Ghostbusters II
When Janine and Louis are babysitting Oscar, Louis suggests that they could play Super Mario Bros..
Hot Tub Time Machine
When Adam, Nick, Jacob and Lou pan over the stuff from the 80s, a poster for Super Mario Bros. is seen.

The Little Dinosaur Dooly
The name Mario is mentioned in the middle of Michol's song, with Dooly costumed as Mario as being mentioned.
Marley & Me
John Grogan mentions that before he went into college, he had no expectations for himself, having spent his time doing bong hits (inhaling marijuana through a bong) and playing Donkey Kong.
The Master of Disguise
After all the credits it is revealed that Mario (refereed to as the Slapping Dummy Man) has been controlling the "Slapping Dummy".
Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief
When the heroes go to Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, Lotus, a Mario Bros. arcade can be seen among other arcades.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
The band Scott Pilgrim plays in is "Super Bob-omb". Little Neil (later called Neil at end) plays a silver Nintendo DS at the start of the movie and states he enjoys Zelda and Tetris. During the fight with the first evil ex, Scott Pilgrim makes a 64 hit combo, a posible refernce to the Nintendo 64. Katandanayang Twins (the 5th and 6th evil ex as a pair), their name may possibly be a reference to Kat & Ana from the Warioware series.
Son of the Mask
In the car, the man (named Tim avery) was playing Mario Kart Super Circuit as Luigi.
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
On the elevator to the race, Twinkie asks Sean what DK stands for (which actually stands for 'Drift King'), and Sean replies 'Donkey Kong?'
Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo
In the movie, Super Mario Bros. can be seen in the background of the arcade.
The Wizard
In perhaps the most prominent outside sighting of Mario, Super Mario Bros. 3 is featured as the game played in the final event of the Video Armageddon competition at the end of the film. As the scene progresses, protagonist Jimmy Woods (played by Luke Edwards) manages to find the Warp Whistle in the World 1 Fortress and wins the competition by warping to World 4 (which wouldn't actually score extra points in the game itself; the competition probably has a different scoring system). Curiously, the audience become immediately aware of how the game is played, despite the fact that at the time of the film's release, the game would not be available for another three months. Additionally, the emcee at the Video Armageddon announces several level names incorrectly (for instance, calling level 1-3 "World 2").
In addition, Super Mario Bros. 2 is also mentioned and seen being played occasionally at earlier points in the film. Sound effects from Super Mario Bros. can also be heard at a few points as well. Additionally, Mario was prominently featured in the background of the film's poster artwork (which was later reused as the box art for the VHS release).
Wild Child
At the beginning of the Le Cross match, Poppy states "this is on like Donkey Kong".
Megamind
In the scene where Megamind (disguised as "Space Dad") is training the newly created "Tighten", Minion is seen at the top of a construction site throwing flaming barrels down at Tighten, who jumps over them, trying to get to the top. This is a reference to Donkey Kong.
