* NeverLiveItDown: Luigi mentions that he wants to eat spaghetti only once in the whole game, but that's enough for Youtube Poopers to depict him with a spaghetti addiction.

And to add insult to injury, these are, in fact, ''[[MoneyMauling real coins]]'' she showers you with, which immediately get added to your coin counter as they hit you. In other words, ''you're pinching them just as they're pinching you back.''

Fan remixes shouldn't be included. Luigi is one of the main character, so he can't be a dark horse.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Gay Luigi, in spite of the few lines he gets, is extremely popular in the WebAnimation/YouTubePoop community, to the point where it overshadows that of [[WesternAnimation/SuperMarioWorld Mama Luigi]].

About unused not poorly used plots.


* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Watching videos of the gameplay, you wouldn't think it was that bad. If not for the CD-i's horrible controls, and if the game had a plot that didn't utterly fail as even an ExcusePlot by not giving any explanation for what exactly you're doing in the levels, (or at least just stuck to NoPlotNoProblem) you would end up with a much better game than ''Hotel Mario''.

* AccidentalInnuendo: "Be careful! When you pinch Wendy's pennies, they pinch back!" The line was meant to be taken literally, given how [[ChestMonster some of the coins in her hotel are hostile]], but [[ItMakesSenseInContext without the gameplay in context]] it just sounds vaguely dirty.

* SoOkayItsAverage: Aside from minor issues such as getting hit by enemies on a different floor from you, several people believe the gameplay is inoffensive. It's fairly playable, but lacks the depth and progression of most other ''Mario'' games.

* ValuesDissonance: This game was made before ''[[VideoGame/PaperMario64 Paper Mario]]'' subverted the AlwaysChaoticEvil trope, and changed how players saw the races associated with the Koopa clan. Therefore, modern players will be surprised by the plumbers' [[FantasticRacism racist tone]] towards Koopas, especially in the case of Luigi:
