* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: While the new characters are charming and the writing is just as witty as in the main game, this mode has been heavily criticized for its overly simplistic gameplay and repetitive nature, as battles are mostly automated and LevelGrinding soon becomes a necessity.

** Fawful being a major character in ''Minion Quest'' was revealed immediately, and pretty much everyone called that he'd be the BigBad. The Mechawfuls (now Mecha-Fawfuls) from ''Bowser's Inside Story'' were a nice surprise, showing up as the ones responsible for assaulting the Castle Town at the start of the game and fought during the final battle.

%%** Starlow** Starlow's certainly an interesting choice, considering that she's normally with the good guys, with the closest she's ever gotten to working with the Koopa Troop being working with Bowser in ''Bowser's Inside Story''. There's also the part where she ''didn't even exist'' in the original ''Superstar Saga''.

* MagnficentBastard: Fawful counts, see the [[YMMV/MarioAndLuigi main page]] for details.

Starlow's appearance in Gwarhar Lagoon is pretty unexpected. Even more surprising is that she gets unlocked as a flying minion, perhaps a reference to Bowser offering to have her join the Koopa Troop in Inside Story before he knows who she really is. I dont know how to write this right now though.

* BestBossEver:
** Any fight with Private Goomp, as they end with Goomp going to duel your Captain and spamming his Rocket Headbutt.
** After all the Koopalings are saved, [[spoiler:Ludwig decides to test Captain Goomba by sending out all of his forces before all the Koopalings come at you at once]].
* ScrappyMechanic: Spiky enemies. Spinies and Sharpeas will damage any direct attacker from above, while Pokies and Pestnuts will damage all non-Ranged attackers. The spikes don't do much damage, but the damage does build up when combined with their actual attacks. Furthermore, as all of them are Melee units, only specific Ranged units are plausible for specific Spiky enemies, and they'll still take extra damage from the Melee attacks.
* ThatOneLevel: Pokey Panic in the final area. While it consisting of solely Melee units and having only three waves make it look like a cakewalk, the two most prominent enemies are Pokies and Spinies, two enemies with problems mentioned in ScrappyMechanic above.
* ThatOneSidequest: Two Challenges require a bit more effort than the rest:
** Performing all skills isn't bad on paper, and the game is kind enough to tell you how many are left. The issue is that there's nothing that tells you what skills you've done already. If you have a good number left, you'll have to rely on memory and guesswork to find them.
** Completing 200 quests isn't hard, but extremely tedious due to how high the number is. By the time you complete all the quests, you'll likely be just under the 100 mark, and by the time this Challenge is the only one left, you'll probably be a bit away from 150 if you haven't extensively grinded. The result is doing the first quest over and over until you reach 200.

* UnexpectedCharacter:
** Most of the Minions in the remake are series staples. Bomb Boos, who only appear in one level in ''Galaxy'' and in the rematch with that level's boss in the sequel, were not expected at all.
