Adaptational Heroism: Mario.exe himself, surprisingly.Acid-Trip Dimension: ? corrupts the Mushroom Kingdom into one of these in the Luigi Solo Ending, complete with a corrupted version of the normal Super Mario bros theme.Action Girl: It is strongly implied that Peach managed to escape on her own.Wario: Man, all this platforming is making me exercise. The only question is, which is which, or are neither? Also subverted in that both the players and the heroes never actually learn which is which.

A Lighter Shade of Black: Mario.exe and ? aren't equal to each other evil-wise.A God Am I: The loading screen homages Sonic.exe by using the words "I AM GOD." Subverted in the actual game though, where Mario.exe notably lacks a god complex and is perfectly willing to tak with the heroes as relative equals.
