3	* AccidentalAesop: Sometimes, you have no other choice but to stand your ground in order to make your point.
4	* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:
5	** Mario. Has he crossed the RageBreakingPoint after rescuing Peach so many times, as implied in Episode 1, or is he just a BitchInSheepsClothing, as implied in Episode 3?
6	** Peach. Is she suffering from StockholmSyndrome, as Mario (and [[{{Fanon}} many fans]]) suspects, just incompetent, or is she letting Bowser kidnap her just to get away from Mario?
7	** Bowser sure seems to be shocked that Mario got so angry at Peach for getting kidnapped, with the end of Episode 1 hinting that he is remorseful for what he did. However, considering this doesn't stop him from kidnapping Peach again in Episode 4, it's up in the air just how remorseful he really is. Some fans believe that the episodes are not shown in chronological order, either.
8	* BadassDecay: In Episode 5, sure, Mario gave out his usual TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and all, and it's not necessarily that he'd gone too soft by apologizing, but this is the first time in the entire series that he is ''genuinely unable to get through to the enemies bothering him''. The Boos aren't really sorry for being little asshats, and the Thwomp outright doesn't care. Mario pretty much just half-assed it this time around, telling the Thwomp to get lost and otherwise just screaming that he hates haunted castles. This is the same Mario who ''screamed at the level designers for almost two minutes straight''.
9	* CrossesTheLineTwice:
10	** No matter what kind of horrible things Mario threatens to do, none of it can ever be taken 100% seriously.
11	** Yoshi [[ImAHumanitarian eating a Toad]]. And Mario being no more than mildly shocked.
12	* FirstInstallmentWins: Episode 1 has many more views and likes than the rest of the series.
13	* FridgeHorror: It's not hard to imagine this constantly-angry Mario one day having a heart attack so big, it kills his whole fuckin' family.
14	* HilariousInHindsight:
15	** Episode 2's premise, really. The idea of Mario yelling at level designers would cause one to think that this episode is a TakeThat to people who make [[NintendoHard bullshit levels]] in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'', but it predates that game by about ''five years''.
16	** Overlapping with HarsherInHindsight in Episode 3, Mario boasts about how [[PoliceAreUseless the cops don't arrest him for abusing Peach]] because he's "too fuckin' big" in the Mushroom Kingdom. Although there is still progress to be made, the idea of being too big to arrest is becoming questionable at best and laughably quaint at worst after the Harvey Weinstein scandal. On the other hand, it also serves as a reminder that there are people out there who, although their ''reputation'' has been irreparably tarnished, [[TruthInTelevision still don't actually go to jail]].
17	** [[FridgeBrilliance If one thinks about it]], Yoshi being uselessly fat in Episode 4 may not actually make much of a difference. In the very next episode, Mario visits a haunted castle, which Yoshi is canonically too afraid of to enter anyway.
18	** Episode 2 depicts Mario as hating the taste of mushrooms nearly 13 years before ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie''.
19	* JerkassWoobie:
20	** Mario, for all the idiocy he has to put up with.
21	** Bowser kidnaps Peach on a regular basis, but by the end of Episode 1, you just want to give him a hug.
22	%%* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The whole series, really, but Episode 1 is the standout example because of how Mario manages to ''rescue Peach by yelling at her''. Even Bowser is unable to bring himself to do anything about him.
23	* {{Squick}}: Yoshi shitting everywhere. Doesn't help that he doesn't seem to be feeling well.
24	* TakeThatScrappy: The whole premise of Episode 1 is Mario calling out [[DamselScrappy Peach]] for being so goddamn helpless all the time.
