Line 10:
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]
* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: {{spoiler|Subverted by Ness, who works up the courage after a while, but he then stutters and Paula loudly interrupts him and plays it straight.}}
* [[Anti
** Thunder and Storm. They only wanted to make people laugh, a desire that was twisted and warped by Giygas. They're also left alive, albeit heavily injured.
* [[Arc Words]]: "If a man yells loud enough, he can do anything!"
Line 39:
* [[Fan Web Comics]].
* [[Final Boss Preview]]: One appears in Moonside. For those familiar with Earthbound, you know by now what we're dealing with.
* [[For Science!]]: Apple Kid's excuse for having a nuclear-powered doomsday microwave.
* [[Gag Boobs]]: The zombie lady in Threed.
* [[Gorn]]:
Line 59:
* [[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.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|Ness's little outburst at the top of the Monotoli building is what eventually causes the events of [[Mother 3 (Video Game)|Mother 3]].}}
** {{spoiler|To be completely fair, [[Fat Bastard|Pokey]] had it coming.}}
* [[New Age Retro Hippie]]: He can measure the universe!
Line 68:
* [[Pungeon Master]]: Mondo Mole.
* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: Carpenter's [[Blue Blue]] Rangers, who are really regular Happy-Happy cultists with gimmicks.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Pokey hands out a truly frightening example, made all the more frightening by the knowledge that he ''will'' [[Mother 3 (Video Game)|win his twisted game]]. The [[Call Forward]] just hammers it home.
** Although Ness gives one straight back to him.
* [[Relax
* [[Retirony]]: Parodied. {{spoiler|Paula's stuffed teddy bear}} regrets he did not even have a line about being several days away from retirement before dying.
* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: Jeff is prone to this.
Line 82:
*** Plus the first robot's error screen includes the phrase [[The Big O (Anime)|"Ye Not Guilty"]].
** Jeff wears ''[[Mega Man (Video Game)|Mega Man]]'' underwear.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: Ness to Pokey--FINALLY--when the latter gives his [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] from {{spoiler|Monotoli's helicopter}}.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Darrow plays with the various examples of this trope from the games in his comics. For example when jokes are made in the comic related to Jeff's [[Earth Bound Zero]] [[Expy|counterpart]] are made, the name is spelled Lloyd. But when Jeff and Ness encounter an illusion of {{spoiler|Teddy}} in Moonside, he spells the name Loid. Also, the name Giegue (the spelling from [[Earth Bound Zero]]) is used to describe the physically and mentally intact version of the antagonist, while Giygas (the spelling from [[Earthbound]]) is used to describe him after {{spoiler|his body and mind broke apart}}.
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: [[Everdred]] "Don't mind all the money laying around, it's definitely not stolen."
* [[Stalker With a Crush]]: Mr. Spoon. HE LOVES VENUS EVEN MORE THAN HE LOVES HIS BACON COLLECTION!!! HE'S TOTALLY NOT CREEPY!!!!
Line 89:
* [[Stealth Pun]]: "[http://starmen.net/vote/vote.php?id=28153 I bet your one of those types that always wants to be number one. Well, I'll beat the number one out of you, and maybe even the number two while I'm at it!]"
* [[That's No Moon]]: A variant. During the journey to Scaraba, a deafening rumble sounds when they are passing by an island and one of them wonders if it is the nearby volcano. Then Kraken emerges out of the sea and the captain stares at it with a [[Oh Crap]] expression and mutters "That's no volcano".
* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: Ness can not forgive Pockey for insulting his family and friends. Paula can not forgive an octobot for stealing her diary AND read a particularly embarassing entry.
* [[Training From Hell]]: Mu training, full stop.
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Ness, after Paula is kidnapped.
Line 99:
* [[Webcomic of the Game]]
* [[What Beautiful Eyes]]: Paula suddenly gains these when she meets Ness in the Monotoli building.
* [[What Do You Mean
** Later the ghosts in the tunnel scare our heroes and the Runaway Five with ADVANCED CALCULUS and a COPY OF [[Superman 64]]! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
* [[You Shall Not Pass]]: Parodied. {{spoiler|Paula's stuffed teddy bear}} regrets he not even got to yell "you shall not pass" while charging in heroically before committing [[Heroic Sacrifice]].
