!!''Mario'' contains examples of:
* EightiesHair: Simon's perm.
* AmbiguousDisorder: It's never stated what Mario's problem is. Many sources describe him as autistic, but the word is never used in the movie.
* AnachronismStew: Simon's games involve characters from different time periods, such as Hernán Cortés and Charles Martel.
* ForeignCultureFetish: Simon's stories about Arabs aren't just to entertain Mario - he's genuinely obsessed with the culture. He tells Hélène he's attracted to her because of her Arabic appearance.
* FreeRangeChildren: The Leblancs are so busy during the tourist season that no one is around to watch Mario but Simon. The other neighborhood boys are also free to spend hours participating in Simon's games.
* InspiredBy: The Claude Jasmin novel ''La Sablière''.
* LargeHam: Simon, at least in the English dub.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: Simon is always shirking his duties at his mother's grocery store to spend time with Mario or Hélène. When he suddenly turns into a workaholic after Hélène leaves the island, his mother knows something's wrong.
* RaisedCatholic: The Leblancs are Catholic and take the brothers to Mass on Sunday, which doesn't stop Simon from leading the neighborhood kids in a prayer to Allah.
* SecurityBlanket: Mario carries his stuffed coyote everywhere. At one point he accidentally drops it off a boat and endangers his life jumping after it.
* TheSpeechless: Mario grunts, whimpers, and screams at different points in the movie, but the closest he comes to actual speech is croaking out "Ma..." a few times.
