When Henry touches the mushroom in this version, he gains 1,000 [[point]]s. Additionally, a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]] makes an appearance in this version's Retro Room, as well as two different-sized frames of the [[Tiny-Huge Island]] [[painting]] from ''Super Mario 64''.

===''Fleeing the Complex''===

*In the ''Convict Allies'' ending, when Henry and Ellie try to sneak past Wall guards Isaac Binderson and Heath Stone, [[Bounce Bros.]] is one of the options they can choose.

*Furthermore, in the ''Presumed Dead'' ending, when Henry is skidding down the main corridor while Wall guards Friedrich Spielen and Haroldt Cüper prepare to ambush him, an [[Item Box]] (known as an Item in-game) is one of the options Henry can choose. The roulette cycles through a [[Banana]], a [[Green Shell]], a [[Red Shell]], [[Lightning]], and <span class="plainlinks">[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/shoop-da-whoop Shoop da Whoop]</span>, before finally landing on a [[Boo#Mario Kart series|Boo]], which Henry uses to turn invisible and evade the guards.

*In the ''Toppat Civil Warfare'' ending, when Henry attempts to break out the Toppat members remaining loyal to him, "Toppy" (a clone of [[Cappy]]) is one of the options he can choose. If chosen, Henry [[capture]]s Toppat prison guard Floyd Winters to free his allies from their cells.

*In the ''Toppat King'' ending, when Henry and the Right Hand Man engage in a team-up attack, [[stylish move]] (known as "Style on 'em" in-game) is one of the options they can choose. In the same ending, when the rocket launches while Henry is still stranded on the ground, a [[Lakitu's Cloud]] (known simply as a Cloud in-game) is one of the options he can choose to return to the rocket. The cloud also times out just as Henry is about to reach the rocket, just like it does in every ''Super Mario'' game where it is rideable.

*Two Toppat members known as Marty O. and Louie G., who are based on Mario and Luigi, respectively, appear in the ''Triple Threat'' ending when Henry and Ellie crash into the Toppat Rocket's cafeteria, and in the ''Special BROvert Ops'' ending when Henry makes it through the main door of the rocket. Louie G.'s speech about the new leader is similar to the Italian gibberish heard in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' games. Additionally, their dance during the Diversion option on the ''Triple Threat'' ending is the choreography for [[Do the Mario]].

*Another Toppat member known as Konkey Dong bears a strong resemblance to [[Donkey Kong]]. He is only seen during the Diversion option of the ''Triple Threat'' ending, where he is seen performing Donkey Kong's main dance from ''Donkey Kong 64''. His character bio also outright features the "''If he shoots ya, it's gonna hurt.''" line from the [[DK Rap]].

[[File:MarioJustdance3.png|thumb]]

*In ''Just Dance Wii'', the debut title of the Japanese edition series, Mario appears on a track called "Just Mario" with the artist credited as "Ubisoft meets Nintendo", unlocked by playing all the other songs in the game. In ''{{wp|Just Dance 3}}'' for the [[Wii]] in North America and Europe, it returned as {{wp|downloadable content}} exclusive to the Wii version and was released in December 2011 for 250 Wii Points. The track is no longer obtainable in ''Just Dance 3'' due to the closure of the [[Wii#Wii Shop Channel|Wii Shop Channel]] in 2019. It later returned in ''{{wp|Just Dance 2018}}'' as an exclusive track for the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of the game, remade to represent more modern games in the series such as ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. However, an internet connection is required to play the track, which is similar to the previous Nintendo Switch-exclusive track, "{{wp|How Deep Is Your Love (Calvin Harris and Disciples song)|How Deep Is Your Love}}" by {{wp|Calvin Harris}} and {{wp|Disciples (production team)|Disciples}}.

===''{{wp|Sackboy: A Big Adventure}}'' (PS4/PS5)===

==''{{wp|Little King's Story}}'' ([[Wii]])==

*An item called Elytra (used for gliding) that was added in the 1.9 update has very similar mechanics to the Wing Cap from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Shortly before the feature was revealed, one of the developers even stated "it's like Mario 64".<ref>[https://twitter.com/_tomcc/status/651042141397979136]</ref>

*When an achievement is earned, "Achievement Get!" and the name of the achievement is broadcast in the chat to all players in the world. This may be a reference to the Japanese version of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', which features the prominent text "Shine Get!" when [[Mario]] obtains a [[Shine Sprite]].

{{br}}

==''{{wp|Plants vs. Zombies}}'' series==

In the quest that comes with the ''Conker's Big Reunion'' DLC pack, while running through the Tediz brewery, [[Conker]] must take a series of slopes with giant barrels rolling down to reach the second floor. The similarity to the ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' setting is commented on by Conker: "What's going on? ''[The barrels]'' never stop coming. Is there some big ape throwing all these barrels down or what?" He will later chime in, "Can someone call a plumber?", in reference to [[Mario]].

[[File:PXZ2 Mario Kart Reference.jpg|thumb|Xiaomu mentions [[Triple Red Shells]].]]

*The character Xiaomu makes multiple references to the ''Mario'' universe, and sometimes Mario himself.  

**During the ''{{wp|Ace Attorney}}''-esque trial, Xiaomu mentions [[Triple Red Shells]].

**During her post-battle dialogue with Aty, Xiaomu mentions a [[Poison Mushroom]].

{{br}}

==''{{wp|Ratchet & Clank}}'' series==

===''{{wp|Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time}}'' (PS3)===

*During the Plumber's sole appearance in Clank's subconscious, he is seen searching through a [[Warp Pipe]], which he later drops Clank into to awaken him from his mind trip; he refuses to go in because, in his words, "plumbers don't go diving down strange pipes all willy nilly. That'd be ridiculous!" (While not completely related to ''Super Mario'', also noteworthy is that [[Charles Martinet]] has a major voice role as Orvus, Clank's father.)

*The character Peacock features multiple references to other forms of media, especially old cartoons, but among the references are an attack involving the [[Goomba's Shoe]], and another attack involving a sword with a similar design to a [[Banzai Bill]]. When using the former move, she has a chance of saying "Here-a we go!" in a similar inflection to that of [[Wario]]; a selectable voice pack gives her a different quote for the move, in which she exclaims "[[Goomba|Kuribo!]]".

*Several alternate costumes present in the game make references to characters from other media, and a few of these alternate costumes reference the ''Super Mario'' franchise:

**The DLC character Big Band (who would later become a base game character in ''Skullgirls Encore'') has a DLC alternate costume exclusive to ''Skullgirls 2nd Encore'' resembling [[Wario]].

*The opening of Fukua's story begins in a scene where the character Filia (from whom Fukua's appearance and moveset is cloned) is shown sleeping in bed, similar to the ending of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' where Mario is also seen asleep in bed. The shades of blue used in the scene are similar to the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version of the aforementioned ending.

*In the version for mobile devices, the preview image for the Costume Party Prize Fight from October 1st to October 30th shows a zombie-like young girl on the right dressed up in a costume resembling [[Princess Peach]].

==Miscellaneous apps==

[[File:Leps world.jpg|thumb|''Lep's World'' is a typical app retool of classic ''Super Mario'' platformers, maintaining the same basic gameplay, but with new graphics and a different backstory.]]

Numerous unauthorized apps based on the ''Super Mario'' franchise have appeared; many are subsequently removed because of copyright issues, although others have retooled the basic ''Super Mario'' platformer premise (i.e. new graphics, power-ups and backstories, etc.) enough to remain active. These sorts of games include:

*''3D Cartoon Land Safari'', a slightly altered version of ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''

*''Secret Maryo Chronicles'', a game inspired by ''Super Mario World''

*''Banana Kong'', an endless runner heavily inspired by ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''.

The Android game ''Era's Adventure'' used a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] as the titular character, causing controversy among many ''Super Mario'' fans and Nintendo contacting the developer, causing him to change the character model to resemble a Yoshi less. The developer did not actually intend to copy Yoshi, for he was not familiar with the ''Super Mario'' franchise and just got the model off a stock site.
