Animal Crossing (Japanese: どうぶつの森 Dōbutsu no Mori, "Animal Forest") is a series of social simulation games produced by Nintendo. The main games in the series feature the human player character living in a small town populated with anthropomorphic animals, socializing and forming friendships with them, and performing tasks and errands, among other features. Since the series' inception with the Japan-only Dōbutsu no Mori on the Nintendo 64, numerous crossovers between Animal Crossing and the Super Mario franchise have appeared.

Characters based on Super Mario characters

Louie is a gorilla villager who has an appearance reminiscent of Donkey Kong. in Animal Crossing and Animal Crossing: New Leaf he wears shirts with Luigi and Mario's emblems respectively, connecting him more strongly to the Super Mario franchise.

The frog villager Wart Jr. may be a nod to Wart.

The alligator villager Alfonso has the catchphrase "it'sa me", and in several games wears a shirt with Mario's emblem. Alfonso's design is evocative of Yoshi.

Super Mario items in Animal Crossing

Furniture and clothing items based on characters and objects from the Super Mario franchise have been a staple of the Animal Crossing series since Dōbutsu no Mori. These items are grouped together as the Mario Theme up to Animal Crossing: New Leaf, as the Super Mario Set in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, and as the Mario Series in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

History in the Super Mario franchise

Overview of the Animal Crossing DLC for Mario Kart 8

Main article: Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8

A paid downloadable content pack, titled Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8, was launched for Mario Kart 8 on April 23, 2015. This pack featured the addition of Villager and Isabelle as playable drivers; additionally, the Crossing Cup was introduced, which includes the Animal Crossing race course. Several vehicle parts based on the Animal Crossing series were also included in the DLC: the Streetle kart, the City Tripper bike, the Leaf Tires, and the Paper Glider. A Mii racing suit based on Animal Crossing was added to the base game on the same day, which can be unlocked by scanning an Animal Crossing amiibo.

All of the content from Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8 is included in the base game in the Nintendo Switch port of the game, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Slider, Lottie, Mabel, Reese, Resetti, Rover, Timmy and Tommy, and Tom Nook were added.

Super Mario Maker

Super Mario Maker introduces the Mystery Mushroom for Super Mario Bros.-themed courses.

History in the Animal Crossing franchise

First generation of Animal Crossing

In Dōbutsu no Mori and its Nintendo GameCube ports Dōbutsu no Mori+, Animal Crossing, and Dōbutsu no Mori e+ (collectively known as the first generation of Animal Crossing games), various NES and Famicom titles can be obtained as items and played within the game itself.

In all first-generation games, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. Math, Golf, and Pinball are among the NES games that can be attained by the player via the NPC Wisp, treasure hunts, or shaking trees while having good luck. The former two can also be won in raffles, while the latter two can be purchased from Crazy Redd's Furniture Emporium.

Introduced in the GameCube versions were Donkey Kong 3, Donkey Kong Jr., and Wario's Woods. The former two can only be acquired using secret codes, which could be generated on an official Animal Crossing website in 2002 and given to Tom Nook in-game. Wario's Woods can only be obtained via the Animal Island mode using a Game Boy Advance and Link Cable.

Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. are also obtainable via secret codes in Dōbutsu no Mori+, though no way to generate these codes was ever made officially available by Nintendo. Super Mario Bros. was only officially available as a prize, in the form of a special Memory Card with the item's data, given away to 30 winners in a sweepstakes by the magazine Shūkan Famitsu in 2001; the game's data is present in Animal Crossing, but completely unobtainable via official means. Mario Bros. could be obtained in the American version of Animal Crossing via an e-Reader card; it is unobtainable in the European version due to e-Reader functionality being removed. Both games were removed completely from Dōbutsu no Mori e+.

Super Mario-themed furniture was introduced with the Mario Theme in Animal Crossing.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf

• Several Mario-specific items can be obtained by purchasing fortune cookies with Play Coins.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

• There were fishing events with Cheep Cheep, Cheep Chomp, and Eep Cheep.
• Various Mario-specific items were also in the game, some of which were unique.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Japanese promotional image for the Mario items added to New Horizons

The version 1.8.0 update of Animal Crossing: New Horizons released on February 25, 2021 introduced the Mario Series of furniture and clothing, coinciding with the Super Mario Bros. 30th Anniversary. This includes the Pipe furniture item, which functions like the object it is based on. If the player has two placed on their island, they can hop in one and exit the other; if three or more are placed, the destination Pipe will be randomized.

In the version 3.0 update released on January 15, 2026, several classic Nintendo systems were added as obtainable furniture items, each with an associated game that can be played with an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription. The associated game for the Game Boy item is Dr. Mario.

Mario references in AC (add to list above)

• In all games in the series, if the player finds Bells from a rock using a shovel, the 1-Up tune from Super Mario Bros. will play for every bag found.

Doubutsu no Mori (N64)

• The player can obtain seven rare NES games, which can be placed in their house as furniture items and played via emulation by interacting with them. Among them are Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr.
• There are four Super Mario-related shirts: the "big bro's shirt", a red shirt with Mario's trademark "M"; the "lil' bro's shirt", a green shirt with Luigi's "L"; the "turnip top", on which a pattern resembling vegetables appears, and the "toad print", which is a red shirt with Toad spots. These items would reappear in both Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+.

Doubutsu no Mori+ / Animal Crossing (GCN)

The Mario and Luigi statues.

• When Rover calls Tom Nook when the second, third, or fourth player first starts a save, he says "It's-a me! Good impression, huh?", referring to Mario's famous catchphrase.
• As with Doubutsu no Mori, there are many rare NES games that the player can find and play once they are in their house. Among them are several Super Mario games (including the two featured in Doubutsu no Mori), the methods of obtaining which differ between Doubutsu no Mori+ and Animal Crossing.
  • In Doubutsu no Mori+, the games can be obtained as follows:
    • Donkey Kong can be mailed to the player as a birthday present, and can alternatively be obtained by burying a furniture item on Animal Island, then having the Islander dig it up and bury another item as replacement. The same method can be used to obtain Donkey Kong Jr. and Wario's Woods. Doubutsu no Mori+ also fixes a mistake from the N64 version where the Donkey Kong Jr. cartridge was blue, changing it to the proper white color; the original model is instead used by Donkey Kong Jr. Math, which actually did have a blue cartridge.
    • Donkey Kong Jr. Math can be purchased from Crazy Redd's.
    • Donkey Kong 3 can be won as a prize from Tom Nook's lottery.
    • Mario Bros. can be obtained by mailing villagers letters consisting solely of the codes written on the backs of their e-Reader cards. The same method can also be used to obtain Super Mario Bros., itself also given away to players as part of a Famitsu sweepstakes.
  • In Animal Crossing, the methods of obtaining most of these games are radically altered:
    • Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. Math are obtainable from Tom Nook's lottery, Crazy Redd's, or by digging it up after a villager buries it.
    • Wario's Woods is obtained through the exact same method as in Doubutsu no Mori+, the only obtainable Super Mario game to hold this distinction.
    • Donkey Kong Jr. and Donkey Kong 3 are obtainable through codes provided for the player's specific name and town as prizes from Nintendo giveaways on the game's official site. Because the website is no longer online, these items are now only available through universal item codes or by using cheating devices.
    • Mario Bros. can be obtained by scanning an e-Reader card for the game.
    • Super Mario Bros. is hidden in the game's code and can only be obtained through cheating devices.
• Two items in the game are the Mario trophy and Luigi trophy, which are gold and silver respectively.
• While rowing to Animal Island, Kapp'n sings one of a few random songs, and one of the lyrics to one of them says that he sings better than Mario.
• After rescuing Gulliver, the player might be told of how he left his pet goldfish in Hyrule and Toad Town.
• There is a series of Super Mario-themed furniture that can be unlocked with special cheat codes from Nintendo Power if the player tells them to Tom Nook. They include: a Warp Pipe, a Super Star, a Fire Flower, a Mushroom, a Flagpole, a Koopa Shell, a Cannon (or rather a Bill Blaster), a ? Block, a Brick Block, and a Coin. There is a wallpaper called "Mushroom Mural" which is an exact replica of the backdrop of the first level in Super Mario Bros., and a carpet called "Block Flooring" which is identical to the ground tiles.
• Alfonso the alligator sports the big bro's shirt, and his initial catchphrase is "It's-a me." Additionally, one of the gorillas, Louie, greatly resembles Donkey Kong and wears the lil' bro's shirt.
• If the player mails Bob the code on his e-card, he will write back in a letter claiming he had a dream of the player running around an island with a water pump on their back, a reference to Super Mario Sunshine.

Doubutsu no Mori e+ (GCN)

• The egg Town Decoration resembles a Yoshi Egg.
• If the player catches a Squid, text will appear, roughly translating to "I caught a squid! It's a Blooper!"
• The Pinball machine furniture item first appears in this game, and prominently features promotional artwork from Super Mario Bros. on the top screen.

Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS)

• The furniture pieces from the original Animal Crossing are available once more, with some new ones added in. However, this time they must be received from Nintendo through letters obtained over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
• The Pinball machine furniture item from Doubutsu no Mori e+ re-appears, and retains the Super Mario Bros. artwork.
• Occasionally when players open up villagers' bureaus, dressers, etc., the message that pops up reads "What are Luigi's clothes doing in here?!"
• The four shirts from the original return. The hats and mustaches are also in the game.
• The SMB3 paper stationary first appears in this game, with a background resembling the title screen for Super Mario Bros. 3.
• The arcade machine furniture item first appears in this game, featuring a fighting game with characters resembling Mario and Luigi.
• The tabletop machine furniture item first appears in this game, featuring terrain that resembles a ground level in Super Mario Bros. on the game displayed on-screen.

Animal Crossing: City Folk (Wii)

? Block and Brick Block patterns.

The "Mario" furniture series (top), and the Arcade Machine (bottom).

• A Banana, Triple Shells, a Yoshi's Egg, a "bad bro mustache" (an accessory that looks like Wario's nose and mustache), a Toad hat, a Peach Parasol, a Wario hat, and a Kart (taking the appearance of Mario's Standard Kart from Mario Kart Wii) can all be purchased from the Tom Nook Point System.
• All the Super Mario-related items from the original Animal Crossing appear in this game, but instead of using a code to obtain them, the player must shoot down a floating present with a slingshot and open it.
• If Wendell is given a red turnip or a white turnip, the player gets a ? Block or Brick Block pattern respectively.
• The Pinball machine, Tabletop game, and Arcade machine furniture items from previous entries re-appear, retaining their Super Mario-franchise designs. In addition, the SMB3 paper stationary item returns.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3DS)

Guliver mentioning Admiral Bobbery.

• After waking up Gulliver on the beach, he may ask the player if he is in the Overthere. If the player chooses to help him, he may say, "Oh, thanks! I haven't met someone so willing to help a total stranger since the residents of Ricco Harbor!". He may also say, "You mean it?! I haven't met such a noble skipper since old Bobbery of Rogueport! Not even close!" In addition, he may also say how he was glad when he was once washed up on Isle Delfino.
• When Gulliver describes his destination as Easter Island, one of the options to choose is Yoshi's Island.
• Mario and Luigi hats and shirts and a Wario hat can be bought at the Able Sisters shop. The first six notes of the "Ground Theme" from Super Mario Bros. plays when one of these are put on.
• In the Dream Suite, sometimes when the player falls asleep, a soft version of the "Ground Theme" from Super Mario Bros. will play.
• On the official website, there are QR Codes for designs which players can scan using the sewing machine to receive special clothes in-game; two of these designs are Princess Peach and Princess Daisy's dresses.
• The Pinball machine, Tabletop game, and Arcade machine furniture items from previous entries re-appear, retaining their Super Mario-franchise designs. In addition, the SMB3 paper stationary item returns.
• Sometimes, villagers might say they have a game about "a guy in green overalls with a vacuum cleaner", a reference to Luigi's appearance in the Luigi's Mansion series.
• The fortune cookies from Timmy and Tommy's store contain lucky tickets, which can be traded in for Nintendo-related items, including items from the Super Mario franchise. Besides the carpet and wallpaper, all the 8-bit items from previous Animal Crossing games have changed into their modern designs, specifically those seen in Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7. 22 of the lucky tickets are references to the Super Mario franchise, more specifically to either Super Mario or Mario Kart:
