The Captain Toad theme also pops up when Toad introduces himself to Mario
kamek dressed up as peach could have been a reference to M&L dream team? basically
Was the guy playing the arcade cab in the pizzeria supposed to be Mario Segale?
I assumed it was but nobody ITT mentioned it so maybe I'm wrong.

I thought he was supposed to look like Charles Martinet mixed with Mario from the Donkey Kong cabinet
Still so baffled the superb Punch Out game for Wii hasn't been brought to Switch.
This is what I'm talking about:

The Duck Hunt restaurant actually says Duck Hunt in French (Chasse au Canard)
The store I think was called Ice Pop or something like that. The bear also makes an appearance on a poster in mario's room!
They really didn't try at all on that front, hah. Anything potentially interesting was left at a hint.
Maybe cause I have been watching Kamen rider lately, I know it's not, but it reminded me of a Kamen rider kick
When he was playing Kid Icarus, I low key lost my mind. I want another Kid Icarus, even if just a HD Uprising Port.
The ox from the film Alakazam the Great IIRC.
Surprised they didn't include a Korean restaurant in one scene advertising the dish Koopa was named for (and throwing in the other dishes Miyamoto considered for a name)
Recently I felt since that series and 1080 Snowboarding are dead it'd be pretty cool to introduce the Hayami siblings into Mario Kart as guest characters, with a more Mario-esque design.
IIRC Mario Kart and those games share a ton of staff. Same with the N64 Pilotwing characters...Nester in Mario Kart would rock.
Lol I knew I've seen two characters pull that dual kick move before. I couldn't place it
Trying to remember but I think a recent Nintendo game had a homage to that too
He's Jumpman.
And voiced by Charles Martinet.
Also a great reference, all of the Kong soldiers are holding Donkey Kong hammers from the old game.
In the final battle there's a sign for a "Soda Popinski" bar or restaurant.
In the same sequence, there's also a blurry "Gyro Market" banner for a restaurant that might have had a Gyromite top on it.

Final one, and I'm not ENTIRELY sure about this one, but that first modern building they get their first job in..
Immediately made me think of the Modern Mario houses for sale all over Decentraland. It just immediately made me think, "wait, is that the damn modern house with Mario art assets people are trying to sell for bitcoin over and over??"

When DK is first defeated and ALMOST falls to his doom, it plays the ominous old Donkey Kong arcade music.
The musical cues, some of which were just momentary glimpses were nice: I caught the Bowser's Fury one, the Luigi's Mansion, SMB2, SMB3 ground theme in the first apartment with the dog, and obviously things like the DK/Mario Kart/Rainbow Road motifs. My kid was yelling when the Yoshis came on, so missed out on exactly what that motif was.
Having Gusty Garden in the credits just seemed like Tyler going "yeah, this really doesn't fit with any of what happened in the movie, but the theme is TOO damn good to pass on an opportunity."
Based on the backgrounds of the mountain stages in the New Super Mario Bros. games.

Ah I knew they looked familiar! This was the last one I couldn't place, but I'm happy they included it. Thanks!
I imagine Bowser kicking Ludwig out of his room everytime he wants to sing his simp song.

Yeah, I was thinking My Hero Academia. But it was totally Asuka and Shinji's dual kick.
Wow, I'm glad someone else thought that
When all the characters are about to be sacrificed in lava, DK saves them, yet we don't see the penguins again for the rest of the movie, implying they got a terrible death, just like when players throwed the penguins to their doom in Super Mario 64.
I resisted the urge to yell "Rider Kick!" during that moment lolClose! Kamen Rider.
When Mario and Luigi bust through the brick wall in the sewers, the hole they leave behind is shaped like this:
hearing gusty garden was so cool and a great way to bookend the experience of just seeing all this awesome childhood stuff on screen
when i came home after i began huffing copium and thinking it was a hint that part 2 will be galaxy
One of the Toads told Mario that the princess was in another castle
Idk if anyone else caught that
But honestly I'm legit upset that they used the rocket barrel from Returns but don't use the Gear Getaway theme

The underground chamber (Warp Zone?) is reminiscent of under the Clock Tower in Majora's Mask
It serves the same purpose and I just get that vibe

Mario and luigi did a fucking METEOR SMASH on bowser at the end :
Could be, but evangelion is far from the first to do this kind of attack in an anime

it reminded me more of the SMB 3 level (especially all star version) :
I feel the final battle between Mario and Luigi and Bowser some attacks took inspiration from the Bros. Attacks in the Mario and Luigi serie, but I'm too lazy to look for evidence.
The toad dialogue reminded me a lot of the Mario RPG's, too.
The banzai bill moment was taken straight from Melee. They attack the castle from above and the sides.
