*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': When Luigi sees Mario's painting in King Boo's Illusion, the Super Mario Bros. Ground theme is briefly played. Also, the [[Fright Knight]]'s Ghost Container description states he was a knight looking for a princess, but she was always ''in another castle'', referencing what the [[Mushroom Retainer]]s say after being saved. | *''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': When Luigi sees Mario's painting in King Boo's Illusion, the Super Mario Bros.

*''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'': The mansion poster featured in the this game can be seen briefly on the wall during the opening. Luigi's house bears a strong resemblance to the [[Luigi's NEW Mansion|Rank D Mansion]] during the end of the game. In the first Mansion, Luigi opens the main door and says "...Hello?" in a scared voice. This is a tribute to the first game's opening sequence. The [[Toad]]s trapped in paintings is very similar to [[Mario]]'s situation from the game, but Mario himself is again trapped in a portrait. Boos also have names that play on the word "Boo" just like in the first game. Also in the later missions in the [[Treacherous Mansion]], and after finishing the game, Luigi calls out "Mario" when using the + Control Pad instead of calling out "Hello" or "Yoohoo", another reference to ''Luigi's Mansion''. E. Gadd references the [[Ghost Portrificationizer]] and King Boo's painting, and in ''Luigi's Mansion'', when he first meets Luigi, he says he "knew [their] paths were destined to cross". When he meets him ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', he says "he knew [their] paths would cross again". King Boo also states that his imprisonment in a painting at the end of the first game was his primary motivation for his actions in ''Dark Moon''. Additionally, several Boos in the Japanese version are renamed after Boos from the original ''Luigi's Mansion'', implying that they are the same characters. | *''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'': The mansion poster featured in the this game can be seen briefly on the wall during the opening.

*''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'': The Safe Room is shaped like E. Gadd's head on the outside, much like his lab on [[Thwomp Volcano]]. The [[DS Time Radar]]'s idea is re-used for the [[Dual Scream]]. | *''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'': The Safe Room is shaped like E.
