At one point, Finn sings a tune that sounds similar to the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' "[[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]]".

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

In "But That Makes it Interesting, So Whatever", Okuyama makes an analogy that people do not play video games to save the [[Princess Peach|princess]] at the end, but rather because trampling [[Koopa Troopa|turtles]] is fun.

Ocho is a recurring character that appears as an 8-bit alien, and is used for many references to ''Super 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 [[Invincible Mario]], as he knocks over various other characters.

The premise of the later episode "The Uncle" is that Ocho has an uncle called Mario who has a [[Mario Kart (series)|go-kart]], is scared of [[Boo|ghosts]] and likes [[Yoshi (species)|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 appears 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!").

*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).

==''{{wp|Piggy Tales|Piggy Tales: Pigs at Work}}''==

In the episode "Sticky Situation", where a pig gets stuck to a ceiling of crates with glue, the pig bashes his head against the ceiling which makes cheese appear out of the top of the crate with the [[coin]] sound playing as each one appears.

==''{{wp|The Pink Panther (TV series)|The Pink Panther}}''==

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.
