*The way Mario leads the Punies in Chapter 2 is very similar to the game [[Pikmin]]. Like the Pikmin, the Punies will follow Mario everywhere, but they can scatter and depart from him if and when they get distracted. Also, Mario needs a certain number of them to activate some switches, which is also hinting at Pikmin, where Olimar needed a minimum number of Pikmin to solve some puzzles. Finally, the glowing antenna the Punies sport on their heads mirrors both the Pikmins' stems and the antenna on Olimar's helmet. | *The way Mario leads the Punies in Chapter 2 is very similar to the game [[Pikmin]].
