* Why is a ''plumber'', of all trades, not only [[SuperStrength fit]] [[SuperSpeed enough]] to [[OneManArmy take on Bowser's entire military]] and [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot the turtle dragon wizard himself]], with only the aid of [[PowerUp assorted foodstuffs, plants, and shinies]]? And where does he learn to do things like [[InASingleBound leap multiple times his body height]], spin like a top while he jumps, or [[DropTheHammer wield a hammer so well]]? We finally get an answer when the Mario Bros. travel to [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga the Beanbean Kingdom]]: Assuming plumbing jobs in the Mushroom Kingdom are anything like they are in the Beanbean Kingdom, the sewers get so nasty that you ''need'' those traits. Hell, if we count [[VideoGame/MarioBros New York City]], he's [[WaxOnWaxOff been training to rescue Peach all his life]]!

** Also in Color Splash, Ludwig's Superbad Battleship of Doom isn't complete by the time Mario reaches him. The reason is that Ludwig is usually saved for last in the platformer games and usually has the most elaborate fight out of the Koopalings. In Color Splash, he's the 3rd boss. He really didn't have time to prepare!

** Their dress designs also appear to reflect the time of day: Daisy=sunrise, Peach=day, Rosalina=night. Guess who either Peach and/or Daisy will look like when asleep...

* When Koopa is walking, you might notice that he keeps his hands at chest level, curling them. This is likely a minor evolutionary holdover as Koopa descended from ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' who were known to have relatively small arms kept close to their bodies. He is momentarily de-evolved into a Tyrannosaurus in the climax.
** Also, check out the Tyrannosaurus's coloring, just before it turns into slime. Yellow muzzle and belly, green elsewhere... it's Bowser's color scheme!
* The Mushroom King is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin!
* Scapelli is Mario's biggest enemy before he meets Koopa. Scapelli is turned into an ape. Scapelli is Franchise/DonkeyKong. Another thing Scapelli and Donkey Kong have in common? They both sabotaged a construction site in progress...
* When Mario and Luigi are escaping via police car, they accidentally ramp on top of another car. Meaning their escape is aided by doubling in height.

** Luigi also slides before stopping, showing Mario does have better control, sacrificing a little extra height for better stability.
