 * The 3 Little Princesses, by Yves "The Bourgyman" Bourgelas, features Princess Peach and Princess Daisy as its protagonists. The two princesses hear loud noises from the outside of Peach's Castle, but realize that it is nothing but a bulky, exploding spacecraft (the Comet Observatory). They then meet Rosalina, who explains that her observatory crashed on the castle garden after a collision with a meteor, and that she needs "Cosmic Duct Tape" to get back on track. Since they cannot get her the duct tape that day, Peach and Daisy decide to entertain Rosalina, as well as themselves, with a sleepover party that is chock full of hilarity and Mario franchise references.
 * When I Grow Up, in which the Mario Bros. attend a pajama party at Princess Peach's Castle, where Luigi finds a Rubik's Cube that grants him unlimited wishes.

One deviantART user has even used the site to create a concept for a new American animated television series based on the Mario franchise: The All-New Super Mario Super Extravaganza!, whose title partially derives from the "Mario Extravaganza" title that was given to Super Mario All-Stars by its Japanese production team during development. The show is intended to focus on not only the adventures of Mario himself, but also other events in the lives of the Mushroom Kingdom's inhabitants. It has a diverse cast that features both established Mario franchise characters (most of whom have undergone redesigns of varying degrees for the show) and newcomers connected in some way or other to one or more returning characters. This series' originator also intended it to make up for what the Mario games traditionally lack in terms of story, with more complicated plots than its source material.
