* AccidentialMurder: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezKe0EKifVQ When everything Mario jumps on E X P A N D S]]" Mario abuses his SuperpowersForADay to make a gold coin enormous. He continues to stomp on the coin until it becomes so huge that it completely destroys Earth, causing literally everyone on the planet to lose a life. The lives lost shown includes minor enemies, some friendly [=NPCs=], Mario's friends, Princess Plum, and even [[AuthorAvatar Level UP]] himself. Waluigi in particular was on his last life when the world was destroyed and received a Game Over.

* {{Greed}}: One of Mario's most notable character traits is his love for gold, which very often ends up being a FatalFlaw for him and has caused a fair share of his deaths.


Added DiffLines:

* InexplicablyAwesome: Luigi can range from being a ButtMonkey to being this depending on the episode. How much of this being a result of him [[spoiler:being [[DemonicPossession possessed]] by an entity giving him GodMode]] is unclear, but at least [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezKe0EKifVQ one scenario]] shows that he had 99 lives while everyone else besides Mario, Bowser, and Waluigi (the latter whom was on his last life) had two lives remaining.

* LamePunReaction: At the end of "Mario vs. The Cavern of Arrows" following the plumber's defeat, Bowser snarks that he's glad Mario got the ''point''. Considering he made other arrow-based puns leading into the fight, it's no wonder Level UP's AuthorAvatar gives an unamused look towards him, prompting him to cut it out.
