List of references on the Internet

This 2010 flash game is the sequel of Super Chick Sisters, to protest against various fast food chains once again. 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.

 * 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.

Mario Plush Videos
Due to the merchandise of Mario Plush Toys, the popularity of Youtubers are making loads of Mario videos that are involved with characters doing random stuff. Popular users MarioMario8989 and Super Mario Logan are most known on YouTube with making Plush Videos of both their series Cute Mario Bros and Mario And Luigi Stupid and Dumb Adventures.

In the episode "Cute Mario Bros - Summer Fun]", (MarioMario8989's Most Viewed Video) Mario exclaims that Luigi has played very good guitar playing but has nothing to do after playing the Wii & GameCube. They decide to go outside in the summer. They attempt to go to the park by riding a bike and scooter but fail. Then they arrive at the park and they do very stupid things along the way. Mario for example accidentally digs Luigi in the rocks. And trying to go down one of the big slides but thinking that they can't because they have nothing to use but finds little warp pipes tunnels. Then they attempt to climb a very high tree.

The Annoying 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.

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.

ScrewAttack

 * Being a videogame enthusiast website, ScrewAttack has featured much content centered on Mario and his games, including many Video Game Vaults, and top ten lists where things from Mario have appeared. Two top ten lists, "Top Ten Mario Games" and "Top Ten Worst Mario Games" are devoted entirely to the Mario franchise. One of the site's series, GameJew, features a man dressed like Mario. Another series, DEATH BATTLE!, hosted by Wizard and Boomstick, features characters from pop culture fighting to the death, while going over and comparing their history, such as weapons, skills, and backgrounds, then showing the animated fight. The fourth episode had a Goomba fight a Koopa Troopa. In the end, both characters fall in a Warp Pipe, the Goomba falling on the Koopa and making it hide in its shell. Red Goombas encourage the Goomba to push the shell in the lava, however, because the pit was so small, it ricochets off a block and knocks them into the lava. The Koopa doesn't stop itself, and also falls into lava. The hosts explain that the Goomba's stupidity and the Koopa's cowardice would both be their downfall. The fifth episode had Zangief fight Haggar from Final Fight. While thay are fighting in a building, One of them threw Princess Peach out of a window. The eighth episode had Yoshi fight Riptor from Killer Instinct. Riptor spits acid at Yoshi, but Yoshi swallows it, transforms it into an egg, and throws it at Riptor's face, blinding him. Yoshi then swallows Riptor, turns him into an egg, and drops him off a cliff. Riptor falls to his doom onto a conveniently placed car. Their reasoning was that Yoshi has a more diverse arsenal compared to Riptor's straightforward tooth-and-claw moveset. The thirteenth episode had Mario fight his Sega rival Sonic the Hedgehog. Both heroes used various Power-ups in the battle. Mario used the Fire Flower, a Hammer, the Tanooki Suit, the Cape Feather, the Frog Suit, the Metal Cap, a Starman, and the Mega Mushroom. Sonic on the other hand, received the Fire Shield, the Lightning Shield, ad the Bubble Shield, and the Seven Chaos Emeralds, allowing him to transform him into Super Sonic. Mario, using the Mega Mushroom tried to crush Sonic, but Sonic out runs him. The ability wears off, and Sonic overpowers Mario before grinding into his spine with a Spin Dash. Wizard and Boomstick explain that while their power-ups are evenly matched, Sonic has a distinct speed advantage. The twentieth episode had Princess Zelda fight Princess Peach. Peach casts Sleepy Time earlier in the episode, which creates a magical sheep that, when touched, forces Peach's enemies into a deep sleep. While Peach distracting Zelda with a fight with projectiles, the sheep falls on Zelda, lulling her to sleep. Peach uses this opportunity to use her Mega Strike, Empress Peach. She unleashes a powerful kick on Zelda that completely annihilates her head. The explanation was that Peach has a more diverse arsenal compared to Zelda, is more athletic than Zelda, and the fact that Empress Peach is extremly overpowered. In Gag Reel #1 Flowers Make You Fat, Mario appears onscreen holding a Fire Flower while Boomstick says that flowers make him fat by mistake.

Homestar Runner

 * 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. 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.". This is a reference to Super Mario Bros.. In the same toon, Bubs is dressed as Lou Albano.

Incidentally, Bowser never appeared in an original Game Boy game.
 * Halloween Fan Costumes '06 - One person dressed up as Homestar (who has his head visible from the costume) is next to a person in a Mario costume.

 * Most in the Graveyard - Strong Mad is dressed as a Thwomp.
 * Super NES - This cartoon was made in Mario Paint. Also, the page title "Super Homestario Bros." references Super Mario Bros.
 * Store Thank You Messages - The page title, "Thank you so much for to buying our crap!!" is a reference to the Super Mario 64 ending, where Mario says "Thank you so much for-a playing my game."
 * 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.
 * Email pom pom - When Pom Pom is pounding Strong Bad, various sound effects from Super Mario Bros., such as the Coin collect sound and the 1-Up sound, are heard whenever Pom Pom connects.
 * Duck Guardian - The falling robot heads resemble the original Thwomp and the eggs resemble Yoshi Eggs.
 * Email redesign - Strong Bad is shown playing a videogame called "Sundae Driver". When he catches a cherry, a message that says "Cherry Get!" appears. This is a reference to the infamous broken English "Shine Get!" message found in the Japanese version of Super Mario Sunshine.
 * Email comic (DVD Commentary) - In the Easter egg, Matt and Mike first mimic and then make reference to the 1-Up sound.
 * Sbemail 150?!? - One of the storyboards of Strong Sad's email idea involves Homestar wearing a Snifit mask.
 * Multiple Occurrences - The Horrible Painting (aka the "Rocoulm") gives people the "jibblies", which makes people jump around crazily in fright, by saying "Come on in heeeeere." in a similar way to King Boo in Super Mario 64.

IGN.com
On IGN's main website, if someone tries to access a link on the site that doesn't exist, then the error message will say, "404 Not Found Thank You Mario But Our Princess Is In Another Castle!" It makes a reference to Super Mario Bros..

Project Description: ''"Lego "Stories" is all about the fun of collecting, combined with the joy of building. Consider it "Mini-Figure" collecting, taken to another level, literally. The idea is small modular building 'levels' or 'stories' that each tell a 'story' (get the meaning behind the wording?) Each set (story) will be 125-200 pieces. It can either include new mini-figures, or be designed in a way to work along with, and enhance the mini-figures already produced. Each set will be its own theme, and they can be stacked to end up creating a large building. Set possibilities include a "Laundromat", "Server Room", (mock-up photos shown for these two stories)," Hobby Shop", "Memorabilia Store". "Book Store", "Grocery Store", "Bank", "School", "Mad Scientist Lab", and we have many more ideas. Also there could be special sets that are licensed. These could vary from a "Lego Store" to "DC Comics Offices" or even a "Super Mario Bros. Level", While simplistic in theory, the possibilities are endless. Also 'Add-On' sets could be added, such as an elevator, a Lobby, a Rooftop Garden, and so much more! We have started with the "Laundromat" & "Server Room". For every 1000 Supporters we get we will add a new level! "Every Level Tells a Story!" - LEGO Stories....

Project Description: "This Game Would be up to four players. The Micro Figs Would be Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi. Barrels Move two spaces each time someone Rolls the Donkey Kong symbol. If a player gets the hammer they can move past a barrel with no damage. If the player does not have the hammer they must roll the dice. If they roll a two you move past, If you roll Donkey Kong you move back to start. Whoever reaches the princess first wins".

Project Description: ''"It all started when I saw on the Internet the wonderful minimalist ad campaign for Lego created by the German advertising agency Jung von Matt. I decided to create something similar but adding as much detail as possible using the fewest possible bricks, and give them as presents to my_friends. They really liked them! So they started giving me a bunch of ideas and suggesting characters for this series. And this is what came out. I have organized them in 3 different groups: Movies & Disney, TV shows & Video games and Comicbook characters. I hope you like them too!You can make a Minimal figure out of anybody, but works better with characters that have a distinct colour or shape. The average number of bricks is approximately 23 per figure, ranging from the 66 bricks of Bowser from Super Mario Bros. to the 5 bricks of Dogmatix from Asterix. All the figures are made with existing Lego bricks but I have used Lego Digital Designer to create them. So some bricks have a colour that I think is not yet available for those specific bricks, especially when using the “nougat” colour. Given the size of the figures they can use all the Minifig accessories like swords, hats, guns, etc… Although I have tried to use “normal” bricks when possible to create all the accessories. Lego can utilize current licenses, i.e., Disney, Marvel, DC, Indiana Jones, etc., but other themes will require new license agreements. The idea would be to sell together all the figures from a specific theme, but they can be separated in two or three sets; e.g., the figures from X-Men are 14 so they can be sold in three different sets. These sets would be great as an entrance way into the Lego world, as collectable items or just as a one time present to someone who loves a specific movie, video game, comic… Right now there are 136 characters made, and counting. But as I have stated earlier the possibilities are endless! Last, I would like to thank Lego, Lego Cuusoo, and all the people who share their interests and knowledge through the Internet. Thanks to Jung von Matt agency also."

One of the themes is Super Mario Bros.

Project Description: ''"Hello there! Welcome to the world of Pokémon! Your very own Pokémon legend is about to unfold! A world of dreams and adventures with Pokémon awaits! Let's go! We need your support on the LEGO Pokémon project! Also known as Pokémon Brick Version. Pokémon is a media franchise published and owned by Japanese video game company Nintendo and created by Satoshi Tajiri in 1996. Originally released as a pair of interlinkable Game Boy Role-playing video games developed by Game Freak, Pokémon has since become the second most successful and lucrative video game-based media franchise in the world, behind only Nintendo's own Mario series. Pokémon properties have since been merchandised into anime, manga, trading cards, toys, books, and other media. The franchise celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2006, and as of 28 May 2010, cumulative sales of the video games (including home console versions, such as the "Pikachu" Nintendo 64) have reached more than 200 million copies. In November 2005, 4Kids Entertainment, which had managed the non-game related licensing of Pokémon, announced that it had agreed not to renew the Pokémon representation agreement. Pokémon USA Inc. (now The Pokémon Company International), a subsidiary of Japan's Pokémon Co., now oversees all Pokémon licensing outside of Asia.
 * Pokémon Brick Version

Project Description: ''"Sonic the Hedgehog, a classic game series, has entertained gamers for generations. This game was made by Sega. This set is made by me, but the Sonic the Hedgehog is owned by Sega. There are many maps and levels that could be made into Lego. I chose the most well known and classic level, Green Hill Zone, to represent this project. It is definitely the most iconic level in the game. Even some people who are not fans of Sonic will recognize it. Although Erector has made a few Sonic the Hedgehog construction toys, it is most likely that they only own rights to the Sonic the Hedgehog Racing Games, such as Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing Transformed, as they have only made sets from this game and the other Sonic the Hedgehog Racing Game. They have not made sets of any of the platformer Sonic games, like the classic one shown here from the original Sonic game. This means that Lego would be allowed, with Sega's consent, to produce a Sonic the Hedgehog Lego set without infringing on any agreement Erector may have with Sega. Of course, there is the chance that Erector has the full Sonic the Hedgehog Construction Toy License, but contracts end, and that is only a small possibility anyway. The Sonic figure is okay, but if Lego made this, they would do much better. Some interesting bits of information about this build is that at 2,095 pieces, it has a relatively high part count, but 1,695 of those pieces are 1x2 plates. If you remove all those 1x2 plates, the project only contains 400 pieces. The price count shouldn't be to high, as majority of the pieces are the 1x2 pieces, which are inexpensive in comparison to a lot of the other Lego pieces. Check out more pics of this project on Mocpages here and on Flickr here. You can also download this project to your LDD at the bottom of the project page. I made a youtube video for this project. It has a lot more pictures of the project. It shows the whole project and its part from different angles! Check it out here. Related Projects Deserving Support: Megaman is a popular game deserving to be made in Lego. Alatariel beautifully recreated some classic levels from the Megaman game series. Another fantastic project is the Pokemon Brick Version project by Kevinhink. He sculpted classic Pokemon from the fantastic game series. Vote to make this amazing project a set! A special thanks to Ragaru for the inspiration for me to create this project. His Super Mario World Project is fantastic, but sadly, it was archived because Lego can not get the Super Mario Bros. license. His rendition of the wonderfully classic game looks great! You can find it here. His Legend of Zelda project is just really well made. This brilliant rendition of the wildly popular game series is extremely accurate, and the sharper, Twilight Princess like look he is using for it is the way to go I think with The Legend of Zelda Legos. It has now reached 10,000 supports! We await the review results! Check it out here. Back to the project, There are many possible enemies that could be used. I made two Buzz Bombers, common enemies in the level. There are spike obstacles. There are trees and flowers. There is a background with a sea, a sky, and mountains. There is a boss battle. It is Sonic the Hedgehog against Dr. Eggman. There are platforms for Sonic to jump on. He then jumps on Dr. Eggman's head a few times to defeat him. Dr. Eggman is in his flying machine the Egg Mobile. It has a swinging egg. Dr. Eggman uses this to try to defeat Sonic. This means you have completed the level. You can connect and disconnect the 5 sections for maximum play ability. You can collect all the pieces. There are pins on the sides, so you can attach them in any order that you want.

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 LEGO 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".'' [Click Here For More Pictures And Higher Resolution]

Project Description: ''"This is my idea of a Lego card/board game inspired by the popular wii game Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It will support 2-4 players. It could include 4-6 different characters from the game, a set of cards for each, and the board. Here are some possible game instructions. The players would engage in a series of rounds, in which each player chooses an action. These could be to attack or evade by moving the character. Whoever wins the round gains an item. Whoever comes in last is KO'd and loses a life. Last person standing wins the gameHere is my board model. It is based on Final Destinanion from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. There are six spaces on which the players stand on. In the center/back of the stage is the item pedestal, where an item would be placed before the round begins for the winner to obtain. I will have more images up soon, including the characters and items. Vote and stay tuned!"

Project Description: ''"“The Simpsons has had hundreds of awards bestowed upon it. 23 seasons, 502 episodes (and counting), all screened in over 60 different countries. It has been named the greatest show of all time, and has achieved the guiness world record of longest running television series ever. Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie are possibly the most widely known characters in existence, and are considered to be more known than James Bond, Harry Potter – even Mario! Firstly I’d like to say thank you to all of you. Whether you’re the TV fan, inspired artist or LEGO visionary, thank you for visiting The Simpsons LEGO Project! My name is Brendan. I embarked on this project months ago when I discovered the amazing opportunity LEGO CUUSOO is and had been to Mojang – the creators of Minecraft. The world had stood together and rewarded their creativity. Here we have the power to not only dream – but to fulfill dreams. I realised then, that those moments as a kid when I wished for The Simpsons LEGO, those memories, could fuel a creative drive that one day, may let me achieve that dream. Today is the unveiling of this vision. The Simpsons is a very ‘collectable’ series. But the best memorabilia based on the series, leave some asking for more. The chance to build the Simpsons family home? How about the Kwik-E-Mart? Or the entire town of Springfield, filled with all the characters you know and love? That’s a fantastic thought! With your support, this LEGO project could move from something many of us have been dreaming for, into reality – sets for the Simpson in all of us. Together we should all hope to inspire and be inspired, to set goals and accomplish them. In this sense LEGO CUUSOO is a window into limitless opportunity – reminiscent of that first time you built something with LEGO and realised anything can be created! I’ve always been a creative person and dreamt about creating and innovating with the best collective minds of our world; LEGO, Disney, Pixar… Please support this project and spread the word about my wish to make this an amazing series of products! Anything is possible! Continue to dream, create and share. -- Brendan"''

Weegee
A meme widely popular around the Internet based on an odd sprite of Luigi used for the MS-DOS's version of Mario Is Missing!. He appears to have the ability to turn people into him by simply looking at him and the ability of shooting lasers with his eyes. A brother, Malleo was created for him. Malleo's power is super strength and he is often shown as an evil warrior.  Also appears a version of Yoshi, Yushee, Wario, Walleo, and Waluigi, Walleegee. He is often shown on Youtube in Spongebob Squarepants. In one appearance, he turns Squidward into himself. However, this new character named Squeegee after Squeegie from Super Hornio Brothers beats Weegee's glare and attacks him.
