This is a screenshot of a public post from X (formerly Twitter) user @adamgreattweet. The post features a photograph taken from inside a building, looking out through open glass double doors at an outdoor fair or community event with vendor tents (including popcorn and kettle corn stalls) visible in the background. In the entrance area, a giant inflatable Super Mario character is fully deflated, lying collapsed and prone on the concrete ground. Two people are also lying on the ground near the inflatable, and two Mario-patterned welcome mats are placed inside the doorway. The tweet text above the image reads "it's-a-me, depression", a pun on Mario's iconic catchphrase "It's-a me, Mario" that humorously compares the deflated, lifeless state of the inflatable to the experience of depression.

This is a two-panel black and white edited manga meme displaying the heavily polarized common fan reactions to official Nintendo Direct presentation events. The left panel shows an edited, overjoyed, tearfully happy version of One Piece protagonist Monkey D. Luffy with a dialogue bubble reading 'THIS Nintendo Direct IS SO GOOD I COULD DIE!!', representing fans who are extremely satisfied with the announcements shared in the Direct. The right panel shows an edited, horrified and enraged version of Luffy wearing a Super Mario franchise hat, with a dialogue bubble reading 'THIS Nintendo Direct IS SO BAD I COULD DIE!!', representing fans who are extremely disappointed by the Direct's content, highlighting the frequent split opinions that follow these Nintendo events.

This is a two-part comparison meme. The top section is captioned 'Kids today getting their video game turned into a movie get this', paired with the original 2D animated Pikachu from the Pokemon franchise next to the well-received, accurate cute CGI live-action Pikachu from the 2019 *Detective Pikachu* film. The bottom section is captioned 'Kids in my day got this...', paired with the original cartoon Goomba enemy from the Super Mario video game franchise next to the widely mocked, unrecognizable, monstrous Goomba character design from the poorly received 1993 live-action *Super Mario Bros.* film. The joke highlights the massive improvement in video game movie adaptation quality over time, and pokes fun at how terrible earlier attempts at the genre were for older audiences.

This is a side-by-side comparison meme following the viral DLSS 5 On meme format. The left panel displays the classic 8-bit pixel art portrait of Mario from original Nintendo Super Mario games, labeled "DLSS 5 off". The right panel shows an uncanny hyper-realistic, photorealistic version of Mario modeled after Chris Pratt's portrayal in the Super Mario Bros. Movie, labeled "DLSS 5 on". The meme satirizes Nvidia's newly announced DLSS 5 generative AI graphics technology, joking that instead of just upscaling, it drastically alters original content into over-polished, unnatural AI-generated versions.

This is a three-panel meme taken from footage of the 2023 Super Mario Bros. Movie premiere. The first panel shows actor Jack Black (who voiced Bowser in the movie) being interviewed by Access Hollywood on the red carpet. The second panel shifts focus down to show Shigeru Miyamoto, the original creator of the Mario franchise, standing quietly unnoticed in the background of the shot. The third panel edits Miyamoto's face into the popular 'they don't know' party meme format, with the text 'They don't know / I literally made Mario', making an ironic joke that the actual creator of Mario is present but overshadowed by the movie's stars at the premiere event.
