Years prior to the animation studio Illumination having a film based off the Mario franchise with the 2023 film "The Super Mario Bros. Movie", the series had been referenced in a handful of films by the same studio, including Donkey Kong references in "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" and "Despicable Me 3", and an homage to kicking a Koopa Troopa shell featured in "The Secret Life of Pets".

Submissions talking about pop culture references are being gotten rid of, yet this one talking about pop culture references in Illumination films is still standing, as is the one mentioning a Banjo-Kazooie reference in the Viva Pinata show by 4Kids Entertainment.
