Steve Wiebe actually plays the game ''Donkey Kong'', but he plays it in a ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' cabinet.

*During the scene where {{wp|Henk Rogers}} is proposing a partnership to [[Hiroshi Yamauchi]] between [[Nintendo]] and [[Bullet-Proof Software]] to publish ''[[Tetris]]'' in Japan, Rogers mentions Mario and Luigi as partners, and footage of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' is shown.

*When Rogers is asking to Yamauchi for his residuals in advance, he tells Yamauchi that, just like with Mario being hit by a [[Piranha Plant]], {{wp|Kevin Maxwell}} "pulled a Piranha Plant" on them (referring to Maxwell selling the arcade rights to [[Sega]]). During this scene, a pixelated Rogers is shown being hit by a piece of a {{wp|tetromino}} thrown by a pixelated Maxwell in a ''Super Mario Bros.'' level made of tetrominoes. He then says that he needs "a mushroom to stay alive" and another scene is shown, where the pixelated Rogers hits a [[Brick Block]] containing a tetromino which acts as a [[Super Mushroom]].

*When Rogers tries a prototype of the [[Game Boy]], he plays ''[[Super Mario Land]]''.

*The climax is known for featuring ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' as the final game in the Video Armageddon tournament. As the scene progresses, protagonist Jimmy Woods manages to find the [[Recorder|Magic Flute]] in the [[Grass Land|World 1]] Fortress and wins the competition by warping to [[Giant Land|World 4]] (which would not actually score extra points in the game itself, implying that the competition had a different scoring system). Additionally, the emcee at the Video Armageddon announces several level names incorrectly (for instance, calling level 1-3 "World 2").

*''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' is mentioned and seen being played occasionally at earlier points in the film.
