When Adam, Nick, Jacob, and Lou unwittingly travel back in time to 1986, they notice a lot of technology and media that was popular at the time, including someone playing an arcade cabinet that displays the logo for ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. While ''[[VS. Super Mario Bros.]]'' was an arcade game released in 1986, ''New Super Mario Bros.'' was a [[Nintendo DS]] game released in 2006. The artwork featuring [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] was also pulled from different sources, with Mario being from ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' (released in Japan in 1986, albeit not for an arcade cabinet), and Luigi being from the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (pinball)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' pinball machine (released in 1992). The Red Band trailer for the film also features a deleted scene in which the main characters are playing a ''Super Mario Bros.'' arcade cabinet, with a ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' cabinet to the side.<ref>"asskakakaka". (25 February 2010). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=561ouGGhR64 Hot Tub Time Machine - Red Band Trailer]. Retrieved October 30, 2016.</ref> The game can be clearly seen, and the [[Game Over]] jingle is audible. The artwork on the side is also anachronistic, displaying the same art of Mario and Luigi, as well as Princess Peach and Bowser (who use their modern designs, which first appeared in 1986, but in illustrations from more contemporary games), and [[Yoshi]] (a character who did not materialize until the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] game ''Super Mario World'', released in 1990).

Steve Wiebe actually plays the game ''Donkey Kong'', but he plays it in a ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' cabinet. In 2018, Mitchell was found to have used modified software, and all of his records, including in ''Donkey Kong'', have since been revoked.<ref>https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/12/601867538/game-of-thrown-barrels-in-shocking-twist-scandal-fells-donkey-kong-royalty</ref>

Early in the film, Mario as he appears in ''Super Mario Bros.'' can be seen on Ludlow's shirt, and later on in the film during the final battle scene, Mario can be seen chasing a man across the screen (in his original ''Donkey Kong'' form).

Mario was originally going to appear in the post-credits scene as the last surviving Pixel standing on top of a damaged Washington Monument, but this was later cut out, and is not present in the released version of the film.<ref>https://screencrush.com/pixels-super-mario/</ref>

==''{{wp|Playmobil: The Movie}}''==
In one scene, while Charlie is looking at the Playmobil figurines in the toy convention, a ? Block from ''Super Mario Bros.'' can be seen in the background.

==''{{wp|Ralph Breaks the Internet}}''==
8-bit [[? Block]]s with designs based on those from ''Super Mario Bros.'' can be seen in J.P. Spamley's base of operations as well as when Ralph is searching for his medal. An icon resembling a Super Mushroom also appears.<ref>Walt Disney Animation Studios. (September 20, 2018). [https://youtu.be/T73h5bmD8Dc Ralph Breaks the Internet | Official Trailer 2]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved September 21, 2018.</ref> 

Near the end of the movie, after Ralph obtains an insecurity virus named "Arthur" from Double Dan to try and sabotage the game ''Slaughter Race'' to try to persuade Vanellope to leave the Internet and return to the arcade with him, just right before Arthur finds Vanellope and scans her insecurities to destroy the game, Vanellope briefly sees an inflatable gorilla resembling Ralph. This could be a possible reference to Donkey Kong, whom Ralph appears to be based off of.

In an interview, director Rich Moore stated that if a sequel to ''Wreck-It Ralph'' were to be produced, he intended to give Mario an actual role.<ref>Clevver Movies. (December 7, 2012).

==''{{wikia|rugrats|Rugrats in Paris: The Movie}}''==
The way Jeane Claude's Robo-Snail mech swings the Reptar mech is similar to Mario swinging Bowser from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.

==''{{wp|Scott Pilgrim vs. the World}}''==
Young Neil is heard playing ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' on his Nintendo DS at one point. As in the [[List of Mario references in publications#Scott Pilgrim|graphic novel]] the film is based on, the band Scott plays in is named "Sex [[Bob-omb]]", and ''Super Mario 64'' was the inspiration for the star-emblazoned doors that Ramona uses to enter subspace (similar to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'').

==''{{wp|Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse}}''==
During the scene where {{wp|Miles Morales}} is fighting {{wp|Kingpin (character)|Kingpin}}, the former grabs the latter, before swinging Kingpin in multiple circles and tossing him away into an electric forcefield, similar to the throw Mario uses against Bowser in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario 64 DS''.

In the car, Tim Avery was playing ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' on the track [[Peach Circuit]] as Luigi.

==''{{wp|Sonic the Hedgehog (2020 film)|Sonic the Hedgehog}}''==
In the Thai dub of the film, when [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and Tom Wachowski are in a hotel room, Tom says, "''At least you can have a mushroom forever.''" to which Sonic responds, "''No. I'm not Mario.''" The original English dialog, where Tom says "''At least you won't be the only "fun-guy."''" and Sonic responds "''No. Don't ever do that again.''", is hard to translate in the Thai language, so the joke was changed into a reference.<ref>Smez Prakezz.

Retrieved November 18, 2020.</ref> In context, they are referring to a subplot in the film where Sonic needs to use one of his rings to escape to a mushroom planet. Sonic's disdain of mushrooms may itself be a reference to Nintendo and [[Sega]]'s rivalry in the 90's, when Mario and Sonic were in direct competition as leading video game mascots.

==''Video Game Invasion: The History of a Global Obsession''==
The documentary mentions several entries from the ''Mario'' franchise among the games it covers; a polygon-to-finished 3D model of Diddy Kong walking is shown, sound effects from ''Super Mario World'' (specifically the sound of the [[Koopa Clown Car]] returning) are played, and plushes of Mario and Donkey Kong are displayed.

The climax of ''The Wizard'' is known for featuring ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' as the final game in the Video Armageddon tournament. ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' is also played in the film.

==''{{wp|Wreck-It Ralph}}''==
[[File:Bowserwreckitralph.png|thumb|200px|Bowser, [[Dr. Eggman]], and other video game villains, in ''Wreck-It Ralph''.]]
[[File:BowserWreckItRalph.png|thumb|Bowser's fire breath, as seen in the movie.]]
The video game-inspired ''Wreck-It Ralph'' appropriately includes cameos by many video game characters, including Bowser, who appears alongside several other antagonists as part of a "Bad Guys Anonymous" group, wherein villains lend each other moral support and promote the acceptance of their somewhat difficult roles in the games. Mario is mentioned by name when Felix hears the doorbell at his party and remarks "I'll bet that's Mario! Fashionably late, per the norm." Later, while Ralph is looking through the Lost & Found, he comes across a Super Mushroom. However, he swiftly discards it.

[[File:SuperMushroomwreckitralph.png|thumb|left|200px|Ralph, holding a Super Mushroom.]]
The ''Mario'' series is also indirectly referenced a number of times, primarily in the designs of Felix and Ralph. The game that Ralph and Felix hail from, ''Fix-It Felix, Jr.'', seems to be based on the original ''Donkey Kong'' in overall design, with ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]''-like gameplay aspects as well (like Fix-It Felix bearing a passing resemblance to [[Stanley (Donkey Kong 3)|Stanley]]), and with ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' inspiring the name. Felix's jump noise sounds similar to Mario's; when Felix is hit by a piece of falling ceiling, he jumps up, spins once and falls with his legs up, similar to Mario's death animation in ''Donkey Kong''.

Furthermore, the gameplay of ''Sugar Rush'' bears some resemblance to the ''Mario Kart'' series, such as players potentially stalling out if they messed up a [[Rocket Start|boost at the beginning of the race]], and how they [[Item Box|drive through sugar cubes to acquire items]] to use against other racers. The title card for ''Sugar Rush'' even has what appears to be [[Nintendo]]'s logo. The camera-wielding floating marshmallows who follow the players around the track appear to be a parody of the Lakitu enemies. In addition, the font used for the "Select your kart" text is nearly identical to that used in some ''Mario'' game logos. In the movie's credits, at one point the characters (now shown in 8-bit form) move around collecting floating medals, recalling coin-filled rooms in classic ''Mario'' platformers, and in another scene, they exit an area via a large gray [[Warp Pipe]]-like structure.

Though it is commonly believed that Mario's non-appearance in the film was due to a high licensing fee laid down by Nintendo, it was actually because the producers could not find a way to work Mario into the story, apparently deeming him too important to have only a cameo.
