* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Played with when Paula throws her teddy bear to divert Mondo Mole's attack; she'd been manipulating him [[Medium Awareness|off-panel]] to give it the illusion of sentience, so this part was played out as the bear sacrificing his "life" for hers.

* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Fourside is MADE of this. We go from the usual humorous plot development, to the minor [[Fan Service]] that is Venus, to a rather scary burst of [[Unstoppable Rage]] from the main character, to the freaking nightmare that is Moonside, to major revelations about Giygas, then crazy [[Hot Blooded]] antics, and finally talking monkeys again. Whew!

* [[Mushroom Samba]]: A mushroom monster in #66 puts Ness in a musical version by placing an actual mushroom on his head (utilizing a song from the original ''Mother'' soundtrack, no less). It continues for another page even when the mushroom was removed!

* [[Mythology Gag]]: The second time the above-mentioned [[Arc Words]] are said is when Ness first uses PSI Rockin'; the first "default" option for "Favorite Thing" in ''Mother 2'' (which "Rockin'" replaced) is [[Kiai]]. Similarly, Ness remarks that the only way the pencil statue could be weirder is if it were an octopus.
