In Super Mario 64, pressing C-Up before starting a slide will result in Mario assuming a glitched sliding state where his speed builds up indefinitely. This can be used to clip through walls and skip parts of the slides.

In Paper Mario: Color Splash, Mario can get covered with six different colors of paint during the battle against Roy, each of which affect him differently. This is Mario’s animation under the influence of the orange paint, which gives the message “Mario’s feeling self-conscious…” Since the paint is covering his head in-game, the fact that he is blushing can only be seen by extracting the sprites from the game’s files.
