An early mockery happened in Alex Kidd's final game, ''Alex Kidd in Shinobi World''. The first boss was originally going to be named Mari-Oh, a parody of [[Mario]]. However, it was changed to Kabuto (this name was later used for a [[Pokémon]]). There are also characters called the "Marxio Brothers" in ''[[wikipedia:Sonic the Comic|Sonic the Comic]]'', a British comic.

To counter these mockeries of Mario, [[Rare]] had Sonic and [[wikipedia:Earthworm Jim|Earthworm Jim]] make "cameo appearances" in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Although they apparently join [[Cranky Kong]]'s [[Cranky's Video Game Heroes|contest]] of collecting [[DK Coin]]s, Sonic and Jim apparently do not succeed in getting many coins. Neither ranks third place, and the pair seems to have fled from [[Mushroom World]]. Sonic leaves his shoes behind upon departure, and Earthworm Jim leaves behind his blaster. Both items are put by a trash can and labeled "No Hopes." Another (possible) mockery is the [[Harry Hedgehog]] enemy in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. Its blue coloration and rather quick moving pace may have been a mockery of Sonic; however, this may have been a coincidence.
