Baleful Polymorph was renamed per TRS


* In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'', the main plot has you traveling from world to world, defeating the Koopalings, and stealing back the wands they stole from various kings who have been the subject of a BalefulPolymorph. After the 7th such world, you learn that the Princess has been kidnapped and rush to her rescue. But what if you used the Warp Whistles to skip ahead? Are the kings of the worlds you skipped trapped in their other forms? Do those Koopalings retain their wands and continue to cause havoc?

Moved from Super Mario Bros.

* At the end of World 6, Princess Peach sends a letter instructing Mario to find the hidden Warp Whistle at the end of World 3. This seems to make little sense at first, since the player can't backtrack to a previous world. However, putting the hint at this point of the game alerts the player that there may be secrets they may have missed and encourages a second playthrough.

*** If it helps, in ''VideoGame/PaperMario'', you learn that Bob-ombs get better from exploding a few seconds after the fact, and will do so willingly to clear debris or just blow off steam.

** Considering that all of the Bowser's you face from previous games are goombas as well, it's also a likely reference to his trickster-magic.

** Not much considering those 'suns' are only slightly bigger than Mario himself. They're just normal enemies.

*** Definitely this. Miyamoto probably wouldn't add that in, y'know, a ''children's game''.

* The {{Tanuki}} motif fits in very well with the final fight with Bowser. Tanukis are [[TheTrickster tricksters]] in Myth/JapaneseMythology and in most instances you defeat Bowser by tricking him into bursting through the floor and to his own demise.

* Raccoon Mario can fly, but real raccoons can't. Additionally, he gets this power from a leaf. What do leaves have to do with raccoons?
** The same reason turtles can breath fire, mushrooms can make you grow twice as tall, walking mushrooms can fly, and you can get to dungeons through giant green pipes.
** Actually, it's not a raccoon; it's a tanuki, which in Japanese folklore use leaves as part of their magic which adds more confusion with the Tanuki Suit as it's literally just a slightly more amped up Leaf powerup but with the added advantage of being a priest statue. Along with the Frog suit, SMB3 is pretty steeped in Shinto themes.

*** Remember ''Yoshi's Island''? Babies in the Mario universe seem to be quite literally [[DeliveredByStork delivered by storks]]. It's possible these people have no idea how actual childbirth works.
