Added DiffLines:

* Acrofatic: His chubby build doesn't stop him from engaging in impressive feats of physicality. This also applies to real life as Bob Hoskins did almost all the stunt work himself.
* AdaptationalHairstyleChange: Mario usually has a full head of hair under his cap. Here, he's balding like Bob Hoskins.

* DeathGlare: Gives one to Mario and Luigi after she departs with the meteorite piece, as if daring the two to follow after her if they want it that badly.

* AdaptationalJerkass: This Mario starts as a gruff pessimist who has no time for Luigi's idealism, a far cry from the hero who leaps into adventure with boundless excitement.

* AdaptationalJerkass: This Mario starts as a gruff but amiable pessimist who has no time for Luigi's idealism, a far cry from the hero who leaps into adventure with boundless excitement.



*OutOfFocus: Subverted; While Mario has the most CharacterDevelopment and ultimately defeats King Koopa, making him TheHero, Luigi gets more time in the spotlight. However, Mario is the central focus in the third act up through the climax.



* RedIsHeroic: Only in the climax does he start wearing his counterpart's iconic red, which actually belonged to Koopa's janitorial staff.

* SupportingProtagonist: While Mario has the most CharacterDevelopment and ultimately defeats King Koopa, making him TheHero, much of the plot revolves around Luigi and Daisy and it is largely their story.

forgot this one; see my previous edit. also, this movie came out one year before pauline's modern design so these visual similarities wouldn't have been intentional.


* {{Expy}}: Implied to be one for Pauline. She serves as Mario's girlfriend, is a brunette like Pauline, wears primarily red, and her full name as revealed in the script is Daniella ''Pauline'' Verducci.

* {{Trumplica}}: Koopa is a tycoon with an idiosyncratic blonde hairstyle similar to that Donald Trump and based in an alternate universe version of New York City. His fashion sense mimics Trump's, and he even has a "Koopa Tower" building situated in the middle of Dinohattan. The fact that he's an evolved ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' evokes Trump's image in the '80s as the archetypal Wall Street bully -- the ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' is popularly thought of as the beastly king of the dinosaurs, while Trump and other Wall Street tycoons were notorious for ruthless business tactics.

* TerrifyingTyrannosaur: He's directly descended from ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' (a fact which he's immensely proud of), and fittingly he's a ruthless dictator and tyrant.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationNameChange: Much like with ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'', it's zigzagged. In the games, he's known as Bowser to western audiences, but Koopa to Japanese audiences, so he's using his Japanese name in an American movie. It's played with even further in that the former monarch of Dinohattan is named Bowser in supplementary material, and is actually a [[TheGoodKing king]] while Koopa is a [[PresidentEvil president]].

* BadBoss: He enslaves prisoners by turning them into goombas and bullies his regular staff. In the novelization, Koopa strangled a subordinate to death and complained that he had to touch the guy's neck (this is why he was cleaning his hands in his first scene).
