**The best ending to the sequel, ''Mario's Time Machine'', is arguably just as cruel. Bowser is repeatedly stomped on by a giant dinosaur until he's nothing more than a flattened pile of mush. The PC version adds a bit of humour by implying he was stomped into a frisbee, as a raptor picks him up and throws him into the distance. Nevertheless, the best ending to the SNES ending makes you wish Bowser got the bad ending instead, where he uses his time machine to go off to a tropical island and relax.

* HarmlessVillain: The Koopalings, who don't even ''try'' to attack you in any of the games, even after telling you their one weakness!
* IdiotBall: There are quite a few moments.
** In the NES game, Mario notices Roy and a sack with his name on it, but doesn't think to run.
*** In the PC game, he eats the food Bowser offers him, which makes him lower his guard enough to get ensnared in a net.
** Also in the PC game, Larry Koopa, who is known in the cartoons for being a ''manipulative, conniving cheater,'' (heck, it's in his name) tells Luigi his and his siblings' weakness. [[PlayingWithFire Take a wild guess what it is.]]
** Back to the SNES version. In the end, Bowser jumps between Mario and Luigi after the latter frees the former. He doesn't attack; he just sits there and watches as Luigi flips a switch and drops him into a cannon. [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath This ends up costing him his life.]] [[UnexplainedRecovery As we all know, however...]]

The player has to figure out where in the world they actually are in order to get Yoshi to come and eat the Pokey so they can leave the stage. A bit understandable, as Luigi has no power-ups to dispose of the Pokey with.
