==''{{wp|Ajin: Demi-Human}}''==

[[File:TheAmazingWorldOfGumballTheTape.png|thumb|Ocho hitting the block in "The Tape."]]
Ocho is a recurring character that appears as an 8-bit alien, and is used for many references to ''Mario'' and other video game franchises. As an example, in "The Tape", Ocho hits a gigantic, yellow block similar to a [[? Block]] to get cash for a vending machine. During gym class, he also uses a cheat which gives him a rainbow appearance and speeds him up, similar to a [[Super Star]].

The premise of the "The Uncle", a later episode, is that Ocho has an uncle called Mario who has a [[Mario Kart|go-kart]], is scared of [[Boo|ghosts]] and likes [[Yoshi|dinosaurs]], stars and princesses; Gumball takes this to mean that his uncle is the same Mario from the video games; in his excitement, he goes around Elmore jumping over people's heads and entering pipes, with similar melodies such as one close to the Level Clear theme from ''Super Mario Bros.'' playing, and even repeating Mario's catchphrases (e.g. "Yahoo!" and "Let's-a go!"). Later, Ocho's Uncle Mario actually appearst playing [[Mario Golf (series)|golf]] with Ocho, wearing an outfit similar to the actual Mario and a vaguely similar saying to his catchphrase ("Hey, it's me, Mario" instead of "It's a-me, Mario!").

Other references made on the show are listed as follows:

*In "The Drama", when Gumball and Darwin jump off of Dolphin Man to get to the freeway, Darwin says "Sweet Christmas, you totally Yoshi’d that poor guy", directly referencing the ability to jump off Yoshi in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', which is often done to gain a second jump while over a pit (usually causing Yoshi to fall in).

In the beginning of the episode "Brothers' Day", Oscar plays a game with the same yellow character and a [[Hammer Bro]]-like character.

In "Spiders Bite", when the fish are racing against the spiders in a drag race, one of the buttons on Milo's bike is a [[Koopa Shell]] button, and he uses it to get rid of an angry cat.

In "Glass Man Standing", before Albert meets them in the hall, Milo, Oscar, and Jumbo read a magazine called ''Nintankdo Power'', an obvious spoof of ''[[Nintendo Power]]''.

(series)|''Super Smash Bros.'']]-esque fight, with Pit winning. Curiously, this sketch was first premiered September 27, 2012, 2 years before the release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', which features Mega Man as a playable character, and multiplayer with up to 8 players.

In '''Lemming Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Video Game Deaths''', Wario appears as an evil guardian (although he is considered an anti-villain nowadays) to three orphaned Lemmings (Violet, Klaus, and Sonny). The Lemming children meet Mario in World 1-1 as their good guardian, then Wario feeds him to a [[Piranha Plant]]. The sketch parodies [[wikipedia:Lemony Snicket|Lemony Snicket]]'s ''[[wikipedia:A Series of Unfortunate Events|A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'' book series.

In '''Here Comes the Doom / Brain Purge''', a skit named "[[Koopa Troopa]], [[wikipedia:Guts Man|Guts Man]] & [[wikirby:Kracko|Kracko]]" features the three characters helping video game enemies to protect themselves from heroes' attacks. One of the heroes is Mario, who has his look from the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] and a blue cap. Bowser and Peach also appear at the beginning of the skit.

"The Shellmet" is a segment in '''George Washington: Cherry Tree Chopper / Star Wars Earned Stripes'''. At one point, Mario jumps on the boy wearing the advertised product, mistaking it for a [[Koopa Troopa]]. The commercial states that the product's side effects include "getting attacked by plumbers".

[[File:Morty_yoshi.png|thumb|Morty Fieldmouse parodying Yoshi's [[swallow]] technique.]]
In "Tokyo Go", when the train that Mickey is riding on top of enters a tunnel, it briefly looks like an 8-bit video game, with Mickey Mouse collecting [[Coin]]s in the same way Mario would in ''Super Mario Bros.'', complete with 8-bit coin and [[Super Mushroom]] sound effects. When it enters back in the normal cartoon, Mickey throws away the coins (not knowing what to do with them), to jump onto the Blue Train. In "Down the Hatch", when Mickey and Goofy are being shrunk, then spin around in a manner similar to Mario's death animation from ''Donkey Kong''.

In "The Scariest Story Ever: A Mickey Mouse Halloween Spooktacular", Morty Fieldmouse dresses up as a Godzilla-like kaiju. His costume helps strengthen a reference to [[Yoshi]] when throws his Halloween candy in the air and catches it in his mouth with a lash of his tongue.

'''Episode 85: It's Only Pretendo''' (Originally aired December 2, 1989)

Throughout the entire episode, the babies play several "Pretendo" video games, and imagine themselves as characters in them. During the first part of the episode, Gonzo pretends to be "Super Bario Weirdo" in a ''Donkey Kong''-style game, which has a dragon named King Copacabana in place of Cranky Kong throwing green balls in place of barrels. He then imagines himself in an area similar to the game's third level, where he hops across moving platforms to reach a cupcake. Gonzo then finds himself back in the first level, where Piggy has taken the place of the King Copacabana, although she's actually just disconnected the system in reality.

Piggy then attempts to play ''Donkey Kong Jr.'', but fails miserably. Going back to the original ''Donkey Kong'', Piggy pretends to be a "Baby Mutant Ninja Piggy", scares off the real Mario, climbs up to King Copacabana and defeats him.

After Piggy's play session, Gonzo goes through his Pretendo cartridges, three of which are titled ''Super Bario Bros.'', ''Son of Super Bario Bros.'' and ''Second Cousin of Super Bario Bros.''.

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 spoofing the games, actual footage of the games themselves is shown briefly.

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 "Legion of Evil", the jump sound effect from ''[[Super Mario World]]'' can be heard as they are jumping in one scene.

In "Let's Meet Sonic!", KO brings up how apparently [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] won both [[Mario & Sonic (series)|the Summer and Winter sports games]], accompanied by a crude drawing of Sonic having beat a depressed-looking Mario.

==''{{wp|Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt}}''==
In "Excretion Without Honor or Humanity", there is a picture of a plumber on the Grenshaw Plumbers truck who looks somewhat like Mario.

In "The Stripping", a playboy at the casino was cuddling with two Playboy Girls who resemble Peach and Daisy.

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". Part 5 of the "Chuck to the Future" series was released as an image on May 27th, 2011 on the Gainax website's front page. The image itself features various screenshots of the fictional ''Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt'' 8-bit game.

In the episode "Yeti 'Nother Bigfoot Story," when the Pink Panther plays a video game on a Game Boy-like console, sounds similar to the fireball and jump sound effects from ''Super Mario Bros.'' can be heard.

In "Power of Pink", when the Pink Panther 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. 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.

[[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''. 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 and the Furious'' movie trilogy, 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|right|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|right|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 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 ''[[Wikipedia:The Transporter|The Transporter]]''. The setting at the end seems to be [[Yoshi Valley]], as Toad mentions that the police wouldn't 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|right|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, 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 Princess Peach's Castle begins to collapse.

*In the "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 (form)|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 Nintendo Wii is also referenced.

[[File:RobotChickenPoisionedRelatives.png|thumb|left]]
[[File:RobotChickenMarioParty.png|thumb|right|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 Take 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 wouldn't "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, 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.

==''[[Wikipedia:Sesame Street|Sesame Street]]''==
In a 50-minute length ''Sesame Street'' DVD, "Elmo's Alphabet Challenge", there is a parody of ''Super Mario Bros.'' called, "''Super Mustachio Brothers''", which is the first challenge A-B-C-More competes, along with Abby to find things that start with "A", "B", "C", and "D".

In episode 4504, two people are seen wearing Mario costumes at "Numeric Con" wearing number 2's on their chests.

In Elmo's World: Computers, Dorothy, Elmo's pet goldfish, imagines Elmo in a computer game. The soundtrack of said game becomes an indirect parody of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' theme.

Seth MacFarlane, famous for creating [[wikipedia:Family Guy|''Family Guy'']], [[wikipedia:American Dad|''American Dad'']], and [[wikipedia:The Cleveland Show|''The Cleveland Show'']], has made a series of internet cartoons called "Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy", which first episode had a spoof 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 doesn't 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 this episode, Bart wants the new extremely violent video game ''Bonestorm'', but is having trouble getting it. After Jimbo and Nelson brag to him about their shoplifting, Bart observes that the display case housing ''Bonestorm'' has been left open. As he contemplates stealing the game, some video game characters pop up in his mind, the Mario Bros., Donkey Kong and Sonic the Hedgehog among them.

:'''Luigi:''' Go ahead-a, Bart, take-a the Bonestorm.
:'''Mario:''' The store, she's so rich. She'll-a never notice.
:'''Donkey Kong:''' Duh, it's the company's fault for making you want it so much.

'''The Island Tour'''

This episode is about racing around the entire island. It also makes references to ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]''. One scene features [[Item Box]]es, with some of their powers activated instantly, obviously similar to the effects of triple items in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. One of the item boxes makes the classic [[Super Mushroom]] sound effect. One scene also features the race entirely in third-person view akin to all ''Mario Kart'' games.

Halfway during the race, Zig and Bernie jump into a green warp pipe for a shortcut, and they end up in a ''Super Mario Bros.''-like level, where they have to jump from disappearing platforms (which make the [[Brick Block]] sound from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''), then they reach a checkpoint-like thingy and go through the warp pipe again. This scene once again used sounds from ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''.

'''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.

==Sound effects heard in animation/cartoons==
Sound effects from ''Mario'' games are also fairly common in modern animated series, particularly those with scenes that involve arcades, video game systems, or computers. This is due to some of those sounds being in the public domain, such as sounds from the Atari port of ''Donkey Kong''. Here is a list of animated TV shows where ''Mario'' sound effects can be heard (listed in alphabetical order).
