* Remember how Mecha Sonic absolutely destroyed the Axem Rangers X? And how they did the "over 9000" joke beforehand? Well, aside from fulfilling the MemeticMutation, the [[OhCrap over-reaction to Mecha Sonic's power level]] indicated that the Axem rangers were outmatched...and this was [[UpToEleven BEFORE he transformed.]] The Axem Rangers' [[CurbStompBattle utter destruction]] is even less of a surprise in this light.

* Silver may not have been directly murdered by Metallix, but he almost certainly doesn't exist anymore after Metallix destroyed all life on Mobius, therefore erasing him from existence. His only hope is not being in the future as it changed, ala the [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW IDW comics]], but considering that Sonic never mentions him joining the fight against Metallix, we can only hope...

* The fact that all it takes for Sonic to realize that Metallix has followed him and Shadow is Luigi's description of missiles hitting him, Yoshi and the Wario Bros, just how often did Metallix use them during his genocide on Sonic's world?

* One of the components of Mecha Sonic was a robotized Sonic. Sure it could be chalked down to a CowboyBebobAtHisComputer, but the implications that a part of Mecha Sonic is a [[BrainwashedAndCrazy corrupted]] [[FallenHero version of Sonic]] puts Mecha Sonic's character in a disturbing new light.

* If Episode 1 showcased the importance of teamwork, then Episode 2 is about what happens when it's not utilized. Sonic pairs himself with Mario, whereas Shadow rebuffs Luigi, preferring to find the Chaos Emeralds by himself. Luigi pairs up with Yoshi, but the two of them don't have any knowledge of the artifacts. It didn't help that Sonic and Shadow [[PoorCommunicationKills neglected to tell Mario, Luigi and Yoshi that Metallix was also after them]]. If the hedgehogs had told their new allies the entire story, and Shadow had gone with Luigi and/or Yoshi, they would have had more of a chance of defending the Chaos Emerald.

* Episode 1 perfectly displays the differences between the Mario Bros and Wario Bros and subtly showcases the value of teamwork. Mario and Luigi [[TrueCompanions always look out for each other]] and will work as a team. [[YMMV As questionable as it might be]], Luigi giving Mario the Invincibility Star to survive Wario's Fire Fart is proof of that. Wario on the other hand, seizes Waluigi by the throat and forcibly twists his body into the shape of a baseball bat. He clearly doesn’t care about injuring his brother by way of bludgeoning his opponents with Waluigi's body. Mario and Luigi are the epitome of brotherly love, while Wario will throw Waluigi under the bus if it means he’ll win.

* In Episode 7, Luigi jumps out of the water and accidentally hit Kolorado's stopwatch. This activates the negative energy in it. Luigi's [[LimitBreak Final Smash]] in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''? Negative Zone.

** Mario has the most [[JackOfAllTrades balanced fighting style]] out of the entire cast, blending both power and agility flawlessly, and makes the most use of power-ups such as Fire Flowers and Cape Feathers. This is fitting, since he ''always'' has the most balanced stats in the [[SpinOff ''Mario'' sports spin-offs]], and his franchise has one of the largest arsenals of power-ups in any video game.

** Sonic's fighting style is, uh, fast. He peppers his foes with lightning-fast kicks and uses his insane momentum to hit them with devastating blows. It's like if ''VideoGame/SonicRush'' was a fighting game.

* Besides being a reference to powering up in ''Dragon Ball'', why do Mario and Luigi seem to get ''particularly'' powerful from a power-up? Cape Feathers and Fire Flowers have never led to [[PowerGlows glowing with energy]] or sudden extra-fast and powerful melee attacks. Well, in the games, being powered up is akin to a stage of health - when you have a Fire Flower and take damage, you become normal Mario rather than instantly dying, for example. Going by the inverse of that, the power-ups here could effectively be reinvigorating the Bros, restoring them back to full health and energy, allowing them to go all-out again.
