* AdaptationPersonalityChange: On the face of it, he shares a lot with what Mario would become when solidified as a character (good natured, optimistic, determined, etc.). However what ''kind'' of hero he is very different. What he started as here is a daydreamer who's a bit headstrong and inconsiderate with a light lazy streak.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: His relationship with Luigi is slightly straining when the movie begins (which is surprising, considering their healthier relationship in future games). It actually get so bad that ''he unconciously steals Luigis dreams'' and [[spoiler: temporarily drives him away by making fun of him.]]

Added DiffLines:

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Surprisingly he's the Responsible to Mario's Foolish. Despite his self-serving greedy nature, he's really only that way because the brothers are financially poor in the first place and most of his reactions to the Mushroom Kingdom's brand of weirdness and danger is entirely justified. The distinction is made clearer when he interacts with Mario, who in this iteration is usually an irrisponsible daydreamer who can be something of an ass from time to time.

%%* BumblingHenchmanDuo:

to:

%%* BumblingHenchmanDuo:* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Downplayed. There's not much about them that seems different from what Goombas would become later at a glance. Later on, though, they are revealed to have arms they can use for such operations. The game's proper would allow them to hold things as if they were telekinetic.

%%* OnlyInItForTheMoney:

to:

%%* * OnlyInItForTheMoney: His main reasoning for traveling is to get rewarded for it, and several times it not only distracts him, but makes him a hindrance. It's very much comes off as if he's a prototype for what would become Wario when coupled with his look for the film



%%* DamselInDistress

to:

%%* DamselInDistress* DamselInDistress: to her credit, she does try to escape and gain an upper hand on her own with quick thinking. She's only really stopped because of Koopa's sorcery.


Added DiffLines:

* HappyEndingOverride: Downplayed. He is mostly just revealed at the last minute as a (weak) plot device to prevent Mario from getting involved with Peach romantically. It doesn't stop the movie from having a happy ending with the kingdom saved, but it comes after a whole movie's worth of ShipTease between the two and its what convinces Mario and Luigi to head back home.

%%* AdaptationPersonalityChange:

to:

%%* AdaptationPersonalityChange:* AdaptationDyeJob: Since the anime was made during a time when Luigi really was just "Green Mario", it's unsurprising that his appearance wouldn't be as it's recognized today. That being said, it even differed from Luigi's designs at the time, such as his green and white in-game sprite. Just about the only sticking aspect of Luigi's design here would be his height compared to his older brother.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Luigi in this movie can best be described as a skinny Wario instead of the LovableCoward he's known as nowadays. It's unsurprising though, given how early in the ''Mario'' franchise's history this film was created. At the time Luigi was just a green Mario, with the earliest known instances of his cowardly personality being ''Series/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'' (which didn't come out until 1989) and a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnU-2HRJNO4 commercial]] for ''VideoGame/MarioBros'' from 1983.

----
%%* BumblingHenchmanDuo:
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Their plans to stop the heroes in their tracks usually end up having the opposite effect. First they led Luigi to the patch of Mushrooms, which allowed Mario to defend himself from the baby Paratroopas and find the Super Mushroom. Next, they recommended the bros go to Lakitu's garden of Piranha Plants, which is where they needed to go anyway to find the Fire Flower. Thirdly, they set up a trail of gold coins leading the heroes into a trap, resulting in Luigi finding the Super Star by accident whilst digging an escape tunnel.

* TheSnackIsMoreInteresting: Deconstructed during the finale. [[spoiler:After he had already eaten the Mushroom and the Flower power-ups and only needed to eat the Star to defeat Koopa, he got distracted by a bowl of rice with Mario Ramen Sprinkles appearing out of nowhere. While he munched on the treat, Koopa didn't waste any time and attacked him, causing the Star to fall down a crack in the ground. If it hadn't been for Luigi finding it (by complete accident) and bringing it to his brother, Mario would have lost then and there.]]



* YouDontLookLikeYou: Luigi isn't wearing a single piece of his iconic green, instead having a blue hat and overalls and a yellow shirt. This, not unfittingly, makes him look a lot like Wario. His moustache is also styled like Mario's instead of having the smoother trim.

A talking dog travelling with the Mario Bros. It turned out he was actually Prince Haru of the Flower Kingdom, whom Koopa had turned into a dog because he owned the other brooch, signifying that he is destined to be with Peach.


Added DiffLines:

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Considering he appeared in a special where the ''Mario'' franchise was very young, his romantic relationship with Princess Peach would feel a tad weird to modern audiences.
