*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': When Mario grabs the top of the [[Goal Pole]] and slides down it for the first time at [[Picnic Road]], a [[Fireworks|firework]] shoots into the sky while an arrangement of the "course cleared" fanfare plays, similar to when the player clears a level with the timer's last digit at 1, 3, or 6 in this game. One of Colored Pencils' drawings is of Mario's death sprite from this game.

*[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]: [[Ol' Grandsappy]] is similar to [[zeldawiki:The Great Deku Tree|The Great Deku Tree]], even sharing similar names in the Japanese and Chinese versions. After opening the yellow safe aboard the Princess Peach, Bob-omb says, "Ta-ta-ta daaa!", mimicking the sound effect used when Link opens a chest with important items in several games.
*''[[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'' series: Mario can obtain a Space Warrior Mask in the staff room at [[Shogun Studios]], which is a papier-mâché version of [[Samus Aran|Samus]]'s helmet. When Mario tries it on, a variation of the fanfare for when Samus appears in ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'' plays, and Bob-omb tells Olivia it does not suit Mario's style and remarks, ''"It'd probably look perfect on some [[metroidwiki:Metroid: Other M|other kind of M]], though."'' Its description reads, ''"An otherworldly mask. Sadly, it won't allow you to roll into a ball,"'' a reference to the [[metroidwiki:Morph Ball|Morph Ball]] ability.
*''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'': When trying to recall the term "amnesia", Bob-omb mentions "Thinky Thinky Panic", a reference to this game's title.

*''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'': After Mario rescues Birdo in [[Big Sho' Theater]], she says that she has "Mario madness." The English cover for ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' features the subtitle "Mario Madness," and the game was Birdo's first appearance. Additionally, the Musée Champignon description for the [[Black Shy Guy]] states that it throws [[turnip]]-like objects, referencing the throwing mechanic from this game.

*''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'': The purple streamer chapter has many references to this game. [[The Great Sea]] is a reference to [[zeldawiki:Great Sea|the overworld of the same name]], and their mechanics also share many similarities. The player needs to collect three orbs to open the Sea Tower, similar to how they need to collect the [[zeldawiki:Goddess Pearl|Goddess Pearls]] to reach the [[zeldawiki:Tower of the Gods|Tower of the Gods]], and the colors of the orbs are also the same as the Goddess Pearls. When the player goes to Diamond Island to get the three orbs, the game refers to the trial as "the trial of power, courage and wisdom", which is a reference to the [[zeldawiki:Triforce|Triforce]] and the [[zeldawiki:Golden Goddess|Golden Goddesses]]. The Sea Tower is visually reminiscent of the Tower of the Gods, has a similar setup in terms of progression (self-contained floors with a major puzzle spanning multiple rooms) and has similar outdoor sections where Mario needs to climb the outside of the tower to proceed up to the boss. Some of the rooms of the Sea Tower are based on the four Vellumental temples, similar to the four areas of [[zeldawiki:Ganon's Tower (The Wind Waker)|Ganon's Tower]] that take on the theme of the four main dungeons.
*''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'': Peach's design from this game appears as a photo. Additionally, when Mario and Bob-omb interact with the steering wheel on [[the Princess Peach]], the latter mentions that he dreams of being an admiral someday, in reference to [[Admiral Bobbery]].

*''[[Super Paper Mario]]'': Peach appears in a photo with her parasol and a background resembling [[Lineland]]. Some of the [[Sammer's Kingdom]]'s OST is incorporated into the music for Shogun Studios.

*''[[Mario Kart 8]]'': Like in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'', Luigi drives a [[Standard Kart]] resembling the ones in this game.

*''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'': ''The Origami King'' runs on a very similar graphical engine to ''Color Splash''. The paint-coated graphic effect is used when a Toad aboard the Princess Peach is covered in ink. Mario can again hammer characters to temporarily crumple them. Princess Peach's design from that game also appears as a photo in the game. The [[Rescue Squad]]s return in the [[Battle Lab]]. [[The Emerald Circus]] and the [[Violet Passage captain]]'s pirate ship appear in paintings in [[Overlook Tower]]. When Captain T. Ode introduces himself after being thawed out by Olivia in her Fire Vellumental form, the [[Fortune Island]] music is reused, lacking the intro and bell quips of the tune. Additionally, steaks identical to the one fought in [[Tangerino Grill]] are found when T. Ode is freed. [[Bonehead Island]] looks very similar to Fortune Island, and includes multiple design similarities. The music on Bonehead Island is very similar to the Violet Passage theme. When the player completes Bonehead Island, a realistic fan that has the same appearance as the Fan Thing from this game (which actually originated from ''Sticker Star'') emerges from the sea and blows the mist away, similar to the scene when the Fan is being used in Violet Passage to get the ship to set sail. A [[Shy Guy]] with a straw similar to a [[Slurp Guy]] appears in the Tranquil Pipes Teahouse and gives Mario his straw. The [[Spring of Rainbows]] bears a resemblance to [[Prisma Fountain]], although in a more papercraft-like appearance. The way [[Bowser Jr.]] restores his colors from it also resembles the paint mechanic in this game. One Toad in Toad Town mentions that he needs to find "an expert on bridge experts", referencing the bridge builder and the bridge builder expert that appear in [[Port Prisma]]. Two [[Whistle Snifit]]s are found in the Spring of Rainbows' cafe. The way the basin crushes Mario in the Trial of Courage is similar to how the Basin Thing crushes him at [[Fort Cobalt]]. The faceless Toads resemble the faceless cardboard cutout of the [[Mountain Sage]] on the top of [[Daffodil Peak]].

*''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]'': A Toad that is trying to climb a cliff in the [[Autumn Mountain]] references the climbing mechanic where it is harder to climb when it is raining by saying, ''"But hey, at least it isn't raining."''
