Added Unwinnable by Mistake trope, which applies to one of the levels.
Added DiffLines:
* UnwinnableByMistake: In the level "Switch Action Zone", there is a section where you have to hit a P-switch, and then go in a pipe and hit Question Mark blocks which turn into coins when hit due to said P-switch. If the P-switch expires before you hit enough blocks to get out, you become softlocked.

The game was first released in 2009 with the Editor and default episode “The Invasion”, which served as a showcase of the editor’s capabilities and a fully-fleshed out Mario adventure in its own right. It would continue to receive official updates from Redigit up until 1.3.0 towards the very end of 2010. At one point in 2010 The Invasion was replaced with three new default episodes: “The Invasion 2.0”, an updated version of The Invasion that showcased the vastly ramped up new features of the Editor, “The Princess Cliche”, and “The Great Empire”. Development officially ceased in 2011, though the community around the game remained active.

* TheGoomba: From four games!
* [[GuestFighter Guest Player]]: Link from ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series. His sprites and moveset are cribbed from VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink.
* GuideDangIt: Many of the secret exits. A lot of them require you to have a specific powerup and keep it for the whole level so you can reach the exit with it.
* InfinityMinusOneSword: The Hammer Suit. Unlike in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'', you can now throw hammers in two different arcs--high and low. Throwing them at a low trajectory is the default attack, making it easier to aim it than in its origin game. And ''like'' in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', it retains the same [[GameBreaker gamebreaking]] lethality, being able to take out virtually every enemy in the game with relative ease.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: [[spoiler:The Lakitu's Shoe, which provides unlimited flight]]. You need all seven Stars to access it, so that requires completing everything at least up to Dire Dire Rocks, one of the last levels in the game.
* KaizoTrap: "A Short Level" lives up to its name, but it's not ''quite'' as short as it first appears. [[spoiler:If you take the [=SMB3=]-style exit like you've been using for the whole game, you merrily walk into a pit and die. You have to continue past the exit sign, leap over said pit, go down a pipe, and continue on to a SMW-style exit (read: goal post) to actually complete the level. By the way, the springboard in front of said goal post is a red herring--the goal post actually is the end, and perfectly safe to go through.]]
* NintendoHard: Oh yes, is it ever!
* NoFairCheating: Using any of the cheat codes will disable the ability to save. [[spoiler:Untill you type in "redigitiscool" on the map screen, at which point you can save again.]]
* NonIndicativeName: The "Pwnhammer" levels, which are ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'' themed. One Toad even {{lampshade|Hanging}}s it.
** Also the dungeons, which at first somewhat appropriately evoke DoomyDoomsOfDoom (the Dungeon of Pain and the Dungeon of Agony) while later being given increasingly over-the-top and silly names (the Dungeon of Strange Happenings and the Dungeon of Inappropriate Phrases), while simultaneously getting [[NintendoHard much harder]].
* NostalgiaLevel: There are a ''lot'' of them. Most of them are part reproduction and part new content. Of note:
** Super Easy Road and Flying Raccoon Zone both have clear references to the first stage of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3''.
** Subcon Nightmare Land is a lot like the first stage of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2''.
** Go Go Goomba has references to ''Super Mario Bros.'' 1-1.
** The Dungeon of Inappropriate Phrases has a mazelike structure similar to that of some castles in ''Super Mario Bros.''
** One level seems self-aware of this, called Super Nostalgia World. It contains ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' content.
** The Retroville level shamelessly dishes out the nostalgia with its [[{{Retraux}} 8-bit-styled sprites]].
* PowerUpMount: Yoshi, per usual. He even comes in [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience seven different colors]], each with its own unique abilities.
** Also the Kuribo's Shoe and its derivatives.
** And the Clown Car, which is used in only one level.
* PunnyName: [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} The Water is Not a Lie]]. A [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] in that in the ''original'' invasion, water physics did not yet exist, so the level was called "The Water is a Lie"; the current name is actually based on this.
* {{Retraux}}: You'll see a lot of this. Especially in the Retroville level, mentioned above.
* TheSpiny: From two games! Interestingly, only the SMW version comes in an egg form, because SMB3 Lakitu throws green chasing Spiny eggs (the SMW Lakitu can be set to throw '''anything''', [[spoiler:including itself, if you look hard enough]]).
* SuperStar: {{Averted|Trope}}. Redigit was well known for being vehemently against adding this during the game's development, since he thought it would be misused, as in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioFlash'''s levels. Instead, the Stars act as collectibles, as in ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''.
* VideogameSettings:
** GreenHillZone: [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 Mushroom Plains]] and [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Koopa Kingdom]], as well as [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld Dino Island]] to an extent.
** UndergroundLevel: [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2 Subcon Underground]].
** DeathMountain: Dino Island.
** ShiftingSandLand: Hurtful Hotlands.
** TheLostWoods: The Rawest Forest. One of the levels there is even ''called'' the Lost Woods (although it's an intentional reference to ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'').
** PalmtreePanic[=/=]UnderTheSea: Wet Water Zone.
** LethalLavaLand: The Lava Hole.
* WarpWhistle: The Star Palace acts as this, in addition to providing free power-ups, since through it you can access any world in which you've found the Star Warp.

* [[GuestFighter Guest Player]]: Link from ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series. His sprites and moveset are cribbed from VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink.
* GuideDangIt: Many of the secret exits. A lot of them require you to have a specific powerup and keep it for the whole level so you can reach the exit with it.
* InfinityMinusOneSword: The Hammer Suit. Unlike in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'', you can now throw hammers in two different arcs--high and low. Throwing them at a low trajectory is the default attack, making it easier to aim it than in its origin game. And ''like'' in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', it retains the same [[GameBreaker gamebreaking]] lethality, being able to take out virtually every enemy in the game with relative ease.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: [[spoiler:The Lakitu's Shoe, which provides unlimited flight]]. You need all seven Stars to access it, so that requires completing everything at least up to Dire Dire Rocks, one of the last levels in the game.
* KaizoTrap: "A Short Level" lives up to its name, but it's not ''quite'' as short as it first appears. [[spoiler:If you take the [=SMB3=]-style exit like you've been using for the whole game, you merrily walk into a pit and die. You have to continue past the exit sign, leap over said pit, go down a pipe, and continue on to a SMW-style exit (read: goal post) to actually complete the level. By the way, the springboard in front of said goal post is a red herring--the goal post actually is the end, and perfectly safe to go through.]]
* NintendoHard: Oh yes, is it ever!
* NoFairCheating: Using any of the cheat codes will disable the ability to save. [[spoiler:Untill you type in "redigitiscool" on the map screen, at which point you can save again.]]
* NonIndicativeName: The "Pwnhammer" levels, which are ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'' themed. One Toad even {{lampshade|Hanging}}s it.
** Also the dungeons, which at first somewhat appropriately evoke DoomyDoomsOfDoom (the Dungeon of Pain and the Dungeon of Agony) while later being given increasingly over-the-top and silly names (the Dungeon of Strange Happenings and the Dungeon of Inappropriate Phrases), while simultaneously getting [[NintendoHard much harder]].
* NostalgiaLevel: There are a ''lot'' of them. Most of them are part reproduction and part new content. Of note:
** Super Easy Road and Flying Raccoon Zone both have clear references to the first stage of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3''.
** Subcon Nightmare Land is a lot like the first stage of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2''.
** Go Go Goomba has references to ''Super Mario Bros.'' 1-1.
** The Dungeon of Inappropriate Phrases has a mazelike structure similar to that of some castles in ''Super Mario Bros.''
** One level seems self-aware of this, called Super Nostalgia World. It contains ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' content.
** The Retroville level shamelessly dishes out the nostalgia with its [[{{Retraux}} 8-bit-styled sprites]].
* PowerUpMount: Yoshi, per usual. He even comes in [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience seven different colors]], each with its own unique abilities.
** Also the Kuribo's Shoe and its derivatives.
** And the Clown Car, which is used in only one level.
* PunnyName: [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} The Water is Not a Lie]]. A [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] in that in the ''original'' invasion, water physics did not yet exist, so the level was called "The Water is a Lie"; the current name is actually based on this.
* {{Retraux}}: You'll see a lot of this. Especially in the Retroville level, mentioned above.
* TheSpiny: From two games! Interestingly, only the SMW version comes in an egg form, because SMB3 Lakitu throws green chasing Spiny eggs (the SMW Lakitu can be set to throw '''anything''', [[spoiler:including itself, if you look hard enough]]).
* SuperStar: {{Averted|Trope}}. Redigit was well known for being vehemently against adding this during the game's development, since he thought it would be misused, as in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioFlash'''s levels. Instead, the Stars act as collectibles, as in ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''.
* VideogameSettings:
** GreenHillZone: [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 Mushroom Plains]] and [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Koopa Kingdom]], as well as [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld Dino Island]] to an extent.
** UndergroundLevel: [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2 Subcon Underground]].
** DeathMountain: Dino Island.
** ShiftingSandLand: Hurtful Hotlands.
** TheLostWoods: The Rawest Forest. One of the levels there is even ''called'' the Lost Woods (although it's an intentional reference to ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'').
** PalmtreePanic[=/=]UnderTheSea: Wet Water Zone.
** LethalLavaLand: The Lava Hole.
* WarpWhistle: The Star Palace acts as this, in addition to providing free power-ups, since through it you can access any world in which you've found the Star Warp.
