* For an April Fool's Day video, the trailer for Luigi's Spooky Ghost Spooky Quest indeed looks spooky. After [[{{Squick}} getting licked]] by [[VideoGame/PaperMario64 Stanley]], Luigi becomes Ghost Luigi, an inconsistent mix-and-match of which parts of him are allowed to be visible or transparent. Though initially shocked by his spectral form, he soon warms up to it when he uses it to scare people to steal their food, and generally cause mischief, somewhat similar to his actions in Luigi the Prankster. Getting too close to him also runs the risk of becoming a ghost as well, as poor Yoshi learns the hard way. He doesn't seem to mind, however, making you wonder how Yoshi is going to make use of ''his'' spectral form as well. Oh, and the trailer is narrated by the same [[EvilSoundsDeep deep voice]] Goomzilla used for Bowser. Except now it sounds deeper and more sinister here, potentially giving [[Film/{{Saw}} Jigsaw]] a run for his money.

* Mimi's transformation into a spider is just as terrifying in Peach's Quest as it was from [[VideoGame/SuperPaperMario her home game]], neck snapping and all. It provides the page image, so sweet dreams.

* For all the bad things Kamek has done, he doesn't deserve getting weakened by the Diode and abandoned. Let's hope he gets back on his feet by the end of Peach's Quest.

* The true villain of the movie, Solus. Seeing the entire world as selfish, this hooded figure was first believed by the more trusting viewers to be a true friend to Luigi who wanted to help him save his captured friends, but they couldn't have been more wrong. All he wanted was power, which he first uses to get his revenge on Bowser after his neglect ten years ago. With Bowser (narrowly) killed in the lava pit, Solus also has the gall to rub his death in the nothing-but-loyal Koopa's face. But Solus doesn't stop there. He plans to make Luigi (i.e. [[UngratefulBastard the person who helped him get to where he was]]) his next victim. Luigi can't break through to him like he did with Peach since Solus never considered Luigi a true friend, and when Koopa volunteers to help Luigi fight Solus, no punches were pulled on him either. His first form was defeated relatively easily [[ThisCannotBe to his own surprise]], but Solus had one more form to take down (pictured), which almost comes out of nowhere. Unfortunately, none of Luigi or Koopa's attacks had any effects on Solus, and Solus' own attacks were ''brutal''. If Captain Toad hadn't stepped in, Luigi and Koopa most likely would have been ''killed'', and Solus would have walked away with Mario's power. From there, who knows what he would have done with them? Plus, it ''is'' a bit too [[DeusExMachina lucky]] that the speck of Mario's power would just fly back to Mario after Solus' defeat. When you think about it, this is all Bowser's fault. If he hadn't neglected Solus, none of this would have happened.

* The Underwhere. Home to Master Hand & Crazy Hand, this pure black world is where those unfortunate to die or touch the aforementioned wand are sent. The Hands themselves are a different beast altogether. Bowser's earlier shenanigans were somewhat laughable and lighthearted, but these two stand out from Goomzilla's previous three videos as the first KnightOfCerebus. There's also the question: if the Hands succeed in eating their victims, do they go into another place after death, or are they gone for good? [[spoiler:Considering their success in eating a poor defenseless Goomba, this makes it all the easier to feel sorry for the little guy.]]

** Bowser first found the generator in a broken state. To fix it, he has one of his Goombas [[spoiler:whip an innkeeper Toad into telling him how to fix it. He even laughs when he witnesses this]].
** Bowser's NearVillainVictory especially deserves an honorable mention. [[spoiler:''Everyone'' in the Mushroom Kingdom has been turned to stone and it seemed like Peach had no one to turn to for help. Had it not been for Yoshi's sacrifice, Bowser would have ''won''. Not helping was his apathetic reaction to his own minions getting petrified as well. If there was even more of a sign that Bowser is now a monster to his own people, this is it.]]
* There's also a BottomlessPit that exists in the Goomzilla universe. Though useful in [[spoiler:getting rid of the generator once and for all]], and characters falling into it is mostly PlayedForLaughs, it's best not to think about how it would feel to fall forever.

* Peach makes a surprisingly competent fighter once she absorbs Mario's power. This alone is worrying if the power was transferred to an enemy who could use it to wreak havoc, but Peach is too nice to go there, and uses her power benevolently (to defeat Bowser's soldiers and help Mario). Then Bowser gets the idea to [[spoiler:take her to a hypnotist that would make her loyal to Bowser. This "New Peach" develops an unquenchable thirst for power, forcing Kamek to promise her that Mario will get his comeuppance if she has a little patience. Then, once Mario has been squeezed dry, the first thing she does when Luigi intervenes is attack him. Luigi's [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight fight with her]] was a losing battle, and the only reason Luigi won was because her feelings for Mario managed to break through to her. It's unclear how she would have finished Luigi if he didn't [[SayMyName scream Mario's name]], but if her almost chokehold-like high ground as he screams to her was anything to go by, it wouldn't have been pretty. And even though the villains need Luigi alive in order for her to absorb his power as well, he still would be too weak to save her mind and Yoshi has already been depowered, leaving Mario at the mercy of his brainwashed girlfriend, also too weak to fight back or escape whatever fate she had in store for him.]]

* Solus [[spoiler:falling into a pit of lava and burning off his flesh]] is surprisingly dark for a Goomzilla video.
* For all the bad things Kamek has done, he doesn't deserve [[spoiler:getting weakened by the Diode and abandoned.]] Let's hope [[spoiler:his appearance back on his feet in Yoshi and the Lost Egg is canon...[[UnexplainedRecovery and that we can get some explanation as to how that's possible.]]]]

* Yoshi's [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn]] was very unexpected. It felt like it came out of nowhere, and was downright OutOfCharacter. [[spoiler:And unlike Peach, no hypnosis was required for this turn. Yoshi did it on his own accord.]]
* When Yoshi goes alone to Bowser's Castle, [[spoiler:he has the option to face Bowser. This proves to be a big mistake, since Yoshi didn't bring eggs or anything to fight back, and was also severely outnumbered. Furious that Yoshi would trespass on his property, he orders the poor little dinosaur caged. His fate from there is unclear, but knowing Bowser, most Mario fans wouldn't put it past him to straight-up kill trespassers]].
