!!Tropes shared by the four shows:
* AdaptedOut: Mario has never made an appearance in any of the shows, nor has he ever been mentioned outside of occasional titles of his games. Subsequently, Luigi is also absent.

* ''WebAnimation/BowsersKoopalings'' (2017 - Present): The DenserAndWackier entry of the [=FF22=] universe. It features the dysfunctional Koopa family comprising of King Bowser Koopa, his seven adopted children, the Koopalings, and his biological son Bowser Jr.

''WebAnimation/WarsOfFrozenFlames'' (2022 - Present): A [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers historical period drama]] largely based on the UsefulNotes/WarsOfTheRoses, which details the line of succession to the Koopa throne.

''WebAnimation/{{Carl}}'' centers around the life of [[ProtagonistTitle Carl Mitchell]], an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent, his friends [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Boo Who]], [[OnlySaneMan Blooper Squidd]] and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Dry Bones]], his crush, and later-on girlfriend, [[GirlyGirl Grace Grey]] and her three friends [[{{Tomboy}} Talia Richards]], [[TheSmartGirl Roxanne Smith]], and [[DeadpanSnarker Kylie Allenby]], as well as his family, which is composed of [[NiceGirl his mother Linda]], [[HairTriggerTemper his step-father Calvin]], [[{{NEET}} his step-brother Logan]], and his half-sisters [[ThemeTwinNaming Carrie and Sally]]. The show focuses on the lives of Carl and his friends and showcases their school, social and family life. The first episode was uploaded on [=YouTube=] on January 17th of 2017 and the fifth season of the series ended on November 7th of 2022, with [=FreezeFlame22=] having confirmed that there will be a sixth season. On May 28th, 2022, it was announced that the first three seasons of ''Carl'' would be remastered in order to give them a much-needed updated sprite and voice-acting work and [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness to correct some inconsistencies the early episodes have]], these episodes won't contradict anything of what's stated from season 4 onwards and will keep the original episode premises intact, with them receiving some tweaks so they can be suitable for newer audiences.

''WebAnimation/BowsersKoopalings'' is the DenserAndWackier of all the shows. The series focuses on [[BumblingDad King Bowser Koopa II]], the king of the Koopa Kingdom, and his seven adopted kids; [[ButtMonkey Larry]], [[PhoneaholicTeenager Wendy]], [[SmallNameBigEgo Ludwig]], [[CasanovaWannabe Roy]], [[BigEater Morton]], [[DeadpanSnarker Lemmy]], and [[MadScientist Iggy]]. The series showcases a mostly DysfunctionalFamily given the personalities of the Koopalings and Bowser favouring his biological son, [[BrattyHalfPint Prince Bowser Koopa]] (Bowser Jr.), as [[BitchInSheepsClothing he pretends being nice and innocent]] when in reality [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior he's anything but]]. Despite this, the Koopalings all deeply appreciate each other and their father, and the feeling is mutual. The first episode was uploaded on [=YouTube=] on October 4th of 2017 and the show is currently on it's sixth season.


''WebAnimation/DonkeyKongIsland'' focuses on pair of brothers [[NiceGuy Donkey]] and [[ButtMonkey Diddy Kong]], who work at the K. Rool Incorporated warehouse in Kongo Island for their boss, [[TheCynic King Konnor Rool]], who after leaving his job at the Bass Station in the Koopa Kingdom became the manager of the warehouse following the previous manager's death. DK and Diddy work alongside their long-time friends [[TheLoad Lanky Chapman]] and [[GentleGiant Chunky Holcroft]], and there they meet the pair of sisters [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak Dixie]] and [[DumbBlonde Tiny Fitzgerald]], Chunky's cousins. The series showcases the gang doing their daily work in the warehouse, going along with any wacky idea K. Rool has had to earn money, impress his family, or both, and avoiding resident {{Jerkass}} [[TheBully Frank Krusha]], who tries (and always fails) to make the Kongs' life miserable and get them fired. As the series went on, two more characters joined the Kongs' crew, with these being [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Kiddy]], Chunky's brother, and [[TheLadette Katryna]], K. Rool's niece. The first episode was uploaded on [=YouTube=] on August 11th of 2019, and the show is currently on it's second season.

''WebAnimationWarsOfFrozenFlames'' is heavily based off UsefulNotes/WarsOfTheRoses and is divided into four parts. In the 15th century, after a long succession of armed conflicts both in and out of the kingdom lead to an anarchist revolt of peasants, [[{{Manchild}} King John Koopa VI]]'s royal cabinet names [[{{Jerkass}} Lord Sigmund Phoenix]] King's Claw following the death of the previous King's Claw at the hands of anarchist peasants. This however doesn't sit well with [[NoRespectGuy Lord Richard Koopa]] of the House of Sherbet, the king's second cousin once removed and the heir to the throne due to the former being childless, as Sigmund abandoned his troops to die in the middle of a battle and claimed no responsibility for his actions. From there onwards the tensions among the nobility escalate further once other various houses start aiding their respective allied fractions, each having their own reasons and interests, leading the Koopa Kingdom into a long period of battles, slaughter and betrayal. The series serves as a way to explore the franchise's universe and expand upon the established lore. The first episode was uploaded on [=YouTube=] on January 8th of 2022 and the show is currently on it's first part. All of the parts are expected to last four episodes each.

!!''Carl'' contains examples of:
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carl_logo.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[ABoyAndHisX A teenage boy and his pet Piranha Plant]] trying to get through life.]]
* AbusiveParents:
** Dominik Bones has made it clear more than once that he doesn't give a damn about Dry Bones. His son could literally ''die'' and he couldn't care less.
** Nessa Squidd is verbally abusive towards her kids. Given that she has had to raise five kids on her own ever since her husband died however, it may be a result of her been stressed and not because she is nasty by nature.
** Talia's parents are overcontrolling and emotionally abusive of their daughter. Is not that they are intentionally bad people, they are just ''too'' strict for their own good. Following their divorce and [[PutOnABus Mrs. Richards departure to the Marine Kingdom]], Talia's father has turned into a full-blown neglectful and emotionally abusive father who punishes Talia for the smallest things she does. What's worse, he thinks all of this abuse is ''good parenting''.
* AdultsAreUseless: Most of the adults in the show are shown to be either incompetent, abusive, unbearable, or all three combined. The parents of the main characters are particularly notorious in this regard:
** Dry Bones is verbally and emotionally abused by his father on a daily basis. Dry Bones could literally die and his father would likely celebrate it. Dry Bones' BlatantLies and jerkish personality is basically a defense mechanism he developed in order to combat the fact that his father destroyed any self-esteem he once had.
** Blooper is regularly bullied by his older brothers mainly because his mother has basically given up on life and resorts to blow off all the stress she has accumulated by insulting her children.
** Talia's parents pester her all the time and fail to see that the reason why she resents them in the first place is because of the way they have always treated her. Even worse, her father thinks all of this is ''good parenting''.
** Roxanne's parents [[TrophyChild essentially treat her like a trophy]]. They do nothing but brag about her all the time and completely fail to see that their daughter is an emotional wreck as a result of her failed relationships. Also, during the time Roxanne was kidnapped, her mother did nothing but angrily demand that people helped her while also demeaning anyone who tried to contribute or comfort her, whereas her father straight up didn't even ''notice'' that she had been missing for a month. There's also them either forgetting about the existence of their older son Liam, or constantly comparing him to Roxanne, [[FreudianExcuse which is likely the reason why Liam is who he is today]].
** Kylie seems to have a complicated relationship with her parents, especially with her mother. She casually mentions how her mother is often unfaithful to her father and doesn't seem to think very highly of either of them.
** Generally averted with Carl's mother, Grace's father who often look out for their children's well-beings. Carl's step-father Zig-Zags this, as while he definitely tries, he sometimes fails at being a good example for his kids.
** The Toad Town High faculty is this in spades. Coach Johnson, the gym teacher, is a {{Manchild}} who would rather play games with his phone and pursue a childish crush on Principal Staffordshire than teach class, Mr. Morris often complains about having to do his job and how much he hates the students and yet he still wonders why neither none of the other faculty members or the students respect him, Ms. Bishop was always uninterested in doing her job and openly insulted her students when teaching class. [[PutOnABus She eventually quit her job and left the Kingdom altogether]]. Steelix, the previous principal, was never concerned about the students' education and is even implied to have sexually harrased some of them. Staffordshire, the current principal, is far more competent than Steelix and knows how to do her job, but she tends to give detention to the students for very minor things. The school also has a severe bullying problem in the form of Gooper and his GangOfBullies, but that's mainly because Gooper doesn't respect adults or authority figures for that matter.
* ApatheticTeacher:
** Mr. Morris, who always complains about how much he hates his job and his students all the time.
** Ms. Bishop. She always seemed uninterested in her job and openly insulted her students while class was in session.
* BigEater:
** Roberto. His body shape speaks for itself.
** Carl's younger sister, Sally, often comments on being hungry and eating a lot
* BlatantLies: Dry Bones lies about being rich all the time, most likely out of insecurity and to cope with the fact that his living conditions are horrible and that his father hates him.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The girls. Roxanne is blonde, Grace and Kylie are brunette, and Talia is redhead (though it's not her real hair color. She's actually brunette).
* TheBully: Gooper and his gang, but him and Mary-Lynn stand out the most.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn:
** The first few episodes merely present Grace as a simple love interest for Carl instead of having her be the clumsy dork she is in later episodes.
** The first few episodes portray Calvin as a WickedStepfather, being quick to verbally demean Carl, making out with Linda in front of the children, and generally coming off as unpleasant. As the series went on, Calvin's characterization was shifted to that of [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold a step-father who is blunt and strict, but truly cares for the well-being of Carl]]. An early episode also has Calvin singing rap music in the shower, whereas later episodes have Calvin state very often how much he ''hates'' rap music.
** In the first season Logan is shown to be indifferent to Carl at best and a BigBrotherBully at worst. Nowadays, this behaviour of Logan towards Carl would be absolutely unthinkable.
** In his debut episode, Coach Johnson was an imposing no-nonsense war veteran whom many female students had a crush on. Not long after that, he became a {{Manchild}} who barely knows how to do his job, has a childish crush on Principal Staffordshire, and who overall is perceived by everyone as being incredibely pathetic.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome:
** "Carl Sr.", an imagination of Carl's biological father that was prominent during the first two seasons of the series, hasn't made a single appearance ever since "The School Dance (2/2)". This is most likely beause his role would consist in appearing to boost up Carl's confidence and give him advice whenever he needed it, and ever since Carl and Grace started dating Carl is less shy and more confident in himself (to the point where he is not afraid of [[TheBully Gooper]] anymore), thus not needing "Carl Sr." anymore.
** Steve, Grace's [[VideoGame/{{Pokemon}} Pidgey]] pet that appeared during "Pidgey Problems", hasn't made an appearance ever since it's debut episode.
** Humphrey Onix, the principal of Toad Town Grammar, has not made an appearance in the series since "Toad Town Grammar". This could be due to both Principal Steelix being replaced by Principal Staffordshire, rendering their rivaly useless, and Toads not being a major resident species in the Koopa Kingdom (they used to be at first, but that was because the show originally took place in The Mushroom Kingdom before it was [[{{Retcon}} Retconed]] to take place in the Koopa Kingdom).
* DisappearedDad:
** Carl's biological father left his mother and him before he was born.
** Blooper's father was eaten alive by a shark back when he was a child.
* DreadfulMusician:
** Logan's trying to make a name for himself in the rap industry. That said, his music is said to be terrible by other characters.
** Whatever you do, '''don't''' let Mary-Lynn sing.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
** In what is a CallBack to his counterpart's role in ''The Koopa Kids'', Carl would often [[ImagineSpot imagine himself dying in gruesome ways]] during the first couple of episodes. This gag was soon dropped from the series altogether.
** Gooper's gang rarely told Flaig to shut up during the first few episodes. In addition, Mary-Lynn was portrayed as being part of the gang rather than just tagging along with them only because she is dating Gooper.
** Kylie is just a background character during the first few episodes of Season 1, and didn't get a talking role until episode 4. It certainly feels strange to see Grace, Talia, and Roxanne go to a party ''without'' Kylie in the very second episode of season the series.
** Many of the Koopa Kingdom's ([[{{Retcon}} The Mushroom Kingdom back then]]) local wildlife was composed of... VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}. This is very prominent in episodes like "Pidgey Problems" and "Too Much Water", which feature Pokemons as part of the main plot. Later episodes use wildlife belonging to the ''Super Mario'' franchise.
** In "The Hike", Calvin states that after Princess Peach became the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, she legally allowed Koopas to live in the kingdom. Good, except it was later established that the both ''Carl'' and ''Bowser's Koopalings'' take place in the ''Koopa'' Kingdom with ''Bowser'' as the ruler, and that Toads were exilled from the land rougly ''one thousand years ago''. Not only that, but when Peach herself appeared in a FlashbackEpisode of ''Bowser's Koopalings'', she states that she and the Toads she lives with were exiled from Toad Town and had to settle in Dinosaur Land.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Mary-Lynn's sisters are named Sheri-Lynn and Amy-Lynn. She also has an aunt whose name is Terri-Lynn.
* FourGirlEnsemble:
** TheDitz: Grace
** DeadpanSnarker: Talia
** ReallyGetsAround: Kylie
** TheSmartGirl: Roxanne
* FourManBand:
** DeadpanSnarker: Carl
** TheSmartGuy: Blooper
** CasanovaWannabe: Boo
** ButtMonkey: Dry Bones
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Jim Flaig is this to Gooper's gang. "shut up, Flaig!" is heard quite often.
* GossipyHens: Janie and Oscar are Toad Town High's main source of gossip.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Mary-Lynn gets angry whenever she finds out that Gooper has been cheating on her... despite the fact that she has cheated on him on numerous occasions. The same also applies to Gooper.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
** Calvin may seem a little too stern and uncaring sometimes, but he genuinely cares for his family and considers Carl as much of a son as his biological kids.
** Sure, Dry Bones tells a lot of BlatantLies and may seem obnoxious at times, but it would be wrong to say that he does not care about his friends.
* LikeIsLikeAComma:
** CampGay and ValleyGirl siblings Oscar and Janie speak like this.
** Leon, the main antagonist of the "Summer of '19" duology, always incorporates "like" in his SurferDude talk.
* LocalHangout: Many of the characters in Carl go the local Goomburger
* LovableAlphaBitch: Kylie is a snarky popular girl, but she isn't the nasty type.
* LovableJock: Tucker is a very decent guy, once you manage to get past his short temper that is.
* {{NEET}}: Logan dropped out of school and doesn't have a job. To be fair, he wants to pursue a career as a rapper, but has had little to no success regarding that.
--> '''Logan''': I'm an online rapper, and my song's got eleven downloads.
* MissingMom:
** Dry Bones' mother died before the events of the show.
** Grace's mother left her, her father, and her sister to join a feminist cult when Grace was still a child.
** Logan's biological mother ran off with a scuba instructor when he was still a baby.
** Talia's mother left the Koopa Kingdom and went to live to the Marine Kingdom after getting a divorce.
* NonIndicativeName: Despite the name, there are little to no Toads living in Toad Town.
* ProtagonistTitle: Who do you think the main character is?
* PutOnABus:
** Coach Ronson, the former PE Teacher, [[ItMakesSenseInContext was taken away by the gorvement as a result of being mistaken by an alien]] at the end of "Detention". He was later replaced by Coach Johnson.
** Ricky Steelix, the Toad Town High principal, was fired from the school in "The New Principal" and replaced by Sydney Staffordshire, with the reason being heavily implied to be [[{{Ephebophile}} sexually harrassing some of the students]]. [[TheBusCameBack He made a return]] in "Summer of '19 (2/2)", revealing that he had gone to Ocean Side in order to get away from the scandals, and has since become a janitor at Toad Town High.
** In "Happy Anniversary", Miss Bishop, Carl's Homeroom teacher, was stated to have been offered a job at a school somehwere in the Kaktus Kingdom and moved there permanently as a result. Carl even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] how she will never come back.
** Talia's mother was stated to have divorced Talia's father, packed her bags, and moved to the Marine Kingdom in "The Thanksgiving Dinner".
** After breaking up with Kylie in "The Valentine's Bowl", Emily tells her that she will be transferring schools just so she doesn't have to see her again. At the end of the episode, [[VisualPun Emily is seen getting into a bus]], leaving Toad Town for good.
* SirSwearsALot: Someone should wash Dry Bones' granfather's mouth...
* SocialServicesDoesNotExist: It's anyone's guess as to why Dominik Bones hasn't been arrested for his constant neglect and emotional abuse of Dry Bones yet. In a more notorious regard, Carl even told Calvin about Dry Bones' situation but he was completely unfazed by it (Granted, Carl didn't give Calvin the details).
* StacysMom: Quite a lot of male teenagers have noticed how attractive Linda Mitchell is. Boo in particular is ''very'' fond of her.
* SuckySchool: Toad Town High. The most well-known faculty members to the audience are either [[ApatheticTeacher Apathetic]] or [[SadisticTeacher Sadistic]], it has a notorious problem of bullying as seen by Gooper and his gang, the previous principal cared more about looking better than the rival school than the well-being of students, and the new principal, while definitely more competent and concerned with the education of the students, has established some exaggerated rules and [[DisproportionateRetribution gives the students detention for the tiniest things]]. It seems to be doing well academically speaking ever since Staffordshire became the principal, and [[SadisticTeacher Coach Ronson]] and [[ApatheticTeacher Miss Bishop]] have left the school too.
* TeacherParentRomance: Grace's father, Felix, is dating Toad Town High's Principal, Sydney Staffordshire.
* ThoseTwoGuys:
** Mark and Harry
** Ruby and Rain
** Oscar and Janie
** Carrie and Sally
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Grace's bubbly and dorky personality contrasts with Talia's relaxed and relatively serious personality.

!!''Bowser's Koopalings'' contains examples of:
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bk_logo.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:A big... interesting family![[labelnote:note]]Clockwise from top left: [[OnlySaneMan Kamek Kazi]], [[TheFunnyGuy Lemmy Koopa]], [[TheDitz Morton Koopa]], [[DumbMuscle Boom Boom]], [[TheSmartGuy Iggy Koopa]], [[CasanovaWannabe Roy Koopa]], [[FriendlyGhost King Boo]], [[TheKlutz Travis Hawke]], [[PhoneaholicTeenager Wendy O. Koopa]], [[{{Keet}} Larry Koopa]], [[ButtMonkey Ludwig Von Koopa]], [[EnfantTerrible Prince Bowser Koopa]], [[BumblingDad King Bowser Koopa II]].[[/labelnote]]]]


* AdoptedIntoRoyalty: All of the Koopalings were adopted by King Bowser Koopa II.
* BrainlessBeauty: Ally is considered very attractive, but she's not very smart.
* BrattyHalfPint: Bowser Jr. is an insufferable brat.
* BumblingDad: Bowser may not be the perfect father, but he tries his best.
* CatSmile: Larry, Roy, and Ludwig invoke this.
* ColorCodedCharacters:
** Ludwig - Deep Blue
** Morton - Black
** Iggy - Lime Green
** Wendy - Pink
** Lemmy - Orange
** Roy - Purple
** Larry - Light Blue
* ContinuityReboot: As mentioned at the beginning of the page, ''Bowser's Koopalings'' is a reboot of Freeze's original series ''The Koopa Kids'', as he was no longer proud of the work he had done with the series and wanted to rewrite many of the characters and plotlines from scratch.
* DumbMuscle: Boom Boom.
* DysfunctionalFamily: The Koopalings can get in alot of arguments with one another with Bowser being their alcoholic father who often favors Bowser Jr. over them. That said, Bowser at least ''tries'' his best and the Koopalings seem to love him regardless.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
** Bowser seemed to be much more akin to an AbusiveDad in the early seasons who always favoured Bowser Jr. over the Koopalings. Over the years he became a BumblingDad that, while still favouring Bowser Jr., cares about the Koopalings just as much and is not prone to severly punishing them anymore. In fact, there are times in which he has told Bowser Jr. off for his obnoxious behaviour.
** Roy and Iggy are shown to be very close during the first two seasons. While they aren't exactly enemies in the more recent seasons, it would be a stretch to say that Roy and Iggy are close friends.
** Bowser tries to take over the Mushroom Kingdom in early episodes. Then the show's universe went through a {{Retcon}} and Bowser is now the ruler of the ''Koopa'' Kingdom.
** Early episodes were driven by familial-related conflicts and followed a slice-of-life narrative at best. Even when an episode becomes more outlandish, its synopsis was rather common-place, such as a [[FreakyFridayFlip body swap]]. In later episodes, the Koopalings find themselves against threats and in locations outside the Dark Valley, with one episode being centered around Lemmy and Morton going into outer space.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Bowser's kids are either responsible or foolish.
** Wendy, Iggy, and Ludwig are shown to actually be responsible and mature.
** Larry, Roy, Lemmy and Morton are often seen as being immature and foolish.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Larry and Wendy have a very similar relationship to this, despite being adopted siblings.
* MissingMom: The Koopalings' adoptive mother, Princess Peach, is nowhere to be seen. [[spoiler: "The Heist" reveals that Peach went missing in an airship crash when the Koopalings were around six years old and was assumed to have died as a result]].
* NiceMeanAndInBetween:
** The Larry, Wendy, and Ludwig trio follow this trope. Larry is the nice one, as he's shown to be the nicest Koopaling, doesn't tend to make fun of people, and loves to have fun, Ludwig is the mean one, as he's shown to be selfish, often looks down upon his siblings and likes to think he's better than all of them, and even makes fun of them at times, and Wendy is in-between as she sometimes tends to mock others and call people names at times, but still has a good heart and she's also the more sane Koopaling.
** Wendy's friends: Camilla is a [[SpoiledBrat spoiled]] RichBitch who only uses people for her own benefit, Ally is a very nice person, if a bit of an [[BrainlessBeauty airhead]], while Lauren is somehwere in the middle.
** Bowser's group of friends. King Boo is the nice one, being mellow and rarely ever losing his cool, King Dedede is the mean, as he tends to be insufferable and greedy, and King K. Rool is the in-between, being a cynic with an attitude, but also having a HiddenHeartOfGold.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Like all the Koopalings sans Larry, there are also a few characters named after musicians: Camilla, Lauren, and Ally are named after 3 members from Music/FifthHarmony (Music/CamilaCabello, Lauren Jauregui, and Ally Brooke respectively). Travis is named after Music/TravisScott, and Eddie is named after [[Music/VanHalen Eddie Van Halen]]. Also, the royal advisors of the Marine Kingdom in "Summer Vacation", Ozuna and Anuel, are named after Reggaeton singers Ozuna and Anuel AA.
* ReplacementScrappy: A. Byzmal is seen as one to K. Rool InUniverse, as K. Rool left the Koopa Kingdom in order to run the K. Rool Incorporated warehouse in Kongo Island and A. Byzmal took over his role as the manager of the Bass Station in Dark Valley. Many people openly tell A. Byzmal that they hate him and that K. Rool was way better than him.
* RichBitch: Camilla.
* RunningGag:
--> '''Wendy''': #[=WhateverIsHappeningAtTheMoment=]
** Whomp King's lecture about how the Whomps like him all build people's houses, castles, and pave their roads whenever they make him angry.
** If a random bystander is going to get hurt or killed for the sake of {{Slapstick}}, it's always going to be a random Goomba.
** [[ThoseTwoGirls Lucy and Courtney]] will always refer to Roy using the names of male ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' characters. This is because both the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' and ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' franchises [[OneSteveLimit have a character named "Roy"]].
* SiblingTeam: The Koopalings are always seen working together in many episodes.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Out of the Koopalings (A.K.A the main characters), Wendy is the only girl. Heck, she's the only girl in the whole family.
* SpoiledBrat:
** Bowser Jr. If only he was just a brat and not a complete sociopath on top of it...
** Camilla. Growing up in an upper class family with parents who'd always let everything she do slide caused her to believe that everyone else is beneath her and that the world revolves around her.
* StraightGay: Lemmy was revealed to be a homosexual in "The Love Potion". A few episodes later he began a relationship with Lauren's brother Eddie.
* TeensAreShort: Lemmy. Fittingly, Bowser Jr's degrading nickname for Lemmy is "midget".
* ThoseTwoGuys
** Big Bob-Omb and Whomp King.
** Lucy and Courtney.
* TheUnfavourite: All of the Koopalings in the early seasons. While Bowser still favours Bowser Jr. a bit more over the Koopalings in more recent episodes, he cares about the Koopalings just as much as him.
* VerbalTic: Ludwig and Bowser Jr. use the word "bloody" in many of their sentences.
* VillainProtagonist: Bowser and the Koopalings, usually seen as the villains in the ''Mario'' Franchise, are viewed as the protagonists. Justified given that the [=FreezeFlame22=] Universe has nothing to do with the ''Mario'' canon other than the characters, and Bowser is the ruler of the ''Koopa'' Kingdom and not an evil character.

----
!!''Donkey Kong Island'' contains examples of:
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dki_logo.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Just another day at work.[[labelnote:note]]Clockwise from top left: [[ThePigPen Gary Klump]], [[GentleGiant Chunky Holcroft]], [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain King Konnor Rool]], [[DumbBlonde Tiny Fitzgerald]], [[SmallNameBigEgo Frank Krusha]], [[TheLadette Katryna Rool]], [[LazyBum Lanky Chapman]], [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak Dixie Fitzgerald]], [[NiceGuy Donkey Kong III]], [[BornUnlucky Diddy Kong]], [[ThePrankster Kiddy Holcroft]][[/labelnote]]]].

* BadBoss: K. Rool started off as this, often attributing his employess achievments on him, but the characterization has since then being dropped and nowdays he is just cynic, but does have [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold a hidden soft spot for his employes]].
* {{Balloonacy}}: The transitions involve the main characters flying upwards by holding a balloon. [[ButtMonkey K. Rool is not so lucky as his balloon pops up in mid-air]].
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Tiny, Dixie and Katryna have this dynamic. Tiny is the Beauty (being a DumbBlonde who constantly flirts with other men, but that is still a good person at heart) Dixie is the Brains (being the smartest and most rational of the trio, which compliments her DeadpanSnarker personality), and Katryna is the Brawn (being significantly less feminine than Tiny and Dixie, not afraid of what she says or what others may think of her).
* BigOMG: K. Rool's CatchPhrase for whenever something bad happens.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Deconstructed with K. Rool's niece Katryna. She seems like a spoiled teenage girl at first, but that's actually because she hasn't known any better during her whole life and her father always prevented her from making any friends. The instant she makes friends with Dixie, Tiny and the rest however, she is shown to be a much different person.
* BornUnlucky: The Universe itself seems to love making Diddy suffer. Chunky and K. Rool don't have it any better.
* ButtMonkey:
** Diddy. His friends pick on him for having a crush on Dixie, every time he tries to impress her or ask her out something prevents him from doing so, and his parents [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents constantly embarrass him in front of others]]. In the early episodes, K. Rool and his subordinates bullied him ''badly''.
** K. Rool. He is usually the victim of AmusingInjuries, his family doesn't seem to think highly of him, with his father favouring his brother Kennedy over him and Kennedy [[CainAndAbel being an asshole to him]], and getting dragged off to whatever shenanigans his employees or his family find themselves into.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: K. Rool was originally a BadBoss who didn't care about his employees and would even join Krusha in making their lifes miserable. Not long after that K. Rool was changed into a cynical person as a result of many things in his life always going badly for him, but who has a hidden soft spot for those who have earned it. He even finds Krusha to be a more annoying than DK and his friends.
* DitzyGenius: Tiny shows shades of this, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness especially when trouble arises]]. While she is generally not very bright, she has shown to be more than capable of handling complicated situations on her own.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: K. Rool is more of a BadBoss in the first few episodes of Season 1. In later episodes he is just cynical of the world around him, but genuinely appreciates his employees.
* FatalFlaw: DK's fatal flaw is that he is ''too'' positive about others for his own good and trusts people too easily, which leads to things like him constantly forgiving Lanky for leeching off his home and hospitality, and getting stuck in an abusive relationship with [[BitchInSheepsClothing Candy]].
* GentleGiant: Chunky may be big, but he's probably the nicest one of the gang, if a bit paranoid about everything.
* HateSink: Candy. She psychologically abuses DK while they are dating, she turns him against his friends, almost makes him lose his job, takes advantage of others and talks behind their backs, [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals treats her pet blittys horribly]] and [[KarmaHoudini doesn't receive any sort of punishment for actions]] other than DK breaking up with her. The most disturbing part of it is that it is a scaringly accurate depiction of a toxic relationship.
* HourglassPlot: Diddy started out having a crush on Dixie and had varying, but ultimately futile degrees of success. He finally meets up with a girl named Kitty and starts dating her. Everything is resolved, right? Well, turns out she also has feelings for Diddy, but she was afraid of ruining their friendship. She came to regret her decision, but she does not want to selfishly reck Diddy's relationship with Kitty.
* LocalHangout: The characters all hang out at Funky's bar after work.
* TheLoad: Lanky, who is very lazy and barely does what he is told to do at work.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Most of the character names (Tiny, Lanky, Chunky, Kiddy etc.) are actually just nicknames.
* TheParanoiac: You'd be hard pressed to find something Chunky is not scared of.
* ThePigPen: Klump's hygiene is more than questionable.
* ThePrankster: Kiddy loves playing pranks and is a huge troublemaker. The more Kiddy dislikes a person, the nastier the prank he pulls on them.
* ReallyGetsAround:
** Tiny seems to have quite the dating history.
** Kelly Rool, K. Rool's sister, has cheated on her husband at least ''fifty'' times!
* RunningGag:
** The first scene of every episode (the one before the intro) is completely unrelated to the rest of the episode and is always PlayedForLaughs.
** There is always a scene of K.Rool in his office reacting to something in his computer [[OncePerEpisode every once in an episode]].
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: Cranky Kong is never happy about anything and does nothing but complain about others and insult them.
* SuperGullible: DK is too quick to trust others without taking a moment to think about it first.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: After all, Kiddy didn't get sent to a juvenile hall for anything.
* TheUnfavourite: One of the reasons why K. Rool is so bitter about everything around him is that his father always favoured his brother Kennedy over him ever since he was young.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Until Katryna made her debut, Dixie and Tiny were the only prominent female characters.

!!''Wars of Frozen Flames'' contains examples of:
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/woff_logo_5.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"Some wars happen because different factions want different things. However, in this conflict, years of war were caused by two factions who wanted the same thing. The Koopa Throne. This decades-long conflict of battles, slaughter and betrayal, became known in the Koopa Kingdom... [[TitleDrop as the Wars of Frozen Flames]]"]]

* AnyoneCanDie: Unlike in ''Carl'', ''Bowser's Koopalings'' or ''Donkey Kong Island'', character deaths are way more prominent in this series, and the main characters and antagonists are not excluded from this. In fact, due to the series taking place in the past, ''every single character will die at some point''.
* AChildShallLeadThem:
** Richard Koopa II became king following the unexpected death of his father Edrick Koopa IV, being only nine years old at the time. Unfortunately, [[EnfantTerrible Richard was also a cruel and vicious child]] [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour who took much pleasure in the suffering of others]], including [[WouldHitAGirl women]] and [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals animals]], and is stated to have only gotten worse as he grew older and gained more power. His cruelty led to his own downfall however, as he was overthrown and imprisoned by his far more popular cousin Prince John, later crowned King John Koopa IV, leading to his death by starvation in a prison cell as a result of John IV forgetting about having Richard fed.
** John Koopa VI became king of the Koopa ''and'' Bohnenkraut Kingdoms when he was ''nine months old'' following the unexpected death of his father John Koopa V. This trope is still present during John VI's majority of age due to him suffering from Bohnenkraut Madness, a mental illness that induces insanity and unhinged behaviour on the victim, and in John's case, [[{{Manchild}} it manifests as him having the mental age of a little child]].
* FeudingFamilies:
** The House of Kayenne and the House of Sherbet, as well as their respective supporters, are this due to their feud for the Koopa throne, a product of years of crisis and both political and economical instability. Their feud is directly based on the rivalries between the Houses of Lancaster and York.
** The House of Python and the House of Blackfoot are at odds with each other due to the Pythons allegedly stealing land belonging to the Blackfoots in the past. Their feud is based on the actual feud between the Nevilles and the Percys.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Three major cases, two of which overlap with MatureYoungerSibling and ChildishOlderSibling.
** Robert and Halbert, the two eldest sons of the House of Sherbet. Both are incredibly talented when it comes to fighting, with Robert being the more experienced of the two, but Halbert is the more sensible one, as whereas Roberts tends to put his responsibilities aside, Halbert is much more invested in them, usually helping his father Richard in political matters. It's implied that this has caused Robert to develop an inferiority complex regarding Halbert, as Robert might be Richard's heir, but he feels like it should be Halbert instead of him.
** Lord Berwick has two daughters. The older daughter, Lily, is very immature and irresponsible, and is shown to [[ReallyGetsAround Really Get Around]] despite Berwick disapproving of said conduct. Meanwhile the younger daughter, Rose, is much more calm and responsible, embodying the traits of a ProperLady as Berwick expects.
** The two surviving Solberg brothers Rodrick and Theodrick. Thedorick [[DumbMuscle thinks with his muscles rather than his brain]] most of the time whereas Rodrick tends to stop and think things through before taking any action that could potentially lead to unnecessary violence.
* ForegoneConclusion: If you know how the actual War of the Roses went down, you'd easily be able to guess how the story will progress. That said, there are some differences between the series and the actual historical event.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Queen Cynder is pretty terrifying when she is angry...
* GreyAndGrayMorality: While some are better people than others, no character in the series is truly "good" or "evil". In the end, the conflict of the Wars of Frozen Flames boils down to two factions having clashing ideals and the interests of the nobility lead them to support the faction that benefits them the most. The narrator at the start of every episode makes it perfectly clear: this is a period of battles, slaughter, and betrayal.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen Cynder]] and [[ProneToTears King John VI]]. She is cruel, ambitious and not afraid to get her hands dirty with blood, while he is an overly sensitive {{Manchild}} who is terrified of the very thought of battle.
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Almost every single character is based on a historical figure from the actual Wars of the Roses. For example, Lord Richard is based on Richard of York, Lord Berwick is based on Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick, and Lady Jane Phoenix is based on Lady Margaret Beaufort.
* TheLateMiddleAges: As expected from a series heavily based on UsefulNotes/WarsOfTheRoses, the series starts in the late 15th century, in the 1470s to be more precise, during the reign of King John Koopa VI, who is based on the actual Henry VI of England.
* TheMentallyDisturbed: John VI inherited a mental illness from his mother's side of the family: Bohnenkraut Madness, which causes anyone who suffers from it to act completely insane. In John VI's case, the illness causes him to [[{{Manchild}} behave like a child, a toddler even]], which is PlayedForLaughs most of the time (though [[PlayedForDrama it's treated more seriously]] when it comes to how it affects [[IJustWantToBeLoved Cynder]] or the realm as a whole).
* OneSteveLimit: Two or more characters having the same name is far more common in ''Wars of Frozen Flames'' that it is in any of the other series. Major examples include up to ''four'' Richards (King Richard Koopa II, Lord Richard Koopa and his father Prince Richard, and Richard's own son, [[OnlyKnownByHisNickname who is called Rickon for the sake of differentiation]]), Lady Jane Phoenix having a cousin who is also named Jane, and most of the Blackfoots being named "Symon".
* ProfessionalButtkisser: Lord Horace Sylver. It's clear that he is LoyalToThePosition rather than to a specific faction, always being willing to, in the other nobles' words, be a "dicksucker" for whoever holds the most power at the moment.
* ThePlague: At the start of the series, many people in the continent are suffering from The Black Plague, which as the name suggests, is based on TheBlackDeath. The two most notable examples include King Edrick Koopa IV, who became infected with the plague and [[ShortLivedLeadership died thirty days after being crowned king]], and [[CoolOldGuy Lord Raymund Kassimeer]], who was sent to the Frosted Kingdom and caught the plague there, leaving him bed-ridden for three years.
* ShortLivedLeadership: As stated in the prologue, King Edrick Koopa IV, who had succeeded his father Robert Koopa III, died shortly after being crowned king as a result of becoming infected with the Black Plague, reigning for only thirty days. This resulted in his sole surviving son succeeding him as [[TheSociopath King Richard Koopa II]] at the mere age of nine years old.
* TheWrongfulHeirToTheThrone: King John Koopa VI is heir to the throne by the right of his father King John Koopa V, but is completely unfit to rule due to a mental illness. Unsurprisingly, he is easily manipulated by his corrupt advisors, leading to the throne becoming heavily indebted.

''Carl'' centers around the life of [[ProtagonistTitle Carl Mitchell]], an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent, his friends [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Boo Who]], [[OnlySaneMan Blooper Squidd]] and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Dry Bones]], his crush, and later-on girlfriend, [[GirlyGirl Grace Grey]] and her three friends [[{{Tomboy}} Talia Richards]], [[TheSmartGirl Roxanne Smith]], and [[DeadpanSnarker Kylie Allenby]], as well as his family, which is composed of [[NiceGirl his mother Linda]], [[HairTriggerTemper his step-father Calvin]], [[{{NEET}} his step-brother Logan]], and his half-sisters [[ThemeTwinNaming Carrie and Sally]]. The show focuses on the lives of Carl and his friends and showcases their school, social and family life. The first episode was uploaded on [=YouTube=] on January 17th of 2017 and the fifth season of the series ended on November 7th of 2022, with [=FreezeFlame22=] having confirmed that there will be a sixth season. On May 28th, 2022, it was announced that the first three seasons of ''Carl'' would be remastered in order to give them a much-needed updated sprite and voice-acting work and [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness to correct some inconsistencies the early episodes have]], these episodes won't contradict anything of what's stated from season 4 onwards and will keep the original episode premises intact, with them receiving some tweaks so they can be suitable for newer audiences.

''Bowser's Koopalings'' is the DenserAndWackier of all the shows. The series focuses on [[BumblingDad King Bowser Koopa II]], the king of the Koopa Kingdom, and his seven adopted kids; [[ButtMonkey Larry]], [[PhoneaholicTeenager Wendy]], [[SmallNameBigEgo Ludwig]], [[CasanovaWannabe Roy]], [[BigEater Morton]], [[DeadpanSnarker Lemmy]], and [[MadScientist Iggy]]. The series showcases a mostly DysfunctionalFamily given the personalities of the Koopalings and Bowser favouring his biological son, [[BrattyHalfPint Prince Bowser Koopa]] (Bowser Jr.), as [[BitchInSheepsClothing he pretends being nice and innocent]] when in reality [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior he's anything but]]. Despite this, the Koopalings all deeply appreciate each other and their father, and the feeling is mutual. The first episode was uploaded on [=YouTube=] on October 4th of 2017 and the show is currently on it's sixth season.


''Donkey Kong Island'' focuses on pair of brothers [[NiceGuy Donkey]] and [[ButtMonkey Diddy Kong]], who work at the K. Rool Incorporated warehouse in Kongo Island for their boss, [[TheCynic King Konnor Rool]], who after leaving his job at the Bass Station in the Koopa Kingdom became the manager of the warehouse following the previous manager's death. DK and Diddy work alongside their long-time friends [[TheLoad Lanky Chapman]] and [[GentleGiant Chunky Holcroft]], and there they meet the pair of sisters [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak Dixie]] and [[DumbBlonde Tiny Fitzgerald]], Chunky's cousins. The series showcases the gang doing their daily work in the warehouse, going along with any wacky idea K. Rool has had to earn money, impress his family, or both, and avoiding resident {{Jerkass}} [[TheBully Frank Krusha]], who tries (and always fails) to make the Kongs' life miserable and get them fired. As the series went on, two more characters joined the Kongs' crew, with these being [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Kiddy]], Chunky's brother, and [[TheLadette Katryna]], K. Rool's niece. The first episode was uploaded on [=YouTube=] on August 11th of 2019, and the show is currently on it's second season.

''Wars of Frozen Flames'' is heavily based off UsefulNotes/WarsOfTheRoses and is divided into four parts. In the 15th century, after a long succession of armed conflicts both in and out of the kingdom lead to an anarchist revolt of peasants, [[{{Manchild}} King John Koopa VI]]'s royal cabinet names [[{{Jerkass}} Lord Sigmund Phoenix]] King's Claw following the death of the previous King's Claw at the hands of anarchist peasants. This however doesn't sit well with [[NoRespectGuy Lord Richard Koopa]] of the House of Sherbet, the king's second cousin once removed and the heir to the throne due to the former being childless, as Sigmund abandoned his troops to die in the middle of a battle and claimed no responsibility for his actions. From there onwards the tensions among the nobility escalate further once other various houses start aiding their respective allied fractions, each having their own reasons and interests, leading the Koopa Kingdom into a long period of battles, slaughter and betrayal. The series serves as a way to explore the franchise's universe and expand upon the established lore. The first episode was uploaded on [=YouTube=] on January 8th of 2022 and the show is currently on it's first part. All of the parts are expected to last four episodes each.

* {{Crossover}}: With ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'', [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon]], and Franchise/{{Kirby}}.

* AdaptedOut: Mario has never made an appearance in any of the shows, nor has he ever been mentioned.

* VillainProtagonist: Each of ''[=FreezeFlame22=]'' shows place focus on the bad guys and villains of Nintendo franchises, including Bowser and his Koopa Troop or King K. Rool and his Kremling Krew, with the supporting cast being almost entirely comprised of enemies and antagonists from Nintendo games, such as Koopa Troopas, Goombas, Piranha Plants, King Dedede, Chef Kawasaki, etc. The exception to this are the Kongs in ''Donkey Kong Island'', but even DK has his moments of being a rouge in the ''Mario'' series.

** The House of Kayenne and the House of Sherbet, as well as their respective supporters, are this due to their feud for the Koopa throne, a product of years of crisis and both political and economical instability.
** The House of Python and the House of Blackfoot are at odds with each other due to the Pythons allegedly stealing land belonging to the Blackfoots in the past.

* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: [[LadyMacbeth Queen Cynder]] and [[TheWrongfulHeirToTheThrone King John VI]]. She is cruel, ambitious and not afraid to get her hands dirty with blood, while he is an overly sensitive {{Manchild}} who is terrified of the very thought of battle.

It all started with a show called ''The Koopa Kids'', which took inspiration from [[WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers [=SMG4=]]]. Even though ''The Koopa Kids'' had a decent fanbase, [=FreezeFlame22=] grew to dislike his product and decided to cancel the series in 2016. After a brief hiatus, he created a new series known as ''[[ProtagonistTitle Carl]]'', which starred the titular AscendedExtra from ''The Koopa Kids''. Meanwhile, he also created ''Bowser's Koopalings'', originally ''Bowser's Children'', to serve as the ContinuityReboot of ''The Koopa Kids''. In 2019, ''Donkey Kong Island'' was created and is the first installment in the ''[=FreezeFlame22=]'' universe to not take place in the Koopa Kingdom. As of 2022, ''[=FreezeFlame22=]'' released a mini-series titled ''Wars of Frozen Flames'', which goes into detail about the lore of the franchise's universe.

!!Tropes shared by the three shows:

** Ms. Bishop. She always seemed unninterested in her job and openly insulted her students while class was in session.

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The girls. Roxanne is blonde, Grace and Kylie are brunette, and Talia is redhead (actually brunette. She dyed her hair red).

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Bowser, King Dedede, and King K. Rool used to have similar personalities and roles, with each of them being drinking buddies and all three running a major faction in the Koopa Kingdom. Later on, King K. Rool stop appearing in ''Carl'' and ''Bowser's Koopalings'' to becoming a far more developed and prominent character in ''Donkey Kong Island'' while Dedede was pushed to mostly just appearing in scenes related to Goomburger.

''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/FreezeFlame22 FreezeFlame22]]'' (joined July 26, 2013) is a British [=YouTuber=] and the creator of four [[AnimatedSitcom Sprite-Animated Sitcoms]] based on Creator/{{Nintendo}}.

It all started with a show called ''The Koopa Kids'', which took inspiration from WebVideo/SMG4. Even though ''The Koopa Kids'' had a decent fanbase, Freeze grew to dislike his product and decided to cancel the series in 2016. After a brief hiatus, he created a new series known ''[[ProtagonistTitle Carl]]'', which starred the titular AscendedExtra from ''The Koopa Kids''. Meanwhile, he also created ''Bowser's Koopalings'', originally ''Bowser's Children'' to serve as the ContinuityReboot of ''The Koopa Kids''.

''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/FreezeFlame22 FreezeFlame22]]'' (Joined July 26, 2013) is a British [=YouTuber=] who creates a genre of web-series based around Nintendo characters styled in a form of a sitcom.

All three of Freeze's series features ''[[WorldOfSnark plenty of]]'' [[DeadpanSnarker Deadpan Snarkers]]. Alongside the snide remarks, each show has a supply of ReferenceOverdosed, though that aspect has been gradually toned down as the series progressed.

While all shows are entirely animated using sprite work, the cast is far from unexpressive. Every Nintendo character are given AdaptationExpansion and plently of HiddenDepths. These guys technically originated from a prototype series called ''The Koopa Kids''. While this short-lived series was fairly popular, Freeze wasn't satisfied with the product. So, he rebooted the series, and gave many of the side characters their own personalities and spin-offs, most notably, the AscendedExtra, ''[[ProtagonistTitle Carl]]''. ''Bowser's Koopalings'', originally ''Bowser's Children'' is the ContinuityReboot of ''The Koopa Kids'', ''Donkey Kong Island'' is the newest of the three shows, and ''Wars of Frozen Flames'' is a four-part mini-series that goes into detail about the lore of the franchise's universe.

''Bowser's Koopalings'' is the DenserAndWackier of all the shows. The series focuses on [[BumblingDad King Bowser Koopa II]], the king of the Koopa Kingdom, and his seven adopted kids; [[ButtMonkey Larry]], [[PhoneaholicTeenager Wendy]], [[SmallNameBigEgo Ludwig]], [[CasanovaWannabe Roy]], [[BigEater Morton]], [[DeadpanSnarker Lemmy]], and [[OnlySaneMan Iggy]]. The series showcases a mostly DysfunctionalFamily given the personalities of the Koopalings and Bowser favouring his biological son, [[BrattyHalfPint Bowser Koopa III]] (Bowser Jr.), as [[BitchInSheepsClothing he pretends being nice and innocent]] when in reality [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior he's anything but]]. Despite this, the Koopalings all deeply appreciate each other and their father, and the feeling is mutual. The first episode was uploaded on [=YouTube=] on October 4th of 2017 and the show is currently on it's sixth season.


''Donkey Kong Island'' focuses on pair of brothers [[NiceGuy Donkey]] and [[ButtMonkey Diddy Kong]], who work at the K. Rool Incorporated warehouse in Kongo Island for their boss, [[TheCynic King Konnor Rool]], who after leaving his job at the Bass Station in the Koopa Kingdom became the manager of the warehouse following the previous manager's death. DK and Diddy work alongside their long-time friends [[TheLoad Lanky Chapman]] and [[GentleGiant Chunky Holcroft]], and there they meet the pair of sisters [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak Dixie]] and [[DumbBlonde Tiny Fitzgerald]], Chunky's cousins. The series showcases the gang doing their daily work in the warehouse, going along with any wacky idea K. Rool has had to earn money, impress his family, or both, and avoiding resident {{Jerkass}} [[SmallNameBigEgo Frank Krusha]], who tries (and always fails) to make the Kongs' life miserable and get them fired. As the series went on, two more characters joined the Kongs' crew, with these being [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Kiddy]], Chunky's brother, and [[TheLadette Katryna]], K. Rool's niece. The first episode was uploaded on [=YouTube=] on August 11th of 2019, and the show is currently on it's second season.

* VillainProtagonist: Bowser and the Koopalings, usually seen as the villains in the ''Mario'' Franchise, are viewed as the protagonists. Justified given that the [=FeezeFlame22=] Universe has nothing to do with the ''Mario'' canon other than the characters, and Bowser is the ruler of the ''Koopa'' Kingdom and not an evil character.

** An early episode has Calvin singing rap music in the shower. Later episodes have Calvin state very often how much he ''hates'' rap music.

** Carl and Grace didn't become a couple until the Season 2 finale. This can confuse modern viewers as Carl and Grace's relationship is heavily emphazised in more recent seasons.
** Gooper's gang had two more unnamed members, but they stopped showing up. A later episode reveals that they had been arrested.
** Kylie is just a background character during the first few episodes of Season 1, and didn't get a talking role until episode 4. It certantly feels strange to see Grace, Talia, and Roxanne go to a party ''without'' Kylie in the very second episode of season the series.

** Early episodes had slice-of-life plots and focuses on exclusively familial conflicts. Even when an episode becomes more outlandish, its synopsis was rather common-place, such as a [[FreakyFridayFlip body swap]]. In later episodes, the Koopalings find themselves against threats and in locations outside the Dark Valley, with one episode being centered around Lemmy and Morton going into space.
