In the selection screen of Super Smash Bros. Melee, characters are represented by artwork rather than 3D models, as they were in Super Smash Bros. However, in the game’s data, unused animations for a scrapped 3D selection screen still exist. This is Donkey Kong’s “selected” pose; due to being unfinished, his necktie’s animation does not follow his body correctly.

The hidden Gold Mini Mario song from Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move. The game features a “toy collection” where different toys can be unlocked by perfectly completing the game’s levels. The final reward, earned by perfecting all levels, is a Gold Mini Mario toy that plays this remix of the Super Mario Bros. invincibility theme when examined.

In the River Survival mode of Super Mario Party, the middle path in the last section leads to a route called “Kamek’s Curse”, where Kamek appears and creates hazards in the way of the boat. One of the hazards is turbo ramps. It is possible to take one of those ramps at such an angle that the boat jumps out of the water and into the cliffs surrounding the river.
The cliffs do not have collision, which results in the boat passing through and continuing to fall into a white void indefinitely until the timer runs out, whereupon the players receive a Game Over.

Top: in Paper Mario, the Star Beam move is described as being specifically used against Bowser when he activates the Star Rod. At no point during the game is any other function of that move mentioned.
Bottom: however, it has hidden additional functionality: it removes all positive status effects from all enemies. In this footage, the two Hammer Bros. are flashing due to having received a +1 Defense buff from the Magikoopa. After performing Star Beam, the effect is removed and they are no longer flashing.
