* Count Bleck's invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom certainly warrants a mention. In short order, he kidnaps Peach before Bowser even has a chance to, shows up in front of Bowser's army ''and'' the Mario Bros, averts CaughtMonologuing by ''[[NoSell no-selling]] and [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomping Mario]]'', then sucks Luigi, Peach, Bowser ''and the entire Koopa army'' into his castle before leaving to create the Chaos Heart. Basically, he did what Bowser pulled off in [[VideoGame/PaperMario64 the first game]] on a grander scale, ''just'' to check off his to-do list! And he did ''all'' of it while [[EvilIsHammy hamming it up]].

* In Chapter 7-4 of ''Super Paper Mario'', [[BigDamnHeroes Rebbi arrives with a brigade of Nimbis]] to help Mario and co. get past massive squadron of Skellobits and Skellobombers. Also counts as the closest that VideoGame/SuperMarioBros will ever get to depicting Armageddon!

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


This is, so far, the only game in the entire series where Mario, Peach, Bowser and Luigi team up to save the day[[note]]Bowser and Peach ''did'' team up with Mario during ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'', and the ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi'' series practically speaks for itself, but this is the first time where ''all four of them'' are the heroes at the same time.[[/note]]. And what's their goal, this time around? Preventing the end of '''''[[UpToEleven the entire multiverse!]]''''' And this game came out just a few months before [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Mario's own adventures through space]]!

* The boss of Chapter 1-4 certainly counts, despite the tragic circumstances. You have to fight Fracktail, a giant eastern-styled robotic dragon, by using Mario's new [[PerspectiveFlip Flip]] ability to get onto his back and chucking the little Frackles that he spawns at his antenna. It's even ''more'' awesome when he does his loop maneuver to try and shake Mario off, and he manages to jump at ''just'' the perfect time to land on his head. This was as close to ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'' as Mario had ever gotten...and then ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Megaleg]]'' came along and turned it UpToEleven.

* Every time you get a Mega Star, you transform into a [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever humongous]] pixelated version of yourself which allows you to destroy anything in your path while a [[AwesomeMusic/PaperMario kick-ass]] version of the series invincibility theme plays in the background.
** Not only is the star itself absolute 8-bit awesome, but the Mega Koopa involves an enemy picking it up and becoming a gigantic 8-bit Koopa, and running you down. You have to get your ''own'' Mega Star before it gets a chance to turn Mario into a plumber pancake.



* You're talking to that nice old wizard, and suddenly, Dimentio, who at this point has begun to reveal what a ManipulativeBastard he is, shows up ''out of nowhere'' and SENDS YOU TO THE PG VERSION OF HELL. No battle, nothing. Just snaps his fingers and pretty much kills your whole party. What's more, [[BatmanGambit he's relying on your ability to overcome that]], and has in fact helped you out.

** How about Bonechill? He's basically the ''Mario'' equivalent of {{Satan}}, escaping the Underwhere to wreak havoc in the afterlife. And you can use the recently-obtained Luigi to ''Spring Jump into his jaw,'' complete with his pixels falling straight off with each hit. That's right; ''[[ButtMonkey Luigi]]'' [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu can punch out Ice-Satan!]] [[CurbStompBattle And he makes it look so easy, too...]]

** Oh yeah, and [[spoiler:Dimentio]]'s TakingYouWithMe move that could only be canceled out [[spoiler:''[[HeroicSacrifice BY A SUICIDAL MARRIAGE CEREMONY]]'']]. He didn't rely on the heroes being dumb enough to do absolutely nothing, as most villains tend to do. He still allowed the heroes a chance to win, but not without a great loss.

* In Chapter 8-2 of ''Super Paper Mario'', you have to fight Mimi ([[RecurringBoss AGAIN]]) at the end, but this time you can only play as Peach. Nothing is better than kicking the most annoying boss's ass using [[ActionGirl Peach]], ''of all characters''. And to top that off, creepy but [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome awesome music]] plays in the background.

** Even better is what happens immediately before the fight. Mimi insults Peach for being a stereotypical DamselInDistress, causing Peach to [[RageBreakingPoint get angrier than we've ever seen her before]] and go after Mimi.
