Trivia

• These videos were a crossover with YouTube News.
• The videos were a parody of the 2008 Presidential Campaign.
• The Election Night Video was a parody of a scene from Monty Python's Life of Brian.
• The Political Ads were inspired by MADtv.
• The Anti-Wario mentions that Wario claims to be a veteran of the Lylay War, a reference to Star Fox 64, known in Europe as Lylat Wars.
• The Anti-Mario ad was taken down by YouTube, but the Anti-Wario ad is still up. There are currently no plans to re-upload the Anti-Mario ad.
• Koopa the Quick from Super Mario 64 is mentioned by Mario, who accuses Wario of accepting bribes from the former during the debate.
• The "large marble table" where the debates take place is later used as Merlin's table.

Goofs

• As the Mushroom Kingdom is monarchy, Princess Peach acts as head of state. As such, Mario and Wario would have actually been running for the position of head of government (i.e. Prime Minister).
