* AdaptationalHeroism: Huff N. Puff was actually [[VileVillainSaccharineShow one of the vilest minions of Bowser]] whose plans to turn Flower Fields into a "cloud-covered paradise" would've led to ''death'' of the flowers that live there, much to his complete LackOfEmpathy. ''Huff N. Blovas'', on the other hand, is actually a WellIntentionedExtremist who planned to block out the sun (which wouldn't have had strong negative effects on the flowers in this version of story) to stop the drug trade, even if it made the flowers even loopier than before, and "[[HeroAntagonist working for Browser]]" doesn't make him any more evil in this context.
