- The construction zone that Mario and Luigi dash through at the beginning resembles the first level of the original Super Mario Bros. game. I mean, could they have made it look like any other boring construction site? Nah, let's throw in some classic pipes, bricks, and enemies!
- Remember the Game & Watch guy? Well, he's cruising through Brooklyn on a truck. It's a nod to Nintendo's early days, and it's a wonder if he's still stuck playing the same game after all these years.
- Check out the Castle Burger joint shaped like the castles from the Super Mario Bros. games. It's like stepping into a delicious Mushroom Kingdom, posters of Mario and Luigi included.
- Prepare for a "Chasse au Canard" French restaurant paying homage to Duck Hunt. Ah, the memories! Wonder if they offer any gourmet dog food on the menu?

- Look closely, and you'll spot a glass statue of a Pikmin in the restaurant. Talk about attention to detail! Those little creatures are still as adorable as ever. Wonder if they're this cute in real life?
- The restaurant owner can be seen engrossed in a book called "Galaxy." A nod to the popular Super Mario Galaxy game. Let's hope he's as skilled at saving the universe as Mario!
