* AdaptationalAbomination: While the SML cast in real life are just ordinary humans, in SmlWiki, about most of the cast members were turned into rather disturbing creatures for the sake of horror.


Added DiffLines:

* NotQuiteDead: Despite a couple of pages implying that he's KilledOffForReal, it turns out that [[spoiler:Jeffy]] is actually still alive, and unlike the rest of the characters, isn't corrupted.

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Jeffy manages to undo all of the events which occurred and also the Day of Imbalance, restoring things back to normal]].
* BodyHorror: About 80% of the characters have this happening to them.



* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler: Lance]]. From the mentions of being a "shapeshifting nocturnal diety" to having "spontaneous visits" that [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou even interrupts the main page for their character bio]], whatever [[spoiler:Lance]] is, he is no longer human.

** Subverted with [[spoiler:the actual endings]], as they both show what really happened.



* JokeCharacter: The pages of the Golden Nugget, Zack, and Dr. Finkleshitz aren't really taken seriously much and serve no purpose other than to provide a bit of MoodWhiplash from all the horror.



* TakeThat: The series itself appears to be a metaphor for [[spoiler: the current state of SML]], [[WordofGod as stated in "Misery"]], specifically the [[spoiler: formulaic content and deterioration to more childlike content]], though with a more horrifying twist.
* VaguenessIsComing: From what can be gathered on the project, the characters seem to have been affected by some sort of "incident", though what exactly the incident entails is never touched on directly and only vague hints about it are shown. Though, given what has been shown, it's [[YouDontWantToKnow probably best we don't find out]].

* ResetButtonEnding: [[spoiler:Jeffy destroys a device containing some type of brain (which is implied to also be another cause for everything that happened), which leads to the undoing of every event and causes the world and SML to go back to its normal, uncorrupted self]].

* WalkingSpoiler:
** [[spoiler:Aetheon]] counts as one due to them [[spoiler:being responsible for how and why things are messed up the way they are]].
** [[spoiler:Jeffy]] manages to be even more of one than [[spoiler:Aetheon]], due to access to his page being locked behind [[spoiler:a secret computer]] and [[spoiler:being the cause of the good ending and also reverting things back to normal]].

Guy ([[AdaptationalNameChange now known as simply "Donowrong Guy"]]), is stated to have stolen and hurt many of his friends, despite his "average joe" personality in the original series. Though, given many of the supposed "editors" are not entirely sane, it's [[UnreliableNarrator unknown how much of it is really true]].

''[=SMLWiki.com=]'' is a webseries/project created by lainsweb based on the [[WebVideo/SuperMarioLogan SuperMarioLogan]] series that features a more twisted, violent version of the series formatted as if it was a wiki site. Various documentations of the show on the so-called "wiki" shows that that not everything within the "show" is as what it seems.
