--> '''Shy Guy''': ...Where'd my straw go?

* The Chosen Toads have additional dialogue if you return to them after collecting Big Paint Stars. By the third one, they're [[SarcasmMode totally not jealous]] that Mario gets to move around while they're stuck in a door forever. By the fourth, the first two are occupied trying to hold in a PottyEmergency.

* The saga of the Sunset Express. First, it gets held up prepping for its last voyage before retirement. However, before it departs, you [[CrueltyIsTheOnlyOption have to demolish the tracks at Kiwano Temple.]] This rightfully peeves off the conductor, and in order to progress, you have to find the *twenty-four* Toads of the Blue Rescue Team in order to fix the tracks. The brave Toads literally form new tracks out of their ''bodies'' to let the train pass. Finally, the Sunset Express takes off as triumphant music plays... Only for [[ShaggyDogStory a Thwomp to fall out of nowhere and crush the engine.]] And then the passengers get out ''and push.''

* After beating Bowser, who was possessed by the black paint and thus didn't remember anything while he was possessed, he's confused why Mario and Huey are there. Bowser asks "Do we have a [[VideoGame/MarioKart kart race]] scheduled today?"

"No matter what I do, I'm #2. Now I know what Luigi feels like..."

--> '''Toad:''' I feel like we know each other pretty well, Mario. But not "Watch each other take baths" well, you know?

** After finding one of the Mini Paint Star pieces, a group of Goombas tries to stop Mario picking it up in a scene that portrays them as somewhat intimidating, right before revealing that they are just as small as every other enemy in the level. The gag is repeated with two Hammer Bros. at the end of the level.

--> '''Host Snifit:''' But get even one wrong and it's an instant game over and your save file will be erased forever! Just kidding.

* Justice Toad and his Overdrive Gravity Boots, which harness the power of gravity to make him stay on the ground. Mario also catches a Shy Guy reading his diary, which plays out like a [[AndHisCodenameWasMarySue self-insert fanfiction.]]

* There's also the Plunger, which approaches the enemy slowly while ''{{Sexophone}}'' ''music'' plays, then jumps on them and [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything rapidly pumps up and down]]. How they got THAT [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar past the radar]]...

--> "I love standing in long lines! [[BlackComedyBurst It allows me to contemplate my mortality!]]"\\

'''Huey:''' MAN, I'M STARVING! How about that burger?!

** He also kidnaps Princess Peach. And tapes her to a strand of paper attached to the airship. The best part? Everybody acts like it's totally unexpected, which is a blatant example of Lampshade Hanging by Nintendo.

* After he leaves, it is found that Peach managed to send a letter. Which takes the representation of an 8-bit version of Peach that plays her messages as ''holograms''.

[=*=]Princess busts through a wall and Huey [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere flies away]]*

[=*moment of silence*=]\\

** How does one of the ghosts keep people away from the hotel? [[MundaneUtility Spends all day on the internet review-bombing it so people think it's terrible.]] It's so mundane it's amazing.

* Mario can hit Toads with the paint hammer, coating their heads in paint. This is actually required to solve a puzzle.

** Using the Replica Disco Ball against Lemmy will have the animation play for a bit, then the music cuts with a sad look on Lemmy’s face
---> '''Lemmy''': That Disco Ball Replica was sooooo last decade! Can’t really get into it!

* "[[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot You're telling me we could have avoided this entire game if we just installed a Don't Mix The Paint sign?!]]"
* You can talk to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkrZbrs27Tk all fifty-odd Toads]] of the Red Rescue Squad as they stand in line for the Emerald Circus. Some of them have some crazy things to say.

"No matter what I do, I'm #2. Now I know what Luigi feels like..."
* Having low health in any battle causes the song to switch to a hilariously off key version. This sounds utterly ridiculous in the Wendy O. Koopa battle or pretty much any other boss fight in game. It's like the ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' Rank E music taken up to eleven.
* After beating Bowser, who was possessed by the black paint and thus didn't remember anything while he was possessed, he's confused why Mario and Huey are there. Bowser asks "Do we have a [[VideoGame/MarioKart kart race]] scheduled today?"
* Every time you get a Big Paint Star all the Toads in Prisma Town and any relevant characters from the chapter that Big Paint Star was found at will celebrate by dancing.

* The source of the poison in Plum Park turns out to be Petey Piranha, who has been folded up into a teabag and put into a teapot. And to make it even better, he tries to mock Mario and Huey, before realizing that they can't understand him as the text is only being translated for the player.

* One enemy type is a Shy Guy who sucks color out of the landscape... with a straw. Yes, a regular straw.

* Mario and Peach panicking at the sight of the Shy Guy attacking the Toad is pretty funny.
