*[[Nintendo Entertainment System]]: Mario owns the actual console and is seen playing ''Kid Icarus'' on it in the beginning of the film. The [[Toad (species)|Toad]] at the antique store asks about an NES cartridge, to which the clerk tells them to blow into it, referencing a popular real-life method to make a cartridge work properly. | *[[Nintendo Entertainment System]]: Mario owns the actual console and is seen playing ''Kid Icarus'' on it in the beginning of the film.

*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': The sprites of Mario, Luigi, and a ? Block (albeit in their modern colors) are featured in Nintendo's opening title with the original [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]] and the "Course Clear" jingle playing. Various sound effects from this game are used in the score, and the [[Warp Pipe]] sound can be heard several times throughout the film. The table markers in Punch-Out Pizzeria resemble [[Goal Pole]]s. The positioning of the building number, the crates and cans on the scaffolding, and the vent above them in the construction site Mario and Luigi run through resembles that of the first group of blocks encountered in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]]. After running through the construction site, Mario slides down [[Castle Burger]]'s sign as if it was a Goal Pole, complete with the sound effect. The Castle Burger building resembles the fortress from this game. The hole Mario and Luigi make after crashing into the underground brick wall is in the shape of [[Small Mario]]'s head. The mysterious pipe system in which Mario and Luigi find the Warp Pipe is in an area labeled as "[[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|Level 1-2]]". A screenshot of the exterior of a [[fortress]] can be seen inside the antique store, and a nearby barrel contains [[axe]]s. The store's "open" sign is styled after this game's in-game logo. The [[Toad (species)|mushroom retainers]]' quote, "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!", is referenced in the film by a blue Toad while trying to dissuade Mario from entering [[Peach's Castle]].

The [[Waterfall Area]], featuring a bridge over a sea of jumping [[Cheep Cheep]]s, is very similar to [[World 2-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-3]] from this game. In Luigi's flashback, the flag Baby Luigi holds has the emblem as the Goal Pole flags in this game. The Ground Theme, [[Underground Theme]], [[Underwater Theme]], Castle theme, [[Super Star (theme)|Super Star]] theme, "[[Ending (Super Mario Bros.)|Ending]]" theme, "Hurry Up" jingle, "Lost a Life" jingle, and "Course Clear" fanfare are arranged in the film's score. One of the reviewers on the [[Super Mario Bros. Plumbing]] website is named "anothercaserole", another reference to the mushroom retainers' quote. Another Super Mario Bros. Plumbing reviewer is named "dunnadunnadunna", a vocal interpretation of the main melody of the Underground Theme. | ||
