In Super Mario Galaxy 2, there is a way to skip the last part of Rightside Down Galaxy simply by performing a backflip onto the wall surrounding the 2D segment from the small green platform right before the gravity arrows start, as depicted in the top image. Following the wall, a 1-Up Mushroom can be found, showing that this shortcut was intended. Then, simply jump down from the wall towards the Star to collect it, as depicted in the bottom image.

In the intro to Super Mario Galaxy, Princess Peach reads a letter she sent to Mario out loud, where she mentions that she would be waiting for him at the castle on the night of the Star Festival. In the ending to New Super Mario Bros. Wii, this is referenced by having her read the same letter, but become interrupted by Bowser halfway through. Notable is the fact that the voice sample is not reused; listening closely, we can hear that the line is pronounced differently in the New Super Mario Bros. Wii version, meaning it was re-recorded for that purpose.

Unused enemy found in the code of Super Paper Mario that appears as a circle of four rapidly rotating Marios. The Marios are in fact copies of the playable Mario - they mimic all of his animations, and attempting to Tattle them gives the same information as Tattling the playable Mario. Jumping onto the Marios hurts Mario - although whether this is due to the circle’s status as an enemy or due to Mario’s jumping hurting the rotating Marios, hurting him in turn since they are copies of him, is unclear.
