The characters in the game mimic the appearance of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Bowser and the setting is similar to World 1 from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Super Chick Sisters
In their campaign against fast food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), PETA made a site called kentuckyfriedcruelty.com, where the player can play a game called Super Chick Sisters. This game is mostly based on New Super Mario Bros..

The game has the player dodge obstacles by jumping à la Mario. Mario is wearing his skin and flying ahead of Tanooki. The game was released online by PETA to call attention to this issue. The game title refers to Super Mario 3D Land (the flash game has been uploaded soon after its release).

Stinkoman 20X6

 * The game features its very own version of the Minus World, Level -0, "NEGATORY". Unlike the Minus World, it is beatable and part of the game, but is far glitchier than Minus World.
 * "Fiery-Hot" from the Saargtsson battle, which is an exact copy of the cannon's blasts in the Airship levels of Super Mario Bros. 3
 * "Old Sage" looks similar to spikes found in The Moon level of Super Mario Land 2. "Liekand", a boss, is very similar in appearance to Fryguy from Super Mario Bros. 2 (the fact that Liekand is a mouse that wears sunglasses is another inside reference, as Mouser is also a mouse that wears sunglasses).
 * The Stinkomanual's story tells the player not to "expect any weepy Princess crap".

This is the Only Level TOO
One of the levels is titled World 1-2, and to get past it, the character must break two top ceiling blocks and jump on top of the ceiling. After going right enough, there will be a large room that has three Warp Pipes (all of them have the number two on them), and pixelated words that say "WELCOME TO THE WARP ZONE", a obvious reference to the Warp Zone.

The Annoying Orange
In the episode "Super Mario", Mario goes to Bowser's Castle, but finds that it is empty, then goes to the area where Toad would usually be, and finds Orange. After being annoyed for a while, Mario is eventually hit by a Bullet Bill. Afterwards, Orange reveals that he saved Peach and Toad hours ago, and that he "defeated" Bowser by annoying him until Bowser got angry and left. Another episode decipted Orange and a mushroom annoying other foods, and at the end, Orange exclaimed to the mushroom, "Mario!" Mario then jumps onto the counter and eats the mushroom. Orange then complains to Mario, but soon cheers up. After that Mario says that he wants a Frog Suit.

brentalfloss
brentalfloss is a YouTube celebrity who takes music from video games and gives it lyrics. He has done this with several Mario themes: the ending theme song from Super Mario Bros. 2, the athletic theme from Super Mario Bros. 3, the fever theme from Dr. Mario, the Birabuto Kingdom theme from Super Mario Land, the main theme from Mario Paint, the athletic theme from Yoshi's Island, the Bob-omb battlefield theme from Super Mario 64 (Uses Super Mario Galaxy 2 version), the ending credits theme from Super Mario World, and the music played in Gusty Garden Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy.

Mario was also referenced many times in his music video "Nintendohemian Rhapsody" featuring Pat the NES Punk (a parody of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody"), by showing gameplay footage from Super Mario Bros. in several parts, saying the lyric "Mamma mia, mamma mia!" in an Italian accent, dressed as Mario, and showing strategy guides and cartridges for various Mario games, to name a few.

In 2010, he advertised his debut CD, What If This CD... Had Lyrics?, in a video called "Official ScrewAttack "The CD is HERE!" Promo". In this video, he advertises his CD to the tune of the Birabuto Kingdom theme from Super Mario Land (which was later given lyrics over 2 years afterwards). In the same year, he also advertised his then-new T-shirt in a video called "Wear me on your boobs!", where he advertises the said T-shirt to the tune of the Secret Slide theme from Super Mario 64.

He has also made other songs related to Mario that aren't based on video game music. "The 2-2 Blues" and "Super Mario Bros.: The Musical", for instance, are original compositions by Brentalfloss, and "Mushroom Kingdom" is a parody of "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger.

 * Pumpakin Carve-nival - In this cartoon, The King of Town is dressed as Mario. When the toon is over, if he is clicked on, a secret minigame called "Super Kingio Bros." will be able to be played.

 * Email Japanese cartoon - One of the NES endings in an Easter egg is the ending to Super Mario Bros. 2.
 * Awexome Cross - The sound effects for jumping, crashing and collecting buxx are taken from Super Mario Bros.. The jump sound is the solid block hit sound, the crash sound is the Brick Block breaking sound and the buxx collect sound is the Coin collect sound.
