“The Art of Super Mario Odyssey” artbook contains concept drawings of all Broodals. While the others resemble their models from the finished game almost completely save for very minor details, Topper is the one that contains a more major change: in the original concept, he had a red nose.

In Super Mario 64, water takes rendering precedence over fire. In other words, if the camera is looking through fire, everything behind it will appear tinted red as it would in real life - with the exception of water, which will be unaffected.

A graphical glitch in Super Mario World that can happen only under exceedingly specific circumstances: in the Special World level “Awesome”, there is a segment where Cheep Cheeps jump up from the bottom of the screen. If Yoshi is taken into that segment, and if Mario jumps off Yoshi in such a way that Yoshi drops into the bottomless pit on the same frame that a Cheep Cheep appears, that particular Cheep Cheep will have a different palette than normal, containing the color blue. This glitch cannot occur anywhere else.

In Mario Kart 8/Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, whenever racers drive out of water onto dry land, there is a splash that covers them in water, making them appear wet for a brief period of time.
However, this also works the other way around: when a wet racer enters water, that racer will immediately become dry (note Mario’s hat no longer being shiny as soon as he reverses into the water in the footage.)
