Not to be confused with the shows ''[[The Super Mario Bros Super Show]]'' or ''[[Super Mario World (animation)|Super Mario World]]''.

== ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' contains examples of: ==▼
* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: In "Super Koopa", Koopa is able to combine the Mario's powerups, something they can't do. At one point, he uses Raccoon, Fire, and Kuribo's Shoe all at once.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: According to the writers' bible for the series, King Koopa was apparently locked up in the Banishment Zone somewhere between ''[[The Super Mario Bros Super Show]]'' and this, but he escaped.
Line 13:
* [[Co-Dragons]]: Kooky and/or Cheatsy are the ones most likely to be on hand in aiding their dad.
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: In "Do the Koopa", as Koopa is using the magic music box to force everyone to dance, including his traitorous kids:
{{quote|
'''Big Mouth:''' Yeah! Dancing lessons are expensive! }}
* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: Mario manages to survive having lava go up his legs in "Misadventures in Babysitting."
Line 20:
* [[Dartboard of Hate]]: King Koopa has two, one for each of the Mario Bros.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]:
{{quote|
* [[Dub Name Change]]: The writers made up their own names for the Koopalings, called the Koopa Kids in the actual show, before the English version of [[All There in the Manual|The Manual]] was final. That, and some of the references Nintendo ended up using would likely go over most kids' heads anyway.
* [[Easily-Conquered World]]: Earth itself. Several episodes feature King Koopa taking over a country or a city with minimum effort. One even has each of the Koopalings taking over ''the continents'', with nothing more than their magic wands.
Line 28:
** There's also her [[Totally Radical]] '80s outfits in the episode "Kootie Pie Rocks".
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Exploited by the Koopas in "True Colors", who paint the townsfolk red and blue and spark riots between them.
{{quote|
'''{{color|red|Luigi}}:''' Yeah? Well, you're a blue know-it-all! }}
* [[Foot Focus]]: A barefoot Princess Toadstool in "Reign Storm".
Line 37:
* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: Played with. When Mario was brainwashed as mentioned above, Luigi tries to remind him of the good times they shared in order to snap him out of it, but this doesn't work. However, when Luigi then plays a prank on him [[Chekhov's Gun|as he had done earlier in the show while they were arguing]], (specifically, Luigi pulls on Mario's hat, then his overals, and then his stache',) he snaps out of it.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]:
{{quote|
'''Luigi:''' ''(takes the record and tosses it in the fireplace)'' There, now it's even HOTTER!! }}
* [[Instrumental Theme Tune]]: If you don't count the narration, that is.
Line 44:
* [[Leitmotif]]: Since the show re-arranges most of the music from the game, the tunes are indicative of the character or type of environment that is currently on-screen. Examples: Water Land's theme playing any time there's a swimming scene; Dark Land's theme playing whenever King Koopa or his fortress is on-screen; the airship theme whenever Koopa's airship appears. And appropriately, most episodes ended with the credits theme from the game.
* [[Lolicon]]: Subverted in "The Beauty of Kootie": Mario uses Kootie's wand to transform Luigi into "Casanova Koopa" to distract Kootie while Mario, Toadstool, the King of Desert Land, and Toad escape. He also kisses her on the lips passionately, which disgusts Luigi himself while in disguise. And later when Luigi reverts back to his former self by Kootie's wand accidentally:
{{quote|
'''Luigi''': Luigi?
'''Kootie''': [[Peanuts|Ahh! I've been kissed by a plumber!]] [Kootie and Cheatsy chases Luigi up the stairs] I'll tie your lips behind your head! And you'll never kiss again!!! }}
* [[MacGuffin]]: The wand in "A Toadally Magical Adventure."
* [[Magic Music]]: The Doom Dancer Music Box made anyone who could hear it dance uncontrollably. This became a plot point as Koopa, who had a cold, couldn't hear it and thus wasn't affected when Bully tried it on him.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: All of the Koopa Kid's names for this show. Some (such as Bully, Big Mouth and Cheatsy) are more blatant.
* [[Mermaid Problem]]: In one episode Mario was rescued by a mermaid named Holly Mackerel, who fell in love with him. Complicating matters was the fact that she was a reverse mermaid, and that she saw him in his Frog Suit, which made her think he was a frog.
* [[Moral Dissonance]]: In the episode "7 Continents for 7 Koopas," Bully Koopa grafittis the Great Wall of China. How does Mario solve this? [[Scaled Up|He turns the wall into a dragon.]] That's more of a problem than what Bully originally did to it.
* [[Motor Mouth]]: [[Captain Obvious|Big Mouth]].
* [[
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: Cheatsy's meddling in "Never Koop a Koopa" foiled his dad's scheme.
* [[Opening Narration]]: "Everyone thought King Koopa had left the Mushroom Kingdom..."
Line 60:
** This doesn't work for the good guys. In one episode the Mario Bros. try to disguise themselves as sledge brothers to stow away on the Doomship. Luigi is worried that it won't work, Mario tries to assure him that he barely recognizes him. But once they get aboard, an actual sledge brother deadpans "Puttin' on a little weight, aren'tcha Mario?"
* [[Portrait Painting Peephole]]: Demonstrated in "Never Koop a Koopa" when Koopa watches Princess badmouth him through the eyes of his own portrait.
* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: Big Mouth.
* [[Show Within a Show]]: "Misadventures of Mighty Plumber."
* [[Shown Their Work]]: This show was the closest adaptation of the games, even featuring P-Wings and the Kuribo's Shoe in an episode, as well as the ruler of Desert Land.
** The music box in "Do the Koopa" may reference a similar item from the game.
* [[Spoiled Brat]]: Kootie Pie.
* [[Superpower Meltdown]]: Toad and Princess Toadstool use a filled-to-the-brim chest of power-ups that Toad well-stocked in "Super Koopa" to keep Mario and Luigi powered up each time King Koopa de-powers them, though they sometimes cause Koopa to be de-powered. Both sides use their power sources (a pendant for King Koopa, the chest for Mario and Luigi) to keep the fight going. The constant stress of this, however, causes King Koopa's pendant to short-circuit, and we see [[Shapeshifter Mashup|him turn into many powered-up King-Koopa versions]] [[Shapeshifter Swan Song|before he finally explodes]] into his normal de-powered self, the pendant useless as he's sent through a manhole into the Mushroom Kingdom again.
* [[The Starscream]]: Bully and Cheatsy at times.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Up the Real Rabbit Hole]]: In typical fashion, Earth is usually referred to as "the real world".
* [[Theme Twin Naming]]: Hip and Hop.
Line 73:
** And also in "True Colors".
* [[Unsportsmanlike Gloating]]: Taken to the extreme in "Crimes R Us":
{{quote|
* [[Water Is Air]]: In "The Ugly Mermaid", King Koopa tries to make a kingdom of fish surrender to him by flooding their air-filled dome with water, to which they react negatively for some reason.
** The merpeople even have to wear water-filled globes over their heads so they can breathe while in the city, Seriously, what?
