Top: in the Super Mario Maker series, the lava in the Super Mario Bros. style is animated, compared to the original game where it is a static image. However, the animation is relatively simplistic; the top layer of waves moves left while the bottom one moves right.
Bottom: there exists a more elaborate animation of the lava in that style, which can be seen in Super Mario Bros. Deluxe. Here, the waves change shape on each frame. Why this animation, which predates Super Mario Maker by 16 years, was not used in favor of introducing a new, lower-quality animation is unknown.

The hidden Gold Mini Mario song from Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move. The game features a “toy collection” where different toys can be unlocked by perfectly completing the game’s levels. The final reward, earned by perfecting all levels, is a Gold Mini Mario toy that plays this remix of the Super Mario Bros. invincibility theme when examined.

Top: in Paper Mario, the Star Beam move is described as being specifically used against Bowser when he activates the Star Rod. At no point during the game is any other function of that move mentioned.
Bottom: however, it has hidden additional functionality: it removes all positive status effects from all enemies. In this footage, the two Hammer Bros. are flashing due to having received a +1 Defense buff from the Magikoopa. After performing Star Beam, the effect is removed and they are no longer flashing.
