* UnstoppableRage: Parodied. Mario goes on a violent rampage while HulkingOut over being denied fatty foods… except his acts of rage are either ''tamer'' than his usual antics (tipping a garbage bin, lightly kicking an empty can, gently throwing Old Man Hobo's guitar on the ground and making him depressed), or not much different (trying to drown a man, hitting the ''[=VeggieTales=]'' cast with his kart).

* {{Acrofatic}}: This is the norm for Mario, but he takes it up a notch when he uses Tari's extra Wii Balance Board like a skateboard to pull off some rather impressive grind moves...before it explodes. Then at the episode's climax he climbs a skyscraper without any equipment.

** Mario getting attacked on top of a skyscraper by flying enemies while enraged and having green skin happened before in “Free Lunch For Mario”.

* JerkassRealization: Mario and Meggy have a mutual one in the climax: Mario when Meggy says she's only been trying to get him on a diet because she cares for him and wants him to live a long life with his friends, and Meggy when she realizes the methods she’s been using really don't work for Mario and were only making him miserable.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: At the start of the episode, Mario bites off Meggy's hand (she was holding a tempura shrimp-buned hot dog). She barely reacts. At the doctor's office, we see her hand back in place with a bandage around her wrist. In the next sequence, even the bandage is gone.

* TheLudovicoTechnique: After Mario’s body physically rejects broccoli, Meggy’s next idea is to force him to watch ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' in the style of [[Film/AClockworkOrange the]] TropeNamer. All she accomplishes from this is a jumpkick to the face after Mario escapes from his restraints.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Meggy's reaction to her ToughLove sending Mario on an UnstoppableRampage through the city.

* ContinuityNod: When Mario comes to Luigi, he’s in the middle of tending to the flower shop he opened in the last episode.

* ToughLove: When Meggy's attempts at getting Mario to lose weight don't bear fruit at first, she resorts to keeping him from any kind of junk food at any cost, and never gives up pursuing him. At the end, she straight-up tells Mario that she's only doing all of this because she cares about him (and admitting that she stuck too closely to what her fitness classes taught her without taking individual needs into account).

-> Mario has to go on a diet, which means no more sphagetti.

Mario's horrible eating habits cause him to have a heart attack, and it's game over for him if he doesn't lose at least 1kg of weight by the end of the day, which can only mean one thing: a diet. Meggy offers to help him prevail, but with her methods only further creeping the plumber out, can Mario lose enough weight to survive the day?
