The Super Mario Bros. series features two plumbers, Mario and his younger brother Luigi.

The games also features characters shaped like mushrooms, large plumbing tubes, and endless jumping.

When Monica is not found, West says, "Princess is in another castle." This is a reference to the Super Mario Bros. video game: whenever Mario finishes exploring a castle in search of Princess Peach, Toad, a mushroom-like character, greets him with, "Thank you Mario, but our princess is in another castle!"

Graphic Novel:The Trip, Part 1

During Hiro's hallucination, he sees a man in a large plumbing tube, very similar to Mario and Luigi. Later, Hiro mentions villains from various series, including Bowser. Finally, Hiro encounters a forest ranger he believes is a mushroom humanoid who says that "our princess is in another castle," a reference to a famous line from the series.
