The Mario series is probably referenced most in the Super Smash Bros. series. There are plenty of characters, items, stages, trophies and others that come directly from the Mario series, and everything will be listed here.
Super Smash Bros. clearly represents the Mario series more so than any of the other franchises in the game. Well, possibly - it may be on par with the Pokémon video games. Two playable characters, two stages, and a whole bunch of items the player can use offensively or defensively.
Characters[]
Mario and Luigi are the only playable characters from the Mario series, though it should be noted that Yoshi and Donkey Kong started their series in Mario video games despite having their own emblem.
