 ==References to other games==
 *''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'': One of the badges is named "Jumpman", referencing to how Mario was named in this game. In addition, although not in the game itself, the Official Nintendo Power Player's Guide alluded to Mario's encounters with the titular ape from the game where they mentioned that the X-Nauts thought they could dissuade Mario with various platforms at high places, but they hadn't heard of his exploits against "a certain ape."
-*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': At the X-Naut Fortress in the Changing Room, Mario and Co. can change into an 8-bit sprite of themselves, along with the ''Super Mario Bros.'' music playing in the background. [[Hamma, Bamma, & Flare|Hamma]] also mentioned that his grandfather was at World 7-1. Bowser's gameplay is also a direct parody of this game. His theme song is a cover of the background music that plays in castle levels. In the Japanese and French versions of the game, the video-game obsessed Toad from Petalburg refers to ''Super Mario Bros'' as his favorite game for the Famicom and Nintendo Entertainment System, respectively, also urging Mario to play it in the latter version.

 *Famicom Disk System boot up: During the Peach transition scene for Chapter 5, when Peach is invisible and retrieves a disc from Grodus's office, the computer screen displays a scene of Mario and Luigi fighting over a light switch, referring to the boot up screen for the Famicom Disk System if the player did not input a disk beforehand.
 *''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': Whenever Jolene (while under the alias of "X") sent Mario an e-mail, the [[Ice Land]] map screen theme would play. The music that plays when Mario is riding the blimp is a cover of the athletic theme from this game. This game also included [[Boomerang Bro]]s., [[Fire Bro]]s., and [[Boo]]s, which originated from this game. Also, the "king saved" music can be heard in Luigi's story telling theme. Also like ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the game's story was largely a stage play (although it is more direct than in the former game, as it was only confirmed by Shigeru Miyamoto in the former case). In addition, Peach after each chapter ends up sending (e-)mail to Mario with advice for the next level, with her final mail upon completing all objectives being intercepted by the main villain, similar to in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
