At the beginning of Good Egg Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy, Mario can approach a house, where standing in front of the door makes a “Read” icon appear. Pressing A, Mario will then read a message the owner left on the door. However, what is really happening is that the developers took a shortcut: instead of programming a readable door object, they hid a signpost, the default readable object, inside the house. Mario is interacting with the signpost through the door, making it appear as though he was reading the door.

In Super Mario Bros. 3, Hammer Mario can’t slide down slopes, since he retreats into his shell when you duck. However, a sliding sprite for Hammer Mario still exists in the code and can be seen in this bonus room in level 6-10. If Mario is already sliding when he touches the Hammer Suit, he will display Hammer Mario’s sliding animation.
