When you start a stage in Mario 64, Mario says "PICKLE"

Change my mind

Also, I now have the damn hootenanny music from Rainbow Ride permanently stuck in my head and it turns out there's yet another way to destroy vampires

I mean rainbows are just refracted sunlight. I always assumed they’d be harmful to vampires.

I always heard “Ret ta go,” so that I assumed “Ret2Go” in the Shantae games was a Mario 64 reference.

I think if you and all of the other vampires stopped trying to make yourself immune to the usual ways to destroy you then people would stop creating new ways to do it.

Similar, the chanting on the file select screen in SOTN is “ I pee blood, for sure“
Well if all you drank was blood then it would make sense that you would pee blood.

A friend of mine has maintained since childhood that Mario is saying "Let's pickle". He'll be happy to learn he's not the only one!

When you select a level in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, the eponymous character utters, "Let's indenture!"

Oh man, I just have to mention, because I love this story, that the chanting on the SOTN file select is actually "key largo," and if I'm remembering this right, it's sung by composer Michiru Yamane's sister, who just happened to be a trained opera singer. Yamane called her up and was like "hey I need your voice in this track real quick." Or it might have been Iga's sister. At any rate, it was someone's sister.

ETA: I had to check my work, and I was correct, it was Yamane's sister. See this video (about 5 minutes in) for where Iga talks about it. Also this whole video is worth watching.

It's definitely "kyrie eleison" in Rondo, but I can't tell if that's what it's supposed to be in Symphony.

Wait, it's not "diaper and dentures"?! I thought it was a comment about the inexorable advancement of old age
