* NightmareFuel: Luigi's Ghost Mansion is quite creepy for such an otherwise-lighthearted game. Especially [[https://youtu.be/Yd_knjA0WrM?t=1m4s when the Ghost catches someone]].

* NightmareFuel: Luigi's Ghost Mansion is quite SurpriseCreepy for such an otherwise-lighthearted game. Especially [[https://youtu.be/Yd_knjA0WrM?t=1m4s when the Ghost catches someone]].

*** The Lab and the final levels of Luigi's Ghost Mansion. The former has many places where the lone player can catch you, while the latter has no cover and the ghost can be captured easily.

* HarsherInHindsight: The model of the Ship from ''[VideoGame/Pikmin2'' has Monita remarking that it's probably best for everyone that it doesn't talk, a funny jab at the Ship's penchant for snarking. In ''VideoGame/Pikmin3'', [[spoiler:the Ship can never talk again because it has ceased functioning.]]

In ''Pikmin 3'', [[spoiler:the Ship can never talk again because it has ceased functioning.]]

* ThatOneBoss:
** The final boss of Pikmin Adventure, the Greater Bladed Beeb. He hits fast, and can take out all 6 of your hearts quickly.
** The Murasame Mask parade float. Unless you use a scroll, you won't be able to stop his fireballs.

** Donkey Kong's Crash Course. Much like the [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong game]] the minigame was based on, you will die many times for even the slightest provocations.

* TheScrappy: Monita to some, as her tutorial speeches are boring and can often take several minutes

** Some believe that Nintendo is observing the amount of times certain games are played to gauge interest of things like Takamaru's Ninja Castle, F-Zero and Metroid. Others still find the game absolutely amazing, as it integrates Nintendo [=IPs=] into a competitive (and actually quite challenging!) multiplayer experience without the aggravation of Mario Party and without just plain Miis doing Wii Sports minigames.

* HilariousInHindsight: The very idea of a Nintendo theme park has become this thanks to Ride/UniversalStudios creating Nintendo-themed attractions at their parks.

* VindicatedByHistory: The game was heavily written off at launch for being just another TechDemoGame, with no end of fans treating it harshly for seemingly cheapening multiple Nintendo properties. These days, the game is fondly remembered by those who played it for being far more fun than it seemed, particularly the multiplayer game modes, and is generally considered one of the Wii U's most underrated titles. Even Monita, who was firmly TheScrappy at launch due to being incredibly boring, would become well-liked over time for her quirkier traits and unique character design.

* EarWorm: Just try and get the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kGESv_ONH4 Main Plaza's theme]] out of your head.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l_lceQ0iEo Ridley's theme]]

* AwesomeMusic: Quite a bit of excellent remixes of familiar themes abound here, many of which were fully orchestrated:

* ThatOneBoss: The final boss of Pikmin Adventure, the Greater Bladed Beeb. He hits fast, and can take out all 6 of your hearts quickly.

* BrokenBase: The ''entire'' game has divided the base, as some feels it cheapens Nintendo's [=IPs=], while others view it as a more fitting successor to ''VideoGame/WiiSports'' that keeps the Nintendo spirit, serves as a great newbie introduction to the various Nintendo franchises, and provides awesome remixes of Nintendo's classic themes.

* [[ThatOneLevel That One Minigame]]: Donkey Kong's Crash Course. Much like the [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong game]] the minigame was based on, you will die many times for even the slightest provocations.

* [[MemeticSexGod Memetic Sex Goddess]]: Strangely, Monita is this to some people, and Dark Monita even more so.

*** Level 14 as the archer again in Battle Quest's single player. In addition to everything included in Level 12, there are numerous obstacles to interfere with your archery like the castle ledges on the outside and with you walking close to them, you constantly have poor angles to fight off the enemy hordes. Also the wind will hinder your arrow trajectories while you're outside!
