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.

Fun Dead

The license plate on Edd's car reads "130985 SMB"; SMB is obviously short for Super Mario Bros. and 130985 is its original Japanese release date (September 13, 1985). Also, one of Matt's toys is a plush, white Mario doll.

Christmas Eddventure

The imposter Tom sucks up the ghost of Christmas past with a vacuum cleaner. This is another reference to Luigi's Mansion.

El Chavo
In the episode "Un Buen Recado" (American title/meaning: "A Good Message" ), El Chavo, Quico and Ñoño ("Junior" in the Engilsh version) can be seen inside Quico's house (La Popis, Quico's cousin, was also in the house but doing school homework) playing a parody of Super Mario Bros. where Chavo is Mario, Quico is Luigi, and (presumably) Ñoño is Wario. In addition, the game pads they use are identical to the NES controllers. Though the gameplay and background of the game are that of Super Mario Bros., the status that is seen on the screen, as well as the box for saving items, is a reference to Super Mario World. In the game, El Chavo, Quico, and Ñoño are all displayed as themselves with a mustache (and Ñoño with a cap resembling Wario's) instead of being portrayed as Mario characters. Señor Barriga ("Mr. Beliarge" in the English version) is also represented as Goombas in the game. When Ñoño reaches the flagpole at the end of the level, he inadvertently causes it fall due to his weight.

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
In this episode "Fairy Fairy Quite Contrary", 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 à la Donkey Kong.

Family Guy
In the episode "Lois Comes out of Her Shell", Stewie and his evil pet turtle Sheldon are fighting, and before Sheldon can kill Stewie, the fight comes to an end when Mario descends from the ceiling and stomps on Sheldon, killing him. He then tells Stewie that he "stomps on turtles", and that it's even though it's his life, it's not interesting.

In the episode "Boopa-Dee Bappa-Dee", Mario appears as a boyfriend to Meg with Luigi not too far while she and her family are stuck in Italy. Mario returns in the end of the episode to invite Meg to his place based on the end of World 1-1 of Super Mario Bros. Again, Luigi is not too far.

In the episode "Encyclopedia Griffin", Peter brings up an weird, secret (non-exsisting) level of Donkey Kong where Pauline ends up sliced in half. Mario and Donkey Kong work together to put the body in a barrel, roll it down a hill and come up with a cover story. Mario later asks if DK is related to King Kong, He says he's not and "Kong" is a common name in the woman-grabbing ape world. All the dialogue is featured in text boxes.

Fanboy and Chum Chum
The game Chimp-Chomp is an obvious reference to the game Donkey Kong Jr. and perhaps to Chain-Chomp.

In the episode "Hex Games", when Kyle asks where Fanboy and Chum Chum got Iceteroids, Chum Chum says that they ate "the flower". Additionally, the battle against Sigmund at the end of the game is very similar to the final boss of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

Fish Hooks
In the episode "Fish Out of Water," Oscar and Bea become trapped under a cabinet by a large cat. It is at this point that Oscar tells Bea that he is a "plumber" and she is a "princess." He goes on to say that their situation is like being in a giant videogame where the plumber is trying to get to the princess, but a "giant monkey" always gets in the way by throwing barrels. This is most likely a reference to the relationship between Mario and Princess Peach, as she is usually kidnapped by Bowser (or another villain), and Mario must travel through multiple levels to save her. In addition, the part about the giant monkey throwing barrels could be a reference to Donkey Kong. Oscar also says that the "giant monkey" is only wearing a tank top, which may be a reference to Funky Kong.

In the beginning of the episode "Doggonit," Oscar is seen playing a videogame that involves a yellow character in red overalls jumping across obstacles and fending off a turtle with a saw. The character bears a striking resemblance to 8-Bit Mario from Super Mario Bros., and the turtle looks a lot like a Shellcreeper. Oscar says the game he is playing is called "Kooky Carpenter Cousins," which seems to be a reference to Mario and Luigi, if one understands the "Carpenter Cousins" part to parody the fact that Mario and Luigi are brothers as well as plumbers. In the beginning of the episode "Brothers' Day," Oscar plays a game with the same yellow character and a Hammer Bro-like character.

In "Spiders Bite", when the fish are racing against the spiders in a drag race, and one of the buttons on Milo's bike is a Koopa Shell button, and he uses it to get rid of an angry cat.

In "Glass Man Standing", before Albert meets them in the hall, Milo, Oscar, and Jumbo read a magazine called Nintankdo Power, an obvious spoof of Nintendo Power.

In "Pool Party Panic", Milo, Oscar and Bea chase the fish tank through a dimension with a Super Mario Bros. style. They all wear overalls and Bea hits a block that produces a saw. Milo grabs it and uses it to defeat Koopa-style turtles. Bea and Milo enter the school similar to Mario entering the fort at the end of a level, and Oscar grabs a pole that hoists a flag.

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

Although Fry attempts to blast the gorilla with lasers, the gorilla throws barrels at the spaceship, causing Fry to lose.

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.

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. 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.

This episode begins 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..

Regular Show
Fortune Cookie This episode features a video game known as "Super Donkey Bros.", which would later make many more appearances. The game's title is a portmanteau of the games Super Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong.

Fool Me Twice
 * In this episode, Mordecai and Rigby watch a Japanese gameshow called Fool Me Twice. On the show, there is a mystery prize in a box that strongly resembles a ? Block. Also, the final challenge in the game show featured a Bumper Balls section.

Expert or Liar Rigby's reappearence on the game show, Expert or Liar, has him going through a Donkey Kong like obstacle course.

Rugrats

 * In one episode, entitled "Diapies and Dragons," Tommy, Chuckie, and Kimi dodge dragon eggs Donkey Kong style. Tommy also grows bigger when he gets a power up similar to Super Mario.

Robot and Monster

 * In "Grandma's Day Out", the howling cyber monkey is seen climbing a Donkey Kong like building.

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, called "Super Race". Competing in the segment's 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. In addition, when Mario and Luigi discuss using the blue shell, Yoshi appears in the background for a split second.


 * 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, "Mario Vice City", the short 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, which the police think of as an assault weapon, 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.


 * In one skit, "I Keep It Now", Donkey Kong throws barrels at Mario, but Mario takes one and leaves because DK does not know the value of his barrels.


 * 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. When they were hit, the word "BOOM" appeared below the kart, and the kart is smoking. This references to Mario Kart 64 when a player is hit with something other than a Banana, Green Shell, and/or some course obstacles and how they use many examples of onomatopoeia (such as "CRASH" and "WHIRRRRRR"). The scene is based off of the beginning scene from the movie  The 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.


 * "I'm the best!" is one of Toad's quotes from Mario Kart 64. He says this when he wins a race or battle.


 * Another segment features Mario meeting Princess Peach's parents. After Mario eats some mushroom soup, he sneezes and turns into Super Mario. Mario accidentally knocks a flower pot which turns him into Fire Mario and then he sneezes fireballs. Mario sneezes again causing a Green Shell to rebound from three Question Blocks and Princess Peach's Castle begins to collapse.


 * In the "The Ballad of Gay Tony" sketch, during the first few seconds, the Nintendo logo and various other video game logos are shown. In the top-right corner, there is a red logo which is cut off, featuring a "SU" over a "MA", a reference to the Super Mario logo. Princess Peach also makes an appearance, when Tony sings "Everyone's trying to save the Princess" another nod to Super Mario. The Nintendo Wii is also referenced. Bizarrely, even though the sketch revolves around sexually prejudiced game characters, neither Birdo nor Vivian make appearances.


 * Mario appears in "The Fattest Fat Loser" as one of the contestants, along with Miss Piggy, Winnie the Pooh, and Garfield the cat. He explains that he is on the show because while he and "his brother" used to be identical (referencing Luigi's status as a palette swap in the earliest Mario games), he has gradually grown fatter over the years, and if he does not shape up, doctors predict that he will become a grotesque, hideous blob. Barbie, the host and personal trainer of the show, calls him "Super Lard-io" to motivate him in the gym. Mario comes in second place in the "Trigger Food Wheelbarrow Race," losing to Miss Piggy; when Piggy comments on the heat, Mario hallucinates that she is actually his "mama's prosciutto" and tries eating her, inadvertently knocking Miss Piggy into the campfire that served as the group's finish line. He then tells Winnie and Garfield to "let Miss Piggy cook," and joins them in devouring her, growing enormously fat in the final moments of the show and losing.


 * Mario has appeared in his own skit, "Thank You Mario!" In this skit, Mario defeated Bowser. Toad says his line "Thank you Mario! But our Princess is in another castle". Mario jumps away. It turns out it was all a trick because Princess Toadstool said that Mario was a stalker.


 * Many other characters debut in Robot Chicken (Such as, Toadette, Birdo, Bowser, Waluigi, and Baby Mario) in the skit, "Mario Party". On a routine Mushroom Kingdom stroll, the bros happen upon a pair of multi-coin blocks. The two abuse the block's resources to buy a mansion, Go-Karts and to generally drown in debauchery, much to Bowser's disappointment. Reality sets in as bills pile up and the block's coins run out. With the mansion demolished and Bowser satisfied with his new wife, Peach and the Bros eventually turn into a stereotypical Italian family, as we see in a future scene.


 * In one skit, "Kirby's Secret Problem", Yoshi was talking with Kirby on the phone. Yoshi said he "was a pig" on this day and ate about 50 pieces of fruit. Kirby brags that he literally inhaled 20 enemies, and said he was glad that he exhaled most of them. A shocked Yoshi asked if Kirby was still doing that (Kirby promised he wouldn't "binge and purge" anymore), but then Kirby hangs up, saying he "does not need that noise" and then suddenly vomits out a Waddle Dee, who says "Hey, it's none of my business, but, you have a problem."

There was a Nintendo E3 event skit that starred Mario, Wario, Peach, Bowser, Ganondorf, Fox, Link, Toon Link, and Little Mac. Mario walked out of the event, while Bowser was trying to apologize to Peach for abducting her too many times. Mario later came back to help the announcer fight off the villians.

Scaredy Squirrel
In the episode "The Golden Paddleball", Nester wacks Scaredy with a mop in the similar style of how Mario uses the hammer from "Donkey Kong".

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated
In the episode Dead Justice, the Ghost of Dead Justice shoots bullets that resemble Banzai Bills. Drawings of the bullets, done by Deputy Bucky, resemble Banzai Bills even more.

Secret Mountain Fort Awesome
In one episode, Festro and the Fart race on a racetrack that is very similar to SNES Rainbow Road. Festro even calls it the Rainbow Racetrack. Another character, Dingle, rode on a rocket and used a fishing line to grab the Fart when he fell off the course, in a similar manner to Lakitu.

Seth McFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy
Seth McFarlane, famous for creating American Dad, Family Guy, and The Cleveland Show, has made a series of internet cartoons called "Seth McFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy", which first episode had a spoof of Super Mario. In this animated short, Mario confronts Bowser on a bridge over lava in his castle à la Super Mario Bros. After leaping over Bowser, Mario removes the axe, causing the Koopa King to plunge into the lava, and he runs over to where Princess Toadstool is waiting. The Princess thanks Mario for rescuing her, but rejects his offer for a kiss, as they just met, and that she doesn't want to make out with him. Mario explains that he merely wants a kiss as opposed to sex, and questions the Princess as to what he went through to reach her. The Princess concludes that Mario merely leapt a bunch of mushrooms (Goombas), and Mario argues that she was pathetic enough to get kidnapped by mushrooms in the first place. After Mario bickers about more aspects of his adventure, the Princess still refuses to kiss him. Mario then calls for Bowser (whom he refers to as "Dragon") to keep the Princess. Upon hearing this, Bowser leaps out from the lava, grabs the Princess and bites her head off.

Shaun the Sheep
The mini-episode "Shaun Goes Old School" (exclusive to Nintendo Video on the Nintendo 3DS) is a reference to Super Mario Bros., in which Shaun plays his Nintendo 3DS while re-enacting gameplay of the game, complete with the game's theme as the background music as well as sound effects. About halfway through the episode, the three pigs throw canisters at Shaun, a reference to Donkey Kong.

Shuriken School
When Vlad yells at Eizan by saying "NOW" in "Class Photo", he resembles a fuzzy from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

The Simpsons

In this episode, Bart wants the new extremely violent video game Bonestorm, but is having trouble getting it. After Jimbo and Nelson brag to him about their shoplifting, Bart observes that the display case housing Bonestorm has been left open. As he contemplates stealing the game, some video game characters pop up in his mind, the Mario Bros., Donkey Kong and Sonic the Hedgehog among them.

Zig and Sharko
The Island Tour

This episode is about racing around the entire island. It also makes references to Mario Kart. One scene features Item Boxes, with some of their powers activated instantly, obviously similar to the effects of triple items in Mario Kart 8. One of the item boxes make the classic Super Mushroom sound effect. One scene also features the race entirely in third-person view akin to all Mario Kart games.

Halfway during the race, Zig and Bernie jumped into a green warp pipe for a shortcut, and they end up in a Super Mario Bros-like level, when they have to jump from disappearing platforms (which make the brick block sound from SMB3), then they reach a checkpoint-like thingy and go through the warp pipe again. This scene once again used sounds from Super Mario All-Stars. Once they come up on the real world once again, Zig and Bernie continued to race using their scooter.

It is questionable how the company who made the episode, Xilam Animation, got the sounds from the actual game.

Sound Effects Heard in Animation/Cartoons
