An official Mario Kart messaging app sticker contains a one-frame Easter egg. For a fraction of a second during the animation, Mario assumes the same pose he does on the Mario Kart DS box art.

There is a humorous error message in Paper Mario: Color Splash. When loading Luigi, the game does a quick "bone check" to see if his position is defined. If he fails his bone check, the developer console prints out "Luigi is elegal!!", likely a misspelling of "Luigi is illegal".

A Luigi's Mansion 2 HD keychain of Polterpup was packaged in such a way in Japan that the white backing and bubble wrap made him practically invisible except for his collar, playing into his ghostly nature. Whether this was deliberate or a serendipitous coincidence is unknown.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe includes a calendar that goes all the way to the year 3000. Ironically, this reaches much further than typical modern computer and smartphone calendars. As such, even now Super Mario Bros. Deluxe remains a good option to keep track of far future dates.

Promotional photos of My Chemical Romance lead vocalist Gerard Way with Mario from a 2007 interview in the Japanese Crossbeat magazine. He is quoted as saying "I'm drawn to works that are innovative and try new things", which evidently includes Mario.

In Diddy Kong Racing DS, the message when connection is lost during Download Play is "LOST ALL CHILDREN". The cartridge is internally called a "parent" and the downloaded instances its "children". While this would make sense to the developers, it has the potential to confuse or scare players.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Mario and Luigi's level-up stat gains are bizarrely based on what level Bowser is currently at. If he is at a "good" level, they will be several times more powerful. The game does not tell you which levels are good and which are bad.

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.

The "communications terminated" error screen in Super Mario 64 DS and New Super Mario Bros. is uncharacteristically startling, interrupting gameplay with a red error screen and loud siren.

In Donkey Kong Country 2, it is possible to trap Diddy Kong in a state of eternal horror. Hitting K. Rool with a team-up throw in a specific manner will cause Diddy's eyes to pop out in shock; however, he will never recover and stay in this state until the game is reset.

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.

Since the star collection and post-star collection cutscenes in Super Mario Galaxy 2 have an average length of 30 seconds and a full playthrough collects 240 stars, the player spends at least 2 hours per playthrough simply watching Mario collect stars.

The code of Super Mario World contains an unused translucent level mode, which causes the environment to appear ethereal and was as such possibly intended for ghost house levels. Below is footage of some ghost houses with the mode enabled.

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 Super Mario Sunshine, Shadow Mario's voice is created by applying a filter to Mario's voice; however, he does not use all of Mario's voice clips. By making Mario himself use the filter, we can finally hear Shadow Mario say things like "MAMA hoohahoo wow wow" and "The horror".

In one of the prototype versions of Yoshi's Island, the Baby Mario handover process is unfinished and does not always work. The Yoshi that should be waiting at the end is missing, and the playable Yoshi simply throws Baby Mario onto the ground, making him crawl off by himself.

Super Smash Bros. contains a sneaky "delayed action" anti-piracy measure to lull the illegitimate user into a false sense of security. The game will be normal the first 68 times it is launched. Starting with the 69th time, however, every selected character will turn into Mario.
