 * Enguarde (pictured) gets his name from the French phrase used in swordfencing: "En garde"("on guard", "put your guard up", ie: "be ready"), due presumably to his long, pointed, sword-like nose.
 * Madame Clairvoya from Luigi's Mansion is the only ghost in the whole game (not restricted to portrait ghosts) to willingly let herself be sucked up by the Poltergust 3000 without putting much of a fight at all, though like all portrait ghosts she drops a Poison Mushroom after taking a certain amount of damage.
 * The Star Spirits, Goomboss, and Koopatrols are the only characters to originate in a Paper Mario game and appear again in 3D. Star Spirits appeared in Mario Party 5, Goomboss appeared in Super Mario 64 DS and Mario Kart DS , and Koopatrols appeared in Mario Pinball Land.
 * Prior to his appearance in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Diddy Kong had only four fingers on each hand. Now, he, like most other characters, has five.
