In Super Mario Sunshine, the differences between surfing Bloopers are presented as a tradeoff between speed and handling, appearing to not have any clear advantage over each other. However, this is not true, and the green Blooper is actually OBJECTIVELY SUPERIOR to the other two.

In Mario Kart: Double Dash, heavy racers are objectively better when racing against the player. While it may seem random which CPUs are the best in any given race, on the highest difficulties, the top team is actually guaranteed to contain one of the five heavy characters.

In Super Mario Sunshine, Mario is immune to bees while talking. He will be pushed around by them, but not be harmed while he's engaged in conversation. Note that he is not simply immune to damage - e.g. he will still die to heat stroke while talking. It is specifically bees.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, arbitrary many Super Appeal badges can be obtained. "Appealmaxing" by stacking 32 of them makes Mario so incredibly appealing that any audience, no matter how small (a mere 2 Goombas in the post) will cheer him on hard enough to fully restore his Star Power.

Due to the forced diagonal-down perspective in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a trick is employed whereby Mario actually walks faster towards/away from the camera than alongside the camera to create the illusion of smooth movement from that angle in particular.

An obscure Super Mario Sunshine worldbuilding detail seen in extremely blurry writing on the map screen is that parts of Delfino Plaza are called "Mouth Bay" and "Nose Beach". This is due to Isle Delfino's dolphin shape, whereby the bay is at its mouth and the beach at its nose.

In Luigi's Mansion, there are decorative leaking pipes on the ceiling of the Pipe Room. If Luigi shoots ice at them, they will stop leaking, presumably due to the water inside freezing over. There is no purpose to this interaction other than maximum realism.
