* AspectRatioSwitch: When Meggy pokes fun at [=SMG3's=] Tsundere nature regarding [=SMG4=], the Episode goes back to it's usual full screen view before things get serious again and the black bars come back.
* BackportedDevelopment: Clips from the episodes which feature [=SMG4=] working on his perfect video use his new updated model, although it wasn't introduced until after these older videos were released.
* BigBad: PlayedWith for [=SMG4=]. While he is the one that caused the events of the movie to happen with overwork and stress causing him to lose his sanity and alienating his friends in the process, it's only after the events of the previous video where he is easily taken advantage of by the Clippy-esque TV to buy the demonic keyboard and let it possess him while hinting that something else was causing the events of the film on purpose.
* BittersweetEnding: [=SMG4=] is saved from his corruption and learns not to obsess over his videos, but Peach's castle is destroyed by the demon. Not to mention that there's a giant, demonic maw where Peach's castle once stood, and whatever entity was responsible for selling the cursed keyboard to [=SMG4=] and starting the whole mess is presumably still at large. Also, Peach herself is still trapped inside, though this is PlayedForLaughs.

** When first seeing what the castle has become in the wake of [=SMG4's=] SanitySlippage, Tari suspects the return of [=SMG0=]. [=SMG3=] shoots it down, saying that it isn't meme energy.
** On seeing the paintings replaced with various hate comments from [=SMG4's=] thoughts, [=SMG3=] recalls the [=YouTube=] Arc, saying that even having [=SMG4's=] channel for a week was the most stressful thing in his life.
* DigitalAbomination: The Clippy-esque TV that sells the demonic keyboard is implied to be one since it appears right after [=SMG4=] got his wifi working again saying it will make all his videos perfect and once again after [=SMG4=] finishes his perfect video.
* DopeSlap: When Boopkins is grabbed by the demon's tentacles, everyone screams except for Bob, who remarks "Do a flip". Meggy responds by slapping him upside the head.

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: As Mario, Meggy and [=SMG3=] traverse the castle, they find the paintings replaced with various hateful comments such as "YOU WILL NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH" and "NOBODY LIKES YOUR VIDEOS". [=SMG3=] is quick to identify these as [=SMG4's=] inner thoughts, stating that he felt the same pressures during the events of the [=YouTube=] Arc.

* LaughingMad: [=SMG4's=] reaction when his internet goes out during the events of "[=Mar10=] Day", though this wasn't shown in the actual episode.

* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: After more than ten years of the videos taking place in and around Peach's Castle, which would always come back no matter how many times it was destroyed, the castle is finally destroyed in a way that renders it unable to simply come back at the start of the next video (the gaping maw of an EldritchAbomination now sitting where it stood before). [=SMG4=], Mario, and the others accept that the castle will not be coming back this time, and set out to build a newer, better castle.

'''[=SMG3=]:''' ''(choked up)'' Because I felt the same way... do you know what it's like? To live with the kind of expectations he has? Well I had his channel for just a week and it was the most stressful thing in my life. Having millions of eyes on you... being worried you'll make one mistake and lose everything... always having to try and be perfect... it can make you go... kinda crazy.
* OffIntoTheDistanceEnding: The final shot of the movie is Mario and the others setting off to build a new castle...or it would be the last shot of the movie if it didn't occur to Meggy right then that [[SomethingWeForgot they completely forgot about Peach]].

** Reconstruction: [=SMG3=], [=SMG4's=] former sworn enemy, is the one who's able to reach through to the possessed [=SMG4=] by emphasizing with his struggles and letting him know that no matter the pressures, his friends, including [=SMG3=] himself, will always be there for him. Thus, in a way, Boopkins still ended up being right all along; even if friendship wouldn't and ultimately couldn't control the fate of the castle by that point, it was still what ultimately saved the lives of [=SMG3=] and [=SMG4=] (which is obviously the most important thing) in the end).
* PutOnABusToHell: Likely Peach's fate, given that she's still trapped in her castle after it was sunken.
* {{Retcon}}: The new redesigns of [=SMG4=], [=SMG3=], and Meggy are used in the opening flashbacks to [=SMG4=] working on his perfect video, when the designs were originally revealed in the announcement video uploaded once his stream was over.

** The reason for Melony's absence; she's fast asleep in her apartment while everything goes down at Peach's Castle, so she doesn't hear Bob phoning her for help.
** Also revealed to be the case for Peach; she somehow slept through the demonic consumption of her castle, and as a result, she ends up getting trapped inside when the castle sinks underground.

* SwappedRoles: When an obstacle can only be passed by reacting to internet memes, for one it's Mario that's acing the challenge while Meggy's the one left in fish-eyed cluelessness.

-->'''[=SMG3=]:''' What?! No! I don't care about him! I only feel like this because I'm cosmically linked to the idiot!
* UncertainDoom: Peach slept through her castle's consumption by [=SMG4's=] keyboard. Considering she has limited food and water, the castle cannot be recovered this time around [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and the demonic mass surrounding her room]], signs show she might be dead before long.

* WhamEpisode: Peach's Castle is destroyed, and the nature of its destruction means that it is unable to come back like in any other episode.

** Reconstruction: [=SMG3=], [=SMG4's=] former sworn enemy, is the one who's able to reach through to the possessed [=SMG4=] by emphasizing with his struggles and letting him know that no matter the pressures, his friends, including [=SMG3=] himself, will always be there for him.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: The TV-headed salesman only appears twice in the whole episode (each appearance only being a few seconds long), but kicks off the conflict by selling [=SMG4=] the demonic keyboard.

* RoleReversal: When an obstacle can only be passed by reacting to internet memes, for one it's Mario that's acing the challenge while Meggy's the one left in fish-eyed cluelessness.

* ThePowerOfFriendship: DeconReconSwitch
** Deconstruction: Boopkins attempts to invoke the power of friendship to make the demonic entity go away and stop Swag blowing up the castle, but his surface level blather doesn't accomplish anything. In the end, he's forced to accept that they need to sacrifice the castle with their friends still inside to save the rest of the Kingdom.

Ever since the events of "[=SMG4=]… Are You Ok?", [=SMG4=] has been toiling away at making the "perfect video"...to a worrying degree. There's something strange going on with him, and his friends are determined to rescue him from his insanity...but are they prepared to learn what's ''really'' going on?

* EldritchAbomination: [=SMG3=] is briefly turned into a rather terrifying amalgamation of himself with [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/nes-godzilla-creepypasta/images/8/80/I_AM_FOREVER.png/revision/latest?cb=20210402170034 Red]] from Literature/NESGodzillaCreepypasta and Mario and Meggy are forced to BeatTheCurseOutOfHim.

** The identity of the one responsible for selling [=SMG4=] the demonic keyboard and causing the whole mess goes unrevealed, at least for the time being.
