At the start of the scenario, President Nixon is signing a peace treaty with Donkey Kong, who is the Nintendian ambassador to Earth. The Planet Express crew watches on TV, leading to a mild argument between Fry and Professor Farnsworth about Donkey Kong.

'''Fry:''' Wait a second. I know that monkey. His name is "Donkey"!<br>
'''Prof. Farnsworth:''' Monkeys aren't donkeys! Quit messing with my head!

DK turns on Nixon, however, and Mario, who is part of the Earth U.N. (for Italy), expresses fear: "Mamma mia! The cruel meatball of war has-a rolled onto our laps, and-a ruined our white pants of peace."

A little later, Gonzo and Piggy imagine themselves in a ''The Legend of Zelda''-inspired game entitled ''The Legend of Emelda: The Quest for the Golden Key''. The music that plays at the start sounds very similar to the cavern music from ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.

In addition to parodying the games, actual footage of the games themselves is shown briefly.

==''{{wp|My Life as a Teenage Robot}}''==
[[File:mariohammerbros.jpg|thumb|"The Mad Hammer Brothers" in ''My Life As a Teenage Robot'' (2002-2006)]]
Two mustachioed Italian brothers, dressed in red and green clothing similar to that of Mario and Luigi, are recurring villains on the show. Additionally, they are named "the Mad [[Hammer Bro|Hammer Brother]]s", which might reference the enemies from ''Super Mario Bros.'' Being villains, they might be more modeled after [[Wario]] and [[Waluigi]], especially since the red brother's moustache has a zig-zag look like Wario's.

In the episode "Sibling Tsunami" (2002), the jump sound effect from ''[[Super Mario World]]'' can be heard as they are jumping in one scene.

They later reappear in the episode "The Legion of Evil" (2005) as members of the titular group.

The boss of the game also has a similarity to [[Bowser]], of which he is a fire-breathing lizard that rides in a similar vehicle to the [[Koopa Clown Car]]. After beating the boss, the coin-collecting sound effect can be heard.

In "Chuck to the Future Part 4", Chuck navigates a ''Super Mario Bros.''-style world. The short starts with Chuck, who is inside a video game for the NES. On his first life, Chuck comes across two enemies, which resemble a [[Goomba]] and a [[Piranha Plant]], but they kill him. On his second life, he eats a [[Super Mushroom]]-like power up and gains 1000 points, but he soon falls off a cliff, killing him. On his third life, he eats the power up again, tries getting inside a pipe without any luck and falls off the cliff once more, ending in a game over. Once in a new game, Chuck gets past the cliff and eats a weed power up, which makes him able to shoot fireballs, which could be a reference to the [[Fire Flower]]. He gets inside a pipe and grabs some coins. Back to the surface, he encounters Fastener, and steps on him several times, gaining a few points and 1-Ups, which is a reference to the [[List of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels glitches#Infinite 1-Ups with Koopa|Infinite 1-Up glitch with Koopa]]. Soon after, he reaches the church and completes the first level of the game. At the very end of the short, there is a sign that says "To Be Continued CTTF Part 5".

In "Power of Pink", when the Pink Panther (who is a plumber in the episode) uses a machine to power up into Super Pink, he says "What I'm about to do, I do for plumbers everywhere", possibly indirectly mentioning the Mario Bros. Later on in the episode, the Panther briefly returns to his regular plumber form and powers back up by eating a pickle, parodying the use of the [[Super Mushroom]] and/or other power-ups in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. Additionally, a plumber (the Pink Panther) powering up into a stronger form with "Super" in its name is a reference to the Mario Bros when they power up into Super Mario and Super Luigi respectively.

{{br}}

==''{{wp|Regular Show}}''==
[[File:RegularShowFortuneCookie.png|thumb|''Super Donkey Bros.'']]
'''Fortune Cookie'''<br>
This episode features a video game known as "''Super Donkey Bros.''", which would later make many more appearances. The game's title is a portmanteau of the games ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''.

==''{{wp|Robot Chicken}}''==
[[File:RobotChickenTheSack.png|thumb|Spartans invade the 25m course.]][[File:RobotChickenGoldDustGas.png|thumb|left|Mario, Luigi and Wario in ''3 Fast 3 Furious/Super Race''.]]
*In the episode "The Sack", there is a sketch titled "Halo Kong", where a trio of Spartans from the ''Halo'' series venture into the game ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''. They kill [[Mario]] by breaking his neck and they kill [[Donkey Kong]] by setting off a mine near Donkey Kong and then shooting him. The Spartans then rescue [[Pauline]].
*One of the segments featured a parody of the ''Fast & Furious'' movie franchise, called "3 Fast 3 Furious" (also known as "Super Race"). Competing in the segment's street race are Mario, [[Luigi]] and [[Wario]] along with several other pop-culture icons. Despite using the "[[Spiny Shell (blue)|blue tortoise shell]]" of the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, the Bros. and Wario, along with almost all of the other various racers, still lose to the decapitated corpse of Frank "Ponch" Poncherello from ''CHiPs''. In addition, when Mario and Luigi discuss using the blue shell, [[Yoshi]] appears in the background for a split second.
[[File:RobotChickenMassageChair.png|thumb|JackDonkey(Kong)]][[File:MarioLuigiInViceCity.jpg|thumb|left|Mario and Luigi being offered drugs during their trip to Vice City.]]
*A "bloopers" segment in the episode "Massage Chair" had people attempting stunts similar to those featured on MTV's ''Jackass''. One clip had a fight with people dressed as Donkey Kong and Mario.
*Another segment, "Grand Theft Mario", features Mario and Luigi going on a series of misadventures in Vice City, which is among the ones featured prominently in the ''Grand Theft Auto'' video game series (though the setting is more reminiscent of Liberty City). After committing several crimes (many of them accidental), such as animal abuse (killing a turtle thought to be a [[Koopa Troopa]]), resisting arrest, solicitation of a prostitute (who they apparently mistake for [[Princess Peach]]), possession of illegal substance (originally thought to be a [[Mushroom]]), hit and run and driving under the influence, Luigi ends up being shot multiple times by the police because he is holding a wrench, which the police think of as an assault weapon. Luigi's death causes Mario to rampage, culminating in a standoff between him and the military, after; he manages to kill some of the soldiers before yelling "''You'll never take me alive, you mother--''", being shot to death mid-sentence. The short ends with Yoshi going down the same road the Bros. did, but instead going left at the fork in the road. He ends up in Raccoon City, the setting of various ''Resident Evil'' games after exclaiming, "Raccoon City sounds lovely!". While driving through the destroyed city, Yoshi is attacked and eaten by several zombies, with his head falling off.
**During the sketch, Mario and Luigi's wanted level rises to a maximum of five stars; the ''Grand Theft Auto'' series does not use this as a maximum until ''Grand Theft Auto V''.
*In one skit, "I Keep It Now", Donkey Kong throws barrels at Mario, but Mario takes one and leaves because DK does not know that his barrels have significant cash value.
[[File:ToadBankRobbery2.png|thumb|Toad as the getaway driver for the robbers.]][[File:ToadBankRobbery.png|thumb|left|Toad and his kart rushing into the scene.]]
*[[Toad]] appeared in the ''Robot Chicken'' sketch called "I'm the Best" in the episode, "Due to Constraints of Time and Budget". In the sketch, Toad appears as the getaway driver for a group of robbers following a bank heist and had outrun the cops using his own kart from the ''Mario Kart'' series. During the chase, Toad used many items from the ''Mario Kart'' games as well including Banana Peels, Koopa Shells, Stars and even the [[Golden Dash Mushroom|Golden Mushroom]]. The items were easily accessed as he just had to press buttons in his kart. However he and the robbers were sent over a cliff once one panicking robber pressed a button that launches a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|spiny blue shell]] which soon hits them, as Toad claims that these shells seek out the lead kart (referencing its function in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series). When they were hit, the word "'''BOOM'''" appeared below the kart, and the kart begins to smoke. This references to ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' when a player is hit with something other than a Banana, Green Shell, and/or some course obstacles and how they use many examples of onomatopoeia (such as "'''CRASH'''" and "'''WHIRRRRRR'''"). The scene is based off of the beginning scene from the movie ''{{wp|The Transporter}}''. The setting at the end seems to be [[N64 Yoshi Valley|Yoshi Valley]], as Toad mentions that the police would not be able to find or catch up to them there.
**"I'm the best!" is one of Toad's quotes from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''; he says this when he wins a race or battle.
[[File:RobotChickenDepartyMonster.png|thumb|left|Selected scenes from the skit.]][[File:RobotChickenFoolsGoldfinger.png|thumb|200px|The Mario references.]]
*Another segment features Mario meeting Princess Peach's parents. After Mario eats some mushroom soup, he sneezes and turns into [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]], claiming he "has a few allergies". Mario accidentally knocks a flower pot which turns him into [[Fire Mario]] and then he sneezes fireballs. Mario sneezes again causing a [[Green Shell]] to rebound from three Question Blocks and [[Peach's Castle]] begins to collapse.
*In the "Ballad of Gay Tony" sketch, during the first few seconds, the Nintendo logo and various other video game logos are shown. In the top-right corner, there is a red logo which is cut off, featuring a "SU" over a "MA", a reference to the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' logo. Princess Peach also makes an appearance, when Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince of the ''Grand Theft Auto'' series sings "Everyone's trying to save the Princess, but who's gonna save the Prince?" another nod to ''Super Mario''. The [[Wii]] is also referenced.
[[File:RobotChickenPoisionedRelatives.png|thumb|left]]
[[File:RobotChickenMarioParty.png|thumb|200px|Waluigi's face comes from a TV-MA part of the sketch.]]
*Mario appears in "The Fattest Fat Loser" as one of the contestants, along with Miss Piggy, Winnie the Pooh, and Garfield the cat. He explains that he is on the show because while he and [[Luigi|"his brother"]] used to be identical (referencing Luigi's status as a palette swap in the earliest Mario games), he has gradually grown fatter over the years, and if he does not shape up, doctors predict that he will become a grotesque, hideous blob. Barbie, the host and personal trainer of the show, calls him "Super Lard-io" to motivate him in the gym. Mario comes in second place in the "Trigger Food Wheelbarrow Race", losing to Miss Piggy; when Piggy comments on the heat, Mario hallucinates that she is actually his "mama's prosciutto" and tries eating her, inadvertently knocking Miss Piggy into the campfire that served as the group's finish line. He then tells Winnie and Garfield to "let her cook", and joins them in devouring her, growing enormously fat in the final moments of the show and losing to her, despite that she died.
*Mario has appeared in his own skit, "Thank You Mario!" In this skit, Mario defeats Bowser, and Toad says his line "Thank you Mario! But our Princess is in another castle!", and Mario jumps offscreen. It turns out it was all a trick because Princess Toadstool claims that Mario is a stalker.
*Many other characters debut in ''Robot Chicken'' (such as [[Toadette]], [[Birdo]], [[Bowser]], [[Waluigi]], and [[Baby Mario]]) in the skit, "Mario Party". On a routine Mushroom Kingdom stroll, the Bros. happen upon a pair of multi-coin blocks. The two abuse the block's resources to buy a mansion, several Karts, and to generally drown in debauchery, much to Bowser's disappointment. Reality sets in as bills pile up and the block's coins run out. With the mansion demolished and Bowser satisfied with his new wife, Peach and the Bros. eventually turn into a stereotypical Italian family, as we see in a future scene.
[[File:RobotChickenTurfWarsBottleCap.png|thumb|left|Bits from 3 separate episodes: "I Keep It Now", "Thank You Mario!" and "Kirby's Secret Problem".]]
*In one skit, "Kirby's Secret Problem", Yoshi is talking with [[Kirby]] on the phone. Yoshi said he "was a pig" on this day and ate about 50 pieces of fruit. Kirby brags that he literally inhaled 20 enemies, and said he was glad that he exhaled most of them. A shocked Yoshi asked if Kirby was still doing that (Kirby promised he would not "binge and purge" anymore), but then Kirby hangs up, saying he "does not need that noise" and then suddenly vomits out a Waddle Dee, who says "Hey, it's none of my business, but, you have a problem."
{{br}}
*There was a Nintendo E3 event skit that starred Mario, Wario, Peach, Bowser, [[Ganondorf]], [[Fox|Fox McCloud]], [[Link]], [[Toon Link]], and [[Little Mac]]. Mario walked out of the event, while Bowser was trying to apologize to Peach for abducting her too many times. Mario later came back to help [[Reggie Fils-Aimé]] fight off the villains. In that same skit, Reggie also uses a [[Fire Flower]], which turns his clothes red and white.
*In the January 2018 skit, "The Smashing Games" (a double parody of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series and ''{{wp|The Hunger Games}}'', centered on the female [[Villager]]), Mario, Wario, and a [[Bob-omb]] appear alongside several other characters and objects featured in the ''Smash Bros.'' games. Also, ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Hockey]]'' are jokingly name-dropped as previous works of Nintendo. (Though aside from holding rights, Nintendo's only involvement with the former is publishing the NES version.)
*Another skit parodies the ''Mario Kart'' series again, this time by having Mario give a girl a driving exam by having her partake in a [[Battle Mode#Balloon Battle|Balloon Battle]] against Toad, Donkey Kong, and Bowser. While she succeeds in defeating all three using various items from the series, such as a [[Banana|Banana Peel]] and a [[Super Star]], she is forced to start over due to not activating her turn signal while taking a left turn. Mario tells her to "press Start to try again". The "Start" button is on his groin, to the student's disgust.
*In one skit made in tandem with Nintendo for E3, a [[Fire Flower]] appears, with [[Reggie Fils-Aimé]], at that time the head of Nintendo's American branch, presenting it to the audience before putting it inside himself, causing his clothes to flash colors.
*A sketch from "Spike Fraser in: Should I Happen to Back Into a Horse" reveals a [[Bullet Bill]] to be involved in the 1963 assassination of the 35th U.S. president {{wp|John F. Kennedy}}.
*In the episode "Max Caenen in: Why Would He Know If His Mother's a Size Queen", there is a skit called "Mario Golf" that involves Mario and Bowser playing golf together and having a casual conversation together. Bowser asks Mario if it was weird kidnapping Peach a lot in the past, to which Mario shrugs it off and Bowser hits the golf ball.
*A sketch from "May Cause Bubbles Where You Don't Want 'Em" has Peach break up with Mario in favor of {{wp|Timothée Chalamet}}.
*A sketch from "May Cause a Squeakquel" reveals a family of farmers to be living in [[N64 Moo Moo Farm|Moo Moo Farm]], where they get paid twenty thousand dollars to have Mario and his friends race a few laps on it. During the race, Bowser runs over and kills a few [[Monty Mole]]s, the racers set the farm house ablaze, and the daughter gets killed when she touches a [[Fake Item Box]].
*A sketch from "May Cause Involuntary Political Discharge" has Yoshi killing Mario and Luigi as retribution for abandoning him. A later sketch has a [[Lakitu]] rescuing Thelma and Louise when they drive their car off a cliff.

==''{{wp|List of Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals episodes|Rock Lee and his Ninja Pals}}''==
In the episode "We're Here to Welcome Gaara!", Lee decides that he and Gaara will first do kart racing, as he thought of it as a realistic version of playing ''Mariko Kart'', which is a reference to the ''Mario Kart'' series.

==''{{wp|Sailor Moon Crystal}}''==
In the episode "Usagi -Sailor Moon-", Usagi dreams that she is Sailor V after playing the Sailor V video game, with the setting of the dream loosely resembling the background of the 6th world in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' series.

In the episode "Science-types Fell in Love, So They Tried to Gather Evidence of Love", Professor Ikeda suggests Kosuke to find science in video games due Kosuke's research showing no effort. While doing this, Ikeda says that finding NP-hardness in games such as ''Manio'' and ''Pac-Mon'' (parodies of ''Super Mario'' and ''Pac-Man'' respectively) is very effective in doing this type of research.

In another episode, the beginning of the episode has Ibarada playing a ''Super Smash Bros.''-like game, playing as a boy resembling [[Villager]] whose name is "Kotarou", and is fighting against an ape strongly resembling [[Donkey Kong]] whose name is "Don Kong".

Seth MacFarlane, famous for creating ''{{wp|Family Guy}}'', ''{{wp|American Dad}}'', and ''{{wp|The Cleveland Show}}'', has made a series of internet cartoons called "Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy", which first episode had a parody of [[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]. In this animated short, Mario confronts Bowser on a bridge over lava in his castle à la ''Super Mario Bros.'' After leaping over Bowser, Mario removes the axe, causing the Koopa King to plunge into the lava, and he runs over to where Princess Toadstool is waiting. The Princess thanks Mario for rescuing her, but rejects his offer for a kiss, as they just met, and that she does not want to make out with him. Mario explains that he merely wants a kiss as opposed to sex, and questions the Princess as to what he went through to reach her. The Princess concludes that Mario merely leapt a bunch of mushrooms (Goombas), and Mario argues that she was pathetic enough to get kidnapped by mushrooms in the first place. After Mario bickers about more aspects of his adventure, the Princess still refuses to kiss him. Mario then calls for Bowser (whom he refers to as "Dragon") to keep the Princess. Upon hearing this, Bowser leaps out from the lava, grabs the Princess and bites her head off.

In the same episode, Narumi has a childhood flashback of her and Hirotaka playing the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], with Narumi claiming that [[Dixie Kong]] is hard to control and Hirotaka replying that [[Diddy Kong]] is easier and better because he jumps higher.

At a certain point, when Yang saves the princess, she says "Thank you, but the ''real'' princess is in another castle.", in the same fashion of the [[Toad (species)|Toads]] up until World 7-4 in ''Super Mario Bros.'' Yang later complains that he does not get any extra points, which might reference the lack of extra points the player receives after completing a castle in the original game.
{{br}}

==''{{wp|Zig & Sharko}}''==
'''The Island Tour'''

As this episode is about racing around the entire island, it appropriately makes constant references to the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. One scene features [[Item Box]]es with some of their powers activated instantly when touched, making them reminiscent of the effects of triple items in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. Notably, one of the item boxes plays the powerup sound from ''[[Super Mario World]]'' when touched. Another scene also shifts the race to a third-person perspective view, much like in the ''Mario Kart'' games.

Halfway during the race, Zig and Bernie find a green [[Warp Pipe]] to use as a shortcut. By entering it, the two end up in a sidescrolling level reminiscent of the ones in ''[[Super Mario Bros]]''. Several sounds from ''Super Mario World'' can be heard, including [[Brick Block]] sounds that play while the duo jumps across disappearing platforms, and the sound of passing through a [[Checkpoint]] when they reach the end of the level. Afterwards, Zig and Bernie exit the level through another Warp Pipe and continue the race from there.

'''Father in Law'''

When Zig and Bernie grab Marina and run off with Sharko and King Poseidon on their tails, the animation switches to a 16-bit style. Zig hits a floating [[Block]] and grabs the resulting bottle of ketchup. He then leaps over several enemies, including an [[Donkey Kong|ape holding a barrel over his head]]. Poseidon takes damage from a cactus and shrinks, prompting him to hop on top of Sharko in order to keep going. Sharko hits a [[Block]] and they both eat the resulting [[Mega Mushroom]], causing them to become gigantic. They subsequently mow down several enemies, such as a [[Piranha Plant]], with their size and [[Fireball]]s. They return to normal upon hitting another cactus then leap over a gap, only for Poseidon to get knocked off by a row of [[Block]]s and grab onto Sharko's fin to keep from falling. The video game sequence ends and the usual animation is restored.
