* When Donkey Kong first enters the arena, who is the spectator that has to be pretty much directly told to stop cheering? Diddy Kong, DK's [[HeterosexualLifePartners original Player Two]] from the ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' games.

* When Donkey Kong first enters the arena, who is the spectator that has to be pretty much directly told to stop cheering? Diddy Kong, DK's [[HeterosexualLifePartners original Player Two]] from the ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' games. And he's sitting with ''his'' [[BattleCouple Player Two]], even if Dixie is exasperated at his antics. Just seeing ''the'' {{Breakout Character}}s of the ''Franchise/DonkeyKong'' franchise being acknowledged is heartwarming on its own.

* Mario and Luigi's relationship as brothers is the emotional core of the movie. The former's quest in the film isn't to beat Bowser necessarily but primarily to save his brother. That's why he takes on every challenge he faces. Whenever they show how much they love each other, they have their own way to do so: Luigi always says positive things about Mario and praises him all the time, always following him wherever he goes despite not always agreeing with his reckless decisions, while Mario showcases it more with actions than words, as seen when they reunite. Overall, Luigi shows his love for Mario more vocally, while Mario does so more physically with his actions and gestures, which is shown not only by the fact that he takes on every single challenge without ever backing down, but also when they finally reunite.
** Early in the movie, when Mario and Luigi take a shortcut through the construction area, Mario is [[LeParkour jumping]] all over the place, climbing fences and travesting obstacles, while Luigi struggles more while carrying their tools... and Mario, without even commenting on it and acting as if it's second nature, makes sure to give his less athletic brother a way through; he opens doors for him, sets up ladders for him to climb, and pushes down planks that he can run across instead of jumping a large gap. Even when their first day on the job ends in a disaster because of an accidental mistake from Luigi [[note]] He accidentally steps on a bone and breaks it, causing the client's dog to sabotage their work and attempt to maul them as a grudge for the destroyed bone, which results in the bathroom getting destroyed, a negative review and an awful first impression of the bros from the public as a result[[/note]], Mario is never angry at him, nor does he blame him for what happened. He treats the incident as if it was just a bump in the road and that everything will end up better next time.

** The fact that everyone in the family, even their Uncles, one of whom had to be reprimanded for his comments, [[EveryoneHasStandards are visibly annoyed at the father for being too harsh on Mario specifically]], especially when they ''all'' give him a DisapprovingLook when he ends up hurting Mario's feelings in a ''very'' insensitive way, even though that ''wasn't'' his intention. This shows that there is still a lot of love and support in the family even if they do have a laugh at a member's expense.
*** The fact that Tony and Arthur mock their commercial (which was admittedly very poor quality and laughable) and the gimmick of their outfits (which again admittedly is a silly idea and not appropriate for a job like plumbing) but give their brother a look when he talks down Mario's dream would seem to suggest that while they'll certainly have laughs at their nephew's expense when it comes to bad taste in outfits and commercials they still support his dream to run their own plumbing business and believe in Mario on that front.

This also shows that while they do make fun of Mario and Luigi a lot, they agree with the fact that this would be taking it a bit too far.

* After the final trailer was released, the website was updated, and more positive reviews for the service were added.



* After the Mario brothers' commercial goes to air, [[Creator/CharlesMartinet a flamboyant old Italian named Giuseppe]] tells them their performance was perfect and salutes them with a bounce and a "Wahoo!".
* The fact that Creator/CharlesMartinet also voices the father of the Mario Brothers. It's clear that Nintendo acknowledges Charles by making him the voice of the Mario patriarch, acknowledging his long service voicing the Mario Brothers.
** With it having been confirmed four months after the movie that Charles would be stepping away as the voice of Mario and Luigi (and other characters in the games), Martinet's role in this movie as an approving Mario stand-in and the brothers' father makes this one line (and by extension, the whole movie) prove once and for all, a true PassingTheTorch moment:
---> '''Papa Mario:''' THESE ARE MY BOYS!
