History Characters / SMBMEveryoneElse

* FanserviceExtra: Played straight for the Great Kong Army members who are ''really'' [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirtless]] in a few scenes, including at the kart workshop where they prepare their travel to the Mushroom Kingdom with Mario, Peach and Toad.

* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:Does not appreciate being rescued from the lava pit.[[JustifiedTrope Mainly because he]] ''[[DeathSeeker wants]]'' [[DeathSeeker to die]].]]

* DemotedToExtra: Whenever she appeared in the games, she either had a main role (''Donkey Kong'' and ''VideoGame/MarioVsDonkeyKong'') or a supporting role (''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey''). She also appeared frequently in the newer sports games. Here, she only has a small cameo in the first act.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While he's a massive bully to the Mario Bros, he still remembers to pay as he's leaving the restaurant and [[spoiler:is the one who starts the cheers for them after they save Brooklyn.]]

** Uncle Tony and Uncle Arthur keep poking fun at the Bros. for their struggling business, but they come off as more playful and [[EveryoneHasStandards didn't like their brother's harsher criticisms of them when Mario gets offended and leaves dinner]]. [[spoiler:They also cheer for the Bros. after the two save Brooklyn]].

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is a vicious dog, but after [[spoiler:The Mario Bros. save Brooklyn]], he nods at them in respect.

** He's a cocky show-off, but he's not a bad person and he does develop a genuine friendship with Mario later on -- and despite his frustrations with his situation, [[IGaveMyWord he honors the agreement to help the Mushroom Kingdom]]. Also despite his harsh statement about Mario's daddy issues earlier, he was later happy for Mario getting praised by his dad to the point he brings him and his family and friends into a group hug.
** 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.]]

** His behavior towards DK is more of how he sees DK's antics as an embarrassment, not that he's embarrassed to have DK as his son. [[spoiler:When it seemed like the Blue Shell sends DK and Mario to their deaths, Cranky is clearly devastated by it. When DK not only is shown to be alive but saves all the prisoners and Cranky, he is overjoyed and actually asks DK to do his signature "Pec Dance", something DK says he'll do later, as there are more pressing matters at the moment, something that clearly impressed Cranky too.]]

* 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.
