| |''Animal Crossing''
| |
| |[[Nintendo GameCube|GCN]]
| |
| |There are many rare [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] that the player can find and play once they are in their house. Among them are several [[Mario (series)|Mario]] games, including ''[[Donkey Kong]]'' and ''[[Wario's Woods]]''. ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' can be found in the game's coding, though there is no known way to get it legitimately. Two items in the game are the rare [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] statues. While rowing to Animal Island, Kapp'n sings one of a few random songs, and a line to one of them is that he sings better than Mario. After rescuing Gulliver, the player might be told of how he left his pet goldfish in Hyrule and [[Toad Town]]. Certain pieces of furniture, such as the [[Warp Pipe]], [[Starman]], and [[Fire Flower]] could be unlocked with special cheat codes from [[Nintendo Power]] if the player told them to Tom Nook. There are four Mario-related shirts: the big bro's shirt, a red shirt with Mario's trademark 'M', the lil' bro's shirt, a green shirt with Luigi's 'L', the turnip shirt, on which a pattern resembling [[vegetable]]s appears, and the toad shirt, which is a red shirt with [[Toad (species)|Toad]] spots; for some reason, the name in-game incorrectly spells "Toad" with a lowercase t. One of the gorillas, Louie, greatly resembles [[Donkey Kong]] (who, ironically, wears the lil' bro's shirt). Lastly, if the player sends Bob the code on his E-card, he will write back in a letter claiming he had a dream of the player running around an island with a water pump on their back; this is a reference to ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.

| ===Mention Sightings===
| |
| *''Alex Kidd in Shinobi World'' – The first level's boss, "Mari-Oh", bears a striking resemblance to [[Mario]]. This was likely a way to mock [[Nintendo]], as the ''Alex Kidd'' games were all made by Sega, Nintendo's brutal business rival.
| |
| *''Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission Las Vegum'' – A certain Roman looks like Mario, only much more skinny. He also come with his own version of FLUDD. When attacking, he will very faintly shout "Yahoo!" in a Mario-esque voice. Upon beating him, he will shout "Mama mia!"

| |
| *''Banjo-Tooie'' – A toilet in Grunty Industries, Inc. needs a plumber, Kazooie suggests Mario because he's a plumber. The toilet says he thinks Mario doesn't do that job anymore. Also, Googles plays with a Donkey Kong doll.

| |
| *''Earthworm Jim'' – The Sega CD version of this game includes several secret masks for the character, including one of Donkey Kong with an arrow through his head.
