* BewareTheNiceOnes: While extremely docile and friendly, turns out that their idea of "playing" is to fight with someone. And considering the one time they decide to "play" is when they're a {{Superboss}}, one wouldn't expect these little guys to be such a deadly threat.



* CastFromHitPoints: If you refuse to hit Whacka during his boss fight, he will have to self-inflict damage (by making ceiling objects fall on his head) to build up Whacka Bumps for use. Considering that one Whacka Bump can restore 25 HP or inflict 10 damage when he loses only 1 HP per bump, there is arguably no drawback at all besides him wasting a turn.

Added DiffLines:

** This is fortunately played straight with the Whacka you fight as a {{Superboss}} in the remake of ''The Thousand Year Door'' is ''a lot'' more durable, durable enough to endure a full-blown fight with Mario, and eagerly awaits to "play" again if he loses.

* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: In the ''The Thousand Year Door'' Switch remake, a singular Whacka appears at the bottom of the Pit of 100 Trials after Bonetail has been vanquished. Trying to whack this Whacka results in him retaliating with a [[{{Superboss}} very, very tough battle]].

* TapOnTheHead: Subverted. The more you hit Whacka the more his speech becomes broken and limited, indicating increasing brain damage.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: It's already pretty cruel to repeatedly injure and potentially kill an innocent creature to harvest items from it, but there's nothing stopping you from just not even bothering to pick up the bumps afterward.
* WhackAMonster: Based on the concept of Whack-a-Mole.

* AdaptationalDumbass: While Luigi is a CowardlyLion in the main games, he makes up for it by being extremely clever, able to expertly navigate hostile areas and solve puzzles using his wits alone. Here, Luigi's cowardice is heavily downplayed and largely replaced by a sense of recklessness that leads to him getting into trouble.

Here, Luigi's cowardice is heavily downplayed and largely replaced by a sense of recklessness that leads to him getting into trouble. And when looking for the key to Princess Peach's Castle in ''Origami King'', he keeps finding the wrong key, forgetting that he left it in his kart the whole time.

** In the original N64 game, Luigi is with Mario when they go to Peach's Castle, but after that, he stays at home, writing his diary and feeling jealous that he can't go on adventures with his brother but his new friends can, and does nothing more than leading the parade in the end credits.
** In ''The Thousand-Year Door'', Luigi has a minor role outside of the intro. He can help Mario in the audience, but outside of that, he has a subplot where he goes on a solo adventure parallel to Mario's, though it happens off-screen.
** In ''Sticker Star'', Luigi is reduced to nothing more than a cameo, appearing hidden in five levels where Mario has to pull him out by paperizing him. Finding him in all the five spots only makes him lead the parade.
** In ''Color Splash'', he is hidden in six spots across the world like its predecessor. He does have a more important role in the endgame where he leads Mario to Bowser's castle, but that's pretty much it.
** Luigi's role is slightly larger in ''Origami King'', where he needs to be saved by Mario several times while searching the key to Princess Peach's Castle, and after that, he will give him the key that he needs to proceed. However, while he does have a few section where he accompanies Mario, he doesn't get to do much, and he is not even among the partners who can attack in battle.
