A small reference that is easy to overlook when playing the game over a longer period of time instead of in one sitting occurs in Super Mario 3D World.

The first Mystery House level in World 2 is called "Mystery House Melee", while a similar level encountered much later in the game in World Mushroom is called "Mystery House Brawl".

These are obviously a reference to Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but this is only clear when putting the names next to each other, and would be easy to miss if the player no longer remembers the first level when coming across the second.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the large planetoid in Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy is using a very blurry image of Earth as its reflection map. This is actually "The Blue Marble", an extremely famous photo of the Earth from space taken on the Apollo 17 flight to the Moon in 1972.

Mario Artist: Polygon Studio was an entry in the Mario Artist series for the Japan-only 64DD add-on for the Nintendo 64 that allowed users to create their own 3D models and insert them into scenes.

In a 2003 issue of the Japanese Nintendo Dream magazine, a tutorial was published on how to create a model of a specific Shy Guy, who has been a popular recurring character in the magazine's long-running "Dream Drunker" comic (famous for his gimmick of never saying anything except variations of "HO~").

A reference image of the Shy Guy riding a minecart and the finished model are provided. Note that the model also includes one of the exercising men from the opening of Mario Paint, who also appear in the Mario Artist games.
