Also, Mario, Luigi, Toad, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Koopa Troopa and Dr. Mario appear in the game, and a Bowser mask is worn by the final boss. In their campaign against McDonald's, PETA also made a game based on Mario at the site mccruelty.com called New Super Chick Sisters. Super Chick Sisters can be played here.

Unlike "Mario Kills Tanooki", the protests aren't directly aimed at the Mario franchise.

Super Mario Remaker
This game was a downloadable game that was a remade version of Super Mario Maker for the computer. It also had exclusive features like Rex and customizing costumes for Costume Mario. It was later taken down by Nintendo.

Super PiCO World
Planning Center Online uses a Mario-based game entitled Super PiCO World as a hidden form of entertainment. There is a single level, the layout of which is identical to World 1-1 from Super Mario Bros., with everything redesigned slightly, such as PiCO replacing Mario and webpages replacing Warp Pipes.

Super Tanooki Skin 2D
Super Tanooki Skin 2D is a parody Flash game, starring the character Tanooki, a skinless animal who is chasing Mario to get his skin back. 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 was 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: 6 Golden Coins. "The 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 reference to the Warp Zone.

Memes
This section is for Mario-related Internet memes that have been particularly influential on Internet culture and do not have any particular association with specific online games, websites, or videos. Because memes are highly subjective, please ensure that any entries added to this section are backed up by credible sources, such as having a "Confirmed" status on Know Your Meme at the bare minimum.

0.5x A Presses / But first, we need to talk about Parallel Universes
0.5x A Presses is an Internet meme that circulated around 2016 regarding a certain video that concerns the stage in the Hazy Maze Cave stage in Super Mario 64. In the video, Super Mario 64 player pannenkoek2012 describes how to complete the objective Watch for Rolling Rocks in 0.5 A button presses. The video is well known for its absurd and complex analysis of the physics of Super Mario 64 as well as the technical manipulation of the game, as well as its introduction with one phrase, "An A press is an A press, you can't say it's only a half." Other phrases from the video include: "Misaligned QPU" and "building up speed for 12 hours." The video comes in two variants, with one being commentated by pannenkoek2012 himself and one without the commentary.

Bowsette
Bowsette is a meme which depicts Bowser using the Super Crown power-up (which, contradictory to the meme and its derivatives, can only be used by Toadette, and cannot affect any other characters, Bowser himself included) to transform into a Princess Peach lookalike, stemming from a comic posted on Twitter and DeviantArt by user ayyk92 on September 19, 2018. In the comic, Bowser uses the power-up after he and Mario are rejected in marriage proposal by Peach in Super Mario Odyssey's ending, with the implication that the resulting Princess Peach lookalike got into a relationship with Mario (depicted as being during Mario Tennis Aces). The comic became immensely popular, after which the name "Bowsette" was appended to the character (despite not following Peachette's naming structure properly), to the point of the Peachette page being MarioWiki's most-visited page for a time, followed by associated pages, and the meme being the #1 trend on Twitter of Japan. It spawned a large amount of parodies, permutations, and fan art, and ayyk92 went from just 78 followers to over 50,000 after posting the comic, having garnered over 1000 within a single day. The artist later made a sequel due to the popularity, featuring the transformed Bowser, with a cup of tea and an engagement ring, at the "Bad-Anon" from , to the other members' confusion, and yet another involving Shulk attacking her while she is distracted by a butterfly. Nintendo has acknowledged the meme, but stated they have nothing further to say about it.

Coincidentally, during the conceptual stages of Super Mario Odyssey, Nintendo planned for Bowser to have his own version of Cappy. In one of the concepts shown in The Art of Super Mario Odyssey, Bowser is shown using his cap to capture Peach, becoming "Peach Bowser."

DK Rap
The DK Rap from Donkey Kong 64 has been subject to numerous memetic parodies, which are largely attributable to its highly quotable and allegedly "cheesy" nature (which was intentional on the part of composer Grant Kirkhope ). These parodies include citing and corrupting Lanky Kong's verse with emphasis on the word "he" (usually stylized as "HE" ), as well as remixing the song in general, either to mock its lyrics or as a mashup with other songs (as has been done many times on SiIvaGunner's channel) (not to be confused with SilvaGunner). Brentalfloss did his own mock version of the DK Rap, showing where the five main Kongs of the game are today.

Expand Dong
Expand Dong is a reaction image depicting Donkey Kong's face from the boxart of Donkey Kong 64, with the eponymous phrase (formed from letters of the game's title) displayed below his face. The meme is strongly associated with a clip from the song "Our Love is Stronger Than a Golden Banana" from the Donkey Kong Country episode "Raiders of the Lost Banana", where DK sings "I'll shower you with coconut cream pies," as well as DK's expression on the cover of the, due to the perceived lewdness of both. Derivatives of the meme exist featuring other fictional characters and similar captions (which may be innuendos or otherwise).

Luigi's Death Stare
Luigi's Death Stare refers to the angry, determined staring expression that Luigi occasionally shows in Mario Kart 8 when passing by opponents (though the expression is neither exclusive to him nor did it originate in Mario Kart 8). Originally brought to attention in user-uploaded clips of the game, Luigi's "death stare" grew in popularity when it was featured in the video "Luigi Ridin' Dirty", which set one of the aforementioned clips to the song "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire. Since then, the "death stare" was exploited by Nintendo themselves in a Japanese commercial for Mario Kart 8, and mentioned in the Nintendo Digital Event at E3 2014. It was later referenced in-game in Paper Mario: Color Splash, and in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle through Luigi's Steely Stare ability.

Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing
Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing is a series of videos depicting, as its name indicates, an immobile Luigi winning games (usually minigames from the Mario Party series or fights in Super Smash Bros.) as his AI-controlled opponents, who are all set to the easiest difficulty (highest in Super Smash Bros.), defeat themselves. The original video, featuring Mario Party 2, was uploaded on YouTube on October 11, 2009 and has over 6 million views as of November 2017.

The meme was referenced by both Nintendo of Europe and Super Mario UK Twitter accounts, which, on November 29, 2017, uploaded a clip of the Mario Party: The Top 100 remake of the Mario Party 2 minigame Bumper Balls (one of the games featured in the original video) with the caption "Yes, it still works."

Mama Luigi
Mama Luigi is a popular meme which is based on the version of the character from the Super Mario World TV series episode of the same name. He wears a green hat, matching overalls, and a blue shirt, and has green eyes that are sometimes cross-eyed (which is actually taken from the ending of The Yoshi Shuffle). His favorite food is bagels and his most recurring catchphrases are "Or is it the bagel?" and "That's Mama Luigi to you."

Weegee
Weegee is a widespread Internet meme based on the odd sprite of Luigi used for the MS-DOS version of Mario is Missing!, which appears to have an odd-looking stare and a hunched-over posture. This led to the creation of a vectorized image based on Luigi's sprite (pictured at right) that became the basis for the meme. The most common use of the exploitable is to edit "Weegee" or his face into pictures to create a sense of awkwardness and discomfort. Variants for other Mario characters exist, most notably "Malleo", a derivative of Mario's sprite from the same game. As a possible reference to this meme, Luigi's trophy description in the American English version of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U refers to his taunts as "100% Weegee".

Yoshi commits tax fraud
Yoshi committing tax fraud is a meme that began in 2016, when Tumblr user Druddigon responded to a list of 64 things wrong with Yoshi games (each of them being "nothing") with a claim that Yoshi commits tax fraud. Upon being demanded to show proof, Druddigon responded a simple edited picture of with a text bubble saying "i committed tax fraud," with no capitalization or punctuation. The meme gained traction in 2018, following YouTuber SiIvaGunner using the meme in some of his "high-quality rip" remixes.

In "Axe Cop #0", it is explained that Axe Cop's parents occasionally put a hat on him and referred to him as Baby Mario since he was born with a mustache. The cap is shown as red with the letter M on it, much like Mario's.

 * Pumpkin 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. The game however, is an obvious joke, as the player plays as the King of Town, who is too fat to hit any of the blocks or jump over the first Goomba. Also, when the King of Town learns that his pumpkin entry in the contest receives a "worst place" prize, he laments, "Sorry, king, but our princess is in another castle.".

 * 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.
 * Email mile - During the parade for The Cheat, the rhythmic "song" heard is from Super Mario Bros. 3, which is played during the airship levels. Also, the exploding fireworks sound effect sounds like the sound effect created by the cannon fire and exploding Bob-ombs from these levels.

For a time on IGN's main website, if a reader tried to access a link on the site that did not exist, then the resulting error message would quote Toad's line from Super Mario Bros.: 404 Not Found Thank You Mario But Our Princess Is In Another Castle!

A later update added several random quotes from other game and movie franchises, including additional ones from the Mario series. Some examples being "It's-a me, Mario!" (Mario's opening line in Super Mario 64) and "Maaaaaaaaario?" (one of Luigi's screams in Luigi's Mansion).


 * A couple of skins available are Mario themed.

As part of their Golden Flash Giveaway, the site features a ? Block.

Lego Ideas is a website where people submit their own Lego projects. If the project gets 10,000 supporters, it goes into a review. If it passes the review, the project becomes an actual product and the maker will get 1% of the profit. One of the more popular projects was Mario-themed (which was archived due to rival company K'Nex owning the Mario license): Project Description: ''"The icon of game history: Super Mario along with his brother Luigi and the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom, have inspired and entertained us for 27 years. And will hopefully keep on doing so for many years to come! An idea came to me the very moment I discovered the "Ultimate Block" system of bricks. The idea was so simple yet it inspired so much undefinable nostalgia and inspiration. The block idea I got consists of 4 parts, a 2x2 plate, two 2x1 bricks with brick relief, and a 2x2 tile with a centered stud on top. This became the most common Mario element, the Brick Blocks! Iconic as they are, and some may feel the Mario nostalgia kick in and see the potential LEGO and Mario combined would possess! The Mario games are varied, but the most memorable ones are the classic 2D side scrolling adventures of this amazing plumber, and not to forget, his Brother. So the idea is simple, Bring the best elements of Mario to the LEGO format... And as an initial idea, a 2D side scrolling adventure in 3 dimensions, is the perfect solution! Having several sections would allow you to expand the world as desired. There are 5 different sections, but it would not necessarily mean 5 different products. Presenting a single product containing all the parts needed to construct one of the 5 sections, would allow you to build the section you like the most, and rebuild it to another once you feel the need of change in scenery. This would allow one single product that can expand your world by every set added to your collection. The parts included would also allow a whole new world of possibilities to expand your own visions of a Mario world! Should it prove successful enough to become a continued theme, it would on a longer term introduce other themes and colour pallets so the variety would be expanded drastically. Also introduce larger play sets which would inspire even more. The Blocks will be essential in every set, with a greater number of Brick blocks, and some unique blocks in addition, such as the Mystery Block, Used Blocks and Note Blocks (Jump Block). These Blocks would require prints for 2x2 plates and 2x2 tiles (or center studded tiles), as well as 2x2 bricks. Including the essential items is a must, the Coins, Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, Super Leaves, Stars and 1-Up Mushrooms, to name the current ones".''

In "Real-life Bowsers Castle: Jump on this deal before Mario Does", David Cross has done the math on how tall, how wide, and how expensive Bowser's castle would be as it appears in Super Mario Bros. 3 in real-world terms. He published the results in a blog post and an infographic. Cross, in "Super Mario Bros: Cash in Your Dollars for 8-bit Gold", states that a single Coin would be worth $508,829.16 in real-world money.

In Natalie Grigson's article, Grigson calculated that Princess Peach's Castle is worth $950,972,940 in real-world money, not including the moat, land or paintings, and in another she priced Donkey Kong's Tree House at $3,800.

Randy Nelson's "The Real-World Price of Luigi’s Mansion", sets the mansion's price at $17,170,029. R. Nelson also did an article on "30 reasons to move to the Mushroom Kingdom". Bowser's Castle, Peach's Castle, Luigi's Mansion, and Donkey Kong's Tree House are among the buildings in R. Nelson's "15 Famous Video Game Houses Built With LEGO Bricks".

MS Paint Adventures ()
On page 7681, during Act 6 Act 5 Act 1x2 of Homestuck, Andrew Hussie, speaking through the narrative prompt, likens Trickster Mode to Mario ("a small Italian plumber who goes on sideways adventures") using a Super Star to power through the levels. He argues that being able to "win" without any effort thanks to being rendered "magic and invincible" by the Star is "actually devastating to his development as a human being" because "Mario NEEDS to stomp on all those mushrooms. He NEEDS to bonk those bricks with his head, for the sake of his personal growth." Hussie then admits that "Maybe Mario isn't the best example" since he is a "one-dimensional friendly cartoon plumber" and thus isn't quite applicable to the Trickster Mode situation that befell the teenage protagonists of the story.

RiffTrax have also released a commentary for the Super Mario Bros. movie. The accompanying trailer jokingly rated the film "W" for Waluigi because "Waluigi would have vastly improved this movie and that's saying something." Various riffs during the commentary make references to the Mario games, including the following:

Mike Nelson: "Mommy, why is there a lady at a church in a city? Where are the Mushrooms and the turtles and the coins?"

Mike Nelson: "Oh! My favorite Mario Party minigame: delousing the genitals."

Mike Nelson: "Forget this, the boss has me trained to throw an endless supply of hammers for some reason. How about you?" Kevin Murphy: "Ugh, boomerangs. Never ends, does it?"

Bill Corbett: "''Mario, if you make it out of this, I'm doing that mansion game on my own!"

Mario: "Ugh, I hate heights." Bill Corbett: "Says the character who frequently sprouts a tail and soars above the clouds."

Mike Nelson: "All the fun of Mario Kart''! Minus the competition, the test of skill, the powerups, the iconic characters, the good graphics, the tight controls, the classic sound effects, the well-thought out levels, online play, battle mode... On the other hand, no [bleep]ing Blue Shells.

Kevin Murphy: "Say! The Mushroom Kingdom, after dark!" Bill Corbett: "So, like Level 8 of Mario 3''?" Kevin Murphy: "No, that's not what I meant!"

Bill Corbett (when Yoshi appears): "Mario! Is that really you?"

Mike Nelson: "Whoa! They... they actually did it! A... a... a faithful representation of the skank slalom level in Super Mario Brothers 2!" Kevin Murphy: "Wait, skank slalom level? I don't remember that!" Mike Nelson: "Of course you do, Kevin. You know, you ride a stained mattress down a frozen pipe and can only access it by playing as Daniella, Mario's Italian girlfriend." Bill Corbett: "Daniella's in the game?" Mike Nelson: "Sure is! You have unlock her character by dancing with a large woman at the Boom Boom Club and playing Toad's famous harmonica melody back. Kevin Murhpy: "Toad's harmonica melod-" Mike Nelson: "Yeah, but that's only after you fix your van's radiator, beat Scapelli to a plumbing job; and take your girlfriend Daniella, your foster child Luigi, and his date, Daisy, to a fine Italian meal." Bill Corbett: "Huh! I... never realized ...uh... I have to check that out." Mike Nelson: "Oh, don't bother. This is nothing like any Super Mario game. But it is a spot-on recreation of ' down to every last detail!" Kevin Murphy: "Uh, uh, Ecco the Dolphin is a skank slalom level?" Mike Nelson: "It's a masterpiece..." Kevin Murphy': "Okay..."

For a time, when trying to access a Twitch.tv page that would produce a, (such as this link), it would show a custom page with this message, which was a reference to Toad's statement in Super Mario Bros.: I'm sorry, that page is in another castle!

When the official Twitter Safety account posted about a new update that related to reporting a user, Waluigi was used as the example user's avatar (featuring his artwork from Mario Party 10).

SiIvaGunner/GiIvaSunner

 * SiIvaGunner (formerly known as GiIvaSunner) is a YouTube collective known for uploading avant-garde remixes and parodies of video game songs, many of which are from the Mario series or contain elements from it (along with related series such as the Super Smash Bros. series). Additionally, several of the channel's major elements are Mario-related:
 * One of the "main characters" as depicted by the channel is a variation of Mario known as "7 GRAND DAD", who is depicted in two different forms: a recolored, off-model Mario sprite, and Fred Flintstone with Mario's head. The character originates from a bootleg Mario game known as “GRAND DAD 3M 原始瑪莉VII” (the Chinese translates to "Primitive Mario") that was in fact a minimally-edited version of The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy, with the odd Mario graphic originating from another Mario bootleg, Dian Shi Ma Li.
 * The "CG Rap" is a parody of the DK Rap from Donkey Kong 64 in which most of the lyrics are replaced with "coconut gun". Most other remixes and uses of the DK Rap on the channel are based on this parody and/or reference "coconut gun" in a similar style.
 * During the channel's "Christmas Comeback Crisis" story arc (a parody of the Kirby series), a false finale titled "Waluigi's Tacostand" was uploaded, which features the misadventures of Waluigi opening a taco stand and interacting with the channel's other characters.

Smosh

 * Smosh's 2010 video "If Video Games Were Real" features a parody of Super Mario Bros.. Here, Ian (as Peach) tells Anthony (as Mario) that he must "pay up" if he wants to be with him. Anthony then proceeds to punch a Brick Block to get a Coin, but instead injures his hand and howls in pain, ending the segment by shouting "F**K!!!".
 * In Smosh's video "REAL VOODOO DOLL!", the video starts with Anthony being frustrated by a Lakitu while playing Super Mario Bros.. Also, Mario plushes, a Super Mario Galaxy poster, and even an actual Lakitu (which Ian gets killed by in the end) are spottable in the episode.
 * Several Mario-related objects are located around the house where most episodes take place, such as a painting of Yoshi and Yoshi Eggs.
 * One of Smosh's licensed T-shirts is of Yoshi biting into a sign containing his name (in Mario-style font).
 * Smosh's "REJECTED MARIO GAMES" video is entirely about (made-up) Mario games that were canceled due to their absurdity. Also, the beginning shows boxart of several past Mario games. Also, Mario Teaches Walking is a parody of Mario Teaches Typing and Mario's Mansion is a fictionalized alpha version of Luigi's Mansion, which (fictionally) shifted focus towards Luigi after Mario stated "This game sucks, give it to Luigi."
 * In the episode "WE'RE IN SUPER MARIO!", Ian and Antony travel into Super Mario Bros. and ends being seriously injured. At the end of the video, Mario says that to see bloopers and behind the scenes content, the spectator must click in the link in the description of the video, and ends saying "Click in the subscribe button and win an extra life. I gotta save the princess so she can just get kidnapped again and then we will make five million more games bye!".
 * In the episode "SEXTING GONE WRONG!", Mario appears as a random character to provide backup nude photos (with the threat of posting them online as part of a defense mechanism) and ends up dying of shock after seeing Anthony's photos.

TeamFourStar
TeamFourStar have made a few references to the Mario franchise throughout their Dragon Ball Z Abridged series.
 * There is a recurring gag in the series that consists of calling Namekians (usually Piccolo) Yoshis. Some examples includes:
 * In Episode 2, Goku asks Piccolo if he is a Yoshi due to them both being green and having been born from eggs, which Piccolo sarcastically says he is one. Then Goku asks if he can ride him, just like how Yoshis are rideable in most games they appear in.
 * In the Dragon Ball Z Kai Abridged Episode 1, this scene is recreated and shortened a lot, with Goku only asking if Piccolo is a Yoshi, which he answers "Hell yeah".
 * In the Christmas Tree of Might Movie Part 1, when Piccolo first meets Turles, he says that he looks like Goku, while Turles replies that he looks like a Yoshi.
 * In the Lord Slug Movie, when Goku discovers Lord Slug's species, he almost calls him a Yoshi, but gets interrupted by King Kai telling him not to call him a Yoshi, and then proceeds to tell him he's a Super Namekian.
 * TeamFourStar are even selling two shirts featuring Piccolo as a Yoshi, with the second one being called "Piccoloshi's Island" depicting him with a baby Gohan on his back, parodying the video game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
 * In Episode 4, when Gohan transforms into the Great Ape, music from Donkey Kong plays and he hoists a barrel up, much like Donkey Kong. When he transforms back into Gohan the power-down music from Super Mario Bros. is heard.
 * In Episode 25, when Krillin gets impaled by Frieza's horn, he claims that it's the worst pain he's ever gotten, but then Frieza continues stabbing him multiple other times, which gives Frieza 1-Ups. Also at the end of this episode, there is a parody of Frieza's transformation where he hits a ? Block to get a Super Mushroom that transforms him into his second form. This scene is also accompanied by Super Mario Bros.'s overworld theme.
 * In Episode 28, after Frieza finished the "game" he's playing with Goku, he asks him if he liked the game. Goku then responds that it was okay, but it was no Donkey Kong, which has a "pie level."
 * In the Revenge of Cooler Movie, when Gohan is on his way back to Goku and Krillin, Cooler's henchmen interrupts him and tells him "Well hello, Diddy. Where's Donkey?" Later on, after Salza kicks Gohan away, he says he's going to give the coup de gras to the king of Kongs, referring to Goku.

This is Bob

"Weird Al" Yankovic

 * In an animated video promoting his album "Medium Rarities", Weird Al is seen playing an arcade game that is a spoof of Super Mario Bros. The video also contains Weird Al going down a Warp Pipe, with the same sound effect from Super Mario Bros.


 * In "Movie Accent Expert Breaks Down 31 Actors Playing Real People", dialect coach Erik Singer discusses the used in 's portrayal of  dictator  by comparing it to Mario's stereotypical Italian accent. Singer directly says, "It's-a me, Mario!" while the voice clip and the title screen from Super Mario 64 plays in the background.

YouTube Poop
YouTube Poop refers to a style of YouTube videos consisting of randomly edited clips from various sources, usually to nonsensical effect. Among the more popular sources are clips from the Mario animated series (particularly Super Mario World and its episode "Mama Luigi" ), as well as cutscenes from Hotel Mario, although other Mario-related media (including the canon games) have been used as sources as well. The phenomenon became significant enough to be acknowledged by some of the creators behind the original material, such as screenwriter Phil Harnage and voice actor Marc Graue ; Graue has even actively participated in the ironic fan community surrounding Hotel Mario.

Zach Boucher
American YouTuber Zach Boucher, professionally known as SploogeGaming, has made various rap songs and rap battles about the Mario franchise. These include the "Intense Super Mario 64 Rap", a rap song about Mario's adventure to save Peach and the Power Stars; "Intense Super Mario Sunshine Rap", another rap song that now centers about Mario's disastrous vacation in Isle Delfino; "Intense Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Rap", a third rap song that highlights Mario's adventure in the game; "Intense Luigi's Mansion Rap", a fourth rap song that centers on Luigi's ghostbusting adventure to save Mario; "Lap One: A Mario Kart 8 Rap", a rap song which highlights the flow of a typical Mario Kart 8 race; "Ultimate Super Smash Bros. Rap Battle Parts 1 & 2", which has various characters from the base Super Smash Bros. roster rap against each other, including Mario representatives Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Bowser, and Bowser Jr.; "Super Smash Bros. Rap Battle: DLC Edition", which has all of the DLC characters from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U engage in a rap battle; and the "Smashing Dr. Mario Rap Song", which is a rap about Super Smash Bros. from Dr. Mario's perspective. Zach Boucher has produced "Rage Rap: Rainbow Road", which has him rap about the frustrating course layout of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!s Rainbow Road, while showing gameplay footage of Toad and Toadette from the same game.

Portrait Ghosts such as Biff Atlas, Miss Petunia, Sue Pea, Neville, Lydia, Slim Bankshot, and Vincent Van Gore are mentioned throughout the Luigi's Mansion rap song, and are shown as part of gameplay footage; King Boo makes rare appearances throughout the rap song; foes like Hooktail, Sir Grodus, and Lord Crump are referenced in the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door rap song; and finally, the Super Smash Bros. rap battles feature numerous references: Mario (voiced by VideoGameRapBattles) says his signature catchphrase "It's-a me, Mario!" at the beginning of his verse, and references his famous status by referring to himself as "the lovable, idolized Nintendo character" and "what everyone wants to be"; Luigi (voiced by Adam Purski) references his Fireball's disruptive capabilities by saying "Believe me, get hit by floating fireballs. That'll just completely f*** up your entire combo", and talks about his up aerial, Luigi Cyclone, and damaging taunt; Bowser (voiced by NemRaps) references his Bowser Bomb and Flying Slam specials (ex: "Hit you with a Ground Pound, cowards catchin' feelings" and "You'll expire when hit by my Flying Slam!"); Bowser Jr. (voiced by DefMatch) starts his rap by saying, "I'm Bowser Jr., Mechakoopas will chew ya!", referencing his down special move, and later on, "I brought my seven brothers hovering above in these Clown Cars", referencing the Koopalings and the mass-produced Junior Clown Cars; Yoshi (voiced by Zach Boucher) references his egg laying capabilities and fast attacks; lastly, Donkey Kong (also voiced by NemRaps) raps about his attack speed and KO power, while referencing his tantrums when the Kongs' Banana Hoard is stolen (ex:"They say I'm going bananas, but I don't feel ya, I kill ya."). Donkey Kong's next line is, "What's a monkey to a gorilla?", possibly referencing Diddy Kong; additionally, Donkey Kong's last few lines are, "Battling this O.G.? Homie, you're history. King Kong ain't got shit on me!", which may reference the Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo Co., Ltd. lawsuit, where Universal Studios considered Donkey Kong a copyright infringement of King Kong. Later on, the court ruled in favor of Nintendo, saying that, "Donkey Kong is a unique game that does not share any similarities with King Kong".

There is a notable error in "Ultimate Super Smash Bros. Rap Part 1", where Bowser Jr. says "I brought my seven brothers hovering above in these Clown Cars", even though the Koopalings comprise of six males (Larry, Lemmy, Iggy, Morton, Roy, and Ludwig) and one female (Wendy). Additionally, the Koopalings are not Bowser Jr.'s siblings, due to being unrelated to Bowser. Bowser Jr. also references his Final Smash and the ability to become Shadow Mario at the end of his verse. "Ultimate Super Smash Bros. Rap: Part 1" is notable for featuring the most Mario characters, with 5 in total, while Part 2 features 1, and the DLC Edition features none. Several Mario characters also have beats inspired from existing tunes, though with added trap beats: Mario raps to the Hammer theme from Donkey Kong, Luigi raps to the Ground Theme of Super Mario Bros., and Peach raps to the Super Star's arrangement from Super Smash Bros..
