History Memes / SuperMarioBros

* Wario dies in X while doing Y. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Many fans in 2019 started uploading videos that had audio mixed with various Wario soundbites which portrayed Wario dying under comically bizarre circumstances. Examples include Wario [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcsasSLEa94 dying in a car crash]] while listening to Music/EdSheeran, dying in the [[UsefulNotes/AtomicBombingsOfHiroshimaAndNagasaki bombing of Hiroshima]] while [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CLuX79WlJU eating spicy curry]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaAQQdAc-2E dying in a helicopter crash]] in the UsefulNotes/VietnamWar, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VfPfrPe85I dying in]] the 1986 UsefulNotes/{{Chernobyl}} disaster.[[/labelnote]]

* [[WorthIt I've won!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sort of a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] of the PyrrhicVictory effect of the above mentioned "I've won...but at what cost?" meme, featuring the same image - but with a laughing Wario superimposed over the original's face and the text edited to simply say "I've won!" implying the subject considers whatever unspeakable crimes they may have committed to achieve their goals to be WorthIt. Depending on the situation, may cement the subject as a HeroicComedicSociopath.[[/labelnote]]

* [kicks in door] give me your liver [[labelnote:Explanation]] A reaction image of Mario kicking open someone's door and the words "give me your liver" hastily edited into the second panel. Used to represent what one thinks is an AssPull moment from a given character or jokingly saying that they're going to come to the poster's house and tear out their liver due to their actions, similar to the [[Memes/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball "you have lost penis privilege"]] meme. Video variations (usually ending with Mario reaching towards or jumping at the screen) are also very popular and often make the audio [[SensoryAbuse very loud]] so it can seem like Mario is shouting.[[/labelnote]]

* Eh. Twitter stinks! I'm leaving! [[labelnote:Explanation]]After Wario took over the Twitter account of Nintendo of America [[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1025425546363068421 (again)]] to promote [[VideoGame/WarioWareGetItTogether another game]], Wario ends his takeover with [[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1436389200178270212 this rather blunt dismissal of Twitter]]. This has been quoted frequently since, with the most popular example being where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvcsKIIYTZI a 3D model of Wario says the line before his polygons are dragged off screen]]. The full line is "'''Eh. Twitter stinks! I'm leaving!''' I'm going back to playing my game: [=WarioWare=]: Get It Together! [[SigningOffCatchphrase Have a rotten day!]] Bye-bye!" [[/labelnote]]

** Whoa, who do you think you are, Creator/BruceLee? You can't just go in there, fists flying! [[labelnote:Explanation]]This line from Mallow has been subject to a minor meme that claims Bruce Lee's existence is canon in the Mario universe, since Mallow namedrops him. This however, has been cut from the Switch remake. [[/labelnote]]

** "I don't care if I get hate because of this opinion, but this is my favorite paper mario final boss song."[[labelnote:Explanation]]This fairly innocent comment on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmBgAa3S3vo the final boss theme]] has garnered infamy for somehow creating a massive war-zone in the reply section. With the users ''Dave Matthew'' and ''Aramaru 1837'' being particularly noteworthy (the former for his constant usage of calling the other user, ''Aramaru 1837'', a [[BigStupidDoodooHead "little maggot"]], and the latter for being a {{Troll}} who belittles the original poster for not playing more games, [[{{Hypocrite}} despite admitting to only playing one other Paper Mario game]].) as well as the argument [[ArgumentOfContradictions going absolutely nowhere.]] This entire gong show was showcased by ''[[LetsPlay/{{Critikal}} penguinz0]]'' with the video, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEEUmfW0qFQ Angriest Comment Thread on Youtube]].[[/labelnote]]

** [[{{WesternAnimation/Mulan}} "Be a man!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Originates from the background music for [[LethalLavaLand Melty Monster Galaxy]], with its very ''Mulan''-like East Asian-inspired melody evoking the feel of a TrainingMontage, which noticeably features the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' title screen fanfare during the chorus portion.[[/labelnote]]

** [[Music/BrunoMars "Don't believe me, just watch!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The melody for Bruno Mars' song "Uptown Funk" sounds very similar to Bob-Omb Battlefield's theme music, WithLyrics[[/labelnote]]

** JustForFun/{{Wapeach}} [[labelnote:Explanation]] In November 2023, Creator/CamelotSoftwarePlanning revealed that as they were working on ''VideoGame/MarioPowerTennis'', They had also pitched the idea of a "Bad Peach" counterpart to Wario and Waluigi, making a TerribleTrio dynamic similar to the various villains of the ''Anime/TimeBokan'' series. Unfortunately, the idea was rejected. As a preliminary design was also provided, the fanbase predictably went nuts.

** Great, just great. Now I look like the huge, mighty king of '''GUYS WHO TALK TO POSTERS!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Bowser mistakes a poster of Peach to be the real person. He's quite embarrassed when he realizes his mistake.[[/labelnote]]

** [[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/724206-waluigi Purple Prizes]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Since Luigi ''is'' actually playable in the DS remake, other rumors began circulating claiming that this game had a different SecretCharacter: [[VideoGame/MarioTennis Waluigi]]. The fanmade "Purple Prizes" article is the primary source of this, with other rumors such as the black box on Peach's Castle on the file select screen also being associated with Waluigi's rumors.[[/labelnote]]

* "Hipster Bowser", or "Nerd(y) Bowser", from a Japanese [[UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS New 3DS]] ad starring Music/KyaryPamyuPamyu has caught on quite a bit.

* '''BING BING WAHOO''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Originally came from a [[Website/FourChan 4chan]] copypasta mocking the somewhat abrasive sound effects of the more modern Mario titles as well as UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch fans who play the system in public. [[InsultBackfire It was eventually adopted by the Mario fandom themselves,]] who usually use the phrase as a way of jokingly poking fun at Mario.[[/labelnote]]

* Super Crown [[labelnote:Explanation]]On September 13th, 2018, it was revealed that a deluxe port of ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU'' was coming to the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch. One of the new additions is a playable Toadette who can obtain a new power-up called a "Super Crown", which can transform her into a Peach-like character with her floating mechanic known as "Peachette". Simply put, this one power-up in a simple port job has exploded into meme stardom like '''''nothing else''''' in the Mario fandom... hence the absurd number of sub-memes here.[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfJ_bt95p3M Super Mario on the PS4]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]This comes from an [[StylisticSuck intentionally poorly-made video (with a crappy boxart accompanying it)]] of Mario saying "Hello! It's-a me, Super Mario on the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 PS4]]!" and then shouting [[SensoryAbuse very loudly.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9rY31-JTyA97BW853PhW8lnnoB7Bms2B This naturally led to other characters being put on other consoles with similar videos accompanying them]], like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWnU061uMkM Super Luigi on the XBOX ONE]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVzdN8k5IGo Wario on PC]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXq6xHUZqwU Funky Kong on Google Stadia]].[[/labelnote]]

** X got in before Daisy?[[labelnote:Explanation]]Princess Daisy, a recurring character in ''Mario'' spinoffs, was excluded from the initial release of the game, while costumes like Waluigi (who had never appeared in a Mario platformer beforehand), a Mahjong tile and a trampoline appear from the start. This only enhanced Daisy's MemeticLoser status and caused some fans to joke that the Mahjong tile and the trampoline are more deserving candidates than she is to be playable in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''. Daisy's loser status [[ButtMonkey had gotten worse]] when more Mystery Suits had been released before her, including [[VideoGame/CaptainToadTreasureTracker Captain Toad]] (who can't even jump in his game), Birdo, a Mercedes-Benz GLA, [[VideoGame/SuperMarioLand Mario in the Sky Pop]] (from Daisy's debut game), ''[[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Master Belch]]'' and a new character named [[http://www.mariowiki.com/Yamamura Yamamura]], who is a pigeon. It wasn't until January 2016, over four months after the game's release, that Daisy was ''finally'' revealed as a Mystery Costume.[[/labelnote]] This joke expands to other characters like [[VideoGame/MarioParty MC Ballyhoo]], [[VideoGame/StarFox64 Wolf]], UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows logo, and amiibo figures released after the game that should have their own costume by now: [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Roy]], [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu]] and VideoGame/ShovelKnight.

** [[FanNickname The Wii U Killer]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Up until the trailer for Super Mario Maker 2 released, the original game was the only reason some users had held on to their UsefulNotes/WiiU consoles. After the trailer dropped, many joked that it was time to take the Wii U off its life support since they now had no incentive to keep it anymore.[[/labelnote]]

* The control stick-spinning minigames of the first ''Mario Party'' became the stuff of legends among fans over time for their infamy at injuring players who used their palms for maximum efficiency. The jokes returned in full force when the "Tug 'O War" and "Cast Aways" minigames returned in ''Superstars'' with the exact same control scheme and only a cursory warning against the tactic, on [[UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch a console]] with control sticks notorious for gaining input drift when overused. Taken with full extreme with the first Mario Party coming to Nintendo Switch Online, with those minigames back and no actual disclaimer unlike ''Superstars''.

'''''[[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows CTRL ALT DELETE]]!''''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]The first boss you fight in the game was ''going'' to give you his PlotCoupon without a fight, but then he gets his circuits fried by [[SoftSpokenSadist Dimentio]]. The preceding [literal] BSOD ensues.[[/labelnote]]

** ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime'': After the release of ''VideoGame/Splatoon1'' (and especially after this game's UsefulNotes/VirtualConsole release), many people joked on Website/{{Miiverse}} that Nintendo had been planning about making ''Splatoon'' for over ten years through Young E. Gadd's comment:

** VideoGame/PacMan is Nintendo's new mascot / Pac-Man killed Mario [[labelnote:Explanation]]Just 6 days after ''Super Mario Bros. 35'' was removed, Nintendo announced ''VideoGame/PacMan99'', a battle royale version of Pac-Man, which had no end date unlike ''Super Mario Bros. 35.'' This led to jokes that Nintendo was replacing Mario with Pac-Man as their new mascot, or that he was the one who executed Mario.[[/labelnote]]

** You guessed it, a Toad. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The [[https://youtu.be/CB7KBIgn2m0?t=269 video]] explaining the features and mechanics of the game pokes fun at the repetition of ''everyone'' Mario rescues being a Toad. This has not gone unnoticed by fans.[[/labelnote]]
