Added DiffLines:

** Meggy also gets a moment during ''Wheel of Fortune''. Bob is still speaking Chinese when he claps back at Meggy after she made fun of him for using the wrong alphabet, only this time the subtitles are English. Meggy looks down to read them and sees he said, "At least I get to play the game."


Added DiffLines:

* CoolCar: A Ferrari [=F8=] is the prize Boopkins plays for on ''The Price Is Right''.[[note]] Despite what the show says, the [=F8=] never cost $2,000,000; it retailed for a still-expensive but less insane $400,000. However, the [=F8=] bears a resemblance to Ferrari's Daytona [=SP3=], which DOES cost two million.[[/note]]


Added DiffLines:

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: After Bob laughs at Meggy when she Loses A Turn twice in a row, she snaps and smashes his face multiple times against the outer casing of the Wheel.

Belongs on Trivia.


* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer:[[invoked]] Mr. Puzzles gets a few details about the game shows wrong...
** ''Wheel Of Fortune'' inexplicably uses the ''Price Is Right'' music. All other parodies use the correct music.
** He gets the rules for ''Price Is Right'' showcase incorrect – the point is not to guess the price of a high-dollar item; it's to get as close as you can without going over, so Boopkins actually won the Ferrari without Mr. Puzzles needing to rig anything.
*** Also, the Ferrari in question is a model [=F8=], which retails for about $350,000. That's a lot but nowhere near the $2,000,000 Mr. Puzzles had scratched out.[[note]] The [=F8=] bears a superficial resemblance to the Daytona [=SP3=], which really does cost that much. It also looks a lot like the model 812 (cost $340k-$440k depending on model-year), with the major difference being the placement of the engine – 812's is in the front while the [=F8's=] is in the rear.[[/note]]

General clarification on work content


* {{Cliffhanger}}: Mario discovers a world full of static near Mr. Puzzles' game show, which engulfs them both to take them God-knows-where next. His friends don't fare better, bearing the full brunt of Mr. Puzzles' VillainousBreakdown after his game show goes south thanks to Mario's screw-ups.

* BornUnlucky: Meggy seems to be this at first in Wheel of Fortune, landing on 'lose a turn' multiple times in a row, though it's [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] upon the reveal that Mario was inside the wheel and messing with it the whole time.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: After getting sick of Mario's antics, Mr. Puzzles puts him in a cage, which he then shoves into the black bars at the side of the screen. He then directly turns to the viewer and asks if they mind him leaving the cage there.
* BreakingOldTrends: This is the first Puzzlevision Original where Mario is not casted as an animal. This backfires for Mr. Puzzles '''hard''' as Mario is hard to control.

to:

* AnimationBump: The very end of the episode with only Mario wandering through the void has noticeably smoother animation and better lighting more in-line with the series' big trailers.
* AspectRatioSwitch: Being a parody of classic American game shows, most of the episode is in 4:3 and pillar-boxed. Played with as Mr. Puzzles eventually cages Mario ''within'' the stage-right pillar to keep him out of the show. Once Mario breaks the third wall and wanders into the static void, the episode is back to its usual 16:9 ratio.
* BilingualBonus: The Chinese subtitles coming from Bob during ''Wheel Of Fortune'' (which don't match what he actually says) translate to...
-->''"Haha, look at you translating this. I bet you feel like a fool now."''
* BornUnlucky: Meggy seems to be this at first in Wheel ''Wheel of Fortune, Fortune'', landing on 'lose a turn' multiple times in a row, though it's [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] upon the reveal that Mario was inside the wheel and messing with it the whole time.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: After On two separate occasions, Mr. Puzzles speaks directly to the audience.
** At the start, he tells people to rate his show 5-stars (there was a website linked in the video's description where you could literally do just that... most viewers didn't)
** Later, after
getting sick of Mario's antics, Mr. Puzzles puts him in a cage, which he then shoves into the black bars at the side of the screen. He then directly turns to the viewer and asks if they mind him leaving the cage there.
** During ''Family Feud'' he notes Mario's pseudo-Italian gibberish and asks where Mario's subtitles are, implying he can see and read them. There aren't any because the gibberish IS Mario's answer.
* BreakingOldTrends: This is the first Puzzlevision Original where Mario is not casted cast as an animal. This backfires for Mr. Puzzles '''hard''' as Mario is hard proves impossible to control.

* LaughingMad: Mr. Puzzles lets out an insanely creepy laugh when things go south. This extends to the filename of his render, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.png, on the Puzzlevision website, which shows his manic face.
* MetafictionalDevice: Being a parody of an old game show, the episode is in 4:3 ratio with black sidebars. Upon getting sick of Mario's antics, Mr. Puzzles cages Mario and puts him in said sidebars to keep him off the show.

* SanitySlippage: Even before his big VillainousBreakdown at the end, Mr. Puzzles is clearly more on edge and quick to anger than usual throughout the episode, showing that his repeated failures to get a 5 star rating for his shows is ''really'' starting to get to him.

* ScrewTheRulesTheyBrokeThemFirst: Mr. Puzzles hits his breaking point (thanks to Mario's mischief disrupting his games), and he resorts to rig the puzzlevision.tv site, ensuring that all user ratings are fixed at five stars, regardless of their actual scores, with anything lower labeled as "terrible".
