In Level 4-5 of Super Mario Bros. 3, the camera doesn’t move vertically unless Mario is touching an object offscreen. This block containing a vine is right below the edge of the screen, so you can’t see the vine growing from it and it’s fully grown by the time you can jump on top of the block. However, by using a P-Wing, you can force vertical camera movement and thus see the growing vine, which is glitched and uses a placeholder sprite that doesn’t appear anywhere else in the game.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Peach types on a keyboard on several occasions. The animation is only ever seen from behind. Here it is from the front.
Easter egg in Super Mario Galaxy 2: the cloud used in the skybox of Starshine Beach Galaxy is actually taken from the Delfino Plaza skybox in Super Mario Sunshine and mirrored.
