Now has a [[Recap/StupidMarioBrothers recap page]] in construction which NeedsMoreLove.
----
!!This series provides examples of:
* ActionGirl: Mona
* ActingForTwo: Every actor has played more than one character.
* AGoodNameForARockBand: X and the Ys version with Johnny Mushroom and the Kingdoms.
** Along with Wario's short lived band Tommy Fungus and the Dungeons.
* AprilFoolsDay: Episode 55 was delayed for two weeks, replaced with a video PSA about smoking [[spoiler: by Snake]].
* AllJustADream: The beginning of Episode 46.
* AltumVidetur: Used lightly since Nox Decious was introduced.
* AsideGlance: After Link drank bad milk and the others said he won't be in Season Three, Ash says their fans will be pissed, but Mario says they'll get over it. Cue this trope.
* BackFromTheDead: Almost every villain. And it's lampshaded every time. The most notable example so far is a comment made by Snake to Blaire Vherestorm in Season 5:
--> Snake: You were dead, you came back. Vercetti was dead, he came back. What's the point of killing you if you're just gonna come back?
* BackStab: Practically a theme
* {{Badass}}: Snake and VideoGame/MaxPayne. (Note: they are both played by Julian)
* BadassBiker: Wario's ''VideoGame/{{WarioWare}}'' costume. (He still needs a bike though)
* BadassNormal: UPS and arguably Fed Ex. That is, when they don't use slap combat.
* BadassLongcoat: The Darkness sports one of these, as does Liquid Snake and Blaire Vherestorm.
* BerserkButton: If you know what's good for you, never dance in front of the Dance Instructor.
** Be sure to never pitch a video game idea to Bob and Joe. Ash succeeds with his Pokemon idea, however.
*** The Darkness has an unfunny one when Wario tells him he's still in Mario's shadow.
*** Do not insult AceOfBase (the band that sings The Sign) in front of UPS, or ELSE.
* BigBad:
** Season One: Wario and Waluigi
** Season Two: Nox Decious
** Season Three: Wario
** The Movie Act I: Bowser and Kamek
** The Movie Act II: The Darkness and [[spoiler: Mr. L]]
** Season Four: The Trifecta (a.k.a. Blaire, Ken and Liquid)
** Season Five: Ganondorf's Army AND The Darkness's Army
* BigBadDuumvirate: Season 5 although The Darkness and Decious are against each other with other villains.
* BigBadEnsemble: Season 5's two main enemies, Ganondorf's Army and The Darkness's Army
* [[spoiler: BoomHeadshot: How Snake kills Liquid the second time around.]]
** Repeated in Episode 61 with [[spoiler: Tommy Vercetti. Seriously.]]
* BoyBand: Johnny Mushroom and the Kingdoms - they even do music videos time to time, and are often said to be better than the JonasBrothers.
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: Blaire's offer for Ken to join the Trifecta was a promise of $10,000 and Chun-Li's head on a stick.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Happens quite often, the best known example being when [[spoiler: Snake, Otacon, and Ash visited Richard to make him edit their entire trip to Merlin's Table]].
* BreatherEpisode: Episode 45 and Act 1 of TheMovie
** Most episodes of any season before the season's respective BigBad shows up.
** All but the final episode of Season 1.
* BrickJoke: In "The Interactive Adventure," Luigi ended up [[ShoutOut inheriting a]] [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion mansion]]. In the first episode of Season 4 he sold it for a life supply of USB flash drives, [[spoiler: So he could never run out of memory]]. In Episode 53, [[spoiler: Mario returns after he gains his memory back prompting Luigi to suggest a flash drive]].
* BrokeEpisode: "The Interactive Adventure." Mario [[ForgotToPayTheBill was too lazy to pay rent]].
* BuffySpeak: "I believe it was my foot that had the stepping on!"
** "That was suck!"
* CainAndAbel: Merlin and Nox Decious.
* TheCakeIsALie: Or 'pizza' in this case!
* CallBack: Plenty, the most recent being the first episode of Season 4 (as well as Act I) recreating the opening to Season 1.
* TheCastShowoff:
** The Johnny Mushroom episodes
** episode 45 for Wario and Waluigi.
* CerebusSyndrome: The very first season largely centered on the Mario Bros. goofing off until Episode 15, after which they became much more serious while alternating between their serious and goofy selves: in Season Four, every character is a clever mix of both their serious and goofy selves, or as Mario puts it in Episode 57, "seriously funny."
* CharacterBlog: Two, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55SP0OCH7ZU&feature=channel_page Kamek]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4y7F7j7iK8 Mario]]
* ChekhovsSkill: UPS's first and later appearances show him singing I Saw the Sign. [[spoiler: Luigi eventually hires him to replace Mario as lead singer for JMK in Season 2]]
* TheChosenOne: or perhaps The Chosen Two: Mario and Wario
* ChristmasSpecial: In which UPS intern Francis makes a mistake, resulting in the Mario Brothers believing that the other brother did not get them a Christmas present.
* TheComicallySerious: Snake. Subverted in The Interactive Adventure when he tries to be funny but fails and is [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter beaten by Wario]]. But, by the end, he gets the SuperMarioBros laughing with a banana joke--that is, until Wario beats it with [[spoiler: Two Bananas]]
* ContinuityNod:
** Wario's job at the printer shop reappears in Act I as his Summer Job. This however leaves us to wonder [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse if Waluigi is still employed]].
** VideoGame/LuigisMansion is mentioned in Season 4.
* CoolVersusAwesome: Pirates vs Ninjas. The Age old fight.
* CrossOver / MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Nox Decious is actually a character from RMA Studios' ''King Arthur'' series. Although, none of the films featuring him have been released. In season 3 we see Merlin, who was also in their [[ArthurVsTheDruidsVsTheGrail King Arthur]] series; then in Act One of the Movie we see their other works, plus one video from a companion channel.
* DarkActionGirl: Pauline while working for Ganondorf.
* DeadSerious: When someone as famous as [[spoiler: Link]] dies, you know things are getting serious.
* DeadpanSnarker: Snake
* DeadPersonConversation: [[spoiler: Between [[NotQuiteDead Mar]][[AlmostDeadGuy io]] and [[KilledOffForReal Link]]]]
* DeathAsComedy: Pauline
* DesignatedGirlFight: Mona vs. Pauline in Episode 64
* DidYouActuallyBelieve: While speaking with the Wario Bros. and their attempt to join him in Episode 26, Nox Decious calls out this trope by name.
** The Narrator addressing the viewers about the fake ending of Season One: "Did you think that was the real ending? You're stupid, you must be one of those stupid people!".
* DismantledMacGuffin: The Nether Emblems.
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Mario in the Movie]]
* DoubleVision: used often due to the limited number of actors. The most notable example is probably any scene with Mario and Merlin, which requires a split screen.
* DyeingForYourArt: Richard did this with [[spoiler: The Darkness's red hair]]
** Only to change it back for Season 5 due to "Meh" reception.
** Also done with Julian for grey hair as old Snake and Austin when being Bowser.
* EasingIntoTheAdventure: Happens in the first episodes of seasons two and three, as well as in the first act of TheMovie
* TheEndOfTheBeginning: The season three finale was named this
* [[spoiler: EnemyMine: Mario and The Darkness's armys actually do this (much to everyone's surprise) to take down Ganon.]]
* EnemyWithin: [[spoiler: Mr L...]]
* EnergyBall: Fireballs
* EveryoneJoinTheParty: The [[SeasonFinale Season One finale]] has almost every character from that season.
* EverybodyLaughsEnding: The fake ending of Season One was this
* EvilCounterpart:
** Wario [[spoiler: and the Darkness]] to Mario
** Waluigi to Luigi
** [[spoiler: Liquid]] to Snake
* EvilIsHammy: Most villains, most notably The Darkness.
* [[spoiler: FaceHeelTurn]], [[spoiler: although it's against Luigi's will]]
* EvilSorcerer: Nox Decious.
* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler: Wario]]
* FearfulSymmetry: Just watch Episode 29...
* FightingFromTheInside: [[spoiler: Luigi vs. Decious]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** In the blooper/ramblings of Episode 31; Chris (the actor of Luigi) said "Well that's the end of Decious...[[spoiler: for now!"]]
** A lot of this was done in Season 3 for TheMovie.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Episode 55 and all following episodes are completely based around this... [[RecycledInSpace with NINJAS]].
* FunWithAcronyms: the [[TheMafia Mothers And Fathers Italian Association]]
* FunWithSubtitles:
** All letters from Bowser or any other character come with subtitles, regardless of whether you understand them or not.
** Michael Myers and Jason speak with subtitles in The Interactive Halloween.
* GenreSavvy: [[spoiler: Snake realizes his mistakes in his first fight with Liquid and makes sure to completely kill him the second time around.]]
* GottaCatchEmAll: Ash and Brock's main intention with Pokémon. They're based more on their original characterization in the early episodes of the anime than anything else.
** And collecting the [[DismantledMacGuffin Nether Emblems]].
* HalloweenSpecial: Two in fact, one was a short spin off that didn't present much besides Halloween stories and only had Mario, Ash and Brock in it (currently on private mode) and the other was The Interactive Halloween (in which [[NightmareOnElmStreet Freddy]] and [[Film/{{Scream}} Ghostface]] try to kill the Mario Brothers.)
* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn]]: [[spoiler: Wario at the end of Season 3]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Every video game character in this.
* HilariousOuttakes: Blame Matt (Wario) for them being so gosh darn funny.
* HongKongDub: Episode 27.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: Walgina, Waluigi's Real World Girlfriend
* IfYouWontIWill: Subverted when Wario attempts to say this to Mario about [[spoiler: fighting Luigi]], but Mario interrupts, saying, "It has to be me."
* IKnowMortalKombat: In Act 1, Ash got [[spoiler: the Mario Bros. and Peach out of prison]] by playing Ace Attorney for over 100 hours (as he finished playing Pokemon Platinum early).
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: Variant, Mario tries this before his fight with [[spoiler: a {{Brainwashed}} Luigi]]. [[spoiler:It works at the end, though.]]
* ImprobableAimingSkills: The General of the Darkness' army doesn't fight much, but when he does, he has yet to miss with a gun.
* InterruptedByTheEnd: Episode 13 has this
* InterspeciesRomance: Between Pauline and DonkeyKong, much to Mario's disgust.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: The opening of Episode 55 only.
* ItsAllMyFault: Mario says this during the season 2 premiere. Because the warp pipes are not working, Mario says it's his fault that there are no heroes in their world.
* ItHasBeenAnHonor:
** Luigi says this to Mario in episode 43, when Mario and Luigi discover that they are the only two people that can go up against the BigBad [[spoiler: Wario]], as they might not survive.
** [[spoiler: Also happens in Act II Part 4 with [[MetalGearSolid Solid Snake]] to Mario]]
* ItsPersonal: Wario wanting to destroy Mario in Season 3
* JerkAss:
** Bob and Joe of RMA Studios.
** Wario and Waluigi in ealier seasons.

** Mario himself has even shown this throughout the show, but it shows up most prominently in Season 4.
* KilledOffForReal:

** Pauline, which surprised most people. But it was intended to be DeathAsComedy
* LanguageOfMagic: [[spoiler: the counter curse in Act 2 Part 6 of TheMovie]]
* LargeHam:
** Any role played by Richard
** Wario ''is'' this trope in earlier seasons, and has become one again after season three where he was a [[spoiler:BigBad]].
** Max Payne appears to be this so far.
* LaserBlade: Like in SuperSmashBros, they are [[WritingAroundTrademarks called Beam Swords]].
** Lampshaded by Wario and Mario in Season 4
--> Wario: So why do we fight with Li.... uhh I mean Beam Swords?
--> Mario: I don't know. They use them in Super Smash Brothers.
* LighterAndSofter: Season 4 [[spoiler: until The Darkness and Decious return]]. Previously we've dealt with evil copies of Mario and Luigi, Bowser, and a temporarily evil Wario. Now we have comic relief ninjas.
* LoonyFan: More like a Crazy-obsessed-stalker-who-makes-you-unable-to-sleep-at-night Fan, as evidenced by her "Let's Get Hammered" Mario T-Shirt.
* MacGuffin: The Nether Saber and the Truth Stone.
* ManipulativeBastard: In Season Four, Professor Oak willingly tricks Gary and Brock into doing several mundane tasks for him just so they could find out from him which one of them sucks more. [[spoiler: Oak eventually claims they equally suck for not turning down the tasks. As a result the two fight over which one of them hates each other the most which Oak uses to his advantage once more.]]
* MediumAwareness: Plenty. For example, Wario complains about being unable to get a flashback.
* MindRape: [[spoiler: Luigi with his scenes with Decious...]]
* MoodWhiplash: As mentioned above, the first season was entirely focused on comedy, while becoming serious from Season Two onwards.
* MotiveRant: Happens quite often. A good example is [=FedEx=]'s confrontation with UPS in Episode 13.
* TheMovie: [[CaptainObvious The Movie]]
* MurderArsonAndJaywalking: In Episode 10:
--> Donkey Kong: Can you guys forgive me?
--> Mario: OF COURSE NOT! Did you think I would just forget about this, Pauline, and the toilet seat!
* MythologyGag: In Season Four, Wario and Mona end up in a relationship. In the ''VideoGame/{{WarioWare}}'' games, Mona [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim actually has something for Wario]]. (It should also be noted Wario's actor Matt and Mona's actor Erin are boyfriend and girlfriend).
* [[NewYearHasCome New Years Episode]]: In which Mario and Luigi celebrate the New Year and Wario is desperate to join them (noting the episode is non canon as a reason to join them) but is left with a hobo.
* NightmareSequence: Luigi has two concerning [[spoiler: Nox Decious]]
* {{Ninja}}: Though they are very lazy and stupid. But make for a FunnyBackgroundEvent.
* NoNameGiven: The "Package Delivery Men" are only known by the company the represent.
* NoPronunciationGuide: Ryu's name because of how Richard always pronounced it Rai-Yu instead of Rie-Yu when he was younger.
** Justified as a lot of people unfamiliar with Japanese names probably did the same as him, too. Whatever the case, though, it's still interesting to note that he chose to mispronounce it due to thinking the actual pronunciation sounded too lame, according to a forum post he made.
** By Season 5 it went back to its original pronounciation with Ryu claiming [[LampshadeHanging it was pronounced like that the entire time.]]
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: The Darkness TWICE as of Season 4]]
** [[spoiler: Liquid Snake in Season 4 only to die later.]]
** [[spoiler: Mario in Act II]]
* OhCrap: [[PrivateEyeMonologue "I said"]] courtesy of VideoGame/MaxPayne
* TheOtherDarrin: Donkey Kong has had many people in his costume
** Even the costume itself has changed in Season 4 (as they didn't actually own the original)
* OverlyLongGag: Mario's BigNo after a [[LoonyFan crazy fan]] stole his hat.
* OnceAnEpisode:
** In the first season it was the mailbox and the running up the hill
** And also, they recently had the Subscribe Voice at the end of the episodes
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: The reason [[spoiler: Wario killed Nox Decious]]
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Played with. In season three, after Mario's accent vanishes, Luigi notices it and says they're beginning to sound more Irish. Cue Mario denying it... in an Irish Accent.
* {{Pirates}}: In The Interactive Adventure and are part of The Darkness's Army in Season Five.
* PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel: A pretty unique one too as Richard performs a funny voice at the end of every episode (and video for that matter) that goes like this:
** -> "Please Subscribe, it's free and easy. Just click the Yellow Button and for every time you subscribe to Richalvarez *followed by a witty line or joke*"
* PrivateEyeMonologue: Max Payne says his out loud, parodied in that Max has one in the games.
* PublicDomainSoundtrack: ''Dance of the Knights'' from Prokofiev's ''Romeo and Juliet Ballet'' is used as Nox Decious' theme.
* PutOnABus / WrittenInAbsence: Happens quite a bit.
** Waluigi has this happen [[spoiler: when Waluigi gives the others his powers and falls into a coma]], thanks to the actor living quite far away.
** Brock, played by Austin, has the same problem.
** Peach and Walgina had this happen for a different reason--they've since broken up with the main actors.
* RageAgainstTheMentor: [[spoiler: Mario to Merlin on Link's death]]
* RefugeeFromTVLand: The reason Mario and Luigi first come to the Real World is for a vacation.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Also happens quite a bit.
** Brock's actor moving to San Francisco.
** Doug's (Waluigi) trip to Australia.
** Peach's actress was Richard's (now ex) girlfriend, and Walgina's actress (also ex) was Doug's. Mona's actress is also Matt's (Wario) girlfriend.
* RuleOfFunny: Why Ganondorf's voice (done by Matt) is so ridiculous and [[EvilIsHammy Hammy]].
** But is no longer as serious as he is now Season Five's main villain.
* RunningGag: Plenty.
** Pokeballs never work
** DK chases the Wario Bros.
** Gary calls everyone a loser
** Donkey Kong wails every time someone mentions Pauline's death
** In the bloopers:
*** the "20 Dollars" joke
*** Matt shouting out random things that appear on the camera. (For example, "BEN & JERRY'S!" and "LUMBERRRRRRRR!")
*** "I roll with gangs", a joke originally made in Episode 1's bloopers.
*** There's also "From Mona?", which started from a joke in Episode 51's bloopers. It later appears in the bloopers for Episode 53, and seems to be on it's way to becoming a Running Gag.
* SadTimesMontage: Episode 2, after Luigi leaves
* SchoolIsForLosers: Brock reasons his return from Reffing School was because "School is for Slow-pokes".
** Subverted when he revealed in Season Four that he finished Reffing school with honours.
* SdrawkcabName: Nilrem
* [[spoiler: ScrewThisImOuttaHere]]: [[spoiler: Ness performs this, also pointing out he's a kid]]
* SharingABody: [[spoiler: Luigi and Nox Decious]] not only share a body [[spoiler:but used to share a mind]].
* {{Shout Out}}s:
** A lot to Nintendo. This ''is'' a Mario series.
*** SuperSmashBros in several instances like mention of Roy getting replaced by Ike.
*** Luigi's entire story in "The Interactive Adventure" is a Shout Out to VideoGame/LuigisMansion.
** In Season Three, Master Miller's appearance and Snake, Otacon and Ash's journey to destroy the Nether Saber is one to MetalGearSolid. [[spoiler: As Wario like Liquid was actually Master Miller and him tricking Snake into activating the Nether Saber is like Liquid tricking Snake into activating Metal Gear Rex]].
** Wario's new costume is his biker outfit from ''VideoGame/{{WarioWare}}''.
* Episode 27's HongKongDub is this to KungPow.
** To {{Lord of the Rings}}
->'''Link:''' You can have my sword and shield.
->'''Peach:''' And you have my umbrella.
->'''Donkey Kong:''' And you have my fists.
->'''Ash and Brock:''' [[DoubleEntendre AND YOU CAN HAVE OUR BALLS!]]
-> {{beat}}
->'''Ash:''' Poké Balls, that is....
** Plus from Season 5:
->'''Snake:''' Uggh You're late
->'''Donkey Kong:''' *Crazy rambling*
->'''Ness:''' DK says "A Gorilla is never late, neither is he early and you're lucky if he arrives at all."
** To {{Airplane}}
->'''Mario:''' Ganon under orders of the peoples of free Earth I hereby outlaw you from this planet.
->'''The League:''' *bursts into laughter*
->'''Ganondorf:''' Surely that's not the best you can do?
->'''Mario:''' Oh I can do better and don't call me Shirley
* SayMyName: Happens during Mario's battle with Nox Decious.
* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness: Each season was either silly or serious thanks to an UnpleasableFanbase.
* SoulJar: [[spoiler: Luigi]]
* SpinOff:
** Though there's no official one, the Ash and Brock series comes close.
** Richard has also said on multiple occasions that he plans for a UPS Spin Off (now confirmed as an Interactive Adventure).
* SpiritualSuccessor:
** "Super Mario News" on Machinima
** The actors actually make occasional videos for Machinima, like the "Super Mario Drive Thru" series, "Dr. Mario Begins", "Super Mario Chat Roulette 1 & 2" and the "Snez Pez" series.
* SpoilerOpening: The opening sequences for Seasons 2 and 3. Which is why there's no opening for Season 4 or 5.
* SuperMode: Like in the games, Mario + Fire Flower = Fire Mario
* TakingYouWithMe: In their second fight, Liquid [[spoiler: shoots Snake after being shot himself]] while calling out this trope by name, but [[spoiler: fails as Snake was wearing a bulletproof vest.]]
* TalkingToThemself: The actors are all the main actors' friends. This leaves them with a lot of doubling up.
* TerribleIntervieweesMontage: Mario and Luigi suffer this while trying to start the band in Season 1.
* ThatManIsDead: [[spoiler: Luigi is dead! But Mr L has just been born!]]
* TheManBehindTheMan / TheBigBadShuffle: [[spoiler: The Darkness and Decious both seem to take turns antagonizing the other, while also antagonizing the heroes.]]
* TheOtherDarrin: DK has been played by many actors within the suit and is made more hilarious when they changed the suit (as the original wasn't owned by the filmmakers).
** Bowser is replaced for Season 5 by Austin (Brock).
* [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch I Am Old And Will Be Gone... Bitch]]
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: during Wario's battle with the Darkness in The Movie, [[spoiler: Wario pretends to be dead and hurls his Beam Saber through the Darkness' gut, which seemingly kills him.]] However,[[spoiler: as Waluigi failed to bestow a [[LanguageOfMagic counter-curse]] upon Wario before his prolonged absence, the Darknessis still immortal and gets back up later on.]]
->[[spoiler: '''Darkness:''']] Gee, that stung!
* ToiletHumour: Quite a bit. While {{justified}} by the source material (as Wario has a fart attack), it is disliked by several fans. This caused a funny TakeThat by Julian (Snake) over the forums:
-->If you guys hate toilet humor, then you're going to hate the next episode when I eat poop and smear it on my face while throwing it at Mario's face and then swimming in a diarrhea fountain.
* TookALevelInBadass: Mario in "The Interactive Adventure." He then Lampshades this.
-> '''Mario:''' Hmm. I can't believe I just did that. I'm supposed to be a fun loving video game character. Oh well!.
* TrainingFromHell: Link makes the Mario Bros. endure rigorous training in order to be ready to fight [[spoiler:Nox Decious]]
** Subverted in that it amounts to [[spoiler:them playing SuperSmashBros]], but Mario and Luigi react as if the trope were played straight.
* TrainingMontage:
** "The Zero Hour"
** Also episode 14
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: The Darkness against Decious.
* TwoActStructure: The Movie.
* UnusualEuphemism: Ash often uses terms or "Pokéswears," like "son of a Bulbasaur". He uses it so much it's close to being an Internet {{meme}}.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Link was originally played by someone else (the voice at the end of Season 1) but he was unavailable for Season 2.
** Christian (Ryu) could've played Kid Icarus in Season 2
** Julian (Snake) was a big fan of ResidentEvil4 and wanted to be Leon in the show.
** Dane was given the option of playing [[EarthBound Ness]] or Ash. He chose Ash cause he loved Pokémon. Too bad it didn't last.
** Richard (Mario and co-creator) during Season 1 almost wrote several episodes that took place before Mario's very first trip to the Mushroom Kingdom, where he was a normal teenager working part time at a plumbing company, and where Merlin opens the portal to the Mushroom Kingdom and gives him his hat. However he and Chris (Luigi and co-creator) decided that is was too much backstory for a comedy show.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** Is Waluigi still employed at the printer shop?
** What was in the letter meant for Mario in Episiode 22?
** The $8000 Mario and Luigi got from the {{Mafia}}. WordOfGod claims they used it to pay Max Payne.
* TheWikiRule: [[http://stupidmariobros.wikia.com/wiki/Stupid_Mario_Brothers_Wiki Stupid Mario Bros. Wiki]]. It's still under construction though.
* WimpFight: Appears ''a lot'' in a form called "Slap Combat"
* WordOfSaintPaul: Kevin Chamberlain (Yoshi) owns a youtube account [[http://www.youtube.com/user/KTChamberlain here]] where he often does a series called History of Stupid Mario Brothers (inspired by {{Linkara}}'s HistoryOfPowerRangers) which shows his own opinion on the show and confirms several things in real life that Richie hasn't.
* WordOfGod:
** The creators and actors tend to go on the [[http://www.stupidmariobrosfansite.freeforums.org Fan Forums]] to answer fan's questions. A fan should be warned they don't go on as much as they used to, although Season 4 has already contained characters suggested by fans and now fans are bombarding them with villains for Season 5.
** Chris (Luigi) started a show called Wiki Weegee answering fans questions. This is his channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/SilverShadow721
* WorldOfHam
* [[spoiler: XanatosRoulette: The Darkness's whole plan at the end of Season Four]]
* YouDidntAsk: Mario and Luigi never asked Ash if he could play anything besides the Pokéflute.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Played with. [[spoiler: After Shadow Mario fulfilled his usefulness to Mr. L, he died, but not at the hands of Mr. L...]]

[[caption-width-right:246:[[TitleScream STUPID MARIO BROTHERS!]]]]
->"''And was like '[[ItWillNeverCatchOn yeah this is crap it's going nowhere]]'...Boy was I wrong!''"
-> Richard Michael Alvarez, creator of the series, on his opinion of the creation of the series
Stupid Mario Brothers is a relatively popular {{YouTube}} show hosted on [[http://www.youtube.com/user/Richalvarez Richalvarez]]'s channel. It is independently made by a group of friends who also made YoutubeNews which guest starred in Act I of the Movie and hosted the [[ElectionNight Mushroom Kingdom Election]] between Mario and Wario. [[spoiler: [[DarkHorseVictory Ash]] wins unexpectedly]].
The show features a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover of many {{Nintendo}} characters, as well as a few from from other franchises. It places them in the real world, where they can do anything from play their own game to saving the entire world.
Now has a [[Recap/StupidMarioBrothers recap page]] in construction which NeedsMoreLove.
----
!!This series provides examples of:
* ActionGirl: Mona
* ActingForTwo: Every actor has played more than one character.
* AGoodNameForARockBand: X and the Ys version with Johnny Mushroom and the Kingdoms.
** Along with Wario's short lived band Tommy Fungus and the Dungeons.
* AprilFoolsDay: Episode 55 was delayed for two weeks, replaced with a video PSA about smoking [[spoiler: by Snake]].
* AllJustADream: The beginning of Episode 46.
* AltumVidetur: Used lightly since Nox Decious was introduced.
* AsideGlance: After Link drank bad milk and the others said he won't be in Season Three, Ash says their fans will be pissed, but Mario says they'll get over it. Cue this trope.
* BackFromTheDead: Almost every villain. And it's lampshaded every time. The most notable example so far is a comment made by Snake to Blaire Vherestorm in Season 5:
--> Snake: You were dead, you came back. Vercetti was dead, he came back. What's the point of killing you if you're just gonna come back?
* BackStab: Practically a theme
* {{Badass}}: Snake and VideoGame/MaxPayne. (Note: they are both played by Julian)
* BadassBiker: Wario's ''VideoGame/{{WarioWare}}'' costume. (He still needs a bike though)
* BadassNormal: UPS and arguably Fed Ex. That is, when they don't use slap combat.
* BadassLongcoat: The Darkness sports one of these, as does Liquid Snake and Blaire Vherestorm.
* BerserkButton: If you know what's good for you, never dance in front of the Dance Instructor.
** Be sure to never pitch a video game idea to Bob and Joe. Ash succeeds with his Pokemon idea, however.
*** The Darkness has an unfunny one when Wario tells him he's still in Mario's shadow.
*** Do not insult AceOfBase (the band that sings The Sign) in front of UPS, or ELSE.
* BigBad:
** Season One: Wario and Waluigi
** Season Two: Nox Decious
** Season Three: Wario
** The Movie Act I: Bowser and Kamek
** The Movie Act II: The Darkness and [[spoiler: Mr. L]]
** Season Four: The Trifecta (a.k.a. Blaire, Ken and Liquid)
** Season Five: Ganondorf's Army AND The Darkness's Army
* BigBadDuumvirate: Season 5 although The Darkness and Decious are against each other with other villains.
* BigBadEnsemble: Season 5's two main enemies, Ganondorf's Army and The Darkness's Army
* [[spoiler: BoomHeadshot: How Snake kills Liquid the second time around.]]
** Repeated in Episode 61 with [[spoiler: Tommy Vercetti. Seriously.]]
* BoyBand: Johnny Mushroom and the Kingdoms - they even do music videos time to time, and are often said to be better than the JonasBrothers.
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: Blaire's offer for Ken to join the Trifecta was a promise of $10,000 and Chun-Li's head on a stick.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Happens quite often, the best known example being when [[spoiler: Snake, Otacon, and Ash visited Richard to make him edit their entire trip to Merlin's Table]].
* BreatherEpisode: Episode 45 and Act 1 of TheMovie
** Most episodes of any season before the season's respective BigBad shows up.
** All but the final episode of Season 1.
* BrickJoke: In "The Interactive Adventure," Luigi ended up [[ShoutOut inheriting a]] [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion mansion]]. In the first episode of Season 4 he sold it for a life supply of USB flash drives, [[spoiler: So he could never run out of memory]]. In Episode 53, [[spoiler: Mario returns after he gains his memory back prompting Luigi to suggest a flash drive]].
* BrokeEpisode: "The Interactive Adventure." Mario [[ForgotToPayTheBill was too lazy to pay rent]].
* BuffySpeak: "I believe it was my foot that had the stepping on!"
** "That was suck!"
* CainAndAbel: Merlin and Nox Decious.
* TheCakeIsALie: Or 'pizza' in this case!
* CallBack: Plenty, the most recent being the first episode of Season 4 (as well as Act I) recreating the opening to Season 1.
* TheCastShowoff:
** The Johnny Mushroom episodes
** episode 45 for Wario and Waluigi.
* CerebusSyndrome: The very first season largely centered on the Mario Bros. goofing off until Episode 15, after which they became much more serious while alternating between their serious and goofy selves: in Season Four, every character is a clever mix of both their serious and goofy selves, or as Mario puts it in Episode 57, "seriously funny."
* CharacterBlog: Two, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55SP0OCH7ZU&feature=channel_page Kamek]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4y7F7j7iK8 Mario]]
* ChekhovsSkill: UPS's first and later appearances show him singing I Saw the Sign. [[spoiler: Luigi eventually hires him to replace Mario as lead singer for JMK in Season 2]]
* TheChosenOne: or perhaps The Chosen Two: Mario and Wario
* ChristmasSpecial: In which UPS intern Francis makes a mistake, resulting in the Mario Brothers believing that the other brother did not get them a Christmas present.
* TheComicallySerious: Snake. Subverted in The Interactive Adventure when he tries to be funny but fails and is [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter beaten by Wario]]. But, by the end, he gets the SuperMarioBros laughing with a banana joke--that is, until Wario beats it with [[spoiler: Two Bananas]]
* ContinuityNod:
** Wario's job at the printer shop reappears in Act I as his Summer Job. This however leaves us to wonder [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse if Waluigi is still employed]].
** VideoGame/LuigisMansion is mentioned in Season 4.
* CoolVersusAwesome: Pirates vs Ninjas. The Age old fight.
* CrossOver / MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Nox Decious is actually a character from RMA Studios' ''King Arthur'' series. Although, none of the films featuring him have been released. In season 3 we see Merlin, who was also in their [[ArthurVsTheDruidsVsTheGrail King Arthur]] series; then in Act One of the Movie we see their other works, plus one video from a companion channel.

** The Narrator addressing the viewers about the fake ending of Season One: "Did you think that was the real ending? You're stupid, you must be one of those stupid people!".
* DismantledMacGuffin: The Nether Emblems.
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Mario in the Movie]]
* DoubleVision: used often due to the limited number of actors. The most notable example is probably any scene with Mario and Merlin, which requires a split screen.
* DyeingForYourArt: Richard did this with [[spoiler: The Darkness's red hair]]
** Only to change it back for Season 5 due to "Meh" reception.
** Also done with Julian for grey hair as old Snake and Austin when being Bowser.
* EasingIntoTheAdventure: Happens in the first episodes of seasons two and three, as well as in the first act of TheMovie
* TheEndOfTheBeginning: The season three finale was named this
* [[spoiler: EnemyMine: Mario and The Darkness's armys actually do this (much to everyone's surprise) to take down Ganon.]]

* EvilSorcerer: Nox Decious.
* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler: Wario]]
* FearfulSymmetry: Just watch Episode 29...
* FightingFromTheInside: [[spoiler: Luigi vs. Decious]]
* {{Fireballs}}: This is a Mario parody so it was pretty obvious.
* FiveManBand:
** TheHero: Mario
** TheLancer: Luigi
** TheBigGuy: Wario/Donkey Kong/Solid Snake
** TheSmartGuy / TagalongKid: Ness
** TheSixthRanger: Ryu
** TheChick: Mona
* FlashStep: After FedEx insults Ace of Bace, UPS literally defeats him and his group of ninjas in the blink of an eye.
* FloatingHeadSyndrome / EvilOverlooker: visible in [[http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll155/mcgamer_01/Comp2_00000_00000-1.png in this poster for The Movie]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** In the blooper/ramblings of Episode 31; Chris (the actor of Luigi) said "Well that's the end of Decious...[[spoiler: for now!"]]
** A lot of this was done in Season 3 for TheMovie.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Episode 55 and all following episodes are completely based around this... [[RecycledInSpace with NINJAS]].
* FunWithAcronyms: the [[TheMafia Mothers And Fathers Italian Association]]
* FunWithSubtitles:
** All letters from Bowser or any other character come with subtitles, regardless of whether you understand them or not.
** Michael Myers and Jason speak with subtitles in The Interactive Halloween.
* GenreSavvy: [[spoiler: Snake realizes his mistakes in his first fight with Liquid and makes sure to completely kill him the second time around.]]
* GottaCatchEmAll: Ash and Brock's main intention with Pokémon. They're based more on their original characterization in the early episodes of the anime than anything else.
** And collecting the [[DismantledMacGuffin Nether Emblems]].
* HalloweenSpecial: Two in fact, one was a short spin off that didn't present much besides Halloween stories and only had Mario, Ash and Brock in it (currently on private mode) and the other was The Interactive Halloween (in which [[NightmareOnElmStreet Freddy]] and [[Film/{{Scream}} Ghostface]] try to kill the Mario Brothers.)
* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn]]: [[spoiler: Wario at the end of Season 3]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Every video game character in this.

* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: Variant, Mario tries this before his fight with [[spoiler: a {{Brainwashed}} Luigi]]. [[spoiler:It works at the end, though.]]
* ImprobableAimingSkills: The General of the Darkness' army doesn't fight much, but when he does, he has yet to miss with a gun.
* InterruptedByTheEnd: Episode 13 has this
* InterspeciesRomance: Between Pauline and DonkeyKong, much to Mario's disgust.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: The opening of Episode 55 only.
* ItsAllMyFault: Mario says this during the season 2 premiere. Because the warp pipes are not working, Mario says it's his fault that there are no heroes in their world.
* ItHasBeenAnHonor:
** Luigi says this to Mario in episode 43, when Mario and Luigi discover that they are the only two people that can go up against the BigBad [[spoiler: Wario]], as they might not survive.
** [[spoiler: Also happens in Act II Part 4 with [[MetalGearSolid Solid Snake]] to Mario]]
* ItsPersonal: Wario wanting to destroy Mario in Season 3
* JerkAss:
** Bob and Joe of RMA Studios.
** Wario and Waluigi in ealier seasons.
** Snake can sometimes be this too but then becomes JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
** Mario himself has even shown this throughout the show, but it shows up most prominently in Season 4.
* KilledOffForReal:
** [[spoiler: Link. [[IGotBetter He Got Better]]]]

* LargeHam:
** Any role played by Richard
** Wario ''is'' this trope in earlier seasons, and has become one again after season three where he was a [[spoiler:BigBad]].
** Max Payne appears to be this so far.
* LaserBlade: Like in SuperSmashBros, they are [[WritingAroundTrademarks called Beam Swords]].
** Lampshaded by Wario and Mario in Season 4
--> Wario: So why do we fight with Li.... uhh I mean Beam Swords?
--> Mario: I don't know. They use them in Super Smash Brothers.
* LighterAndSofter: Season 4 [[spoiler: until The Darkness and Decious return]]. Previously we've dealt with evil copies of Mario and Luigi, Bowser, and a temporarily evil Wario. Now we have comic relief ninjas.
* LoonyFan: More like a Crazy-obsessed-stalker-who-makes-you-unable-to-sleep-at-night Fan, as evidenced by her "Let's Get Hammered" Mario T-Shirt.
* MacGuffin: The Nether Saber and the Truth Stone.
* ManipulativeBastard: In Season Four, Professor Oak willingly tricks Gary and Brock into doing several mundane tasks for him just so they could find out from him which one of them sucks more. [[spoiler: Oak eventually claims they equally suck for not turning down the tasks. As a result the two fight over which one of them hates each other the most which Oak uses to his advantage once more.]]
* MediumAwareness: Plenty. For example, Wario complains about being unable to get a flashback.
* MindRape: [[spoiler: Luigi with his scenes with Decious...]]

* MurderArsonAndJaywalking: In Episode 10:
--> Donkey Kong: Can you guys forgive me?
--> Mario: OF COURSE NOT! Did you think I would just forget about this, Pauline, and the toilet seat!
* MythologyGag: In Season Four, Wario and Mona end up in a relationship. In the ''VideoGame/{{WarioWare}}'' games, Mona [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim actually has something for Wario]]. (It should also be noted Wario's actor Matt and Mona's actor Erin are boyfriend and girlfriend).
* [[NewYearHasCome New Years Episode]]: In which Mario and Luigi celebrate the New Year and Wario is desperate to join them (noting the episode is non canon as a reason to join them) but is left with a hobo.
* NightmareSequence: Luigi has two concerning [[spoiler: Nox Decious]]
* {{Ninja}}: Though they are very lazy and stupid. But make for a FunnyBackgroundEvent.
* NoNameGiven: The "Package Delivery Men" are only known by the company the represent.
* NoPronunciationGuide: Ryu's name because of how Richard always pronounced it Rai-Yu instead of Rie-Yu when he was younger.
** Justified as a lot of people unfamiliar with Japanese names probably did the same as him, too. Whatever the case, though, it's still interesting to note that he chose to mispronounce it due to thinking the actual pronunciation sounded too lame, according to a forum post he made.
** By Season 5 it went back to its original pronounciation with Ryu claiming [[LampshadeHanging it was pronounced like that the entire time.]]
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: The Darkness TWICE as of Season 4]]
** [[spoiler: Liquid Snake in Season 4 only to die later.]]

** And also, they recently had the Subscribe Voice at the end of the episodes

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Played with. In season three, after Mario's accent vanishes, Luigi notices it and says they're beginning to sound more Irish. Cue Mario denying it... in an Irish Accent.
* {{Pirates}}: In The Interactive Adventure and are part of The Darkness's Army in Season Five.
* PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel: A pretty unique one too as Richard performs a funny voice at the end of every episode (and video for that matter) that goes like this:
** -> "Please Subscribe, it's free and easy. Just click the Yellow Button and for every time you subscribe to Richalvarez *followed by a witty line or joke*"
* PrivateEyeMonologue: Max Payne says his out loud, parodied in that Max has one in the games.
* PublicDomainSoundtrack: ''Dance of the Knights'' from Prokofiev's ''Romeo and Juliet Ballet'' is used as Nox Decious' theme.
* PutOnABus / WrittenInAbsence: Happens quite a bit.
** Waluigi has this happen [[spoiler: when Waluigi gives the others his powers and falls into a coma]], thanks to the actor living quite far away.
** Brock, played by Austin, has the same problem.
** Peach and Walgina had this happen for a different reason--they've since broken up with the main actors.
* RageAgainstTheMentor: [[spoiler: Mario to Merlin on Link's death]]
* RefugeeFromTVLand: The reason Mario and Luigi first come to the Real World is for a vacation.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Also happens quite a bit.
** Brock's actor moving to San Francisco.
** Doug's (Waluigi) trip to Australia.
** Peach's actress was Richard's (now ex) girlfriend, and Walgina's actress (also ex) was Doug's. Mona's actress is also Matt's (Wario) girlfriend.
* RuleOfFunny: Why Ganondorf's voice (done by Matt) is so ridiculous and [[EvilIsHammy Hammy]].
** But is no longer as serious as he is now Season Five's main villain.
* RunningGag: Plenty.
** Pokeballs never work
** DK chases the Wario Bros.
** Gary calls everyone a loser
** Donkey Kong wails every time someone mentions Pauline's death
** In the bloopers:
*** the "20 Dollars" joke
*** Matt shouting out random things that appear on the camera. (For example, "BEN & JERRY'S!" and "LUMBERRRRRRRR!")
*** "I roll with gangs", a joke originally made in Episode 1's bloopers.
*** There's also "From Mona?", which started from a joke in Episode 51's bloopers. It later appears in the bloopers for Episode 53, and seems to be on it's way to becoming a Running Gag.
* SadTimesMontage: Episode 2, after Luigi leaves
* SchoolIsForLosers: Brock reasons his return from Reffing School was because "School is for Slow-pokes".
** Subverted when he revealed in Season Four that he finished Reffing school with honours.

* [[spoiler: ScrewThisImOuttaHere]]: [[spoiler: Ness performs this, also pointing out he's a kid]]
* SharingABody: [[spoiler: Luigi and Nox Decious]] not only share a body [[spoiler:but used to share a mind]].
* {{Shout Out}}s:
** A lot to Nintendo. This ''is'' a Mario series.
*** SuperSmashBros in several instances like mention of Roy getting replaced by Ike.
*** Luigi's entire story in "The Interactive Adventure" is a Shout Out to VideoGame/LuigisMansion.
** In Season Three, Master Miller's appearance and Snake, Otacon and Ash's journey to destroy the Nether Saber is one to MetalGearSolid. [[spoiler: As Wario like Liquid was actually Master Miller and him tricking Snake into activating the Nether Saber is like Liquid tricking Snake into activating Metal Gear Rex]].
** Wario's new costume is his biker outfit from ''VideoGame/{{WarioWare}}''.
* Episode 27's HongKongDub is this to KungPow.
** To {{Lord of the Rings}}
->'''Link:''' You can have my sword and shield.
->'''Peach:''' And you have my umbrella.
->'''Donkey Kong:''' And you have my fists.
->'''Ash and Brock:''' [[DoubleEntendre AND YOU CAN HAVE OUR BALLS!]]
-> {{beat}}
->'''Ash:''' Poké Balls, that is....
** Plus from Season 5:
->'''Snake:''' Uggh You're late
->'''Donkey Kong:''' *Crazy rambling*
->'''Ness:''' DK says "A Gorilla is never late, neither is he early and you're lucky if he arrives at all."
** To {{Airplane}}
->'''Mario:''' Ganon under orders of the peoples of free Earth I hereby outlaw you from this planet.
->'''The League:''' *bursts into laughter*

->'''Mario:''' Oh I can do better and don't call me Shirley
* SayMyName: Happens during Mario's battle with Nox Decious.
* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness: Each season was either silly or serious thanks to an UnpleasableFanbase.
* SoulJar: [[spoiler: Luigi]]
* SpinOff:
** Though there's no official one, the Ash and Brock series comes close.
** Richard has also said on multiple occasions that he plans for a UPS Spin Off (now confirmed as an Interactive Adventure).
* SpiritualSuccessor:
** "Super Mario News" on Machinima
** The actors actually make occasional videos for Machinima, like the "Super Mario Drive Thru" series, "Dr. Mario Begins", "Super Mario Chat Roulette 1 & 2" and the "Snez Pez" series.
* SpoilerOpening: The opening sequences for Seasons 2 and 3. Which is why there's no opening for Season 4 or 5.
* SuperMode: Like in the games, Mario + Fire Flower = Fire Mario
* TakingYouWithMe: In their second fight, Liquid [[spoiler: shoots Snake after being shot himself]] while calling out this trope by name, but [[spoiler: fails as Snake was wearing a bulletproof vest.]]
* TalkingToThemself: The actors are all the main actors' friends. This leaves them with a lot of doubling up.
* TerribleIntervieweesMontage: Mario and Luigi suffer this while trying to start the band in Season 1.
* ThatManIsDead: [[spoiler: Luigi is dead! But Mr L has just been born!]]
* TheManBehindTheMan / TheBigBadShuffle: [[spoiler: The Darkness and Decious both seem to take turns antagonizing the other, while also antagonizing the heroes.]]
* TheOtherDarrin: DK has been played by many actors within the suit and is made more hilarious when they changed the suit (as the original wasn't owned by the filmmakers).
** Bowser is replaced for Season 5 by Austin (Brock).
* [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch I Am Old And Will Be Gone... Bitch]]
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: during Wario's battle with the Darkness in The Movie, [[spoiler: Wario pretends to be dead and hurls his Beam Saber through the Darkness' gut, which seemingly kills him.]] However,[[spoiler: as Waluigi failed to bestow a [[LanguageOfMagic counter-curse]] upon Wario before his prolonged absence, the Darknessis still immortal and gets back up later on.]]
->[[spoiler: '''Darkness:''']] Gee, that stung!
* ToiletHumour: Quite a bit. While {{justified}} by the source material (as Wario has a fart attack), it is disliked by several fans. This caused a funny TakeThat by Julian (Snake) over the forums:
-->If you guys hate toilet humor, then you're going to hate the next episode when I eat poop and smear it on my face while throwing it at Mario's face and then swimming in a diarrhea fountain.
* TookALevelInBadass: Mario in "The Interactive Adventure." He then Lampshades this.
-> '''Mario:''' Hmm. I can't believe I just did that. I'm supposed to be a fun loving video game character. Oh well!.
* TrainingFromHell: Link makes the Mario Bros. endure rigorous training in order to be ready to fight [[spoiler:Nox Decious]]
** Subverted in that it amounts to [[spoiler:them playing SuperSmashBros]], but Mario and Luigi react as if the trope were played straight.
* TrainingMontage:
** "The Zero Hour"
** Also episode 14
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: The Darkness against Decious.
* TwoActStructure: The Movie.
* UnusualEuphemism: Ash often uses terms or "Pokéswears," like "son of a Bulbasaur". He uses it so much it's close to being an Internet {{meme}}.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Link was originally played by someone else (the voice at the end of Season 1) but he was unavailable for Season 2.
** Christian (Ryu) could've played Kid Icarus in Season 2
** Julian (Snake) was a big fan of ResidentEvil4 and wanted to be Leon in the show.
** Dane was given the option of playing [[EarthBound Ness]] or Ash. He chose Ash cause he loved Pokémon. Too bad it didn't last.
** Richard (Mario and co-creator) during Season 1 almost wrote several episodes that took place before Mario's very first trip to the Mushroom Kingdom, where he was a normal teenager working part time at a plumbing company, and where Merlin opens the portal to the Mushroom Kingdom and gives him his hat. However he and Chris (Luigi and co-creator) decided that is was too much backstory for a comedy show.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** Is Waluigi still employed at the printer shop?
** What was in the letter meant for Mario in Episiode 22?
** The $8000 Mario and Luigi got from the {{Mafia}}. WordOfGod claims they used it to pay Max Payne.
* TheWikiRule: [[http://stupidmariobros.wikia.com/wiki/Stupid_Mario_Brothers_Wiki Stupid Mario Bros. Wiki]]. It's still under construction though.
* WimpFight: Appears ''a lot'' in a form called "Slap Combat"
* WordOfSaintPaul: Kevin Chamberlain (Yoshi) owns a youtube account [[http://www.youtube.com/user/KTChamberlain here]] where he often does a series called History of Stupid Mario Brothers (inspired by {{Linkara}}'s HistoryOfPowerRangers) which shows his own opinion on the show and confirms several things in real life that Richie hasn't.
* WordOfGod:
** The creators and actors tend to go on the [[http://www.stupidmariobrosfansite.freeforums.org Fan Forums]] to answer fan's questions. A fan should be warned they don't go on as much as they used to, although Season 4 has already contained characters suggested by fans and now fans are bombarding them with villains for Season 5.
** Chris (Luigi) started a show called Wiki Weegee answering fans questions. This is his channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/SilverShadow721
* WorldOfHam
* [[spoiler: XanatosRoulette: The Darkness's whole plan at the end of Season Four]]
* YouDidntAsk: Mario and Luigi never asked Ash if he could play anything besides the Pokéflute.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Played with. [[spoiler: After Shadow Mario fulfilled his usefulness to Mr. L, he died, but not at the hands of Mr. L...]]
