*''[[Paper Mario]]'': If Mario jumps into a huge vase in a room on the first floor of the [[Boo's Mansion]], he will become 8-bit. Unlike in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', his allies will not become an 8-bit form. [[Goombario]] also references ''Super Mario Bros.'' in the Goomba's Tattle entry.

*''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'': Playing Star Mode for the Modern version of ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' will have the Goomba enemies being replaced by Spinies, similar to the new quest mode in ''Super Mario Bros.'' replacing the Goombas with Buzzy Beetles.
