* ThemeMusicPowerUp: Happens during the FinalBoss battle. While the first two phases have appropiately tense, orchestral-sounding, ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy''-like music, the final phase of the fight has a blood-pumping, fast-paced metal-like track that heavily contrasts with the first theme. [[spoiler:This makes a lot of sense since it plays right after Mario gets empowered by the Goomba Bros.' Star Power, which ables him to defeat the moon's evil spirit.]]

* SequelDifficultySpike: The game doesn't seem like it's much harder like the original, until you notice that it's courses are much more challenging (with some Power Stars that are quite difficult to get), more dangerous hazards and more complex boss fights compared to the original. Furthermore, Mario only has six units of health now, and the Air meter is now separate from the health meter, meaning that Mario can no longer refill it by grabbing coins underwater nor can he re-fill his health meter by jumping in the water.
