History Characters / SMBMEveryoneElse

* DogStereotype: Completely and utterly ''[[InvertedTrope inverted]]''; he's a Golden Retriever, but his [[AxCrazy actual]] [[JerkAss personality]] is the ''complete opposite'' of what Golden Retrievers are typically [[BigFriendlyDog portrayed]] [[FriendToAllLivingThings as]].
* {{Expy}}: Francis somewhat resembles Doug from ''WesternAnimation/{{UP}}''. If Doug were petty and vicious.

** He looks exactly like Mario's original Jump Man-era design as an old man, and he's introduced playing "Jump Man", an obvious expy of [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong Mario and Donkey Kong's video game debut.]] And of course, he's voiced by Charles Martinet, not just in the original English but ''twenty-six'' of the film's foreign language dubs, including the variants of French, Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Downplayed, but he is noticeably more arrogant in the movie than in the games, developing into a JerkWithAHeartOfGold as events play out. While he does prove himself to be capable of selfless and noble feats like he would in his own series of games, most of his role in the story is learning to manage his feelings of jealousy and rivalry towards Mario, hearkening back both to the original arcade games the characters debuted in as well as the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series, which was based on their rivalry.
* AlwaysABiggerFish: [[spoiler: He gets a chance to fight Bowser personally when the final battle moves to Brooklyn. Not only is the Koopa King twice as large as him, but the only attack that DK successfully lands on Bowser is tackling him while he's distracted. We don't see the brief tussle between the pair, but DK is wounded and incapacitated. He was very close to being executed before Mario stepped in.]]

* DubPersonalityChange: In the "Super Japanese version" Donkey Kong is less of a braggart and less antagonistic towards Mario, forming a friendly rivalry with him. He's also more hyperactive and enthusiastic, requiring Cranky Kong to keep him restrained.

** While traveling on Rainbow Road, he makes fun of Mario for trying to flirt with Peach. However, when Peach politely asks DK and Toad to back off, he does so without a begrudging attitude. [[spoiler: Plus [[ShipperOnDeck he was later smiling with approval at Mario and Peach holding hands upon reuniting]] after crashing her forced wedding to Bowser.]]

* SoProudOfYou: [[spoiler: Seen briefly when Mario and Luigi beat Bowser to the Super Star and curb stomp the Koopa King and his entire army. After Mario throws a Sledge Bro into the soldiers, DK has a "You guys are screwed!" grin on his face as he shields Peach and Toad from the skirmish.]]

* ContinuityCameo: [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry1 Diddy Kong]], [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest Dixie Kong, Swanky Kong]], and [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong64 Chunky Kong]] are among the denizens of Donkey Kong Island. Swanky drives a kart and slips on a banana peel during the "[[Music/{{Aha}} Take On Me]]" segment, while the others show up as audience members during DK's fight against Mario, with Diddy in particular being highlighted as he (with Dixie and Chunky sitting next to him) cheers DK on. Fans have also noticed Kongs that resemble Funky Kong, [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry3DixieKongsDoubleTrouble Kiddy Kong]], [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong Donkey Kong Junior]], and even [[WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry Eddie the Mean Old Yeti]] among the movie's background characters, although it is unclear whether these are actual cameos or just generic lookalikes since they're not given any focus.

* BurpOfFinality: [[spoiler: Shortly after eating Mario and DK, the Maw-Ray releases a quiet underwater belch.]] Averted in that [[spoiler: they do manage to escape, negating the finality.]]

* SeaMonster: A giant eel monster who lurks in the ocean [[spoiler: the Rainbow Road]] crosses over.

* SwallowedWhole: With all those teeth, [[spoiler: it makes no effort to chew its prey before sending them down.]]
* WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises / OneEyedShot: The shot of the Maw-Ray as [[spoiler: it begins to get sudden indigestion]]. When it [[spoiler: belches up its prey]], its eyes remain wide open before shutting tightly in pain.
