* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' has the Sand Kingdom, a rare example of a ShiftingSandLand ([[HailfirePeaks partially]]) based on an American desert instead of an African one. At the entrance to the world is Tostarena Town, an adobe village populated by a race of cheerful guitar-strumming, sombrero-toting skeleton folk patterned off of alfeñique skulls. Furthermore, there are also {{Mayincatec}} ruins outside of town ruled by a giant Olmec-like stone head called Knucklotec, and stone jaguars called Jaxis can be ridden across the level. Unusually, however, there are also sunglasses-wearing EenieMeenieMinyMoai in the level as well.

They have an encounter with one Miguel Santos, a shady lawyer who offers quickie divorces--instant divorces, in fact. Mariachis play in the streets and Dan gets sick from drinking the water. The Mexican government was so offended by this film that it barred Music/FrankSinatra, who starred as Dan, from entering the country.

Most Mexicans actually do not mind the common stereotypes and will either admit to them or, in the best of cases, [[MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales accept them with open arms]]. Poor use of the stereotype isn't unheard of, though. [[VocalMinority And no; like all stereotypes, not all Mexicans are like that.]]
