These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
Fast forward to 2007 with Super Paper Mario. In Chapter 7, Mario is separated from Princess Peach and Bowser. Where is the princess taken? The OVERTHERE!!
Memetic Mutation: The cutscenes of this game have been used almost religiously in a style of absurd video editing known as Youtube Poop, since pretty much every scene is chock full of meme fodder thanks to the bizarre animation, hokey script, silly voices, and downright weird electronic/funk music.
The unofficial slogan for Youtube Poop is even made of two different audios from the game. "Where there's smoke, they pinch back".
Narm Charm: No one would care about these games if it weren't for the bad voice acting and goofy lines. "Ya know what they say: all toastas toastdodongostoast!"
They Just Didn't Care: To the point that they recycled their own animations. Compare the bros approaching the Kingdom gates to them approaching the tree hotel. Or compare the "pennies pinch back" scene to the "where there's smoke..." scene. *
They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Watching videos of the gameplay, you wouldn't think it was that bad. If the gameplay was used in a completely different game with its premise justifying the gameplay's many oddities, and if it had better controls, then it could be much better than Hotel Mario.
