An official Japanese 1988 guide for Super Mario Bros. 3 contains a small drawing of a Thwomp on the cover that, instead of the usual grimace, has a mischievous, cat-like expression. I have created a high-quality recreation of this Thwomp.

The jump in storage capacity from Nintendo 64 cartridges to GameCube discs allowed the developers to be astonishingly generous with the storage in comparison. A Super Mario Sunshine cutscene of a single image fading in and out is larger than the entirety of Super Mario 64.

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.

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 Sunshine, there is a small plant in Gelato Beach that raises a staircase when sprayed with water. In the files, an unused, presumably corrupt animation for it exists that shows it slowly stretching in an unsettling manner.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time contains an unused enemy called the Scoot Bloop, a Blooper whimsically wearing shoes. It has two attacks: a regular one and a "do nothing forever" attack where it just freezes in place and refuses to end its turn, trapping the player indefinitely.

In a 1996 interview about Super Mario 64, Shigeru Miyamoto said he really wanted to make Mario throw MIPS the Rabbit by his ears, and would have done it if the team had just one more month.

Piranha Plants in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door are the sleepiest creatures in the game, with some of their subtypes being up to 110% sleepy. This may be a reference to the famously sleepy Piranha Plants from Super Mario 64.

Using a specific setup in Super Mario Maker 2, it is possible to create a "Negative Space Koopa Troopa". It will not only be invisible, but make objects behind it invisible as well, appearing as a walking hole in reality.

In Super Mario 3D Land, the welcome screen that is displayed when starting the game for the first time appears to be much less enthusiastic about the game in the European version compared to the US version.

A glitch may occur in Super Mario Galaxy when played on a Nintendo Switch 2 whereby Mario will get stuck in freefall in the tunnel in Gateway Galaxy. The usual failsafe that would kill Mario for falling too long does not activate here, so Mario will tumble forever and never die.
