The ending to Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on the Wii U (bottom) contains the exact same scene as the intro to Super Mario 3D World (top), but rerendered with different shaders and with a different skybox. Here is a comparison between the two.
While the new shaders improve the colors of the characters, some elements of the scene depended on the original methods; the fog covering up Bowser’s lower body is not as opaque in the Captain Toad scene, making the distortion of his legs in the pipe more visible.
