Line 16:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Bomb]]: Waluigi shows why these should never be used as grenades.
* [[Apocalypse How]]: Planetary destruction and implied total extinction of life on Mobius and {{spoiler|Regional destruction with Physical Annihilation in regards to Yoshi Island.}}
* [[Airplane Arms]]: Mario, Luigi, and Sonic. That ''is'' how they run in their games, however.
* [[Another Dimension]]: Mobius is this to the Mushroom Kingdom.
Line 27:
* [[Avenging the Villain]]: Basilisx wants revenge on Mario because he killed his best friend, which by the sound of his description, was an unimportant Koopa in one of the castles of ''[[Super Mario World (video game)|Super Mario World]]''... although some have have noted that the details he provides don't match up with the game, throwing some suspicion on whether his motives are truthful.
** Then again, because of the experiments done onto Basilisx to make him super-powerful, maybe the procedure really messed up his memories, and he could be talking about some other Koopa Troopa Mario killed. Another possibility is that the events in question are lies fabricated by Bowser to increase Basilisx's rage.
** Then AGAIN, why on Earth would fabrication of such memories even be necessary? God knows Mario has killed enough Troopas in his time...
** Considering [[Wolverine|who Basilisx might be based off...]]
* [[Badass]]: Mecha Sonic. Whenever he gets involved in the action, some ''serious'' ass-kicking [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1Z1PjFXYcs is about to ensue.] But then again, everybody has been badassed-up to some extent — even Luigi.
Line 57:
* [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]]: ''Mario'' evokes this. See [[What the Hell, Hero?]], below.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi.
* [[Camera Abuse]]: Waluigi smacks into it while flying around after Wario pokes him with a pin. Bowser ''cracks'' it when Mario throws him out of the Grand Prix in Episode 2. {{spoiler|This is a reference to what happens to him after defeating Cackletta back in Superstar Saga.}}
** ...Aaaand then the lens is completely shattered in Episode 8 by a startled mook.
* [[The Cameo]]: [[Punch Clock Villain|Jeff and Hal]] of ''[[Bowser's Kingdom]]'', another Newgrounds Mario series, make a cameo appearance in Episode 7.
Line 70:
* [[Cliff Stack]]: Sonic is a reoccurring victim of this.
* [[Colony Drop]]: The Death Egg crashes on Mobius, with some incredibly-devastating consequences.
* [[
* [[Cool Plane]]: [[Super Mario Land|Sky Pop]] Mark II. It doesn't use a runway for takeoff — [[Crowning Moment of Funny|It uses a slingshot!]]
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Basilisx has absolutely no qualms about using [[Poison Mushroom|Poison Mushrooms]] to weaken his opponent or Luigi as a shield/bludgeon.
Line 95:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Shadow.
* [[Death From Above]]: Mecha Sonic's ginormous energy ball, which in appearance is a ''miniature Sun'', which was hurled at Yoshi's Island.
** Reference to Frieza's death ball which destroyed Planet Vegeta in DBZ.
* [[Death World]]: {{spoiler|Moebius}}
* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: Luigi's flashback in Episode 6.
Line 135:
* [[Family-Unfriendly Death]]: Mecha Sonic is the king of this. During the flashback showing him murdering Sonic's friends, each death is more brutal then the last: {{spoiler|he snaps Tails' neck, [[More Dakka|fills Cream (and Cheese) with lead]], beats down Knuckles and ''then'' fills him with lead, and what he did to Amy was probably just as bad. Nobody even ''knows'' how he killed Rouge, but if his trends are anything to go by it probably wasn't pretty.}}
** Then there's his gruesome killing of the Axem Rangers. It's really saying something when being completely vaporized down to the last atom is the ''tamest'' death of a battle, although compared to ''decapitating Axem Green's head and then crushing it in his hand''... anything is tame.
** Somewhat subverted with the death of the Koopa Bros. which is not directly shown, but highly implied.
* [[Fastball Special]]: Wario attempts this with Waluigi in Episode 8. It [[Goldfish Poop Gang|doesn't exactly work out]].
** Mario and Luigi often use their hammers to launch Sonic, Shadow, or Luigi with his blue shell armor. Yoshi uses a variation where he eats an ally and spits them out as an attack.
Line 186:
* [[Le Parkour]]: Sonic in the underground.
* [[Made of Iron]]: All fighters.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Basilisx is a reference to the Basilisk, the mythological creature (lizard) that can turn a person into stone by looking at him/her...although the mythical Basilisk's eye-stare actually ''killed its victims instantly''. The author stated that he deliberately invoked [[Taken for Granite]] to ensure the heroes didn't die. Of course, as [[Dungeons
* [[Melee a Trois]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDrukfontFg The big free-for-all] between Mario and the crew, the Koopa Bros. and the Axem Rangers. And then [[It Got Worse|Mecha Sonic]] [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|joins in.]]
* [[Meteor Move]]: Mecha Sonic does this a lot during his fights.
Line 204:
** Mecha Sonic ''himself'' gets one in Episode 6. {{spoiler|After a powered-up Mario and Sonic bludgeon the Chaos Emeralds out of Mecha Sonic, Sonic prepares to finish him off with an energy blast. For a machine that doesn't show any expressions, Mecha Sonic's [[Oh Crap]] face was priceless. He's saved only by an ill-timed [[Power-Up Letdown]]}}
* [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping]]: Given the shortage of audio clips of Italian-accented "Sonic", when Mario says it it sounds distinctly British.
* [[Orphaned Series]]: As of March 2012.
* [[Petting Zoo People]]: Users of Super Leaves and Tanooki Suits become this.
* [[Playing with Fire]]: Mario and Fire Sonic.
Line 213:
* [[Power Glows]]: Mario, Sonic, and Mecha Sonic.
** Mario gets the most variety in his, getting a ''DBZ'' styled one with the Cape Feather, a flaming one for the Fire Flower, and ''DBZ'' style with [[Sparkles]] for the [[Invincibility Power-Up|Super Star]].
* [[Power-Up Letdown]]: What Luigi seems to think of his [[New Super Mario Bros.|Blue Shell]] upgrade in Episode 5, but before three seconds have passed it proves to be useful.
* [[The Professor]]: E. Gadd.
* [[The Psycho Rangers]]: The Axems
Line 224:
* [[Right Back At Ya]]: Yoshi with one of Mecha Sonic's missiles in Episode 7.
* [[Robot Me]]: Mecha Sonic and {{spoiler|Mecha Mario}}.
* [[Rule of Cool]]: This series runs on this Trope. For example, Yoshi alone arguably puts up as good as, if not a better fight against Mecha Sonic than Mario and Sonic combined.
** Might be a case of [[Fridge Brilliance]], as in his initial Mario appearance (Super Mario World), Yoshi is actually much more powerful than Mario himself.
** Plus Shadow is never depicted as being much stronger than any of the others, yet he's the only one ever able to land an effective hit in a square fight on Semi-Super Mecha Sonic in their battle. (Mario manages to interrupt an attack with a chargedd fireball, but he took Mecha Sonic by surprise)
Line 230:
** Something negative always happens to Luigi.
* [[Schedule Slip]]: There was a 16-month difference between the release of the sixth and seventh episodes.
{{quote|'''Kolorado:''' I hate to break it to you, Goombella, but that joke had been done in the [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|previous episode]].
'''Goombella:''' Aw, come on, Professor! [[Lampshade Hanging|That episode was released, like, a year and a half ago!]] [[Fleeting Demographic Rule|No one's going to remember what happened in it!]] }}
** And then a 12-month gap between 7 and 8. This has been attributed to [[Creator Breakdown]], though.
Line 253:
** Episode 8 also features a shout out to ''[[Zero Wing]]'' "Main Screen Turn On" and also a ''[[Star Trek]]'' shout out with the minion who "jus' cayn't" push the stuck button to the Omega Doomship's BFG.
** Basilisx owes a lot to [[X-Men|Wolverine's]] moveset in the ''[[Capcom vs. Whatever]]'' series.
*** As does Axem Red's aformentioned [[BFG]], which was lovingly ripped from [[Iron Man|Iron Man's]] moveset.
** Another one from Episode 8 comes from Basilisx's final attack on Mario after the Poison Mushroom attack. It looks exactly like Vega's Ultra Special from ''[[Street Fighter]] IV'', "Bloody High Claw".
*** Not to mention Sonic doing the Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku, from the same series, several times. Also, Mario doing the Shoryuu Reppa in Episode 8.
Line 265:
** Wario using Waluigi to get to Yoshi's Island (as a life preserver) might be a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|Superstar Saga]], where Luigi is used as a surfboard, more or less.
** While we're on the topic, the situation on Mobius ( {{spoiler|most main heroes dead, the end of the world being imminent}}) smacks of the Trunks's future in DBZ.
** I'm probably stretching this, but one Koopa Bro (I think it might have been Red, ironically...) spouts the "Smell ya later!" line, after their first encounter with the main team, a la [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Gary Oak/Blue/Green/whatever.]]
** Semi-Super Mecha Sonic's response to Red's "[[You Monster!]]" remark is a direct paraphrase to Broly's infamous "I am the Devil" line.
** During Mecha-Sonic's [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] of the Axem Rangers, he quotes [[Final Fantasy I|Garland]]. [[Dissidia|"I'll crush you!"]]
Line 302:
** The Omega Doomship sports one as well in Episode 8.
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|What Measure Is A Robot]]: The Axems are the only characters to be killed on screen so far - Mecha Sonic simply ripped them apart. It wasn't pleasant to watch. Still, they didn't bleed, and Smithy can always rebuild them.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Shadow finally gets called out for his excessively [[Jerkass]] attitude in Episode 8.
** Basilisx does the same to Mario later, recounting how gruesome his best friend's death was at Mario's feet. As stated above, Mario just [[But for Me It Was Tuesday|doesn't remember]].
** Here's the full quote, with [[Sssssnaketalk|enlongated "s" sounds]] edited out:
