* AbusiveParents: The remake's Monster List description in Dodo's entries that he imprinted on Valentina upon hatching, seeing her as his mother. Valentina, naturally, has shown to be nothing but abusive to him. His first Monster List entry even describes how shocked he was [[BlatantLies to discover that he was secretly the Nimbus Land missing prince]], which was ultimately part of Valentina's scheme to take over the throne. Dodo's abuse under Valentina is possibly to blame for why he's so fat, lazy, and foul-tempered.
* AdaptationalSympathy: The remake establishes that Dodo not only imprinted on Valentina and saw her as his mother, but was also "shocked to discover he was secretly prince of Nimbus Land" (meaning she was keeping him in the dark about her plot to take the throne). This changes Dodo from an unexplained lackey to someone whose "mother" was lying to and using as a pawn, though he's still kind of a jerk.

* MeaningfulName: In both English and Japanese, his name is a portmanteau of Toad/Kinoko ''(mushroom)'' and famed Russian composer Music/PyotrIlyichTchaikovsky.
* MembershipToken: He holds access to the Alto Card, Tenor Card, and Soprano Card, which allow Mario access to purchase more luxurious drinks at the Juice Bar in Tadpole Pond.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Despite his name being derived from Tchaikovsky, his hair is reminiscent of Music/JohannSebastianBach.

to:

* MeaningfulName: ActionGirl: She serves as Bowser's first equipped weapon giving him an increased attack power. The remake makes her even more powerful as she can be upgraded to the Wonder Chomp, his most powerful weapon.
* AdaptationalBadass: Possibly depending on the player's actions. You can make her ''much'' more powerful than she was in the original game by fighting Punchinello in the post-game, which upgrades her to the gold-colored Wonder Chomp.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: She quickly becomes loyal to Bowser when he comforts and frees her from her confinement by Booster. She fights alongside him as his first weapon, and in the remake, his last since she gets an upgrade in the postgame.
* CanineCompanion: Since Chain Chomps are basically ''Mario'''s answer to dogs, she is effectively this for Bowser, especially in the remake. She's infinitely loyal to Bowser and serves as his first acquired weapon, and in the remake, keeping her with Bowser allows her to become his most powerful weapon. Geno even lampshades that she suits him well.
* CrutchCharacter: She's Bowser's first weapon, meaning she ups his attack power greatly when you find her. However, she'll quickly be replaced by more powerful weapons as time goes on. {{Subverted|trope}} in the remake which gives her MagikarpPower.
* TheDogBitesBack: She eagerly joins Bowser after he frees her, allowing her to get some more payback against Booster for locking her up and mistreating her.
* EliteMooks: As her damage isn't just based on herself but also that of Bowser, she can dish out far more damage than any other Chomp enemy in the game. This also applies to her Wonder Chomp self, where she's now a double case of this as an Elite Mook of the already Elite gold-colored Chomp Chomps.
* EpicFlail: She's the first one that Bowser can find in the game. Bowser will whirl her around with her chain and throw her to strike and take a bite out of an enemy. She's also the last one he can find in the remake, where after the rematch against Punchinello, she'll be polished into her gold color.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: Gold Chain Chomps, or Chomp Chomps, are much stronger than regular Chain Chomps. This applies to her as well, as when she's upgraded to her gold color (exclusive to the remake), she becomes Bowser's most powerful weapon.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: She becomes this in the post-game, where she can be upgraded into Bowser's ultimate weapon.
* MagikarpPower:
In both English versions, she's the first weapon Bowser can find, meaning she's also the weakest weapon that can be equipped. In the remake, she can be upgraded into Bowser's most powerful weapon.
* MoralityPet: She brings out the FriendToAllLivingThings side of Bowser. He treats her well when freeing her,
and Japanese, refers to her as his name is a portmanteau of Toad/Kinoko ''(mushroom)'' and famed Russian composer Music/PyotrIlyichTchaikovsky.
* MembershipToken: He holds access
"new pal" when she's upgraded to the Alto Card, Tenor Card, Wonder Chomp.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: In the remake, the Chomp enemies are all redesigned with their modern appearances. This Chomp is the only one who retains her design from the original game, making her visibly distinctive from the enemy Chain Chomps.
* RightHandAttackDog: Chain Chomps bark
and Soprano Card, which allow act like dogs for the Mario access universe, and this one can be rescued by Bowser and serve as his first weapon. And his last in the remake, as she can be upgraded to purchase a much more luxurious drinks at powerful gold color.
* ShrinkingViolet: She's a bit shy as Bowser says, prompting him to ask Mario to look away while he tends to her.
* UndyingLoyalty: She fights alongside Bowser without question (mechanically she can't betray Bowser because she's a weapon that can be equipped).
* VideogameCaringPotential: Acquiring her requires

And even when she's rendered obsolete by stronger weapons, you can still keep her in your inventory. The remake encourages you to do so for a good reason: she can become Bowser's ultimate weapon.
* VideogameCrueltyPotential: You can easily sell her once she's [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness no longer the strongest weapon in Bowser's arsenal.]] This comes at a cost in the remake.
* VideogameCrueltyPunishment: You can sell her or discard her once you get Bowser's stronger weapons. In the remake, doing so means you lose Bowser's ultimate weapon.

That being said, they all reunite one last time to celebrate and see Geno off.
* CombinationAttack: In the remake, once the Action Gauge is filled, three of the heroes can work together to perform a Triple Attack that will play a short cutscene and deal massive amounts of damage to enemies. Each combination of characters produces a different effect.
* FiveManBand: Naturally for a classic [[Creator/SquareEnix Square]] [=RPG=], the heroes form an archetypal one:
** Mario: TheLeader, whom all of the heroes follow and are inspired by (even Bowser, despite his refusal to admit it).
** Geno: TheLancer, the more serious, melancholic one who has the most stake in the story and plays second fiddle to only Mario himself.
** Mallow: TheSmartGuy, who— while generally [[GeniusDitz pretty dumb]]— is a gifted magic user who knows a lot about the world thanks to his grandpa.
** Bowser: TheBigGuy, easily the strongest and most aggressive member of the party.
** Peach: TheHeart, the kindest and most compassionate party member whose most powerful abilities revolve around healing.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Prior to Peach's unexpected arrival, the party formed one.
** Mario: the phlegmatic.
** Mallow: the eclectic.
** Geno: the melancholic.
** Bowser: the choleric.
** FreudianTrio: The initial three party members form one.
** Mallow: the id, the most emotional and spirited of the three.
** Geno: the superego, the most levelheaded member who is performing his sacred duty.
** Mario: the ego, a silent, yet friendly and cheerful guy who is acting out of pure altruism.
* OddFriendship: All of them manage to at least somewhat befriend Bowser by the end in spite of his long track record of misdeeds. In the remake, despite returning to villainy, Bowser [[FriendlyEnemy peacefully reunites]] with them at the end to see Geno again, with no ulterior motive whatsoever.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: In the remake, the party is able to use the Stars to pool their abilities together and unleash devastating attacks.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The party is a truly bizarre group, even by ''Mario'' standards.
** Mario, a silent Italian plumber who is known for his jumping skills and rescues princesses on a daily basis.
** Mallow, a living cloud who thinks he's a frog and has no memory of his true past.
** Geno, a talking doll that hails from the heavens and wields strange powers.
** Bowser, a giant, evil turtle who has been forced into an EnemyMine with his nemesis.
** Princess Peach, the most normal member of the party, who is nevertheless the human leader of a tribe of mushroom people.
* TeamSpirit: Eventually, the party realizes that the only way to get the Seven Stars back is by putting aside their differences and working together. Even Bowser stops being hostile towards Mario by around 2/3 of the way through.
* ThreePlusTwo: The party is initially just Mario, Mallow, and Geno, all united towards a single goal. Then they're placed in an EnemyMine with Bowser, who just wants his castle back, before finally being joined by Peach after she sneaks out of the castle to prove her worth as an adventurer.
* TrueCompanions: By the end, despite going their separate ways and Bowser returning to his usuals schemes, the party still remain united by their memories of the adventure. In TheStinger thrown in for the remake, all of them (even Bowser) reunite to see Geno one last time.
* VitriolicBestBuds: By the latter half of the game, Mario and Peach have formed this dynamic with Bowser, with the latter often boasting about his greatness while Peach snarks at him and Mario silently agrees.
