References to the Super Mario franchise

Super Mario Bros. 4K (1-1)

One of the various demos players can explore is "Super Mario Bros. 4K (1-1)", found in the Nintendo Switch 2 Console Area. In the demo, players progress through World 1-1 of the original Super Mario Bros. game, only each on-screen pixel occupies one actual pixel of the 4K screen. The stage in total occupies 3,365 out of the total 3,840 pixels that span the screen horizontally. The level has five achievements to complete:

• "Clear the stage"
• "Enter a pipe and clear the stage"
• "Clear the stage as Fire Mario"
• "Fully explore and clear the stage"
• "Get a 1-Up Mushroom"

HD Rumble 2 Sound

A demo found in the Joy-Con 2 (R) Area, titled "HD Rumble 2 Sound", demonstrates the Joy-Con 2's HD Rumble 2 feature being used to play sounds. As the player presses on the right Joy-Con 2, the controller's vibrations increase in strength until they produce a coin sound effect from Super Mario Bros.; after enough presses, they play a 1-Up sound effect. The player can afterwards freely play these sound effects on either Joy-Con 2 controller by pressing buttons. The demo has three achievements to complete:

• "Experience rumble as sound"
• " Play a coin sound effect"
• " Play a 1-Up sound effect"

The stylized World 1-1 as seen in the "Ray Tracing" insight

The insight "Nintendo and Rumble (2)", found in the Joy-Con 2 (R) Inner Area, features images of Game Paks for Super Mario Land, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, Mario Pinball Land, and WarioWare: Twisted!. Additionally, the insight "Nintendo and Cameras", found in the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera Area, features images of the Mario Chase minigame from Nintendo Land, and Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit.

The "Ray Tracing" insight and "Main Computer Insights Quiz 2" quiz in the Nintendo Switch 2 Console Inner Area use a stylized depiction of World 1-1 from Super Mario Bros., made out of simple shapes, to demonstrate the system's GPU's ray tracing capabilities. The "Nintendo and Operating Systems" insight in the same area shows a Super Mario 64 Game Pak and a New Super Mario Bros. Game Card, and the "Different Types of Wireless Communication" insight shows a Mario amiibo.

In the quiz "Joy-Con 2 Wheel Insights Quiz 2", found in the Joy-Con 2 Wheel Area, one of the incorrect answers for the question "Of the following games that use steering-wheel controls, which is the oldest?" is Mario Kart Wii.
