*''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'': There is a bonus game starring [[Luigi]] available on the title screen, called ''Luigi Bros.'' It is played similarly to this game, except both playable characters are Luigi.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds0X4QkfeC4</ref> Also, the big [[POW Block]] on the very top of [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]] must be hit multiple times, getting flatter every time it's hit, just like it does in ''Mario Bros.''

*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': Some levels have tiles that resemble the ground tiles from this game. The main theme from ''Super Mario Bros.'' is covered for bonus areas and [[Coin Heaven]]s (whose theme comes from ''Super Mario 3D Land''). An 8-bit Luigi sprite from this game can be seen swimming in the background in Bowser's Highway Showdown.<ref name="Bowser Hwy">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3arXxOvp7U</ref> Additionally, [[Beep Block Skyway]] has an 8-bit Luigi, Coin and Super Mushroom sprites moving along the walls of the stage. Likewise, all of the Luigi sightings are based on his sprite from this game. In addition, the bonus area in [[Bob-ombs Below]] resembles Mario's 8-bit sprite from the game.

After Bowser gets defeated in his regular boss battles, the bridge beneath him collapses, much like the castle bosses from this game.
*''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'': Link's 8-bit sprite from the game can be found in the secret area of [[Rainbow Run (level)|Rainbow Run]].

*''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'': Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad are playable characters. The Mario Bros. and the Princess's abilities are based off of theirs from this game, as well as Toad's speed advantage. In addition, Toad having blue spots is possibly a reference to Toad in the original [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version of this game, in which his sprite appears blue. Doors have the same design and color. A cover of the character select music from this game plays in the casino slot minigame <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5UKysyDZEI]</ref>, as well as in the Coin Bonus areas of the game.<ref name="2-1: Conkdor Canyon">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsbP8v7LPnA]</ref> [[Bomb]]s also appear and are used in the same way they were used in ''Super Mario Bros. 2.'' [[Rocket]] Ships make an appearance. The two game's stories are also similar, with Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad going to another land and saving it from an evil villain in both games.
