Mario: Is he talking about us?

Luigi: You better believe it!

—Mario and Luigi during the commercial bumpers for The Super Mario Bros. Super Show.

Being the undeniably most recognizable game series of all time, of course Mario is going to mutate some memes!

From the games[]

"THANK YOU, MARIO! BUT OUR PRINCESS IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE!" ^[1].}}
Weegee, the Fan Nickname for the badly designed sprite of Luigi in the PC version for the infamous Mario Is Missing. So creepy that it has been mutated into a stalker who scares characters from various shows/memes/pictures, and in some circumstances, changes their face into his.
- And now apparently there's Waweegee.
- There's also Malleo, who can turn anyone into a Fire Flower by staring at them and saying "Fire Flower."
- Also from Mario Is Missing is the laughably bizarre line "You won't find Adobe here in Nairobi."
  - I FOUND MACROMEDIA IN AFRICA.
- Weegee became a character for MUGEN as well, one of the "Super Game Breaker" types who kills instantly.
Super Mario Sunshine: "SHINE GET!" ^[2]
- Sunshine Bowser says: "Mario? HOW DARE YOU DISTURB MY FAMILY VACATION?"
Mario Kart: "Hi I'm Daisy!" ^[3]
Waluigi's Taco Stand. ^[4]
Super Mario RPG: And you guys better watch out! He Knows About Timed Hits!
- Whoa, who do you think you are, Bruce Lee? You can't just go in there, fists flying!
- I serve... A higher authority...
- His real name is "♡♪!?"
Mario's floating disembodied head from Mario Teaches Typing.
- His floating disembodied head from Super Mario 64.
"Somehow, I don't think you thought your cunning plan all the way through." ^[5]
Mario & Luigi: Fawful has FURY! ^[6]
- THE MUSTARD OF YOUR DOOM!
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story: IS THAT NOT GLOBIN? ^[7]
Super Mario Galaxy: U R MR GAY. ^[8]
- Which eventually evolved into U R MR GOTY.
Super Mario Galaxy 2: YA I M R U? (related to the above)
- A less common version of the joke is "U R MI ALY", referring to Yoshi as Mario's ally.
- The inclusion of the Spin Drill item in Super Mario Galaxy 2 prompted a number of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann jokes.
Mario can kill the Sun. ^[9]
Super Mario 64: "So long, gay Bowser!" ^[10]
Super Paper Mario: "BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. I AM ERROR. PRESS ANY KEY TO RESUME. SYSTEM NOT FOUND. INSERT INSTALL DISC. DISC NOT FOUND. PLEASE CONFIRM DISC COVER IS CLOSED. READ ERROR. INSERT BOOT DISC AND PRESS ENTER. NO RESPONSE. SYSTEM MAY BE BUSY OR MELTING INTO SLAG. APPLICATION ERROR. SAVE YOUR WORK AND QUIT. YOU LOST EVERYTHING. WAY TO GO. GENIUS. WAITING FOR PROCESSORS. "404 computer hamsters not found." THREAT LEVEL UPGRADED TO JELLY ROLL 1. DETONATION IMMINENT."
- CTRL ALT DELETE! ^[11]
Oh great, now I look like the evil king of GUYS WHO TALK TO POSTERS! ^[12]
Mr. L! Green Thunder! ^[13]
DOOFUSES!!! ^[14]
"I love going on message boards and complaining about video games I've never played." ^[15]
GREEEEEEN! ^[16]
Nice of the Princess to invite us over for a picnic, Gay Luigi? ^[17]
- I hope she made lotsa spaghetti!
- "You Know What They Say: All toasters toast toast!"
- "Ya bring a light?"
  - NO.
- Hey, you! Get offa my cloud!
Mario Party: Bowser Communism. ^[18]
- D'OH, I MISSED! ^[19]
- Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing.
- You're lousy! ^[20]
? ^[21]

From the cartoons[]

The last episode of Super Mario World (and the last Mario cartoon ever made), "Mama Luigi". The entire episode (especially the line, "That's Mama Luigi to you, Mario!") has become a staple of Youtube Poop videos. The most quotable lines from the episode include:
- "Well, like they say in Brooklyn, early to bed, early to catch the worm. Or, is it the bagel?"
- "I Fell for Hours!"
- "Good thing I found a MAAAAAAGIC balloon!"
- "Luigi bash blocks now!"
- "Yeah, well, I didn't think it was so funny!"
- "Mario, wherever you are, HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYEEEEEEEEEEEELP!"
- "MAMA!? MAMA LUIGI? AHAHAHAHAHA!"
- Mario describing Bowser's Castle as his "Coney Island disco palace!"
"This is a volcano!"
"AND IT'S ALL MY FAULT!"
Super Mario Bros Rap Anyone? ANYONE?
"Permit me to introduce ya to... RACCOOOOOOOON KOOPA!!"
- Ascended as of Super Mario 3D Land (not word for word, but the mere concept).
"C'mon, I'll help you sink your teeth into some delicious KOOOOOOOOOPAmeat!"
"Do the Mario!"
"It's a stone, Luigi. You didn't make it!"
- "It's a football! I chiseled it!"
- Its even official size (throws at Mario), but not official weight.
"What's the one thing most likely to rot people's minds and reduce their brains to mashed potatoes?"
"Phone Bill: ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY FIVE DOLLARS AND THIRTY ONE CENTS?!" *Mario faints*
"Oogtar eat ghosts for breakfast!"

↑ In one level of Super Mario Bros. 3, the Sun is visible. In truth, it's actually one of Bowser's men, the Angry Sun, and it makes a point to swoop down and ram Mario. Fortunately, it's not much bigger than Mario, and can be killed by hitting it with a Koopa shell.

↑ One of the questions you answer "Yes" to, in a quiz in Super Paper Mario; it may also be a direct reference to the trope.

↑ In the opening cutscene of Hotel Mario, Mario is actually saying "Nice of the Princess to invite us over for a picnic, eh, Luigi?", but the way he says it sounds like he's calling Luigi gay. In fact, the game has many cheesy lines that have achieved meme status, including:
↑ One of the possible outcomes of the Bowser Space is "Bowser Revolution", in which Bowser distributes everyone's coins evenly. Political references follow quickly. The term itself was popularized by The Runaway Guys.
↑ One of Wario's failure quotes in the N64 games. It's almost never appropriate in context. Once again, popularized by The Runaway Guys.
↑ Waluigi's unlockable taunt in Mario Party 6 and 7. This time, popularized by Pokecapn's posse.
↑ Ever since the original Super Mario Bros., most blocks that contain powerups, coins, etc., have had a question mark on them. This indicates that they're supposed to be "mystery" blocks, the original idea being that when playing the games for the first time, you were never supposed to know what the block will have.
