The “dead flying Mario” glitch from Super Mario 64. Go to the cannon in the corner of Shifting Sand Land with a Wing Cap and 4 or less energy units remaining, and aim as far up and left as possible out of the cannon. Mario will hit an invisible wall and lose all his energy while falling back into the cannon, but you can still shoot him out and fly around with 0 energy units. When you touch the ground, Mario will finally die.

This background from Yoshi’s Island is made out of two layers, the cave layer and the star layer behind it. When Yoshi moves, the parallax effect causes the star layer to scroll relative to the cave layer. Certain isolated pixels in the cave layer are transparent, so that whenever they align with a star in the layer below, they become white for one frame, creating the illusion of sparkling.
