* FunWithSubtitles: [[InvertedTrope Inverted.]] With the subtitles turned on, Marth's single line in ''World of Light'' is apparently the same as his line in the game proper. What he says out loud, however, is "[[AsLongAsitSoundsForeign Harakiri tsunami, kamikaze banzai]]".

* HolyBurnsEvil: Even the most wicked foes are laid low by the presence of crosses. Simon Belmont dissolves crosses in water flasks to create his Holy Water. Kirby silences Marx simply by holding up a cross. Luigi doesn't carry a cross, but a Latin chant repels Satan with a cross-shaped flash on the screen.

I added the button-mashing part.

Added DiffLines:

* ButtonMashing: A button makes a Kremling run towards Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong if set to 'Go' and puts the Kremling into a 'resting' state if set to 'Stop'. When Donkey Kong mashes the button, the Kremling quickly alternates between the two states until the Kremling explodes.


Added DiffLines:

* TakeAThirdOption: In ''Something About Donkey Kong'', a Kremling runs towards Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong if a nearby button is set to 'Go'. Pressing the button sets the button to 'Stop', which puts the Kremling into a 'resting' state. Pushing the button again sets the button back to 'Go'. Donkey Kong mashes the button, making the Kremling quickly alternate between the two modes until the Kremling explodes.

----
!!This series provides examples of:

* AdaptedOut: A couple of key elements were adapted out of the abridged parodies, including:
** The Great Cave Offensive is completely absent in Kirby Super Star's parody, despite being one of the key modes.
** Ganon is completely absent from the World of Light's parody video, despite being one of the major three bosses.
* AdaptationalWimp:
** A lot of the villains in these videos are hilariously taken out by just single attacks. There are exceptions.
* HeroicSociopath: Kirby qualifies in ''Something about Kirby Super Star''.
