David Versus Goliath: Taken a literal turn when Mario flings one of the gems they earned onto a giant (who was fused from two of their enemies). The giant gets knocked down and turns into a dwarf; hilarity then ensues.

Pac Man Fever: Basically how the film's producers saw the medium of video games, especially considering the popularity of the Nintendo Entertainment System (sold in the Philippines in its original Japanese-market Family Computer incarnation) and fighting games such as Street Fighter II at the time.

Stock Sound Effects
 Magic Kombat / int_48dfb7e4
comment
Stock Sound Effects: With 8- and 16-bit sound effects used in spades, and a smattering of copyright infringement while we're at it, as said sound effects are directly lifted from Nintendo games and those of other developers as if the film's sound designer ran a Famicom (or more likely a clone thereof), connected it to a tape recorder and called it a day.

Invisible to Normals: Rio, who can be seen by Mario, Luigi and Diana but not by everyone else, due to her being a video game character; she can however will herself into existence in front of others when the need arises though.

Shout-Out: The film is basically the Filipinos' love letter to video games popular with the youths of the era, albeit without the blessing of the video game studios whose works were incorporated in it.

Expy: Considering how this directly lifts scenarios and stuff out of popular video games of the era, such thinly-veiled imitations are inevitable, most especially the characters of Mario and Luigi.
