* AdaptationalExplanation:
** Whereas Meggy only mentioned going to law school "partially" in [[Recap/SMG4sMarioBloopersSMG4GetsSued "SMG4 Gets Sued"]], she states in Chapter 5 that it was in college when she was an Inkling, which you would remember if you watched [[Recap/SMG4MarioUniversity "Mario University"]]. And if that was what the original was referring to, then it’s now made clearer.
** Why is Big Man imprisoning [=SMG4=] and opposing Mario and Meggy during the events of [[Recap/SMG4sMarioBloopersIfMarioWasInSplatoon3 "If Mario Was In... Splatoon 3"]]? Apparently because someone threatened him to go along with it lest anything bad happened to the rest of Deep Cut.
** Did you ever wonder why Waluigi wasn't canonized by Lawyer Kong's firewall during [[Recap/SMG4sMarioBloopersBreakingLuigi "Breaking Luigi"]] (if he was, he likely wouldn't have set up his taco stand, which does not exist as a Nintendo property)? According to this fic, his [[WebAnimation/SMG4TheWaluigiArc rejection powers]] protect him from the firewall's effects.
** The reason why [[spoiler:[=SMG2=] came back with a coconut]] in [[Recap/SMG4sMarioBloopersGoodbyeSMG4 "Goodbye, [=SMG4=]"]] was because [[spoiler:he and [=SMG1=] were in the world of ''Ultra Jump Mania''. Apparently, the Super DMCA sends some of its victims to another dimension]].
* AdaptationalLocationChange: Bob was found at (what is presumed to be) Gerudo Valley in [[Recap/SMG4sMarioBloopersBreakingLuigi "Breaking Luigi"]]. This was changed to Ikana Canyon from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', since that's the game where Garos originated from.
* AdaptationalMundanity:
** A lot of Lawyer Kong’s contracts lack the magical powers they had in the original for the desire to make Nintendo’s law firm more realistic. [[spoiler:This doesn't apply to the Super DMCA, however.]]
** Instead of Luigi magically becoming [[Characters/BreakingBadWalterWhite Walter White]] during [[Recap/SMG4sMarioBloopersBreakingLuigi "Breaking Luigi"]], here he takes off his hat normally, shaves off his mustache and hair, and puts on a fake beard to make him resemble the character. This also means that his hat, hair, and mustache don't reappear when Lawyer Kong takes away his confidence, at least not yet. Again, the author decided this was more realistic.
** When taking down Frankie's fan project in [[Recap/SMG4sMarioBloopersGoodbyeSMG4 "Goodbye, [=SMG4=]"]], instead of appearing through his computer, Lawyer Kong calls a team of Nintendo Ninjas to do his dirty work.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Surprisingly, ''Lawyer Kong''. While he's still the BigBad of the Lawsuit Arc, this retelling of it gives him a lot of sympathetic qualities that he thoroughly lacked in the original. For starters, while he still blames [=SMG4=] for making their Nintendo characters stupid, he also holds [=SMG4=] accountable for indirectly causing the apocalyptic incidents that happened during the events of the Cosmology Saga, which even almost destroyed Nintendo HQ. Between this reasoning and his [[EnemyMine brief alliance with the SMG4 crew against Mr. Grizz]] during the events of [[Recap/SMG4sMarioBloopersIfMarioWasInSplatoon3 "If Mario Was In... Splatoon 3"]], it's clear that he knows what to do when a world-destroying threat arises. Then, come the events of [[Recap/SMG4sMarioBloopersNintendoHasClaimedThisVideo "[=[NINTENDO HAS CLAIMED THIS VIDEO]=]"]], he's slightly-but-noticeably more intrigued by the game ideas Mario and Luigi propose than he was in the original. [[spoiler:He doesn't even slap the parody law contract out of Meggy's hands here.]]
