History YMMV / HotelMario

** Bowser's EvilLaugh at the beginning is surprisingly effective, especially with the added echo effect.

** ** Morton, Roy, Larry, or Bowser ''[[JustEatHim eating]]'' you if they find you hiding in a door.

* NightmareFuel: Bowser's EvilLaugh at the beginning is surprisingly effective, especially with the added echo effect.

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: Considering that it's not made by Nintendo, and they pretty much don't want to associate themselves with this game, then yeah.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Iggy Koopa. Not only does he not have his own hotel like his siblings, but he is instead fought at Bowser's hotel, wearing a gigantic Bowser mask for some unknown reason. There ''was'' unused data for a cheese-themed hotel, which presumably would have belonged to Iggy, but Phillips didn't like how it looked and scrapped it. There's not even any indication that it belonged to Iggy at all. [[note]]Although such a random VideoGameSetting may not have been a bad idea, considering it's [[AxCrazy Iggy]].[[/note]]

* DiscreditedMeme: Due to being one of the foundations of WebAnimation/YouTubePoop source material and thus extremely overused, this game's memes have understandably fallen out of favor with the poop community. Most amateur poopers don't even bother trying to use them now.

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Marc Graue took his work on the game seriously and loved it's impact.

* MemeticMutation: The cutscenes of this game have been used almost religiously in a style of absurd video editing known as WebAnimation/YouTubePoop, since pretty much every scene is chock full of meme fodder thanks to the bizarre animation, hokey script, silly voices, and downright weird electronic/funk music. The unofficial slogan for [=YouTube=] Poop is even made of two different lines from the game that use the exact same animation. "Where there's smoke, they pinch back".

* JustHereForGodzilla / WatchItForTheMeme: The gameplay itself is perfectly playable and average. The real draw of the game's infamy is its bizarre animated cutscenes. If it weren't for those, the game probably wouldn't be as notorious as it is.

* FanworkOnlyFans: How many of the people who know this game have actually played it? Most of the people who know about this game only know about it because of all of the fan-made edits of the cutscenes.

** It has, however, seen a bit of a revival, as described below.

** It has, however, seen a bit of a revival, with people photoshopping Mario and Luigi's walk into Mushroom Kingdom into other, completely unrelated photos.

* {{Fanon}}: An odd example that crosses over with another CDI game and only exists in YTPS,but it is pretty much YoutubePoop Fanon to use Ludwig's Castle Hotel as [[TheLegendofZeldaCDIGames the King's]] castle, (usually not even changing the sign that claims it is Ludwig's building).
