In Super Mario 64, rooms in Peach’s Castle load into memory when Mario approaches the door. However, the entrance to Hazy Maze Cave only starts its rippling animation when Mario enters the room it is in. By moving the camera to be able to see inside the room before Mario enters it, it’s possible to see that the entrance is blue before its animation starts.

In the opening scene of Paper Mario, Parakarry doesn’t leave the area or disappear upon delivering the letter. Instead, he simply flies out of sight and hides behind a tree.
A piece of official art for Mario Party 4 contains a scene of Waluigi chasing a butterly in the background. Due to the small size of the original picture used on Nintendo’s website, it’s hard to see the details on Waluigi. However, one of the Mario Party e-cards enables us to see the artwork in a higher resolution.
