The All-Cup Tour is a special tour that allows you to play all 16 courses at once in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! You start out at Luigi Circuit and work your way around the tour to the last course, Rainbow Road.
Amiibo is Nintendo's NFC figurine and card program that works across multiple games. Amiibo work natively with the Nintendo Wii U via the NFC reader in the Wii U GamePad and the New Nintendo 3DS. In 2015, Nintendo will release an accessory for the original Nintendo 3DS that lets players use Amiibo on it as well.
Animal antagonists feature in works where the player character is a human or reasonably humanoid (such as an alien) and the primary villain or an important rival is an animal. They may have some human-like tendencies such as speech or wearing clothes, but ultimately are non-anthropomorphic.
Bombshell Koopa are Koopa Troopas that explode after being stomped. They only appeared in Super Mario Land.
Palette-swapping are sometimes used to denote the different strengths and abilities of your adversaries.
Dry Bones are skeletal Koopa Troopas that have been reanimated through magical means. Their ability to reform after being knocked apart can make them quite troublesome.
When a game lets players grab enemies and throw them as projectiles. Commonly found in platformers, but also sometimes found in over-the-top 3rd person action games.
Henchmen are the loyal grunts caught in between the player and the main antagonist. Without them every game would be nothing more than a boss battle.
A very common collection of enemies in the Super Mario Bros. franchise. Some famous Koopas include: Lakitu, Hammer Bro., Bowser Jr., and the King of Koopas himself, Bowser!!
The wings on its back allows it to hop or fly. They are not as common as normal Koopa Troopas, but they pose a bigger threat.
The Koopa Troop is Bowser's army. It consists of several different members, most of whom are the koopa species.
The game is almost over and there are 5 turns left. The Mario Party franchise used this concept to give out the current scores and a new twist is added. This appears in all games (except Mario Party Advance and Mario Party-e).
A Palette Swap is when two or more characters share the same style sprite or character model with only minor color or cosmetic changes. Although visually similar, palette swap characters may have very different moves and personalities.
Veteran cannon fodder that have made appearances in more than one game, often with a small cosmetic change each time.
Reptiles known for their hard shells.
