Super Mario World has an extremely eclectic art style whereby many enemies are drawn in completely different ways. Development files reveal Mario went through many stylistic changes; it is possible that all the enemies were made to fit Mario, but at different points in time.

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the Floating High Jump badge is called "Luigi" internally. This means the playable Luigi has to have a different name - "PlayerLuigi". Whenever Luigi wears the badge, it is actually PlayerLuigi wearing Luigi.

The Super Mario 64 source code lists names for Mario's footstep sounds. The list starts off normal but becomes poetic with names like "Footsteps in the Fallen Leaves" and "More Than Anyone Else in the World". It turns out the names are actually taken from a 1994 dating simulator.

In the character selection screen of Mario Kart Wii, the princesses have tiny biker versions of themselves hidden inside their bodies. This is due to the game loading both the dress and biker models at the same time for efficiency, and simply shrinking the currently unused one.

In Donkey Kong Bananza, DK follows objects of interest with his eyes. However, he has an incredibly short attention span. Whenever a new object enters his vision, his attention is drawn to it instead. If many objects are moving, he will be distracted by each new one.

An unused object found in Yoshi's Island is the "Overly Congratulative Green Coin". It is identical in functionality to a red coin, but plays the Perfect Clear fanfare when placed in specific areas. This causes the game to appear to unnecessarily celebrate every single coin.

In Donkey Kong Bananza, Fractones can be modified by throwing chunks of dirt at them. With enough patience, so much material can be heaped on them that they reach their maximum size, a giant cube. After the cube form has been attained, no further material will adhere to them.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for Switch, characters blink even when looking away from the camera (visible in reflective surfaces). An exception is Peach. This creates the unintended impression that Peach doesn't actually need to blink and only does it for the camera.

An extremely obscure Easter egg in Super Mario Odyssey is "rare nosebirds". In three of the kingdoms, there is a 15% chance a bird that lands on Mario's nose will be replaced with a rarer variant instead. These do not occur naturally in the environment and are nose-exclusive.
