In Super Mario World, using Yoshi to jump to the platform with the key and keyhole in Donut Plains-1 in the manner depicted will result in the camera not scrolling upward to keep up with Mario. When the key is then inserted into the keyhole, the keyhole animation plays in the wrong position in the level.

Top: The title screen animation from Mario Party 5. Note that the middle of the round character-filled background behind Mario is visible for a few frames before the “Mario Party 5″ logo appears over it.
Middle: A screenshot of one of the frames before the logo appears. A penguin can be seen just under Yoshi on the right side of the background. This penguin becomes completely covered up by the logo and is only visible during the few frames before the logo appears.
Bottom: Zoomed-in and rotated images of the hidden penguin.

When starting up Mario Party Advance for the first time, the player is asked to fill out a passport with personal information. After the passport is complete, the Star asks an additional question that does not appear in the passport, but which is still saved to the game files. In the North American version (top), the question is “What is your silliest secret?” However, the European version (bottom) takes a sudden serious turn and instead asks players to input their single biggest secret. Why this change was made is unknown.
