=== The Super Mario Bros. movie provides examples of: ===
* [[
** Played straight with the brothers van.
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: To be fair, as this movie was being written, the Super Mario Bros. series didn't have much story or defined personalities for the characters outside of the various cartoon series or somewhat obscure comics. Because of this the writers decided to write the story from the angle of a prequel, exploring ''how'' the Mario Bros. became the '''Super''' Mario Bros. In the process Mario and Luigi were given an older brother/younger brother dynamic/conflict and Koopa was provided a motivation for needing the Princess.
Line 60:
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Iggy and Spike}}.
** {{spoiler|They claimed to have always been the royal family's "loyal supporters", but who knows if it's true.}}
* [[He's Got a Weapon!]]: "It's a BOB-OMB!" "HE'S GOT A BOB-OMB!"
* [[Hoist By His Own Petard]]: Koopa is defeated with his own devo guns.
** Also, Lena ends up literally fossilized by the very power she tried to use to merge dimensions.
* [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]: Between Koopa and Daisy, though Lena gets in on it a bit as well.
* [[If Jesus, Then Aliens]]
* [[In Name Only]]
* [[Jump Scare]]: A surprisingly effective one when {{spoiler|the Tyrannosaurus lunges out}}.
Line 75:
* [[A Nazi By Any Other Name]]: Brief moment when Simon passes another cop in the hallway, who raises his arm in a salute and says "Hail Koopa."
* [[No Ontological Inertia]]: The King suddenly turns back to normal without the need of re-evolution as soon as Koopa is defeated.
* [[Off
* [[Orphan's Plot Trinket]]: Princess Daisy wears a meteorite fragment around her neck that she never takes off since it was the only thing left with her when she was left in the human world. The meteorite fragment is the one thing Koopa needs to orchestrate his takeover of our world. Earlier scripts indicate the metallic egg was also necessary for Koopa's plan to merge the dimensions.
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]: One of the few Mario media that averts it and shows Mario and Luigi actually plumbing.
Line 90:
** Luigi going the wrong way.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: Daisy dressed as [[Alien (Film)|Ripley]]. According to writer Parker Bennett, this was literally lifted from ''[[Back to The Future]]''.
* [[Shout
** A bar is called "Rex". A guy is selling Tweeters in hot dog buns.
* [[Smelly Skunk]]: A skunk appears in the brief animated portion of opening credits for no reason.
