* UncertainDoom: Although Stanley is deleted in "Epilogue," there are season 1 episodes set after the bulk of that episode which show Stanley alive and well due to Jim's repeated needling. Given the logic by which this is happening and the nature of actual ArtificialIntelligence, the sapience of Stanley at this point is debatable; while he could have been fully returned to life, he could also be a philosophical zombie parroting his previous encounters. Jim never elaborates what happened to either of them after the Wet-Dry World incident, leaving this question unresolved by the series end.

* SaveThisPersonSaveTheWorld: Deconstructed. About half of ''Super Mario 64'' hinged on his existence, likely due to the Internal Castle Plexus. For the game world, keeping him alive is probably a good thing. For the real world, however, it is most certainly ''not'' -- the implications of what Stanley could be used for burdens him immensely, and he is well aware that protecting his virtual reality has always meant and will only mean harming the actual reality in front of the screen. The only reason he doesn't end it himself for the greater good is because there's no means to on his own.

* ArmorPiercingResponse: Stanley's altered script for ''Nintendo Mania'' contains a line from Luigi that ''finally'' gets his point across to Jim in one double-layered sentence. While the in-universe meaning is that Mario still hasn't let go of Luigi and the burden his death is placing upon him, it translates to [[spoiler:how much Stanley is suffering from Jim's own lack of closure]] in the real world, and how much [[DeathSeeker he would like for it to stop]].
