History VideoGame / SuperPaperMario

* TheNotSecret: Merlon claims that only he and Nolrem know about Flipside and Flopside existing within their own towns. There are a few [=NPCs=] who mention the opposite town and mention having been to the opposite town. Also, it's mentioned that Bestovius only teaches his flipping technique to the hero. Several [=NPCs=] make reference to going places they can't possibly go without flipping, and many [[Mooks enemies]] can flip as well.

* HowDoYouLikeThemApples: The Golden Apple.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: Chapter 7 is full of it, such as the chapter boss being [[spoiler:a former Nimbi who was exiled to the Underwhere]], the Nimbis' battle with the Skellobits, and the fact that [[spoiler:the daughter of a seemingly deistic figure sacrifices herself to save the universe]].

* PartyScattering: Dimentio sends Mario and gang to the Underwhere, the Mario-verse equivalent of Hell. Mario wakes up alone and has to team up with Luigi, Bowser and Peach again before they can obtain the next MacGuffin and escape.

* ProductPlacement: The recipe computers look like Nintendo DS, and one item in the ChainOfDeals is also apparently a Nintendo DS.

* LethalJokeCharacter: Francis can be deadly if you don't take him seriously as a boss because of his character. But you just ''know'' you can't take him seriously.

* SuperSpeed: [[spoiler: The secret pixl, Dashell, allows your character to run much faster.]] Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach can be seen to outrun a sound wave, though Bowser is just barely slower.

* OneTimeDungeon: The [[BonusDungeon Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] can only be completed fully once; the Flopside Pit must be completed twice, but afterwards it, too, becomes inaccessible. [[BrutalBonusLevel No one really minds.]]

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler:Dimentio used the Heroes to get the Pure Hearts, and allowed them to use them on Count Bleck so that he could get the Chaos Heart easily. He honestly thought that the heroes using the Pure Hearts meant that they were gone for good. He ended up legitimately shocked when, due to Bleck/Blumiere, Tippi/Timpiana, O'Chunks, and Mimi's love for one another, the Pure Hearts had returned and stripped him of his invincibility.]]

* WhereIWasBornAndRazed: It is implied that, after the heartbreak of Blumiere/[[spoiler:Count Bleck's]] love, Timpiani/[[spoiler:Tippy]], being exiled to multiple dimensions by his father and presumably killed, that Blumiere ended up wiping out his race, the Tribe of Darkness.

* IntheEndYouareOnyourOwn: [[spoiler:Subverted when Mario gets separated from his teammates one by one in Chapter 8, but they come back together to assist him in the final boss fight.]]

* EverybodyHatesHades: Subverted. Queen Jaydes, ruler of [[TheUnderworld the Underwhere]], seems pretty intimating at first, but it's quickly revealed that she's [[DontFearTheReaper pretty nice off-duty]].

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: When you begin the game Luigi is talking to Mario saying that he wants some [[WhamEpisode "KERBLOOEY" events]] to happen.Needless to say they end up meeting [[BigBad Count Bleck]] who plans on ending all of existence.And later on in the story the game has plenty of Wham Moments starting in Chapter 6 when [[spoiler:the entire world of Sammer Kingdom gets destroyed.]] and then there's [[spoiler:[[ApocalypseMaiden Luigi, himself.]] ]]

* AttackoftheFiftyFootWhatever: Getting a Super Star allows you to play as one of these. Destroying entire levels just by running through them is just plain awesome, especially during the fight with the Giant Koopa.

** A particularly memorable one for a [[Mother Mother]] fan is the three headed chain chomp battle.
