The Dreaded | |
The Power Star Archives (Web Video) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: Buggy, by Episode 7, is shown to absolutely dread Peach after she gains more power than it had expected, being forced to take a temporary backseat until Luigi/Andrew lures her into a trap. He deliberately interrupts Andrew's play session to bring a warning to light for him. | |

Artifact Title | |
The Power Star Archives (Web Video) / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: "Wario Apparition: Corrupted Data", in that the data of the game isn't actually in disarray, and that it's supposed to be a scripted experience. This is subverted later once Peach becomes corrupted, bringing chaos, uncertainty, lots of Sequence Breaking, and overall ruining the intended experience. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Buggy, the main Big Bad of the series, is one, its digital world being utterly deranged at worst. | |

Painting the Medium | |
The Power Star Archives (Web Video) / int_5009999d | comment |
Painting the Medium: Whenever Buggy or Peach is Addressing the Player, the text assets used are the same as seen in Super Mario World. Usually this is in the form of a typical Message Block message, but in cases where they flex their power less subtly, the text can appear anywhere on the screen. | |

Arc Words | |
The Power Star Archives (Web Video) / int_7464705c | comment |
Arc Words: "I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY", commonly uttered by Peach after her corruption. "UP LEFT RIGHT LEFT DOWN DOWN UP RIGHT", a cheat code for unknown purposes that Buggy absolutely despises players using. | |

Horrifying the Horror | |
The Power Star Archives (Web Video) / int_79f9249 | comment |
Horrifying the Horror: Peach becoming a monster more powerful than Buggy is shown to actually scare the AI, who is forced to take a temporary backseat, indirectly assisting Luigi/Andrew in stopping her before it can continue its game. | |

Foreshadowing | |
The Power Star Archives (Web Video) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: During the Checkpoint Quiz of Episode 7, Toadette ends up getting a singular eye during the fourth question, which is revealed to be a mask once the Off the Rails moment comes to an end. This motif returns later in the episode when it's revealed that Buggy was possessing the eyepatch Toad the whole time. | |

Berserk Button | |
The Power Star Archives (Web Video) / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: In Buggy's case, he utterly LOATHES players cheating, and in Episode 7's ending, the AI cites it as the WORST possible offence a player can commit. | |

Grand Theft Me: Buggy's favored method of wreaking havoc is body-snatching. If he's feeling particularly sadistic, he'll return control to the victim before becoming a Chest Burster. | |

From Nobody to Nightmare | |
The Power Star Archives (Web Video) / int_e1acc872 | comment |
From Nobody to Nightmare: It's not clear how malicious Buggy was in the past, but as an AI in a video game he was mostly harmless... until someone cheated at the game. It was during his fit of rage that he accidentally discovered how to digitalize players, and it gave the AI its first taste of actual human interaction. He wanted more, and the rest is history. | |

Hopeless Boss Fight | |
The Power Star Archives (Web Video) / int_fc07d409 | comment |
Hopeless Boss Fight: When fighting "Wario" in Episode 3, Peach's victory falls flat, as she runs out of HP and gets burnt alive. However, her second life proves to be a big misstep Buggy didn't anticipate... Andrew's fight against Adult Buggy doesn't fare much better, as he only escapes the titanic AI's form. It's unclear if Adult Buggy is capable of taking damage, but Andrew is too busy frantically dodging to find out. Not long after this, Andrew tries to bypass Buggy's Wario form, but just can't. Fortunately, Buggy disappears for a bit once the timer reaches 20 seconds. | |

One-Winged Angel: After Peach is out of the action, Buggy assumes its "Adult" form to battle Andrew with, being able to shake the room with punches and massive leaps, produce a rainbow-like laser from its eye, and even summon power-ups on the fly. | |

Brain Uploading | |
The Power Star Archives (Web Video) / int_fc52510 | comment |
Brain Uploading: There are a few times when Buggy does what is dubbed "mental digitalisation" to players, trapping their minds within its game while their bodies die on the outside. Andrew is shown to be a victim of this, as are two players seen in Episodes 4 and 6. | |
