*''[[Super Mario World]]'': The design on the Fortress-doors leading to the [[List of bosses|boss]] is noticeably similar. Yoshis reappear, along with the sound heard when mounting onto Yoshi and the drumbeat that is added to the music, similar to this game. Parts of the castle BGM can be heard in the castle levels. The sound effect that plays when the invincibility wears off is taken from the [[P Switch|Switch Block]] when the activation is going to stop, as well as the sound that plays when the [[Super Star]] power-up runs out. The [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9]] is similar to the [[Star World]] and the [[Special Zone]]. Also, World 3 has a switch that activates blocks to appear. This may be a reference to the [[Switch Palace]]s in ''Super Mario World'', without having to go through a level. Almost the entirety of {{world-link|7|castle|World 7-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}} can be skipped by finding the secret exit in {{world-link|7|tower|World 7-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-Fortress}} and completing [[World 7-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-6]], like how the [[Back Door]] can be accessed by finding the secret exit in [[Valley of Bowser 2]] and completing [[Valley Fortress]]. The [[Koopa Clown Car]] returns. World 4-Castle, whose boss is Wendy O. Koopa, features Skewers, much like [[6 Wendy's Castle|#6 Wendy's Castle]]. [[River Piranha Plant]]s resemble [[Jumping Piranha Plant]]s. [[Jumbo Rays]] don ovalic goggles like [[Blurp]]s and [[Dolphin]]s. [[King Bill]]s are shortened in length like the [[Banzai Bill]]s from this game. Some members of [[Circling Boo Buddies]] make the same facial expressions as [[Boo]]s in this game. Boos also circle around [[Ghost House]]s like in this game. Artwork of Mario jumping with a [[Yoshi (species)|Green Yoshi]] resembles this game's box art. Artwork of [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] riding a [[Yoshi (species)|Pink Yoshi]] resembles [[:File:SMW Art - Yoshi and Berry.png|promotional artwork]] of [[Yoshi]] eating a [[Fruit (Yoshi food)|berry]] from this game. Artwork of Bowser resembles [[:File:BowserSMW1.png|his promotional artwork from this game]].

*''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'': The animal buddy mechanics used in this game, are used on the Yoshis; players can only use Yoshi in certain levels, and they ditch him after clearing the level.

*''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'': Just before the main boss of the world, [[Kamek]] appears and flies all over the room, using his magic on the room and boss. Fake walls reappear. The room Kamek's battle takes place in is similar to the final room of [[King Bowser's Castle (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|King Bowser's Castle]], containing autoscrolling blocks that can be transformed by {{conjectural|Magic spell}}s. Kamek turns Bowser into a giant for the final battle. [[Bubble]]s reappear to protect players from harm, as they did for [[Baby Mario]]. {{conjectural|Darkness}} also makes a reappearance in several levels. The introduction to the castle boss theme is a shortened cover of the introduction to the boss theme from this game.

[[Bowser Jr.]]'s final battle involves a floor that can be [[Ground Pound]]ed to produce shockwaves, like the floor involved in [[Baby Bowser]]'s initial fight.
*''[[Super Mario 64]]'': "Inside the Castle Walls" is played inside [[Peach's Castle]]. Also, when the mini-game Power-up Panels is lost (when the player gets two Bowser or Bowser Jr. cards), the short tune heard when trying to enter a locked door is played here. In the same vein, winning a Toad House mini-game plays an arrangement of the course clear fanfare. The fanfares for clearing a tower, castle, or airship are rearrangements of the "Koopa Clear" fanfare. The bassline of Bowser's theme from this game is very similar to that of the outside volcano theme. When the player goes into a [[Warp Cannon]] or aims a [[cannon]] in [[1-up Blast]], cannon sounds from this game are heard. In both games, [[Chain Chomp]]s are freed by [[Ground Pound]]ing their posts three times. One Chain Chomp in [[World 7-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-2]] may be freed to destroy a [[brick]] wall and uncover a [[Star Coin]], which is reminiscent of how the Chain Chomp in [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] must be freed to uncover a jailed [[Power Star]].

*''[[Mario Kart 64]]'': About 30 seconds in the [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|Rainbow Path]], a cover from the [[N64 Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]] theme can be heard.
