Line 32:
* [[The Dragon]]: Mouser.
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: Sergeant Kooperman, Mario and Luigi's Plumbers' Academy instructor who has Bowser's voice.
* [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]
* [[Eyecatch]]
* [[The Faceless]]: Indiana Joe, a one-shot character, literally did not have a face.
* [["Friend or Idol?" Decision]]: The group finds another plumber who got stranded in the Mushroom Kingdom. He had finished building a machine that could get back to Brooklyn, but it had a short window of use. The Mario brothers have to choose whether to go back home or save Princess Toadstool and Toad from King Koopa, whose theme of the week was Koopa Khan. Here's a hint on what they chose: this isn't the series finale.
** Another episode has them actually get back to Brooklyn... but find out that King Koopa and his Koopa Pack had followed them and were taking over the city. They end up having to lure Koopa back to the Mushroom Kingdom and destroy the pathway to Brooklyn, thus returning to the old status quo.
* [[Fountain of Youth]]: Appears in the episode "Two Plumbers and a Baby". Peach, or rather, Toadstool, accidentally falls in it, transforming her into an infant. Koopa ends up falling in it too, by the end of the episode. [[Hilarious in Hindsight|Baby Peach and Baby Bowser actually became canon characters much later on]] (In ''[[Mario and Luigi Partners In Time]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World 2 Yoshis Island]]'', respectively).
Line 53:
* [[No One Could Survive That]]: In "Toad Warriors", Kar-Krazy Koopa blasts a fortress where the heroes are hiding. Though he immediately jeers like he assumes he's defeated his opponents, in the very next scene he refuses Mouser's insistence on the same outcome, thinking that the heroes might be lying low as a trick. It takes a couple more potshots and more urging from Mouser until Koopa finally agrees to move in, which is also when Mario & Co. initiate the plan they had just developed.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: King Koopa and the Koopa Pack. The show, due to its pastiche nature, offered most genres' worth of Obviously Evil design. Because it's a comedic show, though, the lowest Mooks are occasionally given [[Affably Evil]] moments when they think nobody is looking.
* [["On the Next..."]]: Each episode would feature Mario, Luigi or another character in the live-action segments introducing such a segment for that week's ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Animation)|The Legend of Zelda]]''. That meant for different previews for one episode.
* [[Once Per Episode]]: The Mario Bros. battling Koopa Troopas to the beat of old pop music. Examples include Mario & Luigi fighting ninjas ("Kung Fu Fighting") and redcoats in 1776 ("He's a Rebel").
* [[Opening Narration]]: "Plumber's Log, Number ______...."
* [[Pie
* [[Planet of Hats]]: Most episodes took place in a world built around a particular theme (Pirates, Wild West, outer space, etc.). And that's [[Hilarious in Hindsight|almost a decade before]] ''[[Mario Party (Video Game)|Mario Party]] 2'' offered a similar premise with themed boards.
* [[Power-Up Food]]: In the Sherlock Holmes episode, Mario eats a hamburger he'd kept in his pocket, and it gives him the strength to break out of a [[Death Trap]].
* [[Powered Armor]]: Robo-Koopa.
* [[Product Placement]]: As if this show didn't advertise ''[[Super Mario Bros]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' enough, the episode "Bats in the Basement" shows Mario eating [
** And the episode "Mama Mia Mario" opens with Luigi playing the [[NES]] itself.
* [[Recycled in Space]]: This show '''IS''' this trope. No exaggeration. Literally '''EVERY SINGLE EPISODE''' had the gang starring in either some all new world or scenario, be it [[All Bikers Are Hells Angels|them becoming desert bikers]] [[This Is Your Premise On Drugs|while trying to protect the area's last supply of spaghetti sauce,]] duking it out in a typical [[May the Farce Be With You|Star Wars parody]], or better yet winding up in some random place like Spy Land and Car Land.
* [[Rock Bottom]]: In one episode, Mario and friends are thrown into a dungeon. Mario tells Luigi that things could be worse. Luigi asks him how, and Mario tells him that the ceiling could flatten them like a pizza. [[Tempting Fate|Right on cue,]] [[Descending Ceiling|the ceiling starts descending on them]]. Mario, undaunted, says that water could flood the room until they drown like rats. [[Rise to The Challenge|You know what happens next.]] Mario, still keeping his cool, says he could think of other things that could be worse, but Luigi promptly shuts him up.
* [[Save the Villain]]: Subverted in the Christmas episode: Koopa, who has taken [[Santa Claus]] captive at this point and is threatening to throw him into the icy water below, stupidly causes an avalanche. Mario uses his plumbers' snake to rescue St. Nick, but instead of doing the same for the Koopa King, he gestures to the reptile that he'll just have to jump into the water himself (which, surprisingly, he survives).
* [[Shout
* [[Terrible Trio]]: The Koopa Pack.
* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]
