* Luigi hides in an abandoned, crumbling castle only to be ambushed by the Shy Guys and captured. The castle is in Bowser's kingdom but is in total disrepair unlike his own flying fortress. Why? It could be it's just an old castle he doesn't need anymore. Alternately it could be the castle of another kingdom he destroyed which would imply the Dark Lands was once a normal place and [[InferredHolocaust he did the same thing to it he did to the Penguin Kingdom]].

** Luigi began Bowser's paranoia about Peach by implying that princess that have good taste love Mario. This was enough for Bowser to decide to execute him. After the wedding went up in smoke, Bowser was very close to using the Super Star to kill everyone. It was Luigi who ruined any chance he had of winning. His action allowed himself and Mario to get the Super Star and use its power to defeat Bowser and his entire army, something that no-one has ever accomplished.

* Given how intense Bowser's VillainousBreakdown and UnstoppableRage was during the final battle, now that his wedding has been ruined (which he thinks would make him happy), what would probably happen if Mario and friends thwarted the only other thing that would make Bowser happy- in this case, defeating the rest of his family members first, particularly his own son and his friends the Koopalings, should they ever appear in a sequel? Since Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings are the only ones left to keep Bowser happy and allow him to retain what's left of his sanity...

** Why did Bowser originally kidnap Princess Peach? Because she was the only person who can undo the evil curse Bowser inflicted upon her kingdom. If a sequel was ever made, Bowser's main reason for kidnapping Peach would be to try to prevent her from saving and defending her own kingdom.

Added DiffLines:

** If Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings ever make an appearance later on in a sequel, since they're just as vile as Bowser himself, AdaptationalVillainy or otherwise, their level of villainy would essentially cancel out Bowser's own.


Added DiffLines:

** What if a potential sequel decides to expand on King Boo's character and he undergoes either AdaptationalJerkass and/or AdaptationalVillainy like Bowser? Good chances are that this version of King Boo will be ''much, much worse...''

** Donkey Kong took down several of Bowser's soldiers and stopped the prisoners from being executed, ruining a wedding "tradition". His presence also means that Peach now has the support of the Kong Army should Bowser attempt a revenge attack.

** Mario not only took "Peach's affections" away from Bowser, but prevented his Bomber Bill from destroying her kingdom. This is why Bowser blames him for ruining his wedding. From his perspective, Mario was the reason Peach refused to marry Bowser.

* By the end of the movie, Bowser harbours a grudge against everyone except for Toad. From a Doylist perspective, it's because including him in the lyrics to Bowser's reprise of "Peaches" is too much of a PainfulRhyme at best and ruins the pacing of the song at worst. From a Watsonian perspective, it's because for all Bowser knows, Toad did nothing to ruin his conquest. He couldn't have known it was Toad who smuggled the Ice Flower to Peach. Mario, Luigi and Donkey Kong on the other hand directly contributed to Bowser's downfall:

Added DiffLines:

** Princess Peach not only refused his marriage proposal, but also contributed in saving the prisoners from being executed and contributed to his defeat by kicking the Super Star to Mario and shrinking him with a Blue Mushroom, plus to add insult to his injury, Bowser didn't see Mario run up to Peach, but rather the opposite; Peach ran up to Mario herself, catches his attention, and shows herself to be much happier with Mario than she'll ever be with Bowser. This meant that Bowser now holds a grudge against Peach and vows to make her his prisoner as revenge.

* Since Bowser is [[BadBoss far crueler]] to his henchmen in the movie than in the games, this may explain why some games portray enemy characters as friendly NPCs: these are really enemies who have been fed up with Bowser's constant mistreatment of them for their constant failures and ultimately quit working for him, while the ones who remain loyal to him are competent enough for Bowser to treat them more kindly.

* Luigi's answer to Bowser's question on whether princesses like Peach find Mario attractive, "They do if they have good taste!", ended up ringing true as the film goes on. Mario turns out to have very good reasons why he would beat Bowser, even in getting the girl (even if it wasn't what he intended to do). Just by one look at Mario when they meet, and even though Peach judo flips him, she is immediately interested in him. And as the film goes on, she soon becomes charmed by Mario's heroic determination, kindness, as well as his sense of humor. Which culminates in when Mario invites her over to Brooklyn so he can buy her a pet turtle, she flirtatiously considers accepting his offer. In short, Peach does have good taste, and therefore she does find Mario attractive.

* While it was in the heat of the moment and there wasn't a lot of time to think straight, Mario dealing with the Bomber Bill very likely had other casualties in Brooklyn. While redirecting the Bomber Bill in the Warp Zone did prevent the Mushroom Kingdom's destruction, the detonation halfway across dimensions resulted in a lot of elements from the Mushroom Kingdom getting warped to Brooklyn, ''including Bowser's fortress''. While Mario was able to save the Mushroom Kingdom from obliteration, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero sadly that same effort probably resulted in a lot of damage and casualties in Brooklyn]].

** Bowser intending to dunk the prisoners as wedding sacrifice is bad enough, but when Peach rejects him at the altar and helps rescue the prisoners, he orders a Bomber Bill to destroy her kingdom. Which makes her forced wedding to Bowser much more like a SadisticChoice; either she marries him and let the prisoners die or have her kingdom and her people destroyed.
