**In some of the minigames, the titular protagonist must close doors within a time limit, similarly to ''Hotel Mario''{{'}}s gameplay.
**When the player talks to Munhum to complete his quest, he says at the end of his dialogue, "Be careful...'Where there's smoke...'...no, that's not the right phrase, ayye." If the player talks to him again, he continues, "How'd the saying go again? '...they pinch back!' ...no. Ayye, I forgot." Both are quotes by Mario from the cutscenes introducing [[Bowser's Seizures Palace Hotel]] and [[Wendy's Blitz Snarlton Hotel]] respectively (made somewhat infamous due to being one of the unofficial "taglines" for the {{wp|YouTube poop}} medium, "Where there's smoke, they pinch back").
**The book seen in the cutscene unlocked upon 100% completion contains drawings and words referencing scenes from CD-i games commonly used in the YouTube poop medium, such as drawings of a plate of spaghetti, [[Bowser's Sourpuss Bread|bread]], a toaster, and the word "NO" (all referencing cutscenes in ''Hotel Mario''), as well as the letters [[Mario|M]] and [[Luigi|L]].
