  • Acting for Two: Matthew Mercer does the voices of both Kirby and Meta Knight. He also plays Ganondorf.
    • Kinda lampshaded in the final episode, where Kirby briefly disguises himself as Meta Knight.
  • Creator Breakdown: Literally. After hearing how the series finale was unexpectedly scheduled a week earlier than he had planned (as noted below), producer Matthew Mercer ended up bedridden with a pinched nerve from how intensely he'd been working to meet the premature deadline.
  • Executive Meddling: The last episode was due to come out December 18. Allegedly, this was at the insistence of The Escapist. The people behind TWBB had intended to release it on Christmas Day.
    • And then that release date got delayed because of Matthew Mercer's literal Creator Breakdown, noted above.
  • The Other Darrin: Falco is actually played by a different actor in Episode 8 with his original voice dubbed over.
  • Promoted Fanboy: Matthew Mercer got to do voice work for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, reprising his role as Chrom in his cameo for Robin's Final Smash. And then Chrom graduated to playable character for Ultimate. And then, almost a decade and a half later, he would go on voice Ganondorf himself in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
    • Kyle Hebert, who plays Wario in the series, subsequently reprised his role as Ryu in Wii U/3DS and Ultimate.
  • Reality Subtext: The kiss between Zelda and Ganondorf is a bit funny when you know that the actors who play them were dating in real life.
  • Schedule Slip: Arguably justified due to financial troubles.
    • And the fact that Matt Mercer almost killed himself working on the finale.
