• The Super Mario Bros. logo on the van was also used in the original 1985 game. The images of the brothers on the van are old advertising images of these characters from the time the game was released.
• The images of Mario and Luigi’s parents and relatives were based on character designs that were not used in the creation of the games.
• The arcade machine in the pizzeria at the beginning of the film is called "Jump Man." The character Mario was originally known as "Jumpman" when he first appeared in the game Donkey Kong (1981). The character's name was changed to Mario in honor of Mario Segale, the owner of the warehouse Nintendo America rented.
• When Luigi's phone rings, the ringtone is the startup sound of the Nintendo GameCube console. The caller ID icon resembles a Mii avatar.
• The French restaurant "Chasse du Canard," which can be seen in some scenes in Brooklyn, translates to "Duck Hunt." This is another Nintendo game – "Duck Hunt" (1984), which was often bundled with "Super Mario Bros." (1985). The restaurant's logo is the duck from the game.
• The music that plays in the commercial for Mario and Luigi's services is actually the theme song from the 1989 children's show "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!"
• In the prologue, Bowser invades the Snow Kingdom, defeating the Penguin King and his army to obtain a Super Star. The Penguin King is a character created specifically for the film and has never appeared in a "Super Mario" game before.
• One of the guards at Princess Peach's castle says that "the princess is in another castle." This is a reference to the original 1985 game, where upon completing a level, the phrase "Thank you, Mario, but the princess is in another castle" is heard.
• The music playing in the promotional video for Mario and Luigi's services is actually the theme song from the 1989 children's show "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!"
