Although a floating Mario head does not appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', it has appeared in website advertisements for certain events that promoted the game. In the [[Guide Book]], an icon of Mario's face represents the area on the map of [[Isle Delfino]] he is in. The game's save data icon in the [[Nintendo GameCube]] main menu is additionally an animation of Mario's disembodied head.

In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', Mario's head appears in a variant of its own loading screen. Peach's head, Yoshi's head, [[Wario]]'s head, [[Donkey Kong]]'s head, and [[Bowser]]'s head also have their own loading screen variants.

Mario's face is also referenced in the beginning chapter of volume 16 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. This volume also follows ''Super Mario 64''{{'}}s story. Later in the volume, there is a 4-koma that involves Yoshi playing the game and not only moving Mario's face to bizarre positions but also drawing on it.
Mario's face is also spoofed in a beginning chapter of volume 16 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. This volume also follows ''Super Mario 64''{{'}}s story. Later in the volume, there is a 4-koma that involves Yoshi playing the game and not only moving Mario's face to bizarre positions but also drawing on it.

Mario's face later appears in the ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' version of [[Face-Lift (minigame)|Face Lift]] (also in ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' but with Bowser's face and no other faces), where the player has to alter the face of Mario or other characters in the game. The more accurately the face is changed to match a picture, the more [[point]]s the player receives. The player who earns the most points wins, although two players can win if they earn the same number of points. Mario's head, along with a Luigi head, Peach head, Yoshi head, Wario head, and Donkey Kong head, appears in the 1-vs-3 minigame [[Look Away]], where each head has to dance along to the music, and the team of three heads must avoid looking in the same direction as the single player head. In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', Mario's face is one of the faces (alongside [[Wiggler]] and Toad) to appear in the minigame [[Picture Imperfect]]. The player must get his ''M'' on his hat right, nose right, mustache right, mouth right, and eyes right. In ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', the minigame [[Making Faces]] involves players recreating Mario's or Bowser's face as accurately as possible.
