All Pokémon References in Mario Games and Vice Versa (1996 - 2024)

[@r3n3gad33]

Mario and Pokemon go together really well, Mario is the world's most well known video game character and Pokemon is the world's biggest video game related franchise ever, I could imagine how lucky Nintendo is bying having these two money makers.

[@Maplewest]

I feel like some of these are a stretch

[@irishgeiger9295]

wolf milo That's why he said SOME.

[@joshie-animations9556]

Morgan Ria. l

[@yayaalim1464]

Morgan Rial was

[@bengloppen6027]

Morgan Rial Rename this video songs that sound like pokemon songs

[@nightlight3520]

Especially the amibo ones

[@mysterium368]

2:40 Who does also love the soundtrack of the Buoy Base Galaxy?

[@rogergerhardt7775]

who doesn’t love the soundtrack from Mario Galaxy in general?

[@hellohi4716]

Exactly!!!

[@AxeL-ni4zv]

Mysterium i love it I even have the two mario galxy games

[@Theworld-or1hb]

Mysterium i

[@firehawks109]

A hat in time intensifies

[@TheTheisson]

i think some are stretching it

[@oskarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

TheTheisson definitely

[@tripleppointx7779]

Yeah like the mario maker ones

[@mikeythewolf5608]

x_Cringey Gamer_x well that's not a stretch it's an obvious reference

[@mikeythewolf5608]

Dick still a reference

[@mikeythewolf5608]

PooDoo DrillDick ok

[@lunalycanroc4941]

Soon Pokémon and Mario will cross over. Forget Sinnoh confirmed. Pokémon Mario & Pokemon Luigi Confirmed And the sequel taking place 5 years afterward Pokémon Bowser

[@bigrockerending7711]

I can hardly imagine Pokemon x Mario. It's very possible considering Mario + Rabbids. However, Don't forget Sinnoh! Those remakes are likely to come out in time.

[@swineliasthegamer7686]

*/ make your dreams come true

[@daltonlovescake2227]

Don't forget now pokemon does 2 sequels at a time! obviously it'll be Pokemon Peach an Pokemon Bowsette

[@ThOmMaS64]

And the Yoshi joke in Pokemon Red/Blue

[@voops7454]

1:38 what a coincidence, right next to “Petalburg”, there’s a item that looks like a revive from Pokémon

[@Awegamer2015]

I didn't know Dimensions were already colliding.

[@bonnixbrine9368]

Awegamer2015 we can thank rosalina for that

[@vexthepichu226]

Puyo Puyo Tetris?

[@soapy228]

Awegamer2015 i

[@lorekeeper685]

Bonnix Brine or hoopa

[@vexthepichu226]

mew the mew sounds like a lot of *HOOPA*

[@poti_rond]

Some are coincidences and not references

[@poti_rond]

What the hell is that

[@Nomstero]

FeuilleA4 fatass hilda XD

[@poti_rond]

Gearmo yeah I know but why did he send me that ?!

[@poti_rond]

I'm glad that you want to share your joy and your fetish with me, but no thanks

[@bigrockerending7711]

Dude I don't want to be mean, but that's disgusting!

[@Fused_Zamae]

The super mario maker part isn’t an reference, You use a amiibo to get a costume to play as your favorite Nintendo characters

[@majjinminna5223]

To be fair they also have to be programmed in for it to work

[@nightlight3520]

William Rivera ya

[@JustenLinck]

William Rivera I was looking for someone to say that

[@chaoticjexak]

except charmander, squirtle,and bulbasaur tho

[@Fused_Zamae]

ChaoticTCGandgames that too..

[@greenhead352]

"A game with MARIO wearing a bucket on his head!" this is mario and wario omg

[@imtheeevechu]

I feel like a couple of these are just coincidental.

[@JunaidWolf3]

Yeah but they count as Easter Eggs like how the farmer clothes looks like Mario clothes don’t forget the guy who made Mario was a big role model in the making of Pokémon

[@saxifun4796]

Next Mario references in Kirby games. Or maybe Nintendo references in general in Kirby games.

[@2011supergamer]

Pokemon are also stamps you can use in painting is Mario Artist.

[@pozitron3792]

What about the Pokemon amiibo costumes in Yoshi's Wooly World? Oh wait

[@optimisticcharizard602]

Yet they add R.O.B and the Mii fighters...

[@tipzay]

Logan Lacara They also don't exist

[@optimisticcharizard602]

It's sad when people fail to understand the good jokes...

[@CaelansStuff]

But it showed Mario maker which is not a reference Either

[@braisfernandez5687]

@Superlogangaming 81 woooosh

[@zanymariobros6625]

2:26 Now we know what's inside a pokeball!

[@mrsuperheatran2794]

5:47 that's the outfit for the farmer trainer class, it's not specifically Mario's.

[@80sForever29]

But the farmer trainer class's outfit may be a reference to Mario XD

[@TeruteruBozusama]

Quiel Evolution Gameplays or Talon who was a refference to Mario..!

[@Kirbychu1]

The breeders in Alola are obviously based on Mario.

[@ElDetectiveMike]

A blue overall with a red shirt in a Nintendo game? Man, I don't know!

[@mrsuperheatran2794]

Doesn't mean it's automatically Mario. Wearing overalls and a red shirt is an actual thing, Mario didn't invent the style.

[@elongatedmuskrat2032]

Damn, didn’t even notice in Buoy Base, now I love it even more!

[@flipperjr.3822]

Gruntilda is my favorite pokemon

[@Nikowo1610]

i hope this is a joke...

[@flipperjr.3822]

+Cursed Gengar 20 What do you think?

[@lukas-rh5bk]

I prefer mumbo XD

[@QuiddDude]

lukas xddd Klungo is way better

[@jevildeltarune6347]

Flipper Jr. Mines Luigi

[@shadowfyst997]

I don't understand the one at 0:36. Looks like a golden gameboy?

[@ElectricFirechu]

Issac its the exclamation point

[@ElectricFirechu]

And i guess also its a pikachu themed gameboy or something

[@memelover-pf4jx]

Fire99502 it is a pikachu themed gameboy

[@emilioarrambide4210]

nonono there was long time ago a mini console for pokemon named pokemon mini you can search it if you want more information

[@WarioNumberOne]

Issac the explanation is written in the bottom left corner

[@JayFFAFAlesanaES]

I actually think you're right about the music in Mario and Wario. If you listen to Cerulean City just before that M&W music you might hear that it sounds a little like a remix between both that town and the route that you mentioned (which you actually have to take right after visiting Cerulean!).

[@erikperez4829]

mario and wario was made by gamefreak so makes sense

[@Sl1ckTh13f]

I thought for sure the Paper Mario one at 1:38 was going to be the Z Crystal and or Revive item in the background.

[@NatTBK]

But it’s a star piece

[@EternalMelee]

Sl1ckTh13f Paper Mario came out really earlier than Pokémon Sun & Moon.

[@llamagodarceus1680]

Maybe the Z-Crystal appearance was based on it?

[@arcplays1683]

just noticed that

[@justsomlim]

lol...... Read More

[@farmingsim9813]

The Pokemon Pikachu was also in the original Animal Crossing.

[@someonegamez7149]

Trainer Blue this is Mario we are talking about not animal crossing

[@someonegamez7149]

Space_Duck147 I was talking about the farmers clothes

[@DigimonVids]

Half of these aren’t even Mario refs It’s clickbait

[@MrKris17]

Too many Easter eggs for Mario and Pokémon. Nice vid!

[@SophisticatedGoat222]

Never thought I'd see a bunch of Rare characters and Pokémon overlap with random animals in what's supposed to be a Mario game. And it's not even a bootleg... I can't say I'm complaining, though.

[@UnshornKeyboardist]

I don't even know the name of it...

[@UnshornKeyboardist]

Dan Parker yee

[@UnshornKeyboardist]

Oh wait nmv I know the name. It's one of the Mario Artist games for N64DD.

[@michellejackson9763]

Mario's overalls appear in the shop at 5:44.

[@michellejackson9763]

One of the treasures in Wario land 2 is a Pokemon pikachu virtual pet at 0:31.

[@Coffeecup-sb5mw]

"all pokemon references" *MARIO'S CLOTHES show up on the right side of the thumbnail*

[@akiras.9167]

I think some of these really aren’t a reference at all, but were in here just to make a longer video.

[@moondoor9031]

I never knew that Nintendo mix up these two franchises, they are so restrict about everything when it comes to Pokemon.

[@FrankCosbyNo-Relation]

Pokemon is a Nintendo exclusive

[@noohcks]

The last one is the Pokèmon Farmer's overalls not Mario's.

[@varcon6787]

OK but its a reference only because a character in the game wears that outfit doenst mean its not a reference

[@nuredingeziqi679]

It's actually the opposite. It makes it a bigger reference

[@dagodowl7752]

TheAmazingTurtle yeah but it looks like marios overalls

[@Aluminum.K]

The pokemon farmer overalls were modelled after Mario's clothes.

[@duddud___8700]

If it was a reference they should had made it green for Luigi

[@joshuagelin6944]

2:32 I never realized that for some reason.

[@AtomicFox64]

Do a Metroid, pikmin and Kirby references in Mario

[@dillonkinder9296]

There’s a Mario reference in Pokémon Heroes The Movie there’s a old guy who looks just like Mario

[@brandysweigart6106]

Dillon Kinder Lorenzo?

[@levodaro9145]

That's indeed a very nice video : )

[@nileriver216]

Did you know? In Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Lyra wears Mario's Overalls. She makes a cute female Mario. Mario would be proud.

[@tacoman2755]

xD

[@JunaidWolf3]

Another fact about pokemon HG SS is the move thrash sounds like the mario theme

[@michellejackson9763]

The new record sound effect from Mario party 3 is based on the item get music at 0:56.

[@mariomuncher44]

*Mario & Wario* ( 4:15 )

[@papilliona2365]

Spyro the Dragon 2018 Spyrofan

[@quasimodokiwi1500]

& Knuckles

[@handbanana1995]

Dude so glad you're getting a remaster

[@epicscout2658]

The Sun Stone appeared in Mario & Pokemon before Kirby Triple Deluxe.

[@LadyLitzs]

Nunca me habría imaginado este tipo de referencias! pero están geniales

[@robplaysstuff6029]

good job, personally i thought the last one was kind of a stretch but i'll give it to ya

[@muto7566]

all the pokemon from smash in the mario maker segment

[@mavenmargaret8259]

A Poke Ball shaped planet in Buoy Base! How the heck did I not notice that years prior?!

[@MetalGearPearl]

I love Mario and pokémon too!!!

[@Umayrica]

2:48 They're also all coincidentally in smash (apart from charmander)

[@CyberXyphlen01]

Wrong, that was Charizard and he is in smash.

[@tjakins1965]

nice video bro

[@Jacrepid2]

Thank you now me and my friend can agree that there are pkmn references in mario

[@tabithasouza1844]

1:33 I feel like the Pokemon in there were edited in anyone else feel like that?

[@UnderclockFGC]

Tabitha Souza no, it's just Mario paint was made a while ago. It just looks a bit off I believe.

[@Boinkity1]

I never noticed Mario's overalls in that shop!

[@nintenzard3192]

Fun fact: If Mario and Pokemon played a game together, they'd make a lot of money.

[@hankjwinbletompokemontrain8449]

I really agree, I'm really imagining what a game would be like mixing the mechanics and gameplay of both games in one

[@fearingracer4253]

I think that Nintendo is giving us a message..... A CROSSOVER GAME

[@NaiefThegoony]

Wait so that catchy pokemon song I always liked was actually from a game where mario wears a buclet ? Why

[@schlagzeuger93]

Naief Aalromi It's the sad truth, my Friend...^^

[@terrance3218]

I'm actually a little upset that they missed another reference to Mario vs. Wario. Namely when you talk to Pikachu in Pokémon Yellow (I think when you go fishing) and it wears a bucket on its head.

[@ndgulli1225]

I like the yoshi’s story music

[@samblackhardt8689]

0:00 Yoshi's island got sum phat beats, daaaaamn

[@mr.hasagi9088]

Oh boy I can't wait to play my favorite game, "Mario's Bucket Head Adventure!"

[@Lanoman123]

_ OH3 actually it’s Mario vs. Wario

[@mr.hasagi9088]

Call me Zelda ONE moar time Man why you gotta kill my fun

[@Lanoman123]

_ OH3 just doing my job

[@fr33kout82]

I READ THE WHOLE COMMENTS SECTION AND NOBODY REALIZES THE THRASH MOVE IN POKEMON B/W/B2/W2 SOUNDS LIKE THE START OF THE MARIO THEME. OH MA GAWD.

[@OFunnyshii]

McKinzie Sackett ME TOO LIKE HOW SOMEONE DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT?

[@seth9709]

The sun stone from mario looks like L.Surge's badge from Gen 1

[@OniXScorpion]

I can explain this pokemon and mario were made by the same company so if you guys think this is like them tryna boost their attention or something then IT IS NOT

[@schlydops6352]

Not exactly, we could say Nintendo distributed both games, but they did not created them, Pokémon was created by satoshi tajiri and programmed by gamefreak and Mario was made by shigeru Miyamoto and programmed by Nintendo programmers

[@SiIverScales]

All Pokemon References in Mario Games and all Mario Games in Pokemon References

[@bluemoonhub]

Mario and pokemon are in the same dimension. It's confirmed

[@thomasskoff4140]

NEWS!!! So, At one point, the Pokémon are actually not photoshopped in. They are actual pictures in the game.

[@GradythaStudips]

Mario and wario is where Mario has a bucket on his head

[@DiamondPanda207]

with the overalls in the shop one: they appears in every clothing shop except the one in the shopping mall in hou-oli city

[@BurstFlare]

1:01 ... Those do *not* sound that similar!

[@someonegamez7149]

It's probably a remix for hardcore fans to notice

[@Lanoman123]

But the Yoshi series is technically it’s own thing

[@howard9391]

I never even realized that in SMG2 wow EDIT: Oh maybe cuz I was thinking of THE WRONG GAME and a different planet

I think the Trash move in Black and White has the Super Mario Bros. main theme in it.

[@Torinna_]

The Pokeball one in Galaxy is definitely a coincidence. I’m pretty sure most of these are just coincidences.

[@JunaidWolf3]

U realize Mario creator had a huge involvement with allowing Pokémon to be made right so it makes sense that Nintendo would add Pokémon references in Mario

[@alexanderballerstedt3916]

Please more references

[@michellejackson9763]

Donkey Kong,Super Mario Bros, Super Mario world,and Super Mario 64 are the 4 games at 6:10.

[@SuperMetro]

Gamefreak had some involvement in Mario and Wario.

[@FlippinEgg]

What about the possible reference in TTYD where in Petalburg you need sun and moon stones to get to Hooktail's castle?

[@leoburnel6535]

The thing i liked the most is the smash bros brawl background

[@rainbowrunner1550]

The very beginning of the Petalburg Woods music in Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald is the Warp Whistle in Super Mario Bros 3.

[@Bulba413]

Actually that originally appeared in the legend of zelda as the recorder theme

[@MattheGamingRebel]

how is that TTYD footage so clear and HQ without stretching? O_O;

[@poti_rond]

emulator

[@neil21795]

He's probably using Dolphin emulator. It lets you run GameCube and Wii games at HD resolutions even 4K on your PC.

[@plaguegang8787]

The close in the shop is the farmer( or breeder I forgot) outfit in that game

[@vytherless]

Maybe Sonic references to Mario and vice versa??

[@vytherless]

Carlos Chuqui why

[@sutty_r6537]

Sonic is shit

[@Blurrux]

BKC gaming So? What is your point?

[@dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668]

I NEVER REALIZED PETALBURG WAS FROM POKEMON.

[@zakilim5014]

0:36 a golden gameboy :3

[@TheAlbertos]

1:39 that thing in the background also looks like a revive from Pokémon.

[@FlippinEgg]

It's actual name is a star piece, there's a lot of them scattered throughout the game as useful collectables.

[@gcnelite5983]

Interesting

[@totallyshorts4920]

Handsaw [ESK] please

[@gcnelite5983]

y

[@gcnelite5983]

I don't need any subs

[@NatTBK]

Emerald2002 🖕🏼

[@NatTBK]

Emerald2002 lel, you’re begging for subs

[@BologneyT]

Sun Stone and Moon stone are generic enough, though, that they don't have to be references

[@teamawesomeness7137]

the sun stone in mario looks nothing like the sun ston ein pokemon,but it does look like the thunder badge.

[@leemotosuwa]

Are Yoshi And Wario Mario games? Didnt Know that

[@kumatori5748]

The Mario overalls are actually just the farmer outfit

[@kachosuffer7]

the color theme tho

[@ZoryArky]

still the farmer outfit

[@warpstarrogue3554]

5:46 I would say that those are Mario’s clothing, but breeders swear the exact same thing.

[@ดากานดามูลตรีศรี]

All Mega Man References in Mario Games

[@lucatriom5175]

Fun fact : in super mario maker all of those pokemon are in super smash bros (in order)

[@shrektheogre4349]

Lukitas 28 That's not really a fun fact, those Pokémon are all in because every Smash Bros Amiibo, not counting DLC, is compatible with Mario Maker.

[@pokepress]

You missed the dub Pokémon Theme being in Donkey Konga (I believe the Japanese version of the game has “Advance Adventure”, there might be others in 2 and 3).

[@superdonavanbrosgaming6206]

1:39 Did anyone else notice that revive in the background

[@FlippinEgg]

That's a star piece, they're collectables scattered throughout the game.

[@teamawesomeness7137]

it looks like a revive though.

[@jevildeltarune6347]

That's a Z-Crystal

[@teamawesomeness7137]

that game came before the z-crystals. the star piece in the thousand-year door might be what inspired the design of the z-crystals.

[@theprimereason3288]

Ok now someone draw Mario with a bucket stuck on his head

[@thelostmessenger]

Weirdly specific

[@auspiciousfarmer2819]

The Sun stone in paper Mario the thousend doors really looks like LT.Surge badge

[@pokepress]

Joke answer: Rotom has a Mario form, as seen in Super Mario Odyssey.

[@RonaldMcDongus]

those clothes are actually the clothes the male farmer wears

[@BiggestSniff]

the mario party one is vague

[@sniddler9114]

If you take final fantasy and make it bad, it becomes pokemon

[@SuperMarioAPA3968]

In Super Mario Odyssey Mario Bounce On The Globe You Listen To The End Credits Theme From Pokemon Sun & Moon.

[@mr.crocidillian1654]

has anyone realised that the Pokémon amiibo other than the three starters in Mario maker are the ones that appear in smash bros wii u and 3ds

[@PTp1ranha]

Gruntilda is my favorite Pokemon.

[@jonathanheatherhammond385]

theres also gruntilda, diddy kong and mumbo jumbo for the mario paint part
