In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

In Super Mario 3D World, eight colorful star particles appear every time a Ground Pound is performed. An extremely rare event of all eight of them matching in color may occur with a less than 1 in 2,000,000 chance. No known recordings of this event exist.

Looking through binoculars around Moo Moo Meadows in Mario Kart World has a small chance of activating a "cute jumpscare" Easter egg whereby a group of Para-Biddybuds will suddenly look into the binoculars from the other side.

Artwork used internally at DIC Entertainment during the production of the Super Mario World cartoon, replacing Marge Simpson with Mario. According to a former DIC employee, this was made due to an inside joke at the studio, though the exact nature of the joke has been lost.

Due to the unique way Super Mario Bros. stores its maps, its level designers were at the mercy of the decorative hills and bushes when placing bottomless pits. While the pits can be placed freely, the decorations are non-negotiable and dictate the level design.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Wild Glide Galaxy is "larger than the universe", going outside the boundaries of its own skybox. The game simply drags the skybox alongside Mario's position to keep the area immediately around him within the boundaries.

In Super Mario RPG, the Guerrilla enemy is a "knock-off" of Donkey Kong. This is referenced in a unique way by its Japanese name, which replaces two of its characters with similar ones as though on a bootleg product logo. In English, this could be conveyed as e.g. "Donkev Konq".

In Donkey Kong Bananza, DK's banana awareness is tied to how far the camera is zoomed out. If the bananas are offscreen, this can create the impression of him playing a silly game with the camera where he makes a funny face only when the player isn't looking closely.

From the moment of this post, Super Mario Bros. is now closer to World War II than it is to the present day.

In 2017, the U.S. government used a cover of music from Yoshi's Island DS on one of their websites, presumably without permission, as the music was removed immediately after this was publicly discovered.

In Mario Kart World, NPCs will park their cars, exit them, and walk around. However, the game does not actually keep track who each car belongs to. As such, a different NPC than the owner may drive away with a car, seemingly stealing it.

The DOS version of Mario is Missing does not have voice acting in the ending. However, unused voice lines meant for it exist in the files. Below is a recreation of the cutscene with the voices edited in.

This in-store display for a 2019 line of official Mario clothing is possibly the most inaccurate Super Mario Bros. artwork ever used in an official capacity. Nearly every element of the image is either wrongly sized, misaligned, or placed in a nonsensical manner.

Due to a bizarre code interdepency in Super Mario Sunshine, Mario can gain permanent aggression to durians. While normally, he can handle them gently, if Mario enters a sewer and jumps once, he will become incapable of kicking them with anything except full force.

Mario Party: The Top 100 contains the unexpectedly profound test message "It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything." This is actually a quote from the 1999 film Fight Club.

if you really think about it, red steel (the 2006 wii game) kinda did some of the same things the yakuza series did before it really got off the ground (by that point i think only Y1 was out, with the sequel just around the corner)
