Nintendo High is an animated web series created by YouTuber Foozle, based on the many franchises created by Nintendo, but primarily on Super Mario Bros. The first episode premiered on May 7th, 2021.

The series follows a teenage Mario and Luigi as they attend the prestigious Nintendo High School, where they find themselves wrapped in various scenarios, such as Mario's developing crush on Peach, or the bros contending with bullies like Wario and Waluigi.

The series is currently ongoing, with the third season premiering on May 23rd, 2025.

Pack your bags and join us at Nintendo High! Today, we’ll be studying these tropes…

  • Accidental Misnaming: Donkey Kong calls Luigi "Louie" twice in "The Quest".
  • Adaptational Heroism:
    • Played with in K. Rool's case. While he still joins the villains in the Season 1 finale, after Donkey Kong punches him in the eye, he claims to believe it was all a big theater exercise and tells everyone to stop.
  • Adaptational Jerkass:
    • Downplayed with Mario. While he's still as selfless and courageous as his canon self, he's also more cynical and sarcastic. And even as the series goes on, he gets better.
    • Considering his cocky, abrasive nature in his own games, Falco being a bully isn’t too far-fetched. What’s shocking however is the nice but incompetent Slippy being his toady.
  • Adaptational Species Change: Subverted. In "Partners," Mario and Luigi are assigned to take care of a Pokémon egg. When the egg finally hatches, it's revealed to be none other than Yoshi, suggesting that he's a Pokémon in this series. Though in the Season 2 finale, Luigi clarifies that Shelly's egg was mixed up in the Pokémon's eggs, confirming that it's not the case.
  • Adaptational Villainy:
  • Age Lift:
    • Fitting for a High School AU series, most of if not all of the characters are de-aged into teens, and those whom are already kids become babies. The Koopalings and The Broodals are turned into toddlers, and Madame Broode is younger.
    • The Sega characters seem to be an exception as they remain unchanged. Sonic and Knuckles are already canonically teenagers, though the series uses Sonic's more youthful looking Classic design from the earlier games as opposed to his more older looking design used from Sonic Adventure onwards, and while Tails is still eight, the fact that he's a Child Prodigy can justify him attending high school instead of something more age appropriate.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Pit and Palutena are often shown hanging out together and are even seen in the restaurant in "The Date" together, but whether or not they are an actual couple or just close friends has yet to be revealed.
  • Arc Words: "Shine like the superstar you are."
  • Babysitter's Nightmare: Even the union of four girls wasn't enough to handle Ness and Lucas. And when the Koopalings and the Broodals show up...
  • Babysitting Episode: Peach stars in one for the fourth episode of season 2, "Royal Pain," taking care of baby Ness and Lucas.
  • Bait-and-Switch: In "The Date," Goron is on a date with "Thwompina". At the end of the episode, "Thwompina" is revealed to be a transformed Kirby, who inhales all of their food.
  • Batman Gambit: Peach and her friends are immediately wise to Bowser and Mouser's charade during the slumber party, luring the duo in by simply playing along until Bowser finally cracks. Only then does Bowser realize too late that the girls have already caught on to his act when he and Mouser receive a verbal (and physical) thrashing instead of the compliments he was expecting. Word about the ordeal gets out the next day amongst his fellow villains, damaging Bowser's reputation even further.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: In "Slumber Party", Peach and all the guests at the titular event (Peach herself, Daisy, Birdo, Marina, Isabelle, Rosalina and Zelda) are all fairly nice people but all of them gleefully join in on Daisy's plan to torment Bowser and Mouser, who tried to crash Disguised in Drag in order to make sure they caught the "boy talk" in hopes Peach would praise Bowser.
  • Big Bad: Bowser, naturally, for the first season.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Downplayed in the Season 1 Finale. Samus is grabbed by Ridley and Captain Falcon lunges, charging up a Falcon Punch to rescue her. He ineffectually punches Ridley's toes and gets flicked away. Samus proceeds to save herself.
  • Big "NO!": King K. Rool's reaction after learning he's partners with Donkey Kong for the egg hatching assignment.
  • Body Surf: Done accidentally by Daisy in "Mall Brawl." While visiting Crazy Cap, Daisy tries on a top hat, not realizing that it's Cappy. She tosses it aside and accidentally captures DK as a result.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: Luigi gets changed into Mr. L by Nastasia in "Identity Theft." He breaks free of the enchantment next episode.
  • Breather Episode: The action packed and emotionally charged two parter "Rescue Mission" and "The Comeback", which ends with a tearful goodbye between Sonic and the Mario Bros as the former returns to Sega High with Tails and Knuckles is then followed by "The Date", a more lighthearted and comedic episode that focuses on Mario and Peach's romantic relationship.
  • Brutal Honesty: In contrast to the mild-mannered and soft-spoken Peach, Daisy has a brash and outspoken personality. She always speaks her mind, never minces her words and is never afraid to put bullies (like Bowser or Pauline and her Girl Posse) in their place.
  • The Bus Came Back: Mouser makes a return in "Mall Brawl", where it was revealed that he has been searching for Bowser throughout the entire season.
  • Butt-Monkey:
    • Toad, who gets/is injured in every appearance. It's implied that the heroes forget to rescue him in the Season 1 Finale, as the Toad in that episode has blue dots.
    • Captain Falcon is often this. He gets brutally rejected by Daisy, his Falcon Punch isn't nearly as powerful as in Smash, and Samus nearly tramples him with a Tauros.
  • Cannot Talk to Women: Francis, to the point where he has to consult a book to talk to Pauline. He's even dating a Sandbag in the same episode.
  • Casanova Wannabe: Captain Falcon is shown to be something of a flirt, but just about every girl he tries to talk to rejects him.
  • Catchphrase: "Mamma Mia" and "Let's-A-Go" for Mario, of course.
  • Celebrity Paradox: Played with in "Mall Brawl". While visiting the Game & Watch arcade, Mario and Peach play a fighting game featuring Theet versions of Ryu and Chun-Li. Street Fighter and other Capcom characters already cameo in "Oh Brother." To make it even more confusing, the game they're playing is titled TKII.
  • Chain of Deals: The Mario Bros go through one in "The Quest".
  • Class Princess: Pun aside, Princess Peach is a beautiful and fashionable popular girl who, in spite of her high status, is sweet, kind, humble and caring.
  • Crossover: Fitting for the show's title, along with Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog. This series could be best described as Super Smash Bros. in a High School AU. The logo itself resembles the Smash Logo, but with a star.
    • Some non-Nintendo characters make cameos as well. In "Identity Theft," Nintendo High goes up against Capcom characters in a football game. Blanka, E. Honda, Viewtiful Joe, Arthur, Servbot, and Amingo appear here.
    • In the season 2 premiere "Rivals," Blinky and Inky are working out in the gym where Mario and Sonic hold their weightlifting competition.
      • In the same episode, Cooking Mama oversees Mario and Sonic's cooking match.
    • While Sega High hasn't been seen yet, we get brief glimpses of it in "The Comeback." It's here that we see Ristar, AiAi, NiGHTS, Beat, Billy Hatcher, and Ecco.
    • In "Secrets," while trying to get to school, Mario and Luigi pass by Spiral Mountain.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Mario and Luigi's family history is revealed in the season 2 finale "Secrets".
  • Death by Cameo: This happens to the Squid Sisters in "Mall Brawl", though it likely isn't fatal, given the nature of "splatting" in their home series. Daisy tries to get autographs from them, but Mario accidentally splats them why trying out a Sploosh-O-Matic.
  • Disguised in Drag: In "Slumber Party", Bowser and Mouser disguise themselves as "Bowsina" and "Mouserella" to get into the titular slumber party at Peach's castle. Not a single person is fooled.
  • The Dog Bites Back: In "Oh Brother!," being turned into Mr. L causes Luigi to become a bully himself, though it’s not like Wario, Waluigi, Falco, and Slippy didn’t deserve what was coming to them.
  • Drama Queen: K. Rool is one, being a theater kid. Nearly every scene is him acting as dramatic as possible.
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: Peach was voiced by Kyarah Castillo in the first episode, using a voice slightly deeper than canon. In subsequent episodes, she's voiced by Jenny Glynn, sounding closer to her canon voice.
  • Egg Sitting: "Partners" is about the students looking after Pokémon eggs.
  • Embarrassing First Name: Captain Falcon isn't a fan of being called "Douglas."
  • Even the Guys Want Him: Male Byleth is shown blushing towards Link.
  • Even the Loving Hero Has Hated Ones: Princess Peach is polite, kind and patient towards everyone, even Bowser (at first), but tends to become more snippy and impatient whenever her rival, Pauline, is around and makes fun of her.
  • Eye Scream: During the fight in "The Grand Finale", Donkey Kong punches K. Rool in the eye and the latter's monocle breaks, causing shards to be stuck into his eye.
  • Fighting from the Inside: Luigi does this to break free from Mr. L's influence to save Mario in "Oh Brother!"
  • Gilligan Cut: In “The Date”, when Mario is worried about Luigi and Daisy looking after Shelly at home, Peach tells him not to as they’re probably watching Luigi’s soap operas. The scene IMMEDIATELY cuts to Luigi and Daisy having a dance party with Shelly.
  • Girls Stare at Scenery, Boys Stare at Girls: When Rosalina comments on how beautiful the moon is and asks Waluigi if he agrees, he stares at her lovingly as he says "Yeah... it... really is."
  • Goo-Goo-Godlike: Ness and Lucas are just toddlers in this series, but still possess their dangerous psychic powers, which create an absolute mess for Peach when she babysits them.
  • Gross-Up Close-Up:
    • K. Rool gets one of his eye after DK punches his monocle into it in "The Grand Finale!"
    • Wario gives one to King Boo in "The Mansion".
  • Halloween Episode: The second episode of Season 2, “The Mansion.”
  • High-Class Gloves: Peach, Daisy, Zelda and Pauline wear these gloves In “Showtime!” and “The Grand Finale”, pairing with their homecoming dresses.
  • High School AU: Of the Nintendo franchises, leaning on a bit of Super Smash Bros since Sonic's arrival.
    • Funnily enough, in a Q&A video by Foozle, The high school setting was the last thing that came to his mind, but he needed a setting for characters who don't usually interact with each other. This was also a way for characters to develop in a short period of time.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: Master Hand seems to think that Wario and Waluigi are victims of Mario and Luigi's bullying, instead of the other way around.
  • Instrument of Murder: In “The Mansion”, while it doesn’t kill them, Mario and Peach end up playing the Mad Piano which ends up attacking them, considering how their clothes are ripped at the end of the episode.
  • Insult Backfire: When Mario and co. describe Bowser to Mouser as a maniacal power hungry tyrant and a selfish rich boy bully along with listing the evil things he did in season 1, Mouser thinks it means they miss him as well.
  • Karma Houdini: As far as we know, Nastasia hasn't received any karma for brainwashing Luigi.
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In "Mall Brawl," Mario remarks how wherever he and Luigi go, they always seem to run into students from Nintendo High.
    Luigi: Hm? Must be a coincidence.
    • In "Rescue Mission," after Mario knocks Sonic out during a basketball game, Luigi scolds him by saying "Why can't you just play NORMAL sports!? None of these SPECIAL SHOTS or POWER-UPS!" This lampshades the nature of Mario Sports games.
    • Given that this is a series based on some of the most famous video game franchises, we get this gem from Peach in "Mall Brawl":
    Peach: Who knew video games could be so much fun!? I have to play more!
  • Light Feminine Dark Feminine: Princess Peach and Pauline. Peach is sweet, kind and innocent, while Pauline is vain, haughty and manipulative.
  • Lovable Jock: Donkey Kong is into sports and is a friendly and fun-loving Gentle Gorilla.
  • Mad Scientist: E. Gadd, naturally. He was a former professor at Nintendo High but was demoted to a janitor after one of his inventions went wrong.
  • Meme Acknowledgement:
    • During Mario and Sonic's art competition, what does Sonic paint? Sanic.
    • "Partners" could be considered the "Mama Luigi" episode, as it revolved around the Mario Bros. looking after a Pokémon Egg, with Luigi fully devoting himself to the role. The reference only goes deeper when their Pokémon is revealed to be Yoshi, the one Luigi takes care of in the titular episode.
    • In "Royal Pain", after beating Mario in ClayFighter, Sonic breaks into a victory dance. The dance he does is the same one from the "Sonic Dance" meme.
    • In The Date, while going out with Claude, Byleth complains that he "couldn't get in because there were too many swordsmen." This is a reference to the complaints about Super Smash Bros. having too many swordsmen (and Fire Emblem characters) on their roster.
    • "Slumber Party" contains two references to the (in)famous Bowsette meme:
      • One of the title cards features Bowser putting on a Super Crown and transforming into said character (albeit with red hair and a green dress).
      • When Bowser wonders what name should he choose for his female alter ego, Mouser suggests "Bowsette", but Bowser rejects it in favor of "Bowsina".
  • Minor Living Alone:
    • Despite being only teens, the Mario Bros. live alone, and it's implied that it's been the case since their parents' disappearance a decade ago.
    • Despite the stained glass in her castle suggests that her mother may still be alive, both episodes taking place at Peach's castle strongly imply that she lives alone.
  • Mood-Swinger: In "The Date," Mario's date with Peach nearly ends in disaster because of the Vibe Amulet, which causes Peach's emotions to suddenly change and makes her unstable until Mario is able to take it off of her.
  • Mood Whiplash: Mario’s heartwarming speech to Bowser, trying to get him to change his ways. It almost succeeds until the crowd mocks him and belittles him, causing him to lash out at Mario and punch him.
  • My Greatest Failure: The unfortunate incident with Mario and Luigi's parents lead to E. Gadd becoming Nintendo High's reclusive scientist turned janitor.
  • Mythology Gag: Despite the Age Lift and high school setting, there are still references to the characters' canon selves.
    • Mario talks like an American high-school student in this series, but when Doopliss pretends to be Mario in the Season 1 finale, he uses the usual "It's-a-me" accent.
    • Characters often complain about the history of Hyrule being complicated, thanks to its multiple timelines.
    • In "The Quest," when Mario insists to K. Rool that Donkey Kong isn't a brute, K. Rool sarcastically retorts that he's a swashbuckling pirate.
    • In "Washed Up," when E. Gadd first appears, he makes the usual gibberish sounds as heard in Luigi's Mansion.
    • When DK is held in a cage in the Season 1 finale, he makes the same pose as his sprite in the original arcade game.
    • In the Season 2 premiere:
    • In "The Mansion," Luigi's adult self is seen in Madame Clairvoya's crystal ball.
    • In "Royal Pain," upon greeting Ness and Lucas, Peach brings them in before they catch a case of the Blorbs.
      • In the same episode, when Ness hits Rosalina with his bat, what pops up on the screen? SMAAAASH!!
    • In "Rescue Mission":
      • During a basketball game with Mario and Sonic, they recreate the same poses from the 3DS boxart of Mario and Sonic Rio 2016.
      • Mario says "They don't call me Jumpman for nothin'!" Jumpman, of course, was Mario's original name.
    • In "The Comeback":
      • When attacking Knuckles, Mario recreates the pose he makes on the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate boxart.
      • At the end of the episode, Sonic climbs to the top of a peak and then rolls down its slope, just like in the intro of Sonic the Hedgehog CD.
    • In "The Date," a blue-shelled Koopa mentions getting a job at a race track.
    • In "Mall Brawl," Coconut Mall is chock full of references.
    • In "Secrets," Mario's father seems to have the visage of Bob Hoskins, and his clothes have the same color scheme as Mario's in Donkey Kong (1981).
    • Also, in the Mario Q&A, when asked about who he would want on a sport team, Mario picks Luigi because he's an "all-around player" like himself. In Mario Sports games, Mario and Luigi are typically Jack of All Stats characters, which are described as All-Around.
    • In "Slumber Party," after Zelda throws a scorching hot towel on Bowser's face, it turns him into Dry Bowser when she takes it off.
    • Before Rudy shows up at Rosalina's locker in "The Breakup", she hums the "Comet Observatory" theme.
  • No Ontological Inertia: In "The Date," Peach, under the "gloom" effects of the Vibe Amulet, floods the entire restaurant with her tears. After Mario snaps her out of it, it all evaporates.
  • Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Mario and Luigi don't have their usual accents, instead sounding like typical American high schoolers. The only time Mario's iconic voice appears is when Doopliss pretends to be him in the Season 1 finale.
    Doopliss: Do you know how hard it was to talk in that goofy accent of your, slick? I mean, geez!
    Mario: I don't sound like that!
    • Averted with Wario and Waluigi, who sound as they do in the games.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: In "Slumber Party", the girls saw through Bowser and Mouser's Paper Thin Disguises as soon as they laid eyes on them. Daisy, however, convinces Peach who convinces everyone else to play dumb in order to put the duo through hell.
  • Ocular Gushers: Peach gains these while under the "gloom" effects of the Vibe Amulet.
  • Official Couple: After the first season's finale, Mario and Peach, and Luigi and Daisy.
  • The One Guy: Claude is the only male member of Nintendo High's cheerleading squad.
  • Opening Shout-Out: Peach hums the theme music while brushing Rosalina's hair in "Slumber Party".
  • Operation: Jealousy: A platonic example happens in "The Breakup" shortly after Wario and Waluigi terminate their friendship.
    • Wario shows up with the crew of Wario Ware, claiming to be his new best friends. However, it's later revealed that he paid them to pretend to be his friends (except for Mona, who is in love with Wario).
    • Waluigi later shows up with Booster as his new best friend. However, it's clear that he's using Booster as a Replacement Goldfish for Wario.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Subverted in "Slumber Party". Peach was clearly able to tell that "Bowsina" and "Mouserella" were Bowser and Mouser Disguised in Drag and was about to tell them to get lost, but Daisy convinced her to let them into the party so they could put the two uninvited guests through hell.
  • Parental Abandonment: Mario and Luigi's parents have yet to be seen. The fact that they're never around is a sore spot for the two, and mentioning them is a Berserk Button for Mario.
    • This is especially prominent in "Partners," when the brothers are assigned to look after a Pokémon egg. While Mario is initially dismissive, Luigi fully commits to the role of being a good parent. When Luigi calls Mario out on his behavior, he retorts that they don't have good parents. This is when Mario realizes why the project means to much to Luigi and changes his attitude.
    • In "Secrets," their parents are revealed to be former Nintendo High students and E. Gadd's lab partners. During Mario and Luigi's infancy, the young Mama and Papa had to leave them behind one fateful night to accompany E. Gadd on a Yoshi's Island expedition. The discovery of a powerful but unstable Grand Star resulted in an accident of tremendous size and Elvin's futile attempt to save the couple from their presumed deaths. The boys are rightfully grief-stricken upon learning the truth.
  • Playing with Fire: Mario slowly develops these abilities over the series.
  • Post-Victory Collapse: After Peach manages to finally calm down babies Ness and Lucas by putting them to sleep with a lullaby, the girls collapse in exhaustion.
  • The Prom Plot: Well, more of a homecoming… but the final two episodes of Season 1: “Showtime!” and “The Grand Finale”, has the students at the homecoming dance, where the climax of the two-parter, has Bowser and the other antagonists imprisoning the other students so Bowser can finally get with Peach. Needless to say, the other students won’t let it slide that easily….
  • Pubescent Braces: Some characters, such as Marx, have these. It is a high school, after all.
  • Put on a Bus: Aside from appearing on the background of Daisy's phone, Mario and Luigi are nowhere to be seen in Slumber Party. This is because in the previous episode, they’d discovered the truth about their parents, and have left on a quest to find them.
  • Replacement Goldfish: In "Partners," Sonic tries to use a Ninetails as one for a certain Sega High student. It doesn't work.
    Sonic: It's actually got like...nine tails! Which is like...y'know...better than two, right? Aha-ha...Aha-ha...
  • Running Away to Cry: Happens with Luigi a few times, such as when he leaves the nurse's office after calling Mario out for not noticing how awful the former's first day at Nintendo High was, or when he was the laughingstock of the football game in "Identity Theft".
  • Same Character, But Different: When Bowser returns as "Rookie" in "Mall Brawl," he's lost all memories of his former self. As a result, he's much more submissive, naive, and timid. But that all fades away when his memories return.
  • Sequel Hook:
    • "The Grand Finale": A defeated Bowser is found by Popple, implying the former lost his memory. And a certain blue hedgehog is newly enrolled in the school.
    • "The Mansion": The ending implies that Antasma will appear in a future episode, since his shadow is seen in that clip.
    • "The Comeback": While Sonic, Tails and Knuckles return to SEGA High, the screen pans out to reveal Metal Sonic staring at them. He then turns to the viewers, and the screen goes black before revealing the message: "Sonic Will Return".
  • "Shaggy Dog" Story: Mario and Luigi go through a Chain of Deals so Falco can help them find the janitor’s closet, but in the end, Fox tells them it's right in front of them.
  • Ship Tease: Waluigi and Rosalina, Link and Zelda, and to a lesser extent Captain Falcon and Samus.
  • Shout-Out: Aside from the obvious Nintendo references, there are a couple shout-outs to other media.
    • Goron is often seen wearing My Little Epona shirts.
    • In Mario and Luigi's bedroom, there's a poster of the movie Cheep.
    • "The Mansion," being a Halloween episode, there are several references to horror franchises.
      • When the Portrait Ghosts appear during the musical number, they recreate the opening to The Addams Family.
      • While Link and Zelda explore the mansion, a portrait of Chauncy can be found on the wall. The portrait changes when lightning strikes, similar to The Haunted Mansion.
      • Speaking of The Haunted Mansion, ghosts resembling the Hitchhiking Ghosts appear in "No 1-Ups".
      • King Boo himself is an Expy of Oogie Boogie, complete with a parody of "Oogie Boogie's Song".
    • In "Royal Pain," Peach has a poster of the Koopa-fied Spice Girls in her bedroom.
    • In a community post promoting "The Date," Pauline scribbles over Peach's picture in a yearbook, which looks very similar to the Burn Book from Mean Girls.
    • In "Mall Brawl," while visiting "Scratch-O Records, posters for STB and Shy II are seen.
    • In "Slumber Party," when Bowser tells Mouser he plans on invading Peach's slumber party, Mouser nervously tells him that he gets social anxiety around females and, suddenly, a close up of Mouser's face with his lips saying "females" is shown. This is referencing SpongeBob's infamous "actors" line from the episode "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy VI: The Motion Picture."
  • Slumber Party: The first episode of Season 3 revolves around Bowser and Mouser crashing Peach’s slumber party.
  • Spotlight-Stealing Crossover: Although the series features all of Nintendo's franchises, characters from Super Mario Bros. are given the main focus.
  • Spotting the Thread: Before sending the brothers off to clean the school, E. Gadd tells them to "Shine like the superstar you are." Luigi realizes that's what their mother used say to them.
  • Sudden Video Game Moment: In "Mall Brawl", the Peach and Daisy vs Popple and "Rookie" fight is done like a turn-based battle in style of the Mario & Luigi RPG series.
  • Synchro-Vox: When Mouser admits how awkward he is around girls, a close up of his mouth in this style is done as he says "females".
  • Those Two Guys: Wario and Waluigi, much like their canon (adult) selves, are two bullies who have nothing better to do but antagonize Mario and Luigi.
  • Toast of Tardiness: Parodied. When the Mario Brothers walk to school on Episode 1, they grab breakfast from a dessert-themed world.
  • Third Wheel: Wario constantly inserts himself into Waluigi and Rosalina's dates in "The Breakup". The fact that he's also extremely gross and disruptive leads to Waluigi to terminate their friendship.
  • Uncertain Doom: Downplayed as no one is supposed to die, but the end of Season 1 implies that every villain (except for the Mean Girls) was defeated and kicked out of the dance hall, even if the video didn't show it.
  • Villain Episode: Bowser is the star of the episode "The Slumber Party" as the episode focuses around him and Mouser crashing Princess Peach's slumber party.
  • Villain Song: "The Masked Man, Mr. L!", first sung in "Identity Theft!"
    O'Chunks: Who's got the brawn and brains, to bring upon the pain? His Super Jumpin' Punch can make ya go insane!
    Dimentio: He's charming and delightful, a Chaos Host as well!
    Mimi: His wit, looks, and charisma, will catch you in his spell!
    All three: Mr. L! Mr. L! The Masked Man, Mr. L!
    • The song later receives a Dark Reprise in "The Grand Finale!"
    O'Chunks: Who's got nowhere to hide and scared on the inside?
    Dimentio: An eternal understudy, so terrified to see me!
    Mimi: He's shaking in his shoes, it's the scaredy-cat Luigi!
  • What Does She See in Him?: In "Mall Brawl," after witnessing Wario eat a pizza in his usual fashion, Mona is smitten with him. Mario reacts exactly as you'd expect.
  • You Are Better Than You Think You Are: It's revealed the actual reason Sonic transferred from SEGA High was because he didn’t see himself as a hero, despite the fact every good person at SEGA High did. Mario gives him a pep-talk, telling him he has what it takes to be a hero, which convinces Sonic to return to his old school.
