* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference:
** Ganondorf's appearance changes slightly between the first two episodes. While in Episode 1 he looks exactly as he did in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'', from Episode 2 onward his facial features resemble those of his ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'' incarnation.
** Similar to Ganondorf, Sheik also shifts from her ''Brawl'' design to her ''Hyrule Warriors'' design between Episodes 2 and 3.
* {{Expy}}: Of various ''Dragon Ball Z'' characters, obviously.
** Mewtwo is the machinima's stand-in for Piccolo, an older, stoic, mentor who takes Lucario as a student. He is also the strategist of the group, while his psychic abilities can be akin to Piccolo's own, along with his Psybeam attack resembling the Makankosappo[=/=]Special Beam Cannon of Piccolo's arsenal.
** Lucario is one to Son Gohan, being a student of the more stoic Mewtwo. The exception is that unlike Gohan, Lucario is more eager and willing to fight.
** Black Shadow and Shadow the Hedgehog fill the role of the Saiyan Saga's Nappa and Vegeta, with Shadow ordering Black Shadow around, while Black Shadow completely {{No Sell}}s and overpowers all the other fighters on the battlefield. The voice of Black Shadow is even very similar to the one heard in ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged''.

!!''Dragon Brawl Z'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationExpansion: The series builds off of the premise on why the competitors fight, as well as elaborate on some characters previously being spectators before becoming eligible to fight.
* BattleAura: Several characters have one.
* CoolGate: One single portal connects to all the various worlds that the fighters come from.
* TheCoup: In lieu of a TournamentArc, the main plot revolves around the heroes quelling a rebellion from the villains.
* FantasticCasteSystem: Anyone can enter through the portal to The Convergence, but only a select view are chosen to be competitors: the rest are stuck as spectators. The villain's rebellion is an attempt to overthrow this.
* TheGoodKingdom: The Mushroom Kingdom, which predictably falls under attack. [[spoiler: However, it comes under attack from Ganondorf rather than Bowser--in fact, the Koopa Kingdom is targeted not long after.]]
* LaResistance: Downplayed in that they aren't fighting back against a villainous regime, but fighting to prevent one from coming into power.
* MirrorMatch: To an absurdly literal degree between Captain Falcon and Blood Falcon, where they both use the exact same moves as their opponent, resulting in them clashing, until Sonic breaks up their fight.
* MythologyGag:
** Fox and Meta Knight are the top fighters in the tournament, a reference to their dominance in ''Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Smash Bros. Brawl'', respectively.
** Fox's "shine," a technique used by competitive ''Melee'' players, is used in the tournament.
** Captain Falcon references the time he Falcon Punched Black Shadow so hard it caused a galaxy to explode, a reference to the famous scene from the ''F-Zero'' anime.
** Sonic references several times where he's seen incredibly strange things. The footage then cuts to gameplay footage of [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Sonic '06]] before cutting back to the action.
* ShoutOut:
** The sequence where Blood Falcon attempts to destroy the bridge is accompanied by same button prompts from the VideoGame/KirbySuperStar mini-game, "Megaton Punch". The same music is even used for the scene.
** A random Koopa mook reporting to Bowser is disintegrated into dust, with his last words before his death being [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar "I don't feel so good"]].
* TournamentArc: Averted: Unlike most Smash Bros. machinima, where a tournament is usually the cornerstone of the plot, the major tournament has already ended.
