** [[DiscOneFinalBoss The Evil]] is [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} a skeleton who speaks in comic sans,]] albeit one that is also an evil villain that seems to be made of darkness. On the flip side, he's a parody of ''Mario'' [=RPGs=] where Bowser is usually hijacked by some new villain. [[spoiler:Starting from ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', this wasn't the case, and he hijacked villain title in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', securing two spots as the final Big Bad in a row]].

** Dave is established very early on to have the power to see into any conversation and simply butt in, provided that he has a dreamself out. He doesn't even need to make his presence apparant, but in all of the conversations he's been stated to spy on he does so anyway. Oh, and while this isn't explored as much, he can look into the Mario session through hacking a camera system. He can also enter dreams with ease and his dreamselves can teleport anywhere at any time, and at one point he sort-of ''watches John, Jade, Jane, Jake, and Nepeta sleeping''.

** The thousanth, fifteen hundreth and tenth (that was supposed to be for page 1500), and two-thousanth pages are very odd filler comics. The first is a short story about John and Jade being attacked by clones of themselves arising from the lack of original ideas at a movie store then defeating them by suing the directors for copyright infrindgement, and the second and third are talk shows. Said second special is an interview with the patron trolls (each of the main four asks them one question, to which they all answer), and said third is one with the Revenge Five (Jade takes this one solo and interviews them one-by-one). Oh yes, and the first talk show/second special has some "facts" that include Jane saying that a human male's ejaculation is faster than any land animal. [[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=588&p=1510 Yes, really.]] [[spoiler:Believe it or not, the first one might also be an InnocuouslyImportantEpisode, retroactively foreshadowing the massive number of alter egoes. Particularly the technicolor ones]].

You know I wonder if in the future I\'ll read this Bizarro Entry and wonder if someone else wrote it, because I\'m kind of going outside of my \"usual writing style\" for this.

Added DiffLines:

* BizarroEpisode:
** The Shipping Intermission. It's a completely out-of-nowhere story arc featuring the cast in a new plotline, nothing in the Mario session being hinted at, and overall it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the main story. It doesn't help that the following Intermission Intermission ''does'' and is a direct look on the counterpart's journey to try to safely deliver the Nepeta clones to Alternia to fulfill a StableTimeLoop. Oh, and halfway through this intermission, [[spoiler:the cast starts dying by the buttloads. The ones who survived are nuked. After that, it turns out that the whole thing is a fan fiction... written by Spongebob Squarepants in sunglasses, which only raises more questions]]. It's something of an InnocuouslyImportantEpisode as much later it's revealed that [[spoiler:it also accurately tells of an alternate universe that led to the creation of the Hat Goddess]], but that still doesn't make it not feel like it came out of nowhere.

* ArcFatigue: The Mario Intermission. Intermission Act Two alone has lasted over ''three hundred and fifty pages'', and it's aknowledged by the creator as more of the ''exposition'' for the real story. And there's an intermission within the intermission ''and'' two more acts after that. What makes matters worse is that there was only ''one page'' before it began; so the story basically starts out on it and we're introduced to the Mario aspects of the world first whereas things such as the kids' neighborhood only get passing reffrences. What makes matters even worse was that this intermission was originally intended to be extremely short and simple back when the comic was in its early stages. And, as it stands, most of it up to late into [=IA2=] was actually ''rushed''. Lampshaded [[http://mspfanventures.com/?adv=588&id=860 here]]:

** Act Two Act Two completely blows all of the above away. ''Seven hundred and nine pages'', twice the length of Intermission Act Two and (even if you do split it up by the rather short Act Two Act Two intermissions) the absolute longest individual subact/intermission in the comic. This wouldn't be so notable if it wasn't for how, contrast to the comic's general overly fast and confusing pace, the pacing during this subact is ''very slow'' for the most part.

A little clarification. And again, not adding Tricksters here because that canonizing simply made SJAHJ\'s tricksters seem a lot less shocking. And also I personally think canon ruined the idea by tossing these stupid Cherub themes onto them and redesigning the general template from \"YOU THERE. BOY.\" Guh!


** The Mario world themes are lifted directly from the two ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games released at the time, with the jokes about the lifting being more than there (especially of how there's the notion that World 5 has a "new" theme). Both of the games released after the Mario worlds reveal ''also'' reuse these level themes.
