1* All of chapter 2 of ''[[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor Thousand-Year Door]]'', in which you command an army of tiny critters with a long, singular antennae on top of their heads, is a pretty clear reference to ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}''.
2** The ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}'' references don't stop there. The space helmet that you wear in Chapter 4 of ''[[VideoGame/SuperPaperMario Super Paper Mario]]'' bears an uncanny resemblance to Olimar's helmet.
3* There are MANY references to ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi''.
4** In ''Thousand-Year Door'', Bobbery will request you bring him Chuckola Cola.
5** Also in ''Thousand-Year Door''. Bowser will attempt to steal a [[spoiler: fake]] Crystal Star. When Pennington questions him, you can make Bowser call himself The Shadow Thief. On top of that, he will say "I'll be taking this, thanks!"
6** In ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'', [[spoiler: Mr. L]] will call himself The Green Thunder, a reference to [[spoiler: Luigi's]] thunder ability in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga''.
7* Another one for ''TYD'', Mario will eventually get an email from [[spoiler:the real]] Zip Toad, who ends his message with an inspiring line from one of his movies. The movie's name? ''The Toad Warrior'', named after a ''Series/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'' episode, which ''itself'' was a ShoutOut to ''Film/MadMax2TheRoadWarrior''.
