* DownerEnding: Luigi wins the game for [=SMG3=], proving that [=SMG4=] ain't ballin'. Unfortunately, [=SMG3=] ain't ballin' either; Luigi is. Also, Michael Jordan destroyed the world by crashing the moon into it.

* TheBadGuyWins: Even though he's had a HeelFaceTurn as per the Revelations Arc, [=SMG3=] is still the TokenEvilTeammate and TheRival of [=SMG4=]. Also, thanks to Luigi, [[TeamRocketWins he actually WINS the basketball game]].

* SmugSuper: Surprisingly, ''[[NiceGirl Melony]]'' has picked up some shades of this, if her coy smirk while hovering just out of Meggy's reach is any indication.

Added DiffLines:

* AnimationBump: The basketball game is animated rather fluidly for this show, with the usual ''Super Mario 64'' and ragdoll animation being downplayed throughout most of the episode.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Calvinball}}: By the end of the episode, the players have all but dropped any rules except "get the ball in the hoop".


Added DiffLines:

* NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught: Meggy uses this excuse after shooting the basketball mid-flight with her Splattershot. [[InstantlyProvenWrong A referee suddenly appears out of nowhere to call her out for this]], only for her to immediately shoot him. From that point onward, both teams start cheating so blatantly that [[{{Calvinball}} it practically turns into an entirely different sport]].
* SerialEscalation: The game starts out as a fairly normal (if zany) bout of basketball, but it doesn't take long for both teams to start cheating in increasingly ridiculous ways. This eventually takes their match to the moon, and culminates in a basketball showdown between Fierce Deity Melony and a super-basketball-powered Luigi.

Added DiffLines:

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Once the game moves to the moon, it looks like the awesomeness will be cranked up to eleven in the low-gravity atmosphere. Instead, the low gravity only makes it harder to move around, and the inertia of doing any fancy jumps and tricks causes them to float off helplessly into space.

** Meggy is goaded into playing after her initial disinterest when [=SMG4=] rejects her for being too short.
** [=SMG3=] pisses off Michael Jordan by claiming that ''Film/SpaceJamANewLegacy'' was better than [[Film/SpaceJam the first]].
** Melony, having been TheLoad for most of the game, finally gets serious when her bed is destroyed by the moon dropping, complete with a transformation into her Fierce Diety form.



* WeNeedADistraction: At one point during the game, [=SMG3=] distracts [=SMG4=] with a deregatory tweet to get past him and reach the net.

to:

* GretzkyHasTheBall: Mario, being Mario, has a moment of this at the beginning, claiming he can play tennis, then proceeding to kick the basketball with his foot. Of course, the game itself quickly devolves into something far removed from traditional basketball thanks to RuleOfFunny.
