* DarkerAndEdgier: InUniverse, the description of ''Mario Nights'' makes it sound like an outright horror game where Mario explores pitch-black environments full of terrifying monsters, with one ending having the BigBad Eeyagh taking a bite of Peach's skull. The humor of the story comes from how the narrator tries to make a creepypasta-style description of ''Mario'''s actions while completely ignoring all of the blatantly obvious, actually terrifying elements in the game.
Added DiffLines:
* DracoInLeatherPants: Parodied InUniverse. To go along with the RonTheDeathEater treatment of Mario, all of the villains are portrayed as completely innocent. The enemies were just minding their business before Mario stomped them, Donkey Kong is an abused animal trying to escape while also rescuing Pauline, Bowser is Peach's father and trying to keep her safe, and Eeyagh is likewise only trying to protect Peach (despite the fact that he eats Peach's skull in the bad ending).
