In Super Mario 64, getting hit by the piano in Big Boo’s Haunt and then moving into the piano’s hitbox will make Mario never exit his blinking invulnerable state, making him completely safe from the piano. In fact, Mario is so safe that after not moving for a while, he will fall asleep with the piano still trying to chase him. (Footage recorded by me in a N64 emulator.)
A licensed Paper Mario-themed board game from China contains a number of Mario assets from different games, such as Super Mario 64, but among them is this Whomp-like original character. This brick creature appears in four illustrations in the game’s manual and pieces, which are all compiled here.

In Mario Party 7, a dummied-out debug mode containing a character model test
room can still be accessed by modifying addresses in the game’s memory.
Within the test room, every character has a “default pose” that can be displayed by holding down the A button. While for all other characters, this pose is either the generic T-pose or a frame of their idle animation, Mario’s default pose looks like this. (Footage recorded by me from a GC emulator.)
