* EarnYourBadEnding: Many of the "hidden endings" are just bad endings that require more effort and/or [[GuideDangIt less intuitive means]] to reach. In particular, the two endings reached through [[spoiler:the Shopkeeper's Realm]] are among the most difficult to reach, and have Mario suffering a FateWorseThanDeath.



* EventFlag: It is impossible to access the Hidden Final Boss without the passcode, [[spoiler: as the passcode is generated every time you enter the Shopkeeper's Realm, and can only be accepted if all four numbers are obtained]].

* EmptyShell: {{Invoked|trope}} by the Mushroom in its bad ending. After severing Mario's [[AnArmAndALeg legs, arms]], [[EarAche ears]], and [[EyeScream eyes]]; the Mushroom then removes his mind, so that he "won't feel any sadness nor happiness." This is assuming he's even [[AndIMustScream kept alive]] after this point.

Added DiffLines:

* GenreMotif: Both the path leading to the [[BotanicalAbomination Mushroom's Creator]] and the ending following its BossBattle plays off-key 8-bit renditions of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' music, not unlike what one would hear from bootlegs such as ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorldNES''. This is to emphasize how ''wrong'' this character is, even within the setting of this game.


Added DiffLines:

* NightmareFace: Almost every ending is accompanied by one, usually depicting Mario, related to the outcome of that ending.
