Line 50:
* [[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 In Badass]]: Princess Toadstool took a more active role in the adventures and was less prone to kidnapping than in the Super Show. She and Toad were even able to use power-ups in the same way as the Mario Bros.
