    Mario Games

    (1989) NES: Mario made an insignificant cameo appearance in a sports game called "Baseball". What kind of a cameo did Mario have?Mario Appearing In Other Games I

      Name of the pitcher for two teams was Mario and Luigi. The pitcher for the Bears is called Mario, and the pitcher for the Eagles is called Luigi. Neither player actually resembles the Mario brothers in-game. Regardless, any mention of the characters name counts as a cameo, plus Mario appeared on the box art of "Baseball". He was a pitcher in the artwork, as well.

    (1987) NES: Mario made a cameo appearance in a boxing game called "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out". What role did Mario have in his cameo appearance?Mario Appearing In Other Games I

      Referee. Mario appeared in the original "Punch-Out" as a member of the audience but he was not an audience member in "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out". His role was a referee and he mainly just said go, counted up to ten when someone was knocked down, and either said K.O. (Knockout) or T.K.O. (Technical Knockout).

    (1984) NES: "Pinball" was a decent Pinball simulator and had the added bonus of a mini game starring none other than everyone's favorite plumber, Mario. How did one unlock this mini game?Mario Appearing In Other Games I

    (1984) NES: This was the first game Mario made a cameo appearance in. He played the umpire of an early tennis game. What was the name of the tennis game?Mario Appearing In Other Games I

      Tennis. Little is to be said about this cameo appearance or the game for that matter. Mario was the umpire, sitting up high in a chair yelling out different words depending on the play. Apart from Mario's role as an umpire, the game was just a regular tennis game.

    (2003) Nintendo Gamecube. In the game "1080 Avalanche" you can see an inanimate cameo of Mario as what?Mario Appearing In Other Games II

      An ice sculpture. At the end of the Angel Night: Midnight City course is an ice sculpture of Mario. You can see it best during the introductory video of the stage. You can also unlock a bonus board that looks like a NES controller. The board makes a classical Mario jump noise when you jump, and a Bullet Bill Cannon noise when you have a heavy landing.

    (2000) Nintendo 64. In the game "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask", a mask bearing Mario's likeness appears somewhere in the game. Where is it? Mario Appearing In Other Games II

      On the back of the mask salesman early in the game. It is really easy to find the mask. All you have to do is after you meet the mask salesman, just run over to his back and go into first person mode. There, pretty much right on the center of his mask bag, you can see a Mario mask. You can never obtain it, in the game, but it is a nice bit of eye-candy.

    (1998) Nintendo 64. In the game "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" a few appearances are made by Mario and the rest of the Nintendo crew once again. The most apparent is in a certain location, you can see framed pictures of Mario, Yoshi, Bowser, and Peach. What is the name of the location where you can see these interesting images?Mario Appearing In Other Games II

      Hyrule Castle. Next time you play this unforgettable classic, go to Hyrule Castle and make it to the area where you must talk to Princess Zelda. Do not talk to her immediately, instead look through the window beside her and look to both the left and right hand sides of the room on the other side. Voilą! You have found the pictures of Mario and company. Also, you could shoot the pictures to receive some rupees.

    (1996) Nintendo 64. In the game "Pilotwings 64" a cleverly added cameo of Mario is introduced into a level called 'On the Little States'. The head of George Washington on Mount Rushmore has been replaced by Mario. What happens if you attack the head of Mario with either the Gyrocopter's missiles, or with a human cannonball? Mario Appearing In Other Games II

      The face turns into Wario. "Pilotwings" was one of the first flying games on the Nintendo 64, and also one of the first to have a cameo of Mario. It was considered average at the time and the game hasn't aged very well. Regardless, if you have a Nintendo 64 and a copy of this game and you haven't noticed the Mario head, you should look it up.

    (1995) Super Nintendo. After completing the game "Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest" you are treated to a scene showing Cranky's Hall of Videogame Heroes. Mario obviously appears on Cranky's list but, what rank does he have, according to Cranky's Hall?Mario Appearing In Other Games II

      One. Indeed, Mario was number one in Cranky's Hall of Videogame Heroes. Yoshi was strong at number two, and Link from "The Legend of Zelda" series came up as number three. Something to look for next time you look at your old copy of this game.

    (1994) Super Nintendo. In the game "Stunt Race FX" Mario and some other famous Nintendo characters make some cameo appearances. What form of a cameo do Mario and the other Nintendo characters have?Mario Appearing In Other Games II

      Their faces appear on billboards. As you drive along in the game, you will notice that the billboards are faces of some of Nintendo's most prominent characters of the time. Among the group are Kirby, Star Fox, and Mario. Small cameos like these often compel curious gamers to buy the game and see it for themselves.
