* HumongousMecha: Remember the Statue Of Liberty in ''Film/GhostbustersII''? Guess which character is used in the mashup. [[spoiler: It's ''[[{{Franchise/Metroid}} Samus]]''.]]

Future fans beware: his videos are '''''made of''''' [[ShoutOut references.]] [[Main/ReferenceOverdosed MANY references]]. And awesomeness, but that's almost needless to say at this point. Just watch his work and be amazed. To wit, he might have deserved his place in the same pantheon where [[{{Creator/Egoraptor}} Egoraptor]], [[{{Creator/MontyOum}} Monty Oum]] and [[WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosZ Alvin Earthworm]] can be found. He even was asked to do the annoucement trailer for Toejam and Earl: Back in the Groove.

* MinionWithAnFInEvil: The Kirby Marshmallows in ''[[Film/GhostbustersAfterlife Super Mario Busters 3 - Extra Life]]''. After bursting out of the CoolCar, they do nothing but run around aimlessly, cheer when the original heroes arrive, and one accidently ends up saving the day [[NiceJobFixingItVillain after it swallows some ghostbusting weapons, transforming it into the Polterbust [=XXL=] that stops Rozer and her minions once and for all.]]

* DarthVaderClone: Phantom Lord Ganon-Darth. The role suits Ganondorf like a glove since he already had quite a few superficial similarities to Vader.

* {{Adorkable}}: If you thought [[{{Characters/Ghostbusters}} Egon]] couldn't be any more adorkable, check out the two ''Super Mario Busters'' videos. He's played by ''[[{{Characters/SuperMarioBros}} Luigi]]''.

* ReferenceOverdosed: '''''[[ShoutOut Good God.]]''''' The ''WebAnimation/SuperSmashWars'' series takes the cake, as the ''Franchise/StarWars'' characters are mashed up with people coming from all over the Nintendo spectrum, even including Smash Bros's third party characters.

* HilariousInHindsight: Obi-Wan Kenobi is portrayed by [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOrcianaOfTime Kaepora Gaebora]] in the New Hope parody. Come Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020, and Sonic describes his caretaker Longclaw as "Obi-Wan Kenobi if he had a beak and ate mice,". Longclaw even pulls a HeroicSacrifice like Obi-Wan.

To that end, this channel represents all the things I love the most. [[BadassBoast Animation, innovation, and the best family a fanboy could ask for.]]"''

* {{Crossover}}: Specializes in these. Notably, his crossovers are more like mashups of two different universes, and {{counterpart comparison}}s are directly avoided in that the [[CompositeCharacter mashed up]] characters provide a perfect fit for each other (Franchise/DonkeyKong as [[{{Characters/StarWars}} Chewbacca]] is the first among many examples).

[[http://www.youtube.com/user/jamesrfarr James Farr]] is, aside from the mind behind WebAnimation/TrainsFormers and WebAnimation/{{Xombie}}, a popular WebSite/YouTube animator, best known for his [[http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcITr-JYOyYpaLSJOGEyo2LQxMgULLhM5 "Saturday Morning Multiverse"]] series of mash-ups, with each half of any crossover being a perfect fit for the other: examples include ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Teenage Mutant]] [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Koopa Troopas]]'', ''[[Series/DoctorWho Blink]] [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture To The Future]]'', and ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Super Mario]] [[{{Franchise/Ghostbusters}} Busters]]''. His most ambitious project to date, ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash]] [[{{Franchise/StarWars}} Wars]]'', has gotten so big (started as a standalone parody of ''[[{{Film/ANewHope}} A New Hope]]'' and got a surprise ''two-part'' [[{{Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack}} sequel]] in January 2014) that it deserved a [[http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcITr-JYOyYr2NV7uWkwoCZvhpevDUf6c separate playlist.]]

* AdaptationalVillainy: Mario as [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 The Shredder]], while in turn the Koopa Troopas (possibly the [[VideoGame/PaperMario Koopa Bros.]]) get some AdaptationalHeroism as the titular TMKT; justified as in the crossover, each character [[CompositeCharacter plays a role]]. Same goes for other examples such as [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass Linebeck]] and (as the darkened silhouette in the same scene seems to imply) [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Solid Snake]] working for the Empire in ''The Empire Smashes Back''.

* ArtEvolution: His earlier videos were already gorgeous to begin with, and have only gotten better with time. ''Super Smash Wars'' is a sight to behold.
* ButtMonkey: Sonic Calrissian, in ''Super Smash Wars: The Empire Smashes Back'', mostly serves as Donkey Kong[[CharacterizationTags !]]Chewbacca's punching bag. Justified as he did betray them to Lord Ganon-Darth and let Mario[[CharacterizationTags !]]Han be turned into a trophy. It continues through the first half of ''Return of the Hero'' until he finally gets his moment that subverts the trope in the second half.
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: Link avoids a nasty fall in ''The Empire Smashes Back'' thanks to the hookshot he got in ''A Link To The Hope'']].
* CirclingBirdies: Link gets them after falling out of bed in ''Super Smash Wars''.

* CoolSword: The Master Sword as a Lightsaber, resulting in one of the coolest fictional swords ever conceived.

** The Emperor himself is triple mash-up, of Palpatine (naturally), [[spoiler:Mewtwo and Majora's Mask.]]
** Similarly, [[DarthVaderClone Phantom Lord]] Ganon-Darth looks like the ''Wind Waker'' version of Phantom Ganon crossed with Darth Vader, but has the personality, overall role, and [[spoiler:unmasked face]] of Ganondorf himself.
** Princess Peach as Princess Leia in ''Super Smash Wars''. In ''Return of the Hero'', she also disguises herself as Sniper Joe (as Boushh). [[spoiler:Like the Emperor, she's actually a triple mash-up, even without the Sniper Joe disguise: it is later revealed in ''Return of the Hero'' that Peach is secretly Princess Zelda in disguise.]]

* DeconstructiveParody: Remember the [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Galaxy selection screen?]] Have fun looking at it, repurposed as ''the display for a planetary destroyer''.
* TheForce: Which, in ''Super Smash Wars'', obviously goes by the name of [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Triforce.]]
* HeroicMime: [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Link]] [[StarWars Skywaker]] keeps his status as demanded by his first name; as for his second name, any dialogue is replaced by either pantomime or as a response through captions/textboxes.

* IAmNotShazam: InUniverse, Link does not actually share a name with his ''Star Wars'' counterpart; his last name is Sky'''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker waker]]'''

* MoodWhiplash:
** The famous "puzzle solved jingle" from ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' can be heard ''right after'' [[spoiler: the words [[LukeIAmYourFather "I am your father"]] appear on screen]].
** And the ensuing BigNo is represented by the choosing of an option "Not really" from the menu.
** ''The Triforce Awakens'' Part 2 plays Ping Pong with the mood due to the buildup of [[spoiler:Han Brolo's death at the hands of his son]] being interrupted by several ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker''-style commentary windows warning him to turn back being just the first of many within about 30 seconds.

* '''ReferenceOverdosed:''' ''[[ShoutOut Good God.]]'' The ''Super Smash Wars'' series takes the cake, as the ''Franchise/StarWars'' characters are mashed up with people coming from all over the Nintendo spectrum, even including Smash Bros's third party characters.
* RobotHand: The Power Glove appears as [[spoiler: Link Skywaker's robotic hand]].
* SingleTear: Link Skywaker sheds one as he's forced to escape from [[DoomedHometown the destruction of his village.]]
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In contrast to the fate of the Tauntaun Yoshi takes the role of, he's revived by a 1up mushroom.
* StockScream: The Wilhelm Scream features OnceAnEpisode in the ''Super Smash Wars'' series and in ''The Wiivengers''.
* TakenForGranite: The carbonite gag is used here, accomplished by the black arrow from ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''.
* TakeThat: As a joke at both Nintendo's and its fans' expense in ''The Empire Smashes Back''. [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Owlbi-Wan Kaepora]][[spoiler: 's ghost]] asks Link [[FandomNod if he understood what Yodachu taught him]]. Link ''does'' [[TakeThat give him an annoyed look]], but then he chooses the correct option by [[TakeThatAudience scrolling between "yes" and "no" as slowly as any player should.]]
* ThatsNoMoon: ''A Link To The Hope'' has this trope, par of the course when it comes to a ''Franchise/StarWars'' parody. [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Guess which moon they went with?]]]]
* {{Troll}}: Yodachu. His laughter is from the early {{Anime/Pokemon}} episodes.
* VisualPun: During the Battle of Endor equivalent, Sonic Calrissian's call sign is Gold Leader.[[note]][[DontExplainTheJoke Sonic himself has gone Super Sonic (and turned gold) for the battle.]][[/note]]

** Similarly, [[DarthVaderClone Phantom Lord]] SelfDemonstrating/{{Ganon}}-[[SelfDemonstrating/DarthVader Darth]] looks like the ''Wind Waker'' version of Phantom Ganon crossed with Darth Vader, but has the personality, overall role, and [[spoiler:unmasked face]] of Ganondorf himself.
