In Super Mario Bros. 2, it is possible to fly extra fast on a flying carpet in Level 1-2 by defeating the Pidgit on the first flying carpet that appears, going left to cause a second Pidgit to spawn, defeating that Pidgit and then hopping back onto the first carpet.

In Wario Land 3, quickly pressing Down repeatedly on top of the ladder at the beginning of the Stagnant Swamp level will result in the camera moving downward while Wario stays at the top of the ladder. When the camera arrives at the bottom, Wario will be inside the ground. Moving too far to the right will make Wario fall off screen, however, he will then reappear on top of the screen.

Unused microgame found in the code of WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames, based on the Japanese-only F-1 Race for the Famicom; likely intended to be another one of 9-Volt’s microgames. The action prompt was not localized properly due to the game being unused, reading “Continues running”.

Top: in the intro to New Super Mario Bros., lightning strikes Peach’s Castle in the background, resulting in Toads panicking around the castle. Due to the Nintendo DS’s resolution and the Toads’ distance from the camera, they appear to be only a few pixels tall and so no details about their appearance can be discerned.
Middle: increasing the console’s internal resolution allows us to see the Toads slightly more clearly. We can see that they do not look like the usual generic Toad model.
Bottom: Zooming in further, we can see that the Toads are actually copies of Toadsworth (in-game screenshot of Toadsworth in a Toad House for comparison).

Top: in the background of Level 5-6, Frosty Fruits, in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, a wooden construction can be seen through a window.
Bottom: the object is actually a recreation of one of Bowser’s tanks seen in the first level of World 8 in Super Mario Bros. 3. This has been confirmed by one of the game’s 3D model designers, Eric Kozlowsky, on his personal blog.
