Top: the bonus room with the two Lumas offering a chance to win 1-Ups in exchange for Star Bits and coins, accessed by taking a pipe on Starship Mario in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Note that the Lumas, as well as the cubes they are holding, have glow/sparkle effects.
Middle: if the bonus room is entered, then exited, it is possible to see an extremely faint speck of light on Starship Mario by entering first-person view mode while on the deck and looking to the right of the tree (circled red). This is best seen when Starship Mario is parked in World S, as the skyboxes of the other worlds contain too much detail for the lights to be discernible.
Bottom: zooming in on the light, it is revealed to be the glow effects from the cubes the Lumas in the bonus rooms are holding. This spot is actually the location of the bonus room, but it unloads almost entirely when it is exited. The only objects left are the glow particles, which can be seen from far away.

In Super Mario 64, Bowser has 26 different animations, of which almost all are used. Animation 4, one of the unused animations, results in Bowser’s constituent parts rapidly oscillating in random directions. In this footage, the index number of the animation is shown on the left, below the life counter. The regular Animation 3 is followed by the unused Animation 4.
