Unused area found in the data of Super Mario RPG. The tiles belonging to this area no longer exist in the code; therefore, all that is still present is the collision data, i.e. generic tiles representing solid platforms Mario can stand on.

Super Mario Galaxy contains models for Mario and Luigi’s skeletons, seen normally only for a few frames when they are hit by electricity. Modifying the game’s code, we can force Mario’s model to permanently change into the skeleton model. This has the side effect of allowing us to see what parts of Mario’s body that at first appear to be part of his model are actually separate objects. When Skeleton Mario picks up a Bee Mushroom, he gains wings, indicating that the wings are a different object attached to Bee Mario, not part of Bee Mario’s actual model.
