In Super Mario 64, if Mario stands under the elevator to the basement in Big Boo’s Haunt as it descends, he will overlap the elevator when it arrives at the bottom. While moving around in this state, Mario’s model will turn sideways intermittently.

On October 23rd 2015, less than a month before the release of Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Nintendo published a set of prerelease screenshots for the game. In one of these screenshots, a Toad in the background seems to be missing his eyes.
In Super Mario Galaxy, large bodies of water have a wave effect on their surface. However, this effect only covers a small, square area around Mario. In the top image, we can see the boundary between the wavy, refractive water and the rest of the water, which simply has a wave texture applied to it without actually moving. In the bottom image, by disabling the refraction and replacing it with a solid color, we can see how much area around Mario the effect covers.
