Mario sometimes appears in movies, so keep an eye out for Mario and write it down!
Beethoven
In the movie, such Ted plays Super Mario Bros. 3 on an NES. Oddly, he uses the Power Glove, an NES peripheral not compatible with Super Mario Bros. 3, to do this.
Billy Madison
During a scene in the lunchroom, Billy and one of his first grade peers get into a debate over Mortal Kombat and Donkey Kong.
Kid: Mortal Kombat, on the Sega Genesis, is the best video game ever.
Billy: I disagree. It's a very good game, but I think Donkey Kong is the best game ever.
Kid: Donkey Kong sucks!
Billy: You know something? YOU SUCK!
Jump In!
In Jump In!, Izzy calls Mary "Jumpgirl", a reference to Mario's original name, "Jumpman".
Son Of The Mask
In the car, the man was playing Mario Kart Super Circuit as Luigi. The man seems that he was in 5th place...
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.
In addition, Super Mario Bros. 2 is 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).
