Paper Mario DND provides examples of:
- Adaptational Nice Guy: In contrast to his canonical counterpart, Metal Sonic is perfectly hospitable to the party, even after they enter his home without permission.
- Adaptational Villainy: Pibby, the killer of Zomom. This borrows from the interpretation of her seen in Cart Ride Into Get Eaten By Zavok Obby (Who Killed Zomom).
- Big Bad: Cringe before Zavok.
- Call-Back: The plot of the campaign starts with Koolumbo heading to Toad Town to attend the Sticker Festival.
- Continuity Nod: Koolumbo is visiting the Mushroom Kingdom from his hometown of Rogueport, and Shark makes mention multiple times that he's native to the Flower Kingdom.
- Give Me Back My Wallet: The inciting incident for the campaign is a Goomba running off with Koolumbo's wallet when he's getting drinks for him and Jam, and Nabbit later makes off with Koolumbo's wallet during the gang's search through Hooktail Castle.Koolumbo: My wallet AGAIN?! COME ON!Sherbert: Again?! This has happened before?!
- Lame Pun Reaction: The party briefly considers leaving Koolumbo in prison for the pun he made after rescuing Professor Jam.Koolumbo: Glad we could get you out of that, eh-heh, jam, he-heh.Sherbert: Alright, you're going into—You, you're going into time out for that one.
- He Knows About Timed Hits: In Mario RPG tradition, Professor Jam explains how the combat mechanics work.
- Run or Die: The party resolves to flee from Zavok and recuperate after realizing they're clearly no match for him yet.
- Running Gag: Koolumbo's least favorite crime is breaking and entering.
- So Last Season: When the tutorial battle is resolved, Jam uses a super bomb to properly dispatch of the Goomba that took Koolumbo's wallet. When Jam later tries to save the party by using it against Zavok, it's ineffective against him.
- The Cameo: Pac-Man makes a brief appearance among the crowd gathering for the Sticker Festival.
- The Most Dangerous Video Game: The fate that befalls Retro Ron after he's defeated in the VR dimension.Sherbert: But if you die in the game, you die in real life! Everybody knows this!
- Nonindicative Name: Not actually played in Dungeons & Dragons but a homebrew system made for the campaign.
- Shout-Out:
- Geno makes mention of the "Shovelware Isles", a clear reference to roblox development team Shovelware Studios. Emby, Geno's player, is a member of Shovelware themselves.
- Take That!:
- Zomom is called unreliable and untrustworthy after being accidentally misnamed as Zippo, a clear reference to the infamous leaker.
