Unmarked Spoilers ahead!
- The flying letter leading to World 5 shows Peach being threatened by a Goomba Tower. The one leading to World 6 shows her whacking said tower with a Parasol of Pain (complete with 1-up sound). Mario makes an approving noise and moves on, humming the theme song.
- The World 6 letter also doubles as a Crowning Moment of Awesome for Peach, considering she hasn't fought at all in a main series Mario title before (Except for Super Mario Bros 2 USA, but that doesn't count because it was All Just a Dream).
- When you finally defeat Bowser for good, the scene cuts to a bird's-eye-view of him in a dramatic Slow Motion Fall towards the lava below... Then he gets hit in the head by a slab of rock. TWICE.
- When you beat the first castle in World 8, it looks like you've rescued Peach... And then it turns out to be a cardboard cutout that flops over pathetically. The real humour comes in if you're watching without 3D on, as the resulting Depth Deception makes you think it really is Peach for a second.
- It's even funnier if you spotted it using the binoculars earlier in the level. Even if you're playing with the 3D on, it really does fool you into thinking it's the real Peach.
- Then Bowser flies away representing a certain internet meme cat...
- It's even funnier if you spotted it using the binoculars earlier in the level. Even if you're playing with the 3D on, it really does fool you into thinking it's the real Peach.
- Funny Background Event: As Mario and the Toads are flying home with Peach, Bowser tries to reach them with a Goomba Tower. They can't quite hold him...
- The Propeller box and coin box powerups are pretty funny. You are just a box with legs running around!
Hilarious in Hindsight:[]
- "Permit me to introduce ya to... RACCOOOOOOOOOOOOOON KOOPA!!!!"
- This Brawl in the Family comic was made a little while before the game came out. One of the outfits designed, Tanooki Toad, is actually in the game - -n the ending credits and the Special World, although it does not look exactly the same. Also, one of the other Tanooki forms appears in the final letter...
- Before it became canon, there was already fanart of Peach in a Tanooki dress.
