* AlternateContinuity: [[spoiler: The ending of the pilot reveals that the Theo in this show is a separate entity from the Theo in ''Meta Runner''.]]

** The Crab King doing the Crab Rave after Theo gets knocked out of the air. The music even changes ever so slightly to where it almost resembles the actual song.

** Given the game's genre and [[Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers the creators' past work]], there are a handful of ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' references throughout. In particular, the music playing when the Crab King falls asleep [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong sounding similar to "Piranha Plant Lullaby"]] and the defeated Crab King vanishing and releasing the Fruit Medallion much like that how Bowser would release a Power Star after being defeated.

''Ultra Jump Mania!'' is an animated web series pilot produced by Creator/GlitchProductions. A SpinOff of ''WebAnimation/MetaRunner'', ''Ultra Jump Mania'' is set in the titular in-universe platforming game, following the adventures of said game's protagonist, Theo, aka Coconut Boy, alongside his mentor, the Elder Tomato.

* RidiculouslyDifficultRoute: The Gauntlet of Trials. It's so difficult that Theo [[spoiler: instead takes the convenience store route. Nobody knows why it's even there in the first place.]]

* AdaptationalDumbass: Theo here is much more lazy and easy-going than in ''Meta Runner''. [[spoiler: Ultimately justified at the end of the pilot when Theo encounters his ''Meta Runner'' counterpart, as being in MD-5’s cartridge, he wouldn’t have the experience as the other Theo from the cartridge used for [=TASCorp=] speedruns, what with MD-5 likely being too occupied with plotting against [=TASCorp=] to play with their cartridge at all.]]

* WhamShot: [[spoiler: At the end of the episode, Theo sees Tari and another version of himself. The two promptly glitch out, and the Theo the character that the episode's centered on, just continues with his day.]]
* FlatWhat: The Elder Tomato has this reaction when Theo asks him to recite Simpleflip Island's backstory to King Crab, but decides to go with it.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: The Theo that we see in ''Meta Runner'' carries around an Elder Tomato who only recited snippets of his hour long prophesy. Here, he has more flexible dialogue, calling his Theo out for his laziness and reacting appropriately to situations.

* LazyBum: Theo, despite being the TheChosenOne, would rather sit around at his hut all day watching TV. He only goes out to defeat the Crab King after the Elder Tomato threatens to cancel his cable subscription.

The Theo we've been following turns out to be the one Tari and her Theo - the one in ''Meta Runner'' - encountered in MD-5's ''Ultra Jump Mania'' cartridge at the beginning of that episode, before the game ejected them [[NeverTheSelvesShallMeet when it couldn't figure out what to do with two Theos.]]]]

* TakeAThirdOption: At the bridge gate, Theo has the option of waiting for the Bot Boy to finish his puzzle or solving problems in a math book Theo outright states he can't read. Theo opts instead to hit the Bot Boy with his coconut.
