List of references in animated television

The following is an alphabetical list of Mario-related sightings and references in animated television shows and movies.

''American Dad!


Episode 58: "Spring Breakup" (originally aired May 18, 2008)

At Roger's spring break party, there is a brief scene involving a gorilla that resembles Donkey Kong, who is standing atop a mounain of beer kegs. The gorilla proceeds to toss a keg down to two frat boys in a similar manner to Donkey Kong throwing a barrel from the original Donkey Kong game.

El Chavo Animado
In the episode "Un Buen Recado" Chavo, Quico and Ñoño can be seen inside Quico's house playing a game of Super Mario Bros. where Chavo is Mario, Quico is Luigi and (probably) Ñoño is Wario. In addition, game pads they use are identical to the NES. The gameplay and background are similar to Super Mario Bros. but the status you see on screen is a parody of Super Mario World. Besides, Señor Barriga is represented as Goombas in the game.

Arthur
In the "A Word from Us Kids" segment for the episode "Arthur's Dummy Disaster", a certain child has a dummy which he calls "Mario". He describes the dummy, which is quite obviously a crudely drawn Mario, as being very athletic.

Also, the episode "Meek for a Week" features a heart-shaped watch known as the "Princess Peach Watch". Despite its name, though, it has nothing to do with Princess Toadstool; the names of the watch and princess may be coincidental.

In one fantasy for the episode "D.W. Unties the Knot", D.W.'s friend James, has a dog named "Bowser".

In the TV movie "Arthur's Perfect Christmas", Muffy, during a line in a song, describes that presents mean nothing if her friend Francine isn't by her side. As she says this, she appears in a Mario outfit, on the end of World 1-1, and is hit by a Koopa Troopa.

Batman: The Animated Series
The episode "If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?" features the computer game Riddle of the Minotaur, a game designed by Edward Nygma, a.k.a. The Riddler. When Dick Grayson (a.k.a. Robin) plays Riddle of the Minotaur on the computer, the sound effects used in the game are taken directly from the NES version of Super Mario Bros.

''Ben 10: Ultimate Alien
In the episode, "The Map of Infitity", one of the heads on the two-headed dragon in the temple makes a Bowser roar.

Chowder
In the episode Chowder and Mr. Fugu, Chowder tries to find a place where he and Mr. Fugu can find food for themselves without Mr. Fugu eating his. He finally stops at a place where "every dish is different". The two men that take Chowder's order greatly resemble Mario and Luigi, though they only appear on-screen for seconds.

In the episode Sniffleball, Chowder must run 14 bases in a game of sniffleball so that he can leave the game. One of the bases features him, Gorgonzola, and Panini in an area that resembles a castle in Super Mario Bros. Chowder jumps on Gorgonzola's head and into a Warp Pipe, and Gazpacho declares him "safe". The scene is even in 8 bit. In addition, a song similar to the underground theme plays.

In the episode Big Ball, Chowder and Mung Daal joined Team Macadamia when Truffles became coach to Team Goulash to win the game. In some scenes of the episode, Chowder's Macadamia cap looks similar to Mario's cap. There is even a Bowser look-alike at the end that says "game over".

In the special pop-up commentary episode of Stinky Love it says the costumer is based off of Mario.

Class of 3000
In the episode Funky Monkey a gorilla escapes from the class and takes refuge at the top of a construction site. Li'l D climbs the platforms to reach him, and the gorilla throws barrels at him in the process like in Donkey Kong. Li'l D even uses a large mallet to knock the barrels away.

Darkwing Duck
Episode 84: "The Frequency Fiends" (originally aired Oct. 17, 1992)

During the climax of the episode, Darkwing, Launchpad, Gosalyn and Megavolt build a life-sized level of the video game Son of Whiffle World to distract the Frequency Fiends (energy-based clones of Gosalyn). Although the Whiffle Boy series is more of a spoof of the Mega Man series, the level had a similar design to the first level of Donkey Kong. Darkwing, dressed as Whiffle Boy, had to leap over drums thrown down from the top level by Launchpad in order to rescue Gosalyn, who was dressed like a princess.

DuckTales
Episode 61: "Once Upon a Dime" (originally aired Dec. 24, 1987)

Near the beginning of the episode, Huey, Dewey and Louie try to convince Scrooge that they have a lucky quarter of their own in contrast to Scrooge's lucky dime. Huey goes on to tell Scrooge that they won six rounds of a game called Ducky Kong with it, and that the arcade machine gave them back their quarter every time.

El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera
In the El Tigre episode "Mother of All Tigres", at the end, they show two plumbers who look very much like Mario and Luigi, both with M's on their hats. The Luigi look-alike shouts "It's the zombie plumbers", which might be Wario and Waluigi, since one of them has a W on his hat.

The Fairly OddParents
"Fairy Fairy Quite Contrary" (originally aired Sep. 13, 2002)

In this episode, Timmy challenges his rival, Remy Buxaplenty, to a fairy duel. In the first portion of the duel, the fairies must save their respective godchildren from a gorilla, who throws barrels down girders at them, ala Donkey Kong.

Fish Hooks
In the Fish Hooks episode "Fish out of Water", when Bea & Oscar were under a desk hiding from the cat, Oscar tells Bea that them being chased by the cat reminds him of a game where a plumber is trying to rescue a princess from a monkey throwing barrels; which is an obvious reference to Donkey Kong.

In the episode "Underwater Boy", Oscar's video game makes sound effects from the Donkey Kong game on the Atari 2600 (mostly the walking, victory, and jumping noise).

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
"The Buck Swaps Here" (originally aired May 18, 2007)

In the episode, there are two men carrying a large mirror - one is tall in green overalls and a blue shirt, the other short and plump with red overalls and a blue shirt. This makes the two resemble the Mario Brothers. Also, when attacking the robber, they shout with Italian accents.

"Destination Imagination"

The fosters gang enters a game very similar to Super Mario Bros. with snails replacing the koopa troopas and garlic/onions replacing stars and mushrooms.

Futurama


Episode 1ACV01: "Space Pilot 3000" (originally aired Mar. 28, 1999)

At the very beginning of the series' premiere episode, a spaceship is seen flying through space, with Fry providing a voiceover. It is then revealed to the audience that Fry is actually playing an Asteroids-style arcade game, just as he encounters a gorilla similar to Donkey Kong, except with overalls. Although Fry attempts to blast the gorilla with lasers, the gorilla throws barrels at the spaceship, causing Fry to lose. A later shot of arcade cabinet then reveals that the game is entitled Monkey Fracas Jr., probably as a throwback to Donkey Kong Jr..

Episode 2ACV09: "A Bicyclops Built for Two" (originally aired Mar. 19, 2000)

A Donkey Kong-esque character appears behind a pile of crates and is subsequently blasted by Fry while playing a virtual reality video game; additionally, Fry makes the same noise Mario does when he jumps in this episode.

Episode 3ACV18: "Anthology of Interest II" (originally aired Jan. 6, 2002)

This episode centers around the show's various characters using the Professor's "What If?" machine to show them various alternate realities. In the second act of the episode, Fry wants to know what life would be like if it was more like a video game. The machine shows a world where Earth goes to war with the Planet Nintendu 64.

At the start of the scenario, President Nixon is signing a peace treaty with Donkey Kong, who is the Nintendian ambassador to Earth. The Planet Express crew watches on TV, leading to a mild argument between Fry and Professor Farnsworth about Donkey Kong.

Fry: Wait a second. I know that monkey. His name is "Donkey"! Prof. Farnsworth: Monkeys aren't donkeys! Quit messing with my head!



DK turns on Nixon, however, and Mario, who is part of the Earth U.N. (for Italy), expresses fear: "Mamma mia! The cruel meatball of war has-a rolled onto our laps, and-a ruined our white pants of peace."

Donkey Kong then stomps atop the United Nations building, slanting the ledges across the side of the building diagonally, similar to the girders in the first level of the original Donkey Kong game.

Later on in the episode, the characters exit a Pac-Man-inspired maze through a Warp Pipe.

Towards the end of the episode, Donkey Kong demands for the citizens of Earth to hand over a million dollars in quarters over to the Nintendians. Lrrr then explains that the Nintendians need the quarters to do their laundry, and implies that Donkey Kong's loincloth needs washing.

The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings (aired August 10, 2003)

A kid used a holophoner (an instrument that when played, creates holograms) and plays "a stranger in the night". In the hologram, a man plays a piano, and stairs appear, and the man and a woman climb them. A barrel rolls down and the woman jumps over it, the number 500 appears and the "jumping over a barrel" sound effect from Donkey Kong plays. The man then also jumps over the barrel to the same effect.

Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs (released June 24, 2008)

Keroro Gunsou
Episode #126: "Keroro & Natsumi, Who's the real hero?"



To demonstrate a new "Reality-avoiding" device, Kururu and Saburo transported themselves into a Mario-esque game. It should be noted that various elements from Super Mario Bros. are used, including various bricks, a ? Block, a Warp Pipe, a Poision Mushroom look-alike, and a Bullet Bill knock-off. Also to note is that Kururu is dressed as Mario (Albeit with a diffrent hat and slightly edited overalls) and that Saburo is dressed as Luigi (Again, with the diffrences listed previously.)

Muppet Babies


Episode 85: It's Only Pretendo (Originally aired December 2, 1989)

Throughout the entire episode, the babies play several "Pretendo" video games, and imagine themselves as characters in them. During the first part of the episode, Gonzo pretends to be "Super Bario Weirdo" in a Donkey Kong-style game, which has a dragon named King Copacabana in place of Cranky Kong throwing green balls in place of barrels. He then imagines himself in an area similar to the game's third level, where he hops across moving platforms to reach a cupcake. Gonzo then finds himself back in the first level, where Piggy has taken the place of the King Copacabana, although she's actually just disconnected the system in reality.

Piggy then attempts to play Donkey Kong Jr., but fails miserably. Going back to the original Donkey Kong, Piggy pretends to be a "Baby Mutant Ninja Piggy", scares off the real Mario, climbs up to King Copacabana and defeats him.

After Piggy's play session, Gonzo goes through his Pretendo cartridges, three of which are titled Super Bario Bros., Son of Super Bario Bros. and Second Cousin of Super Bario Bros..

A little later, Gonzo and Piggy imagine themselves in a The Legend of Zelda-inspired game entitled The Legend of Emelda: The Quest for the Golden Key. Strangely enough, the music that plays at the start sounds very similar to the cavern music from Super Mario Bros. 2.

In addition to spoofing the games, actual footage of the games themselves is shown briefly.

My Life As a Teenage Robot


Two mustachioed, Italian brothers dressed in red and green clothing similar to that of Mario and Luigi, are recurring villains on the show. Additionally, they are named "the Mad Hammer Brothers."

Ouran High School Host Club
In episode 9, Karou is playing a Nintendo DS game, that has a dinosaur like creature, which looks a lot like Bowser.

Phineas and Ferb
In the episode "It's About Time", Candace says, "Where are we going to find electricity in Dinosaur Land". A reference to Super Mario World. Also in the episode "Gaming the System" the Mario jump noise is remade and heard a few times. The noise is heard again in "Brain Drain". The Mario coin noise is also in "Gaming the System."

Pink Panther and Pals
In the episode "Pinxillated", one of the arcade games involves The Pink Panther (replacing Mario) jumping over barrels thrown by an ape (Inspector Clouseau) to reach the top. This is a reference to the game, Donkey Kong.

Pucca
In episode named Funny Love Eruption, Garu is travelling to the volcano trying to calm it. At one point, he jumps on sevreal crocodiles, and writings as: 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and even 1-Up appear.

The Ren and Stimpy Show
Episode 1: Stimpy's Big Day / The Big Shot This episode starts off with a fake commercial, showcasing a boy who is offered a bicycle, which he rejects. The boy is then offered a video game, which he also rejects. But when "Log" is offered to the boy, he graciously accepts. The video game, although only a still shot of it is shown for a few seconds, clearly resembles Super Mario Bros.

Robot Chicken
On a certain episode of Robot Chicken, called "Halo Kong", they show Spartans from the Halo series going into Donkey Kong. They kill Mario by breaking his neck and they kill Donkey Kong by setting off a mine near Donkey Kong. The Spartans then rescue Pauline.

One of the segments featured a parody of the "Fast and the Furious" movie trilogy. Competing in the segments street race are Mario, Luigi and Wario along with several other pop-culture icons. Despite cheating by using the "blue tortoise shell" of the Mario Kart series, the bros. and Wario still lose. Additionally, Yoshi can be seen in the background during part of the race.

A "bloopers" segment in the episode "Massage Chair" had people attempting stunts similar to those featured on MTV's Jackass. One clip had a fight with people dressed as Donkey Kong and Mario.

Another segment features Mario and Luigi going on a series of misadventures in Vice City, which is among the ones featured prominently in the Grand Theft Auto video game series (though the setting resembles more Liberty City from GTA III, GTA: Liberty City Stories and GTA IV). After committing several crimes such as animal abuse (killing a turtle thought to be a Koopa Troopa), destruction of property, hit and run and possession of illegal substance (originally thought it was a Mushroom), Luigi ends up being killed by being shot multiple times by the police because he is holding a wrench and Mario gets blown up by the military, after going on a fit of rage to the sight of his dead brother (he kills some soldiers before being shot to death while yelling "You'll never take me alive, you mother--"). It is to be noticed that, as the brothers rampage through the city, their wanted level rises to five stars, while in Grand Theft Auto the maximum wanted level is actually six stars.

The short ends with Yoshi going down the same road the bros. did but instead going left at the fork in the road. He ends up in Raccoon City, the setting of various Resident Evil games after exclaiming, "Raccoon City sounds lovely!" (in addition, the sign that says "Raccoon City" also has the words "Residents Evil" underneath it). While driving through the destroyed city, Yoshi ends up being decapitated by several zombies.

Toad appeared in the Robot Chicken sketch called "I'm the Best" in the episode, "Due to Constraints of Time and Budget". In the sketch, Toad appears as the getaway driver for a group of robbers following a bank heist and had outrun the cops using his own kart from the Mario Kart series. During the chase, Toad used many items from the Mario Kart games as well including Banana Peels, Koopa Shells, Stars and even the Golden Mushroom. The items were easily accessed as he just had to press buttons in his kart. However he and the robbers were sent over a cliff once one panicking robber pressed the blue shell button which soon hits them. The scene is based off of the beginning scene from the movie Transporter. The setting at the end seems to be Yoshi Valley, as Toad mentions that the police wouldn't be able to find or catch up to them there.

It can be noted that "I'm the best!" is one of Toad's quotes from Mario Kart 64.
