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 Sunny). The Lemming children meet Mario in the Mushroom Kingdom as their good guardian, then Wario feeds him to a [[Piranha Plant]]. The sketch parodies {{wp|Lemony Snicket}}'s ''{{wp|A Series of Unfortunate Events}}'' book series.

The "Fabio Brothers" in this episode are likely a parody of the Mario Brothers, but may also be based on [[Wario]] and [[Waluigi]]. In this episode, there are other allusions to other fictional characters as [[Sonic|Sonic the Hedgehog]].

==''{{wp|Muppet Babies (1984 TV series)|Muppet Babies}}''==

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 has actually just disconnected the system in reality.

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.''

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

[[File:mariohammerbros.jpg|thumb|"The Mad Hammer Brothers" in ''My Life As a Teenage Robot'' (2002-2006)]]

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 Nutshack''==

In "Let's Meet Sonic!", KO brings up how apparently [[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.

A Disney XD bumpers features sprite versions of Pickle and Peanut racing each other with shopping carts, dodging [[banana]] peels. This is a reference to ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]''.

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

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.

At the end of ''Outdoors'', JJ uses a trash bin as a Warp Pipe, even playing an extremely similar sound.

 

In the episode "Blunder Down Under", the pirates disguise as plumbers resembling Mario and Luigi. Several sounds from the ''Super Mario'' franchise can also be heard.

==''{{wp|The Powerpuff Girls}}'' (1998)==

In the special "The Powerpuff Girls Rule!!!", one of the scenes contain the girls and a professor in a [[kart]]-like buggy, and they then fire a [[Green Shell]] at the villains up front in a parody of [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']].

In the episode "Bye Bye, Bellum", there is a scene where the Mayor jumps the barrels thrown by the gorilla-like monster Barbarus, and showing the points earned accompanied with an 8-bit music, as a ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' reference.

In the episode named ''Funny Love Eruption'', Garu is traveling to the volcano trying to calm it. At one point, he jumps on several crocodiles, and writings as: 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and an [[extra life]] appears.

==''{{wp|Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja}}''==

==''{{wp|The Ren & Stimpy Show}}''==

This episode begins with a fake commercial, showcasing a boy who is offered a bicycle, which he rejects. The boy is then offered a video game, which he also rejects; when the new hit toy "Log" is offered to the boy, he graciously accepts. Although only a still shot of it is shown for a few seconds, the game clearly resembles ''Super Mario Bros.''

*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.]]

*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.

[[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.

[[File:RobotChickenDepartyMonster.png|thumb|left|Selected scenes from the skit.]][[File:RobotChickenFoolsGoldfinger.png|thumb|200px|The Mario references.]]

*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:RobotChickenMarioParty.png|thumb|200px|Waluigi's face comes from a TV-MA part of the sketch.]]

*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.

*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."

*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.

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|Scaredy Squirrel (TV series)|Scaredy Squirrel}}''==

[[File:ScoobyBill1.png|thumb|The drawing of the Banzai Bill-like bullets.]]

In the episode ''Dead Justice'', the Ghost of Dead Justice shoots bullets that resemble [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]]s. Drawings of the bullets, done by Deputy Bucky, resemble Banzai Bills even more.

 

 

 

In "2 Scott 2 Pilgrim", The house Old Scott Pilgrim stays at has a cactus with four-stacked sphere segments, resembling a [[Pokey]]. Old Scott tells his past self that Old Wallace Wells' husband works at [[Nintendo]], meaning he gets every Nintendo game for free. Hearing this, Scott leaps into a pose similar to Mario's {{file link|Mario.png|iconic jump}}. The [[Heart Fruit]] from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' appears in an x-ray view of Old Scott.

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 the first four letters of the English alphabet.

In the ''{{wp|Elmo's World}}'' episode "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.

 

Similarly, the home media release ''The Great Numbers Game'' features a song that bears a striking resemblance to the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' theme.

[[File:Mariosethcomedy.png|thumb|190px|Mario and Bowser, as shown in ''Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy''.]]

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.

 

 

 

Several ''Super Mario'' games can be seen among the various games in the background of the game store scenes. These games include ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', and ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''.

Shortly after Homer's showboating makes him a laughingstock, a bus full of Italian-Americans shows up in front of the house while he is taking out the trash. Mario comes out of the crowd, stands next to Homer, and says, "Luigi!, Fast-a, fast-a, take-a my picture with-a the Internet marmalok!" Homer then starts throwing trash cans at him in the style of ''Donkey Kong'' until he finally knocks him out. The trash cans are based on the barrels, and Mario also uses a hammer.

[[File:SimpsonsTottallyFunThing.png|thumb|Fun activities like playing the same game with different buttons.]]

At one point when Kent Brockman is thinking about his past, he is at Chef Luigi's Pizzeria. Chef Luigi offers him a scoop, which is actually a plan to put his rival pizzeria out of business. The rival mentioned is Chef Mario's Pizzeria.

During "Into the Homer-Verse", the pixelated version of Homer uses the original jump sound effects from ''Super Mario Bros.'', and faces against a [[Bowser]]-looking version of Mr. Burns at the climax of the segment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

==''{{wp|Sidekick (TV series)|Sidekick}}''==

In the episode "Eggman: The Video Game (Part 1)", after completing his game, [[Dr. Eggman]] says, "Finally, a video game starring a pudgy guy with a mustache.", a reference to [[Mario]]. Later in the episode, Tails and [[Knuckles]] list parodies of popular video games, one of which is "''[[Super Mario Bros.|Super Plumber Bros.]]''".

In the original version of the episode, a screen shot from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' and another from ''Super Mario Bros.'' are displayed on two arcade machines inside Blanket's house. Only visible for a few seconds, they are part of a group of four arcade games with generic-looking cabinets and fake titles. In the HD remaster of the episode, all of the game screenshots are replaced with original drawings instead.

At one point in the episode, Sheila Broflovski checks her son Ike Broflovski's search history to see if he did any trolling on the internet. Though only seen for a brief moment, one of Ike's searches is ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''.

==''{{wp|Spliced (TV series)|Spliced}}''==

[[File:MarioSquarepantis2.png|thumb|Squidward inside the painting, referencing ''[[Super Mario 64]]'']]

In "{{fandom|Spongebob|Atlantis SquarePantis}}", during Sandy Cheeks's video game-themed musical segment, she goes down a Warp Pipe and into a room that has the same frame and background used during gameplay in ''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]''; the Warp Pipe resembles its appearance in ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. The jumping sound effect plays as she kills bacteria by stomping them, and when the gang is rescued, the losing theme from ''Donkey Kong'' plays.<!--What game is the jump sound effect from? The sentence as originally written didn't mention.--> Enemies that resemble the [[Virus]]es, a [[Spiny]], and a [[Wiggler]] appear as well. Additionally, when SpongeBob, Squidward, and Patrick are kidnapped by a large virus, they shout "HELP!" akin to Pauline in ''Donkey Kong''. Later on, Lord Royal Highness throws Squidward into a painting, a reference to ''[[Super Mario 64]]''; the painting even uses a ripple effect similar to the one seen when Mario enters a painting.

In OVA 1, Harris, Clark and Martin are playing as racers in a parody version of ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' on the [[Nintendo DS]]. They also later presented a [[Game Boy Micro]] to Eiko and Squid Girl, which includes a game called '''Super Eiko''', a reference to ''Super Mario Bros.''

In "Mindful Education" and "Jungle Moon", Stevonnie kicks their legs to float in the air in a manner reminiscent of Yoshi's [[Flutter Jump]] or Luigi's [[Scuttle|scuttle jump]].

 

In "Doug Out", Steven assumes the pseudonym of "Peter Pizzapopolis", donning a cap and mustache similar to that of [[Mario]], and using Mario's catchphrases "It's-a me!" and "Mamma mia!".

 

==''{{wp|Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!}}''==

[[File:Robot-monkey-nintendo-2.jpg|thumb|Chiro as 8-bit Mario.]]

In the episode "Let's Play Math Dragons!", an obstacle that appears in the first cave segment resembles a [[Piranha Plant]]. In the same episode, in the second cave segment, the tunnels they go through resemble a Warp Pipe.

[[File:Teekyuu 03 Sidescroller.png|thumb|''Teekyuu''{{'}}s parody of ''Super Mario Bros.'']]

In the first episode of season 3, "The World is Not Enough", Yuri, Nasuno, Kanae, and Marimo are going skiing, and accidentally enter an exceedingly difficult course that they believe to be the beginner's course. Immediately, the world turns a parody of ''Super Mario Bros.'', with a pixelated artstyle, [[Goomba]] and [[? Block]] lookalikes, and baseballs in place of [[Coin]]s. As with most jokes in the series, this is not brought up again (beyond the fact that Marimo has lives and gets a Game Over, though this is outside of the ''Super Mario'' parody).

==''{{wp|Teen Titans Go!}}''==

 

In "Legendary Sandwich" (the show's premiere), the sound effect that plays when Mario enters a secret area from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' can be heard when Raven summons the legendary sandwich storybook.

In the episode "Serious Business", when Robin is in the toilet, he is parodying ''Super Mario Bros.'' and exits a Warp Pipe at the end of the scene.

 

 

"The Self-Indulgent 200th Episode Spectacular" has a picture on the writers' wall of an 8-bit Monsieur Mallah modeled after [[Donkey Kong]] holding the Brain like a barrel.

"Nostalgia is Not a Substitute for an Actual Story" has Robin playing ''Super Mario Bros.'' with an arcade machine similar to ''Donkey Kong'' and the 1983 ''Mario Bros.'' game.

In the episode "The Gaminator", Michelangelo comments that a certain video game he and the other turtles are sucked into is the greatest platformer since ''Super Fabio Bros.'', a clear parody of ''Super Mario Bros.''

In the episode, "The Pulverizer Returns!", when Donatello discovers some coins that a Foot Ninja left behind, a coin-collecting sound effect is heard, which references ''Super Mario Bros.''
