In a sketch on November 7th, 2020, fans share their favorite memories in honor of the [[Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary|''Super Mario Bros.'' 35th Anniversary]]. One fan, Josh Allen, explains how his friend Jake Cook "popped" his testicles after a bike accident on the way to purchase ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Much to Jake's embarrassment, Josh goes into detail about the aftermath, such as how the two friends played ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' while Jake was in the hospital for emergency surgery (having his groin "sanded down"). Throughout the sketch, other Mario fans express shock and confusion.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHnM_2tqPmc</ref>

In a sketch during the May 8, 2021 episode, [[Wario]] is on trial in a Toad Town court for Mario's murder. Luigi testifies that Mario was killed while [[Mario Kart (series)|"having a friendly race with a go-kart"]] after someone threw a [[Banana]], causing Mario to wipe out. Luigi then accuses Wario (played by guest host [[wikipedia:Elon Musk|Elon Musk]]) of the murder. Wario then testifies that he is not evil, while his lawyer points out that his "Super Mario Wiki fan page" is overly defamatory. Wario's lawyer further claims that Wario is unfairly portrayed as a villain, playing the theme song from [[Mario's castle]] (the final stage in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'') as evidence. Wario then accuses Mario of eating [[Super Mushroom]]s as recreational drugs and then accuses Luigi of sleeping with [[Princess Peach]] (who is present in the courtroom and played by Elon Musk's partner, [[wikipedia:Grimes|Grimes]]). When Luigi and Peach both object, Wario's lawyer provides incriminating text messages and a video. Luigi, in anger, gets ready to throw a [[Red Shell]], but New York governor [[wikipedia:Andrew Cuomo|Andrew Cuomo]] steps in to stop the scene, reflecting that he and Wario are two misunderstood Italian Americans. "Please don't believe the horrible stereotypes you see in Mario World. Some of the bad guys are even called [[Goombas]]," Cuomo says. Mario then appears in the courtroom, revealing that although he had died, he still has three lives left. The sketch is revealed to be a PSA from the Italian-American Anti-Defamation League. Throughout the sketch, other Mario references include the judge hitting her gavel onto a [[? Block]], Waluigi being present in the room, Toads present in the room, and various Mario-based sound effects.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=jrTXBFcvoMQ&feature=emb_title] Wario – SNL</ref>
