11	----
12	!! Super Mushroom Kingdom Wars contains examples of:
13
14	* ANaziByAnyOtherName: The Wobbuffets of NEKO are heavily implied to be this during Nintendo Gamecube Wars.
15	* AnimalMecha: Primarily Super Contractor Bros, although numerous.
16	* AnyoneCanDie: But see "Death is Cheap:" below.
17	* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: The Maximum amount of regular troops any one player can control is 150,000.
18	* ArtifactTitle: "Super Mushroom Kingdom Wars" refers to the period when Mario themed armies were the only possible selection. Now, practically ''anything'' can be reasoned into the Wars so long as a component of its premise made it onto a Nintendo console in some form.
19	** And now, as long as it's been in a non-anime based video game.
20	%%* BodyguardBetrayal: Ganondorf to most of his employers.
21	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Players will sometimes involve themselves as [[AGodIsYou Greater Beings]] in the game for story purposes.
22	* ButtMonkey: Patsy, although most people who become partners with Popple usually become this.
23	* CombatTentacles: Titanic Blooper, Infini T.
24	%%* CombiningMecha: Megatoast.
25	* CurbStompBattle: Anti-Kirby Armada's attack against Second Chance, largely due to {{Cavalry Betrayal}}.
26	* DeadlyHug: Titanic Blooper loves to deliver these, mostly due to not knowing his own strength.
27	* DeathIsCheap: Bowser in particular has been killed off multiple times across the span of all the various versions of Nintendo Wars, yet comes back for more every few games or so.
28	* DirtyCommunists: Paradee and his Waddle Dee Rebels' hat (though they're also Anarchists...it's complicated), as well as the entire purpose of the Mushroom Revolutionary Front, and the MUSSR that results from it. Also the ultimate fate of NEKO during the finale of Nintendo Gamecube Wars.
29	* FauxAffablyEvil: Red Block and the rest of the Kids' Tetris crew.
30	* FunWithAcronyms: '''D'''udes '''I'''nterested in '''C'''rushing '''K'''oopas '''S'''quad. Also '''N'''ew '''E'''ldest '''K'''eep '''O'''ffense.
31	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Popple and Patsy, Green Jester and Skorne.
32	* HumongousMecha: Mega Toast, Toast, Captain Crunch, Undertoast, Toastette, Rainbow Toast, Super Toast, the Redeemer, Magnus Von Grapple 1.0-3.0, the New York S.T.A.R.s and probably numerous others.
33	* InNameOnly: Occasionally an army branded "Hylian" will have only ''very loose aesthetic ties'' to the actual [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]] series itself, normally ending up as a generic fantasy army [[RecycledinSpace only with Hylians]].
34	* KilledOffForReal: The use of certain artifacts can cause this to happen to Heroes, preventing them from coming back to life ''forevar''. Thankfully, such a technique has only ever been used on a character no one cared about anyways.
35	* KillItThroughItsStomach: The DRAGIN by Magikarp.
36	* LastOfHisKind: Yeto.
37	* MacrossMissileMassacre: How Guildmaster Wigglytuff was destroyed by Toast during Nintendo 64 Wars.
38	* MadDoctor: Infini T.
39	* MadScientist: Dr. Claisen, Dr. Wily, Dr. Robotnik, Dr. Klein ect.
40	* MassivelyMultiplayerCrossover: One of the base concepts of the game.
41	* Mooks: Any troop that isn't classified as a War Machine is going to end up becoming this, if not complete ''CannonFodder''.
42	* PowerDegeneration: How Popple ultimately goes out in his final battle
43	* PutOnABus: Landre, The Erlade of Zero Isles, and The Royal Messenger of NEKO, due to the player controlling the army permanently placing them in a quest and promptly refusing to complete it.
44	* ReforgedIntoAMinion: Giga Bowser and Bowser Jr. into Project GB-X 13 and Experiment BJ-X 6. Also Wigglytuff and Chatot into Captain Applejack and Admiral Applesauce.
45	* SealedEvilInACan: The Master Crown actually housed the spirit of a malevolent godlike force known as [[MeaningfulName Thanatus,]] who proved capable of taking down an entire army by himself.
46	* SpiderLimbs: Game Guy
47	* TankGoodness: NEKO's second hat after Ralts/Pokemon, also a specialty of the X-naut and Tetris armies. The Landmaster makes an appearance in every version as a purchasable good.
48	* TanksForNothing: Subverted; Even the wimpiest of five day light tanks can absolutely obliterate their fair share of mook-level ''HumongousMecha'' without breaking a sweat, as though the latter can be classified as either a War Machine or a Troop, all tanks are Classified as War Machines. In an even fight however, tanks are still at a disadvantage against most War Machine level mechs.
49	* TheVoice: Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Log, who doesn't play a role until The Last Conquest.
50	* TheGrimReaper: When Titanic Blooper becomes the Grim Reefer.
51	* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: In his battle with Popple, Happy Mask Salesman blasted the thief with several dozen mini-nukes, poison gas, yellow eco, thunder blasts, all the while shooting a steady stream of fire from the RYNO, and then dropped a moon on him. [[spoiler:It doesn't work.]]
52	** On Magolor's attack on Second Chance, he was poisoned, consumed a parasitic plant, telepathically immobilized, cursed, attacked by two large machines and dozens of turrets, accelerated to high speeds and flung through a tunnel of swords, scaled by hot glue and electrified jelly, attacked by a large toy mecha continuously zapping him while launching barrages of missiles and Legos, punched in the face with a spork attached to a boxing glove, and thrown into a makeshift wrestling ring to be hit by the People's Elbow before finally being finished off with a gentle hug from his arch-nemesis.
53	* WeCanRebuildHim: Game Guy
