 *''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': The [[Grass Land]] theme is arranged as part of the music that plays during the opening cutscene. Whenever Jolene (while under the alias of "X") sends Mario an e-mail, the [[Ice Land]] map screen theme plays. The music that plays when Mario is riding the blimp is a cover of the athletic theme from this game. This game includes [[Boomerang Bro]]s., [[Fire Bro]]s., and [[Boo]]s, which originated from this game. The "king saved" music can be heard in Luigi's storytelling theme. Like ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the game's story is implied to be a stage play (although it is more direct than in the former game, as it was only stated 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''. Bowser's theme song contains a cover of the castle theme.
 *''[[Super Mario World]]'': Whenever Peach sends Mario an e-mail, the title screen theme plays. Whenever Mario gets an e-mail from other people, part of the epilogue theme (from when a [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] castle is beaten) plays. When Mario wins a battle, the "level clear" sound plays.
+*''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series: During Luigi's story about Circuit Break Island, he tells Mario he had to sign up for a kart race and mentions he had driven karts before.
 *''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'': Blue [[Bandit]]s appear as NPCs. [[Atomic Boo]] closely resembles [[Bigger Boo]] from this game.
 *''[[Super Mario 64]]'': When Princess Peach takes a shower in the X-Naut Fortress, she can sing "[[Inside the Castle Walls]]".
-*''[[Paper Mario]]'': [[Parakarry]] makes a brief cameo at the beginning of the game, and delivers a letter to Mario from Peach, just like the previous game. During the [[65th Trivia Quiz-Off|65th Super Fun Quirk Quiz]], one of question 3's incorrect answers is "[[Koopa Koot]]" and one of question 4's incorrect answers is "[[Toad Town]]", though they were mistranslated as "Kooskoos" and "Mushville", respectively. [[Kolorado]] was a student of [[Professor Frankly]], and the former's [[Kolorado's father|deceased father]] appears as a crumpled [[Dull Bones]] in Hooktail's Castle, which [[Koops]] confuses for his own father. The video game-obsessed Toad kid from Petalburg mentions that he has been playing the game, describing Bow as the "cutest Boo of ALL TIME!!!" [[Gulpit]]s are given a reference when Grubba exclaims, "GREAT-GALLOPIN' GULPITS!". [[Lumpy]] at Rogueport Harbor states he is going to [[Dry Dry Desert (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Desert]] to look for oil. After returning, he can tell Mario about this adventure. Many aspects of Chapter 2 from ''Paper Mario'' are referenced. In the email he sends to Mario after finding him, [[Koopook]] says he is now hiding in [[Crystal Palace]] in the Japanese version; however, this last reference is lost in the English translation, as Crystal Palace is instead translated as "Goomstar Temple". After completing [[Pine T. Jr.]]’s job, he says his father found a new one taking care of [[Li'l Oink]]s (mistranslated as "Bubu" in the English script) in [[Toad Town]]. During Chapter 5's Bowser interlude, interacting with the door to [[Mayor Dour]]'s house makes him say, "The mayor is OUT!", a reference to [[Merlon]]'s "Merlon is out!" message. One of the houses in Poshley Heights has a model of the [[K64]]. After completing Chapter 6, there is a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] that randomly appears on the Excess Express that asks Mario a quiz question, ("What did Bowser steal in the first Paper Mario?"), and the answer is, "[[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]]". [[Jr. Troopa]] appears in the background in the picture that [[Zip Toad]] attached to his e-mail. After completing Chapter 8, [[Lady Bow]] and [[Bootler]] appear in Poshley Heights and Bow and makes a direct reference to [[Boo's Mansion]], as well as the adventure she and Mario had.

In the pause menu, the icon for Mario's level is the head of his sprite from this game.

 *''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'': A crow in [[Twilight Town]] says he will set up an estate paysite named Luigi's Mansion, and his crow friend says that "he's heard that name somewhere before", referencing this game.
 *''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'': In the Spanish version of the game, Rawk Hawk's victory gloat after beating [[The Koopinator]] specifically referenced ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' (in all other versions, he simply says they are better off playing video games without naming one in particular).
