester. He's fairly adorable, at least until he surrounds himself in liquid metal shaped like a fat, malevolent clown.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: {{spoiler|Meowser, which is the name of the tiger form Bowser takes after using a Super Bell for the final boss fight. Along with Bowser's usual abilities such as fire breath and super strength, Meowser has the acrobatic capabilities of Cat Mario and friends and will chase you all over his tower by running across its walls. And when you're halfway close to beating him, he grabs a Double Cherry and sends clones of himself after you.}}
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: The Goomba Head power up simply has the character you're playing as wear a (admittedly, convincing) Goomba head that does nothing to disguise their legs. Goombas however are always fooled by it, even with Peach {{spoiler|or Rosalina}}'s obvious dress poking out from beneath it.
* [[Promoted to Playable]]: Captain Toad goes from NPC to playable character in this game, though only in special levels that are more puzzle-oriented than the ones in the main game.
* [[Shout-Out]]: When Bowser kidnaps the Green Sprixie Princess, he stuffs her in a bottle the way Link does with fairies in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''. He even does the same pose when he's showing her off! And like the fairies in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Wind Waker]]'', she looks miserable.
* [[Tennis Boss]]: Or rather, ''Soccer'' Boss: during his first two boss fights, Bowser tosses exploding soccer balls at you that you'll have to kick back at him.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: {{spoiler|Along with Rosalina, Octoombas return from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and they're a lot harder to deal with. Remember how they were basically alien Goombas? Yeah, now they're not only ''immune'' to jumps, but they're immune to most forms of attack and can only be beaten with a ground pound. They're also a lot more aggressive, making them [[Demonic Spiders]] in the game's brutal bonus levels.}}
