Line 1:

* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]/[[Paint the Hero Black]]: Nearly everyone has received a [[Darker and Edgier]] makeover, especially [[Nightmare Fuel|Kirby]], who incidentally is responsible for the most of the characters changing in the first place. Red is pretty much the only one to be unchanged - if anything, he's even ''more'' innocent.
** It's so extreme that [[Ocarina of Time|Malon as a stripper]] is actually ''close'' to her original depiction as [[Children Are Innocent|innocent little farmer girl]] in comparison to what they did to every other videogame character (except the aforementioned Red).
* [[Cargo Ship]]: You upset Lakitu's cloud!
* [[Complete Monster]]: Kirby needs no introduction in regards to this series.
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: The exchange between Mario and Luigi in Episode 6:
{{quote|'''Luigi''': Times have changed. You can't do it alone anymore.
Line 23 ⟶ 22:
** Luigi wasn't capable of saving Daisy from Kirby in the backstory; Luigi wasn't playable in the one title (''[[Super Mario Land]]'') where Daisy needed saving.
** Waluigi references his actual appearances in games in the order he does things, starting first with holding a tennis racket (his first appearance was in ''Mario Tennis'') and then the ''[[Mario Party]]'' line (his next in-game appearance). A bit after that, Red then asks if Waluigi wants to go play go kart with him, which is the next game he appeared in.
*** Also, he says he has to go to play "Olympics" after giving Red a gift. [[Mario
*** In a related example, this is why Waluigi is portrayed as a mentally challenged man obsessed with games: he's never been in a proper Mario game.
** In a much more sinister vein, {{spoiler|the titular Brawl had its basis laid down due to Kirby's rein as the cannibal, and was kicked into motion with Ness and Lucas' actions as the butcher. HAL Laboratories is responsible for the ''[[Kirby]]'' games, the ''[[MOTHER]]'' trilogy, and the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. In fact, if you count Ness as a different character fundamentally than Ninten, Kirby was created first, then Ness, then Lucas, and then the ''Smash Bros'' series.}}.
*** One should never forget that {{spoiler|the kids are from [[
*** Actually, it gets far more complicated than that. {{spoiler|Some people who worked in the original [[MOTHER]] game would later produce [[Pokémon]]. Giuege/Giygas ([http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/1803/333wz8.png\]), the big bad of [[MOTHER]], was the inspiration to create Mewtwo ([http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/9/90/Spr_1g_150.png\]). This ends up being amaizing when you remember that Giygas race was the one who indirectly gave the kids their psychic-powers in the [[MOTHER]]/Earthbound, and was later defeated by those kids. That's exactly what Mewtwo (Giygas's spiritual son) did in this series!}} [[Fridge Brilliance]] indeed!
** ''"They've been here since the beginning"'' {{spoiler|is said by Olimar when talking about Mr.G&W and R.O.B. If you think about, G&W and R.O.B were one of Nintedo's first creations, and they had practically dissapeared since the 80s'. When did they decide to return? In [[Super Smash Bros.]], to kick asses! Therefore, one could say they are not very fond of the other Nintendo characters. Which leads us to the second part of the quote:}} ''"and they don't like what they see"''.
** While taunting Luigi in Episode 9, Ganondorf tells Luigi that "Captain [Falcon] and I, [[Not So Different|we're a lot more similar than you think."]] In the games, Captain Falcon and Ganondorf have the same moveset.
** Olimar is referred to as End Of Days. This is a reference to the he stars in ''Pikmin'' where you have 30 in game days to complete his ship.
Line 40 ⟶ 39:
* [[Fridge Horror]]: {{spoiler|"I'm at full health."}} Where's Navi?
** Presumably fine, as Link was seen holding a {{spoiler|maxim tomato extract syringe}}.
** The whole thing is based on the fact that Kirby is pretty damn disturbing when you think about it...
** At the end Leaf gives a crying orphan [[
** {{spoiler|Who's going to look after Waluigi?}}
* [[Fridge Logic]]: Why did they censor the koopa in Episode 9 if [[Cluster F-Bomb|F Bombs are dropped casually?]]
Line 78 ⟶ 77:
** {{spoiler|Ganondorf bleeding from everywhere under the kids' influence, and then later his head being chopped off after already having been stabbed by a sword.}}
** The final few moments, {{spoiler|where it is HEAVILY implied that Kirby killed and ate Ness. How is it implied? Kirby is wearing a very familiar looking bloody baseball cap - just like he would be in Super Smash Bros if he'd swallowed Ness and copied his powers.}}
* [[Take That, Scrappy!]]: Link's glorious exclamation of "SHUT THE FUCK UP NAVI!" that all of us gamers attempted to do in vain while playing ''[[Ocarina of Time]]''.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: {{spoiler|Red's death, and the song he plays in the same episode. Hell, the entire ending of Episode 9.}}
** Think about this one for a bit, and realise this is the biggest [[Player Punch]] the series throws. {{spoiler|Narrative-wise, it has no reason to happen. It makes Wario and Ganondorf out as [[Moral Event Horizon|horrible, horrible people]], that couldn't possibly be redeemed. ...Except they were already there. If Red didn't die, chances are the rest of the series would have played out exactly the same. ...Well, minus the [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Rest attack]].}}
Line 86 ⟶ 85:
