The second mention came from ''[[Doors to Doom]]'', in which [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]'s yell was compared to a cross of Tarzan's cry and the screech Aunt Maria makes when the Mario Bros. walk on her newly waxed floor. However, given that the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'' were produced separately from ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', these two references may be a coincidence given that the name Maria is very similar to Mario. | The second mention came from ''[[Doors to Doom]]'', in which [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]'s yell was compared to a cross of Tarzan's cry and the screech Aunt Maria makes when the Mario Bros. walk on her newly waxed floor.
