* AmbiguouslyBrown: Most of Bowser's children look somewhat like him. Except Morton, who is randomly dark brown.

* OneUp: Just like the original Super Mario games, a green mushroom gives you a 1-Up. There are also moons that give you a 3-Up; between the generous number of 1-Up mushrooms and many a OneUpSampo (not to mention the bonus game, which can give you up to ''eight'' 1-Ups), it is ''very'' easy to {{cap}} at 99 lives (or 999 on GBA) before you're even halfway through the game.

Oh, and this game IS called Super Mario Bros. 4...[[EdEddNEddy in Japan.]]

* AndTheAdventureContinues: the [[UpdatedRerelease GBA version]] starts with a [[NightmareFuel Nightmare Fuel-ish]] intro that ends with a LastNoteNightmare, as seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGUjSFSgv3M here]]; however, if you beat the game, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQDKJu71pMY the result]] [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming makes up for it]].

* ButtonMashing: Making a winged Yoshi fly, resolved by having the Cape powerup when riding. Just hold the jump button down!

* KojiKondo

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Bowser kidnaps Peach, but instead of heading directly to Bowser's castle to save her, Mario heads all over Dinosaur Land, systematically killing each member of Bowser's extended family one by one. Talk about cold-blooded.
** Not really, it's the only way to get to open up Bowser's Valley. Averted when you use the Star Road to warp to the last level almost as soon as you beat the first castle.
* ScrappyLevel: Underwater levels, because you move painfully slow.

* ThatOneLevel: Wendy's Castle (#6) is like this for some.
** Soda Lake as well. This is an optional level that includes Torpedo Ted, an enemy that's [[GoddamnedBats everywhere]] and travels faster than a swimming Mario.
** [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Tubular]]. This (thankfully optional) level involves a balloon Mario floating through the skies while surrounded by lava-spitting plants, Chargin Chucks, and flying Koopa. Oh yeah, and after you get the first balloon, there's no ground except under the end gate.
** Butter Bridge 2 also tends to be one. Tricky jumps, [[FixedScrollingLevel fixed scrolling]], and platforms that sink as you stand on them, making the jumps harder.

** [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Tubular]]. This (thankfully skippable) level involves a balloon Mario floating through the skies while surrounded by lava-spitting plants, Chargin Chucks, and flying Koopa. Oh yeah, and after you get the balloon, there's no floor except the ground the end gate is on.

* TheYoshi: The TropeNamer himself is present.

** ThisTroper, a member of said website, is honored.

* MusicalThemeNaming: The five [[AllThereInTheManual eldest]] Koopalings are named [[LudwigVonBeethoven Ludwig von Koopa]], [[{{Motorhead}} Lemmy Koopa]], [[RoyOrbison Roy Koopa]], [[IggyPop Iggy Koopa]], and [[WendyOWilliams Wendy O. Koopa]].

** The ''Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World'' version gave Luigi an unique sprite.

* GameMod: An [[http://www.smwcentral.net entire Website]] is devoted to it.

* GuideDangIt: Some of the Secret Exits. Hint: Yoshi's Tongue can go through walls.

* MesACrowd: Some Chargin' Chucks can split into three indentical copies, which all then proceed to attack.

* OneUp: Just like the original Super Mario games, a green mushroom gives you a 1-Up. There're also moons that give you a 3-Up; between the generous number of 1-Up mushrooms and many a OneUpSampo (not to mention the bonus game, which can give you up to ''eight'' 1-Ups), it is ''very'' easy to {{cap}} at 99 lives (or 999 on GBA) before you're even halfway through the game.

* ThemeTuneCameo: The Level 1-1 theme from ''Game/SuperMarioBros.'' plays in the Special World.

** At the price of awfully remade music.
*** It's the same, it just sounds awful due to the tinny GBA speaker and the new abundance of SFX.
**** But some of the songs (like Valley of Bowser, the Final Boss, Vanilla Dome, the Ending, Player Down) in that port are a [[PortingDisaster total mess]] (wrong notes, wrong instruments, wrong pitch), they make Super Mario Advance 3 and 4 sound good in comparison.
**** It's not quite the same. The SNES' sound module was actually extremely sophisticated for its time, and the GBA's sound chip is no match for it. For instance, the [=SPC700=]'s 4-point Gaussian interpolation has no equivalent on the GBA, which sounds like it uses a zeroth-order sample-and-hold technique. As a result, GBA games sound tinny and noisy even on audiophile headphones.
**** It's also a little lacking in the porting of the visuals (Mario and Luigi look a little pale for starters), but the enhancements and additions to the gameplay more than make up for these shortcomings.
** The game also included sprite-based Yoshi-Coins (which could be used in castles, and in more creative ways), and new animated cutscenes (in addition to the old ones that played when a castle was destroyed).
** It ''also'' shaded the last few rows of tiles, so pits could be clearly seen on the tiny GBA screen.

* MesACrowd: * Some Chargin' Chucks can split into three indentical copies, which all then proceed to attack.

This game is most notable for having introduced the world to [[TheYoshi Yoshi]], Mario's now-famous [[NonHumanSidekick dinosaur friend]] and his ability to eat the baddies. The game was followed-up in 1995 with ''[[YoshisIsland Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', a prequel starring Yoshi as the player character and featuring Mario as an infant. The game is fondly remembered as one of the highest highlights of the ''SuperMarioBros'' series, alongside the classic ''SuperMarioBros 3''.

* MusicalThemeNaming: The four [[AllThereInTheManual eldest]] Koopalings are named [[LudwigVonBeethoven Ludwig von Koopa]], [[{{Motorhead}} Lemmy Koopa]], [[RoyOrbison Roy Koopa]], and [[IggyPop Iggy Koopa]].
