In what is most likely a complete coincidence, a limited-edition shirt depicting a scene similar to the beginning of the Super Mario Odyssey trailer was sold by Nintendo in September 2014.
In Super Mario Galaxy, if Mario swims close to the glass walls of Buoy Base Galaxy, his reflection will be visible in the glass. Zooming in, we can see that the reflection is an unshaded copy of Mario floating outside the wall. The copy has a few differences from the original: it always has its fists clenched and never blinks.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, it’s possible to get Mario up to normally inaccessible high places using glitches. If he then walks over a wall, the usual result is falling offstage and quickly respawning at ground level. However, hidden invisible platforms exist in certain areas that will stop Mario in midair below the stage.

In the first trailer of Super Mario Sunshine shown in 2001, a realistically-proportioned human character appears for a brief moment as Mario runs past. This concept was quickly scrapped as no other Super Mario Sunshine beta content showed any trace of this character. Since Shigeru Miyamoto has stated that Super Mario Odyssey is a continuation of gameplay ideas from Super Mario Sunshine, it is possible that the realistic humans shown in the Super Mario Odyssey trailer are an attempt to bring back this concept.
