* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'':
** The full title of the movie tends to get dropped and be referred to more as "the ''Mario'' movie" or the "''Super Mario'' movie" instead.
** Due to some confusion regarding Lumalee calling Luigi "fresh meat for the grinder" in the trailers -- apparently, the line was one of the few that was [[LostInTranslation localized poorly]], translating the literal words without regard for their figurative meaning -- the Japanese audience has taken to using it as an actual nickname for Luigi.
** As the Mario bros' little cousin is [[NoNameGiven one of several family members who goes unnamed]], quite a few fans have taken to calling her Marilyn after their niece from the ''Series/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow''. [[note]]It isn't uncommon for people, particularly Americans, to informally refer to their cousins as their nieces/nephews if they're significantly younger than them.[[/note]]
