** In ''Super Mario Shirayuki-hime‎'' Mario is said to have obtained his potion from a goddess he helped out. No adaptation of ''Snow White'' features any mention of gods, nor did the prince ever meet one. Also, the queen never had any minions, and the prince obviously never had a younger brother.

Considering that Toads were the only friendly characters in the series at the time (barring kings in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3''), this was one heck of a coincidence.

* AdaptationalVillainy: While Bowser usually retains his VillainousCrush towards Peach in the ''Literature/{{Momotaro}}'' and ''Issun-bōshi'' stories and either kidnaps or attempts to kidnap her, the ''Snow White'' adaptation has Bowser as the evil queen, complete with the desire to kill Peach so he can be the FairestOfThemAll. The Koopalings follow suit on two fronts, as not only did [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 their debut game]] set them up as distractions so Bowser can do his thing, but they also stand in for the huntsman in the original fairy tale, who helps Snow White escape from the queen because he can't bring himself to do the deed.

Among other things, "ojisan and obasan" mean "uncle and aunt".



to:

* ActionizedAdaptation: It goes without saying that ''Snow White'' didn't indicate that any battles took place, though the queen did attempt to murder her stepdaughter in cold blood. Conversely, the ''Mario'' version has a fight at the beginning and end of the story.
* AdaptedOut: The Koopalings appear in both the ''Momotarō'' and ''Shirayuki-hime‎'' adaptations, but both teams are clearly missing some members. The latter [[ContinuitySnarl switches between Iggy and Larry]] at a moment's notice and outright omits Ludwig, while Lemmy is missing from both stories. Wendy, Roy and Morton are the only three that consistently appear throughout the animations.



* AmbiguouslyHuman: In ''Super Mario's Momotarō'', Peach's grandparents are Hammer Brothers. It's unclear if she's HappilyAdopted or a HalfHumanHybrid.

to:

* AdaptationExpansion: The original Momotarō set out to fight the oni terrorizing the land and plunder their stolen riches. No mention was made about him saving a girl on top of that.
* AdaptationalBadass: Snow White never had any action in the original fairy tale, and certainly never tried to get revenge on the queen for her transgressions (at least not until [[Film/SnowWhiteAndTheHuntsman much later]], anyway). On the other hand, Peach follows Mario and the Toads to Bowser's Castle to pay her back for poisoning her, though she's [[FauxActionGirl taken hostage rather quickly]]. For the games themselves, Luigi is shown to be much braver than he was portrayed in other animations at the time, both [[Anime/TheGreatMissionToSavePrincessPeach inland]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow overseas]], and definitely became this compared to his canon CowardlyLion personality.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Para-Beetles, Boomerang Bros and Spikes are enemies in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'', but in the ''Momotarō'' adaptation, they stand in for the dog, monkey and pheasant that are met en route to Onigashima. Likewise, the elderly couple is represented by two Hammer Bros, which are {{Elite Mook}}s from the original ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' onward.
* AdaptationalVillainy: While Bowser usually retains his VillainousCrush towards Peach in the ''Literature/{{Momotaro}}'' and ''Issun-bōshi'' stories and either kidnaps or attempts to kidnap her, the ''Snow White'' adaptation has Bowser as the evil queen, complete with the desire to kill Peach so he can be the FairestOfThemAll. The Koopalings follow suit on two fronts, as not only did [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 their debut game]] set them up as distractions so Bowser can do his thing, but they also stand in for the huntsman in the original fairy tale, who helps Snow White escape from the queen because he can't bring himself to do the deed.
* AdaptationalWeaponSwap: Most versions of Momotarō have the protagonist wield a sword. Mario-tarō has a ''gun'', albeit one that he never actually fires.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: In ''Super Mario's Momotarō'', Peach's grandparents uncle and aunt are Hammer Brothers.Bros. It's unclear if she's HappilyAdopted or a HalfHumanHybrid.



* CanonForeigner:
** The elderly couple in ''Momotarō'' had no children before the title character came along, and said child was also not abducted by the oni.
** In ''Super Mario Shirayuki-hime‎'' Mario is said to have obtained his potion from a goddess he helped out. No adaptation of ''Snow White'' features any mention of gods, nor did the prince ever meet one. Also, the queen never had any minions, and the prince obviously never had a younger brother.
* CompositeCharacter: Mario in ''Super Mario Shirayuki-hime‎'' is supposed to stand in for the prince, but he also assists in Peach/Snow White's escape like the huntsman did.
* CompressedAdaptation: Much like [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs another adaptation of Snow White]], this version skips the bodice and poison comb and goes straight to the poison apple.
* ContinuityNod:
** The father in ''Super Mario's Issun-bōshi'' has a yellow shirt with blue overalls, likely referencing Luigi's outfit in ''Anime/TheGreatMissionToSavePrincessPeach''.
** In ''Super Mario Shirayuki-hime‎'', the Toads that stand in for the seven dwarfs also reference how [[YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle Mario has to rescue Peach's seven retainers before saving the princess herself]]. Considering that Toads were the only friendly characters in the series at the time (barring kings in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3''), this was one heck of a coincidence.
* ContinuitySnarl: ''Super Mario Shirayuki-hime‎'' shows Iggy as one of the four Koopalings out to get Peach, but Larry replaces him during the final battle. However, Iggy is briefly seen zapping Mario with his wand even though Larry was doing that just before, suggesting that they were supposed to be the same Koopa and that one of them was swapped out with the other during production, but the process wasn't finished.
* DavidVersusGoliath: In ''Super Mario's Issun-bōshi'', much like the original tale, the tiny Mario defeats the giant Bowser by repeatedly stabbing his stomach until he gives up.



* LimitedAnimation: The animation has its fluid moments, but most of the movement is choppy.
* NoHuggingNoKissing: ''Super Mario Shirayuki-hime‎'' doesn't feature the famous TrueLovesKiss associated with the story. Instead, Mario gives Peach a potion which wakes her up.

* GenderFlip: In ''Super Mario Shirayuki-hime‎'', Bowser is a queen. In the other two stories, he's a king like usual.

* LimitedAnimation: The animation has its fluid moments, but most of the movement is choppy.
choppy or reused.
* MagicMirror: Par for the course with ''Snow White'', Queen Bowser uses one to admire her "fairness" and gets envious when Peach is declared FairestOfThemAll. It's broken during the climax.

** ''Momotarō'': Mario is the titular peach boy, while Bowser and the Koopalings are the oni that he sets out to fight. Momotarō's animal companions are represented by enemies, those being a Para-Buzzy, Boomerang Bro and Spike, and the elderly couple that raises him are both Hammer Bros. Peach has no equivalent in the original story.
** ''Issun-bōshi'': Mario, once again, is the title character, Peach is the chancellor's daughter, and Bowser is the oni that Issun-bōshi fights and receives the magic hammer from.
** ''Shirayuki-hime‎/Snow White'': Peach is the title character this time, and Bowser stands in for the evil queen. Mario takes the role of the prince, the seven dwarfs are represented by Toads, and four/[[ContinuitySnarl five]] of the Koopalings are a [[AdaptationalVillainy more villainous]] take on the huntsman.
