** And the fact that Mario and Luigi had just arrived in the Mushroom World and there are already hundreds of Dry Bones (undead Koopa Troopas) laying around in the Darklands makes you have to wonder just ''[[NothingIsScarier what]]'' exactly caused them to [[FridgeHorror die in the first place]].

* While it's PlayedForLaughs, albeit [[BlackComedy very dark laughs]], the Lumalee imprisoned in Bowser's castle has a very disturbing mindset, always speaking in a cheery voice about how there's no hope of escaping and the only way out is the "sweet release" of death, with the scene of Bowser attempting to sacrifice him along with the rest of the prisoners showing that he's ''[[DeathSeeker looking forward]]'' [[DeathSeeker to being dunked in the lava]].

Considering that he doesn't appear in the rest of the movie, likely being KilledOffForReal, that was a ''kamikaze attack [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids onscreen,]]'' '''''[[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids in a Mario movie]]''''' [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids of all things]]!
