Line 38: * [[Bash Brothers]]: To an art form. * [[Beam Spam]] / [[Bullet Hell]]: Inverted. With very few exceptions, the more projectiles used in a given attack, the less effectiveness that attack will have. Heroes and villains alike casually wade through a sea of beams or hammers without a scratch, but single projectile attacks nearly always hit. * [[Big Freaking Gun\|BFG]]: Axem Red's secret weapon. [[The Worf Barrage\|It doesn't work.]] On a larger scale, [[Wave Motion Gun\|the Omega Doomship Main Energy Cannon in Episode 8]]. Between the two sits the Breaker Beam. Back in Super Mario RPG, it might, oh, take half your HP or so. But when Axem Red hooks up a Chaos Emerald, it ''levels the mountains on Yoshi's Island from a single shot''. That didn't stop Mecha Sonic, though... Line 52: * [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: {{quote\|'''Frankly:''' ...And you better listen, too. YEAH, YOU! Behind the computer monitor! You need to hear this as well!}} : This is actually more of a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)\|Paper Mario 2: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', where Frankly uses an identical phrase during an exposition session in the game. : Goombella mentions no one would remember the first "Over 9000" joke, since it was made a year and a half earlier. * [[Bullet Time]]: Mario, Sonic, and Mecha Sonic do this a lot. Particularly notable in Episode 7, where Sonic and Mecha Sonic are fighting so fast that Mario appears to stand still. * [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]]: ''Mario'' evokes this. See [[What the Hell, Hero?]], below. Line 62: * [[Canon Foreigner]]: {{spoiler\|Mecha Mario}}, Captain Basilisx. * [[Catapult Nightmare]]: Sonic. * [[~~Right~~Catch ~~Back~~and ~~At Ya~~Return]]: Yoshi with one of Mecha Sonic's missiles in Episode 7.▼ * [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Luigi's 1-Up mushroom; Professor Kolorado's Subconian stopwatch. ** The former looks ready to be fired again. As hopeless as everything looks, E. Gadd packed the heroes a 1-Up and Sonic won another one killing enemies... Line 134 ⟶ 135: * [[Face Fault]]: Several, including Sonic's death animation standing in for one. * [[The Faceless]]: {{spoiler\|Eggman}}, though it's obvious who it is... or maybe it's {{spoiler\|Nega-Eggman from the ''Sonic Rush'' games}}? The shadow may also hide the fact that he's the {{spoiler\|Robo-Robotnik from the Archie comics}}. * [[Family-Unfriendly Death]]: Mecha Sonic is the king of this. During the flashback showing him murdering Sonic's friends, each death is more brutal ~~then~~than the last: {{spoiler\|he snaps Tails' neck, [[More Dakka\|fills Cream (and Cheese) with lead]], beats down Knuckles and ''then'' fills him with lead, and what he did to Amy was probably just as bad. Nobody even ''knows'' how he killed Rouge, but if his trends are anything to go by it probably wasn't pretty.}} Then there's his gruesome killing of the Axem Rangers. It's really saying something when being completely vaporized down to the last atom is the ''tamest'' death of a battle, although compared to ''decapitating Axem Green's head and then crushing it in his hand''... anything is tame. Somewhat subverted with the death of the Koopa Bros. which is not directly shown, but highly implied. Line 220 ⟶ 221: ** The Koopalings, too. * [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]]: Mario and Basilisx, done with hammers and [[Wolverine Claws]]. * [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20131102205709/http://smbz.wikia.com/wiki/Episode_9 according to] [[The Wiki Rule\|the SMBZ Wiki]], a [[Real Life]] problem ended up making Alvin Earthworm put the series on hiatus. He had later resumed work on Episode 9, but ultimately decided that [https://web.archive.org/web/20131014055748/http://alvin-earthworm.newgrounds.com/news/post/701821 he no longer had the motivation to continue the series.] * [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Shadow, Basilisx. * [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Shadow's the red oni to Sonic's blue. ▲* [[Right Back At Ya]]: Yoshi with one of Mecha Sonic's missiles in Episode 7. * [[Robot Me]]: Mecha Sonic and {{spoiler\|Mecha Mario}}. * [[Rule of Cool]]: This series runs on this Trope. For example, Yoshi alone arguably puts up as good as, if not a better fight against Mecha Sonic than Mario and Sonic combined. Line 233: {{quote\|'''Kolorado:''' I hate to break it to you, Goombella, but that joke had been done in the [[Breaking the Fourth Wall\|previous episode]]. '''Goombella:''' Aw, come on, Professor! [[Lampshade Hanging\|That episode was released, like, a year and a half ago!]] [[Fleeting Demographic Rule\|No one's going to remember what happened in it!]] }} : And then a 12-month gap between 7 and 8. This has been attributed to [[Creator Breakdown]], though. : There has now been a full 2-''year'' gap between the 8th and 9th episodes. : Friendly advice to fans of the series: ''Do not ask when the next episode is coming out.'' Alvin hates this and it lowers his motivation to work on the show. * [[Shock and Awe]]: Luigi with his Thunderhand ability. That hasn't been used yet, has it? In chapter 8, he just electrocuted himself on a computer in E. Gadd's lab... Line 244: Not to forget ''Futurama'': {{quote\|'''Sonic:''' Bite my.... spiney... blue... butt.}} : In an attempt to get out of exploring a potentially-scary area, Luigi tries to leave, putting a cardboard cut-out of himself in his place. Said cut-out is Weegee (aka the memetic mutated version of him seen in ''Mario is Missing''). : Some of Mecha Sonic's abilities appear to be based on [[Metroid\|Samus Aran]], and [[Leitmotif\|the music played before he appears]] was originally used for the same purpose for Dark Samus. : The [[Spoiler Opening\|spoileriffic anime-style opening]] uses the second opening theme for ''[[Mega Man NT Warrior]]''. This is a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[TV Tome Adventures]]'', which also used that song for its opening. : Ludwig von Koopa calls Bowser "King Dad", a reference to the ''Super Mario Bros.'' cartoons. : A musical [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' is used when Mario gets the silver Emerald, immediately [[Lampshaded]] by Professor Kolorado: {{quote\|'''Kolorado:''' Uh, Mario... I think that's [[Breaking the Fourth Wall\|the wrong video game series]], old bean... [''Cue [[Face Fault]]'']}} : The sound effect Kolorado's stopwatch makes is [[Chrono Trigger\|Lavos' roar]]. : In Episode 8, a shout out is made to ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', when the characters find a letter which Bowser wrote almost word-for-word as in that same game (including a crossed out portion about hotels), with an instruction book containing [[Lampshade Hanging\|a lampshading]] and the terms for Peach's release included! : Episode 8 also features a shout out to ''[[Zero Wing]]'' "Main Screen Turn On" and also a ''[[Star Trek]]'' shout out with the minion who "jus' cayn't" push the stuck button to the Omega Doomship's BFG. : Basilisx owes a lot to [[X-Men\|Wolverine's]] moveset in the ''[[Capcom vs. Whatever]]'' series. :* As does Axem Red's aformentioned [[BFG]], which was lovingly ripped from [[Iron Man\|Iron Man's]] moveset. : Another one from Episode 8 comes from Basilisx's final attack on Mario after the Poison Mushroom attack. It looks exactly like Vega's Ultra Special from ''[[Street Fighter]] IV'', "Bloody High Claw". :* Not to mention Sonic doing the Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku, from the same series, several times. Also, Mario doing the Shoryuu Reppa in Episode 8. : {{spoiler\|Robotnik}} [[Neon Genesis Evangelion\|holding his hands in front of his face, with his glasses shining.]] : There's a shout out to both [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8MDNFaGfT4 Peanut Butter Jelly Time] and ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' when Wario and Waluigi are exploring the Pipe Maze in Episode 7. They go down a pipe that Mario and friends just went down into. They try to go down the pipe when the PBJT Banana comes out, yelling out "I LIKE CEREAL!!!" It results in a massive explosion that makes Wario and Waluigi crash into the two main characters from ''[[Bowser's Kingdom]]'' (a now-canceled flash series made by one of Alvin-Earthworm's friends), Hal and Jeff. : The song played on Episode 8 during the argument comes from ''[[Skies of Arcadia]]''. It's the song played when you enter Valua City. : When {{spoiler\|Toadsworth collapses because of Peach's kidnapping}}, a [[Scare Chord]] plays. [[Mortal Kombat\|Guess which one.]] : [[Zero Wing\|"Main Screen turn on." "We get signal."]] : A Mook with a thick Scottish accent says he can't fire the main cannon, [[Star Trek\|as he doesn't have enough power]]. : And, for that matter, the Koopa Bros being "King B's [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles\|ninja heroes in a half shell]]" : Wario using Waluigi to get to Yoshi's Island (as a life preserver) might be a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga\|Superstar Saga]], where Luigi is used as a surfboard, more or less. : While we're on the topic, the situation on Mobius ( {{spoiler\|most main heroes dead, the end of the world being imminent}}) smacks of the Trunks's future in DBZ. : I'm probably stretching this, but one Koopa Bro (I think it might have been Red, ironically...) spouts the "Smell ya later!" line, after their first encounter with the main team, a la [[Pokémon Red and Blue\|Gary Oak/Blue/Green/whatever.]] : Semi-Super Mecha Sonic's response to Red's "[[You Monster!]]" remark is a direct paraphrase to Broly's infamous "I am the Devil" line. : During Mecha-Sonic's [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] of the Axem Rangers, he quotes [[Final Fantasy I\|Garland]]. [[Dissidia\|"I'll crush you!"]] : Basilisx's underhanded tactics, especially using loved ones as a shield, mirror those of Eis Shenron in ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]''. * [[Spoiler Opening]]: The [[Anime Theme Song\|anime-style opening]] was released after Episode 6. A number of characters appeared in it that hadn't shown up in the series at that time. That includes the Koopalings, {{spoiler\|Eggman}}, {{spoiler\|Wart}}, and {{spoiler\|the Star Spirits and Twink}}. * [[Sssssnaketalk]]: Basilisx. Line 307: Here's the full quote, with [[Sssssnaketalk\|enlongated "s" sounds]] edited out: {{quote\|"So, it ends. And I am the last one standing. (''Mario tries to get up'') You sniveling pedlar. You have no right to be angry that I used your friend to my advantage, especially when you did the exact same thing with my friend's shell against him and his comrades that day. I couldn't even mourn him properly because he was burnt to cinders. Well, I'll make sure no one will be able to mourn you properly either. Your disgusting hypocrisy will vanish along with your hopes. Think about my words after I toss your severed head into your grave!"}} ::* Of course, granted, whether Mario actually did this or not is debatable, as the koopa friend that Basilisx mentioned was "koopa #3 in Room 2 in Bowser's Castle", of which Room 2 doesn't even contain lava, and the only koopas in there are crawling on wire panels over a spiked pit. *:: Alvin Earthworm confirmed he didn't bother researching, and only did this to state a random Koopa Mario never heard of before. * [[The Wiki Rule]]: [http://smbz.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Mario_Bros._Z_Wiki Goongala!] * [[Wolverine Claws]]: Basilisx. Cue [[Wolverine Publicity]].
