My friend, just because a game share similar game mechanics, doesn’t mean that it’s a Mario easter egg. If that would be the case, then Sonic’s rings is a reference to Mario only because 100 collected rings means a 1-up

16:34 When written out in Japanese, Olimar (オリマ) is Mario (マリオ) backwards! It was indeed intentional, but didn’t translate to other languages, sadly.

There's also an enemy in Link's Awakening that is not related to Mario. It's an enemy that looks and acts exactly like Kirby from the Kirby games.

Bro wake up Copycat uploaded 🗣🔥

The Mario 1-Up sound in Anamal Crossing New Horizon when striking the money rock multiple times makes sense because in the older Mario games you are awarded a 1-Up with 100 coins, and yes it will play the jingle.

Donkey Kong is part of the Mario series!

"gotten" is such a weird word to say so many times 🤔

This video was so interesting😍 please make more crossover videos!

Awesome video! Now we need the reverse: Easter Eggs of other Nintendo franchises in every Mario game! I am looking forward to seeing the Zelda reference regarding the warp whistles in Mario 3!!!

Actually, the warp whistle from Super Mario 3 was a Zelda easter egg, rather than the wind ocarina of Minish Cap being a Mario easter egg! The warp whistle in Super Mario Bros. 3 plays the same tune as a similar item from the original Legend of Zelda game which came before SMB3, the Minish Cap wind ocarina's tune was was a reference to that. Ocarina of Time's title theme contains a reference to that tune as well.

The amount of correlation between the 3D Super Mario installments and the core series Pokémon installments is honestly shocking the more you stop and think about how well some of these games match up with each other. Not only did both collections of installments begin in 1996, but even the themes of the games match. Here’s some of the more notable comparisons: 1996: Original games 2002: Tropical themed games 2006-07: Space themed games 2013: Emphasis on 3D 2016-17: Celebrations of the first game The comparisons are so consistent, in fact, that in 2022 I began working on a sense-discontinued crossover project between Pokémon and these 3D Super Mario games. The 2D games don’t fit into this nearly as well, either, but even if they did we haven’t gotten a new 3D Super Mario game since Odyssey, unless you count Bowser’s Fury I suppose. College fatigue and a lack of new 3D Mario led to me losing motivation to work on the project for the foreseeable future, unless something changes.

17:37 The flame of tomorrow is a box of matches

Nice video!!!

“Kamek” refers to a specific Magikoopa that’s Bowser’s right-hand woman. She’s usually depicted as being very old, much older than the rest of her kind

2:35 After animal crossing, the gba was the start of Nintendo re releasing nes games on newer hardware!

Zelda 2: Look closer at Bagu and Error

22:03 Nope. Just nope. Splatoon originated from a tech demo, which evolved into rabbits being the main characters, to squids. But if you want to know more, just go watch the Beta64 video on the development of Splatoon. You pointing out similarities can give people the wrong idea of the development of Splatoon.

25:10 what was nintendo thinking when they made that layout thing in the top left corner

6:44: Kagero isn't their sister. Also, Saizo and Kaze are part of Fire Emblem's Cain and Abel archetype, where almost every single entry in the series has a pair of units that are themed red and green. Mind you, I think Saizo and Kage are the only Cain and Abel archetype that are brothers, and I have no idea if the Cain and Abel archetype are a reference to Mario and Luigi to begin with. 27:51 Mamu is Wart's Japanese name. Specifically, Mamu was the main antagonist of Dokidoki Panic. His name was changed to 'Wart' when that game became Super Mario Bros. 2 in the US. However, when the American Super Mario Bros. 2 was released as Super Mario USA in Japan, he was back to being referred to as Mamu again.

In Zelda: The Wind Waker (and The Minish Cap) there's also Carlov from the Nintendo Gallery. He wears overalls clearly similar to Mario's.

If you do non-Nintendo games and crossovers/easter eggs/references, one of my favorites is from Hitman WOA. In Sapienza, a coastal town based on Italy, you can find a red and green plumber NPC in the sewers and can even wear their costumes. In Celeste, one of the Crystal Hearts puzzles is a reference to SMB 3, I think.

Not sure the Donkey Kong stuff counts. They’re definitely not Easter eggs in the sense that they’re hidden. They are both part of the same gaming universe. Of course there’s carryover from on to the other

Regarding Pokemon, Girafarig's tail head looks suspiciously like a chomp. Also, Lyra(the female PC from HGSS) has an outfit that looks like a cross between Mario and a Toad. Also, perhaps they aren't obvious in the in-game models, but Talon and Malon have matching Bowser brooches in their character art for Ocarina of Time.

Where do you do your research for this videos @Copycat?

It is Mario references in Nintendo Franchises?

Actually you missed quite a few from Animal Crossing completely omitting New Leaf which has a ton

It's been a while since I played Fates but I'm like pretty sure Kagero is not Kaze/Saizo's sister, just part of the same ninja clan

Doesn’t Malon (in OoT) wear a Bowser broach when she’s a child?

19:53 Is that where you took your name from?

I was wondering about this yesterday! First!

Am i the only one that thinks the death mountain theme sounds familiar?

Who is Dixie Kong?

Animal village is the 64dd animal crossing

Diddy's Kong-quest not Diddy Kong's Quest

Wake up copycat uploaded🥹😍
