The Master of Disguise
After all the credits it is revealed that Mario has been controlling the "Slapping Dummy".
The Wizard
In perhaps the most prominent outside sighting of Mario, Super Mario Bros. 3 is featured as the game played in the final event of the Video Armageddon competition at the end of the film. As the scene progresses, protagonist Jimmy Woods (played by Luke Edwards) manages to find the Warp Whistle in the World 1 Fortress and wins the competition by warping to World 4 (which wouldn't actually score extra points in the game itself; the competition probably has a different scoring system). Curiously, the audience become immediately aware of how the game is played, despite the fact that at the time of the film's release, the game would not be available for another three months. Additionally, the emcee at the Video Armageddon announces several level names incorrectly (for instance, calling level 1-3 "World 2").
In addition, Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2 are also seen being played occasionally at earlier points at the film. Also, Mario was prominently featured in the background of the film's poster artwork (which was later reused as the box art for the VHS release).
