This episode provides examples of:
- Action Prologue: The first scene of the episode (after the opening narration) is Bowser fighting Peach. We later learn this was Bowser's attempt at recruiting her for his team in the upcoming Smash King tourney.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: Bowser's voice is far less growly in this episode compared to his later appearances, due to Tigura not figuring out his voice for the character at the time.
- Defeat Means Friendship: Peach agrees to join Team Bowser after Bowser defeats her.
- Establishing Character Moment: Practically a given, since it's the pilot. Almost every major character is introduced in a way that highlights their personality.
- You Wake Up in a Room: Mario, upon arriving in the World of Brawl.
- Zero-Effort Boss: Captain Falcon, who serves as the first trophy Mario fights upon waking up.
