In Super Mario 64 DS, it is possible to pound signposts into the ground. An additional detail is the difference between the characters: while Yoshi, Mario and Luigi take two Ground Pounds to fully pound the signposts, Wario can do it in a single Ground Pound due to his greater weight.

Rare high-quality screenshot of the Spaceworld 2001 demo of Mario Kart: Double Dash, which showed the game in such an early state of development that it did not yet have the main mechanic of featuring two characters riding in the same kart, instead looking more like a more advanced version of Mario Kart 64. Most existing images of this demo are photos that were taken of a screen at an angle; this appears to be a direct capture.
