10	!!This series provides examples of:
11
12	* AbsurdPhobia: Red Yoshi is horrified of ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''.
13	* AbusiveParents: Yellow Yoshi bullies and berates his son far too often.
14	* AdaptationalDumbass: Bowser, King Dedede, Toad, Wario, Wallace and Woody . Bowser cares more about watching kid shows than doing anything evil and and can’t even answer basic math equations, Dedede always talks about lunchboxes, Toad has a creepy crush on Koopa and wears man diapers because he can’t use the toilet , Wario is a walking ToiletHumor joke rather than using it occasionally like his canon self and Woody and Wallace are both [[TalkativeLoon talkative loons]].
15	* AdaptationalJerkass: The show has these in spades. The Yoshis range from sociopathic pranksters to psychotic ex-wives. Mario and Luigi go from loving siblings to spite filled rivals who bicker too much and Deadpool goes from a 4th wall breaking wisecracker to a heartless murderous thug who’s a far cry from his original self to name a few.
16	* AdaptationalVillainy: Deadpool goes from an anti hero to a very merciless thug.
17	* AsianSpeekeeEngrish: Yellow Yoshi and Yellow Yoshi Jr speak replacing Ls for Rs. For example, lose becomes roose.
18	* AuthorAvatar: Blue Yoshi and Shurreto. The latter of which is a plush form of The creator's avatar, and name is Japanese for shadow, which is the creator's allias. Meanwhile, the former is the creator's self insert of his life , an example being Blue Yoshi and Isabelle breaking up to reflect a relationship problem Shadow the creator had
19	* BerserkButton:
20	** Do not accuse [[BigBad Bowser]] of watching kid shows on his [=iPad=] or else he will bug you.
21	** The mere existance of the ''WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder'' reboot or [[Music/TheWiggles Emma , Lachy or Simon Wiggle]] will also peeve Bowser off.
22	** Don't call Mario a fat Italian plumber or else he will yell at you for it.
23	** In a episode of VideoGame/MarioSportsMix related Plush Gaming, Waluigi learns the hard way not to call [[TheUnintelligible Donkey Kong]] a stinky zoo animal as the latter beats the former up and screams monkey noises at him.
24	** Isabelle will beat you up if you call her Isabella or the b-word as Purple Yoshi will attest to or Gromit.
25	* BigBadDuumvirate: The Chocolate Master (until he stopped appearing only to return [[spoiler:to have a HeelFaceTurn]]), Bowser, and Deadpool. Mostly Deadpool as he threatens to plunge Vesterland In despair and threatens to kill the cast at times.
26	* BigBadWannabe: Mickey Mouse tries to buy Vesterland to enslave everyone and build an amusement park , but Blue Yoshi rejects his offers everytime. That being said however, Mickey is still a threat as he tries to buy other things to ruin people's lives and even keeps Deadpool in check as Mickey owns his franchise.
27	* BigShutUp: Mario has this reaction whenever he hears Link's horrible singing.
28	* ButtMonkey: Link and Bowser. They are usually made fun of by the cast and Link often gets beat up by Mario.

33	** Mario also commonly says "You Idiot Link!" when Link messes something up.
34	** Dedede: "I like lunchbox."
35	* CatsAreMean: Vester the cat is corrupt, rude, greedy, and arrogant. An example would be him not caring that his friends might have died at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
36	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: The Chocolate Master stopped appearing after 2015. He returned in 2021 in a new plush form as he was previously a man under a blue blanket. [[spoiler:He previously came back in the movie to defeat Deadpool]]
37	* CloudCuckooLander: King Dedede always talks about lunchboxes despite not knowing what a lunchbox is. On one occasion he even called the remote a lunchbox.
38	** Woody is a silly cowboy who is still in diapers , despite being an adult, and says that he will be in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' even though he is not from a video game.
39	* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: In a few episodes of Plush Gaming, as punishment for his pranks, Blue Yoshi, Sonic and Link tie up Red Yoshi and force him to play/watch them play ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''. Since Red Yoshi is scared of that game, its torture for him.
40	* TheDitz: Yellow Yoshi Jr and Toad are dumb enough to the point where they can't answer simple math equations.
41	* DreadfulMusician: Link's dreadful and shrill attempts to sing his theme song results in Mario telling him to shut up.

43	* EntertainmentBelowTheirAge: Bowser loves watching kid shows such as ''WesternAnimation/WowWowWubbzy'' and ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'' on his iPad. In the case of the former, he even starts dancing to the intro.

45	** "Haw-Ho."

49	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:The Chocolate Master comes back from the dead and changes his evil ways to defeat Deadpool once and for alll.]]
50	* InterspeciesRomance: Blue Yoshi (a dinosaur) and Isabelle (a dog) were dating for a long while. This lasted until ''Total Drama Plush R: Aftermath'' where they broke up to avoid Purple Yoshi further damaging Isabelle's mental health.
51	* LessEmbarrassingTerm: When others call the shows Bowser watches kids shows (because they are), he claims the shows are for adults. In one example during an episode of Plush Gaming, when Isabelle calls ''WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder'' a kid show, Bowser calls it an adult show and its rated 18+.
52	* MaliciousMisnaming: Among the names people call Link are "Peter Pan", "Pajama Boy", "Elsa Pan", and on one occasion, "Linky Winky".
53	* MayorPain: Vester the cat is the selfish, greedy and lazy mayor of Vesterland. He often embezzles money from his citizens.
54	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Mario usually beats up Link for making problems worse. On one occasion he beats up Link for losing to Bowser and Bowser Jr to a video game.
55	* OnlySaneMan: Mario and Blue Yoshi live in a world filled with oddballs. They usually play the Straight Man in the plush gaming videos.
56	* OutOfFocus: Aside from a select few, most of the secondaries from the 2016-2020 era have vanished in 2023. Wallace, King Dedede, Mickey Mouse, The Koopalings, The Inklings, Bowser Junior , Nabbit, Dry Bones, Ash Ketchum and Silver to name a few.
57	* ThePigpen: While it isn't visible, White Yoshi hasn't showered in years.
58	* PottyFailure: Woody often proclaims he crapped in his adult diaper and never makes it to the bathroom on time.
59	* ThePrankster: Red Yoshi pulls pranks that humiliate the other characters. For example, he deletes Yellow Yoshi's study notes and disrupts Blue Yoshi and Isabelle's private time by showing them ''Brum''.
60	* ProtagonistAndFriends: Vester may not be the main character, but it still has an -and friends suffix.
61	* RecordNeedleScratch: Two varations of the sound are frequently used throughout the show. A short one used during small awkward moments like Wario farting or saying something inappropriate, and a slightly longer one used for big awkward moments like Toad kissing someone or Bowser watching kid shows.
62	* TheShutIn: Bowser only stays inside watching kid shows on his iPad. Only wanting to go outside if there is a Mr. Whippy ice cream truck going past the house.
63	* SiblingRivalry: Luigi and Mario always call each other "Skinny whinny" or "Fat Italian plumber."
64	* StartOfDarkness: Deadpool used to be just one of the guys until Mario banished him for being a mature character. Since then he has been trying to take Vesterland into despair.
65	* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Almost all of the Plush Gaming videos have this sort of paring . Here are three examples.
66	** Yellow Yoshi (Straight Man) and Toad (Wise Guy). In the episode where they play ''VideoGame/MarioGolf'' Toad annoys Yellow Yoshi by kissing him and telling him about his crush on Koopa.
67	** Isabelle (Straight Man) and Bowser (Wise Guy). In the episode where they play ''VideoGame/MarioKart 8 Deluxe'' Bowser annoys Isabelle by talking about his favorite kid shows like ''WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder'' and ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse''.
68	** Link (Straight Man) and Woody (Wise Guy). Where they play ''VideoGame/JustDance'' Woody dances like crazy to ''Let It Go'' to the dismay of Link.
69	* SuckinessIsPainful: On an episode of Plush Gaming. Bowser forces Dry Bones to watch him play ''My Friend WesternAnimation/PeppaPig''. The Skeleton Koopa ends up so tortured by the gameplay that he steals the controller from the Koopa King and closes the game.
70	* ToiletHumor: As always, Wario constantly talks about pooping on the toilet , farting or [[AssShove shoving things up his butt.]]
71	* UnmanlySecret: Bowser watches kid shows and gets humiliated when the others walk in on him. For example, in ''Sonic's Revenge'' , he watches ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'' and gets embarrassed when Sonic sees him.
72	* WouldHurtAChild: Deadpool shoots or threatens to shoot Toad or Baby Mario multiple times. Both of which are children. All without a dent in Deadpools mind.
