Was there an 80s/90s movie that featured a scene where someone calls in a nintendo help desk where some guy helps people figure out how to solve levels?

Yes or a tv show i cant remember which
Almost certainly yes. Video game tip lines were a part of culture back then you can be sure they've been referenced
I think there was a scene like that in one of the Beethoven (dog) movies
The wizard.

Wasn't that whole movie just a commercial for SMB3?

Not entirely. Majority of it was nintendo product placement though.

No shortage of Capcom, Konami, Tecmo etc games in that montage though which is nice and just in hindsight makes it feel like less of a Nintendo commercial. IIRC there were commercials for the NES that teased games from third party developers, I guess.
Shit I guess there was just a Nintendo Ubisoft crossover game that came out like last month. Nintendo really knows branding.
