* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The manual states that the Goombas are what happens to traitorous Toads. If Princess Peach has great magic powers like the above entry suggests, who do you think is carrying out their sentences?
* AntiClimaxBoss: The final Bowser is basically unchanged from every other one. Like the fake Bowsers in worlds 6 and 7, he tosses hammers, but that's it.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The Overworld theme is probably the most well-known song in all of gaming. The Underwater theme isn't too bad either.
* DemonicSpiders: Hammer Bros. and Lakitus. The former throws hammers that make it hard to dodge and attack them, especially since touching the hammers at all counts as a hit, and jump a lot making it hard to hit them. Their jumping can often make jumping on them a risk, because unless you hit the top of them, then you get hit instead. They can also jump downward from platorms, meaning if they're on a set of blocks, trying to hit them from below can easily result in them killing you. Lakitus... oh boy... those bastards are on clouds at the top of the screen, and it's extremely rare to come across a point that lets you get high enough to hit them. For attacks, they drop spinies, which you can't jump on. So to recap, you, for the most part, can't hit them, and they drop a constant supply of enemies you can't kill unless you have a fire flower.
* MemeticMutation: "...but our princess is in another castle!"
* UnfortunateImplications: Basically, as some players noted, Mario's design resembled Soviet leader Josef Stalin, Mario is the hero of the game, and the ending of a level basically depicts Mario putting down a flag that slightly resembles the peace sign and hoisting a flag that has the Soviet Red Star, causing many unfortunate implications on Soviet support. In one ''Magazine/NintendoPower'' issue, this issue was even addressed in the mailbag section, although the staff denied the resemblance, even trying to put Mario's moustache on the Russian boxer/soldier from Rocky IV.

* BizarroEpisode: The US ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'' (known as ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2 Super Mario USA]]'' in Japan) is pretty much this, as it has nothing to do with the rest of the main platformer series [[spoiler:and is revealed to be AllJustADream in the end]]. This was because it wasn't the actual sequel to the original Super Mario Bros. The Japanese version of Super Mario Bros 2. (called ''SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels'' in the US) was the real sequel, directly following the previous game, while the US version was actually an entirely different game called Doki Doki Panic, only with four Mario characters added in place of DDP's characters. This was done because SMB:TLL was deemed too difficult and too similar to the original game. US players had to wait until SuperMarioAllStars, a collection of remakes for the NES, came out to play The Lost Levels. So the Mario platformer series has TWO second installments, though SMB2:TLL is the actual canon sequel while SMB2: USA is a BLAM episode. YMMV on which you prefer though.
