In Super Mario Bros., whenever Small Mario hits a Brick Block from below, the Brick Block will rise slightly. If a Spiny walks onto the block during this animation, it will not treat the block as solid ground and instead of being hit as expected, it will fall through, killing Mario.

In the Wooded Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey, there is a very steep slope that Mario cannot normally walk up, and needs Rocket Flowers to climb. By strategically building a stair to that section using a Sherm, it is possible to bring a Goomba up to the slope.
This reveals that Goombas have a normally unseen interaction with slopes: if the player keeps shaking the Joy-Cons, the Goomba will quickly slide up the slope on one foot in the manner depicted.
