Drake & Josh
In the episode "The Bet", several implications are made that the game that Josh is playing is a Super Mario Bros.-like level, most notably Drake's telling Josh to "jump the mushroom." Josh was probably playing Super Mario World, because if you have an item in your holder and a mushroom is grabbed, it will replace the item.
