I was playing through Super Mario Bros 2 on the mario game and watch and accidentally got a free life when I touched the flag pole. Turns out you can get one if your coins are a multiple of 11 and the time left matches the number.

That sounds just like how you unlock coin ships in Super Mario Bros 3. Is this a reference to Super Mario Bros 2 (the lost levels) or are they both a reference to something else?
