Top: in the background of Level 5-6, Frosty Fruits, in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, a wooden construction can be seen through a window.
Bottom: the object is actually a recreation of one of Bowser’s tanks seen in the first level of World 8 in Super Mario Bros. 3. This has been confirmed by one of the game’s 3D model designers, Eric Kozlowsky, on his personal blog.

Unused “Self-Replenishing Item Box” switch e-Card effect in Super Mario Advance 4. Scanning this unreleased e-Card would make a Super Mario World-style item box appear on the top of the screen. Whenever Mario and Luigi lose a power-up, the item box dispenses the power-up it currently displays and is automatically refilled with another power-up chosen at random; the power-ups include even the rare Frog Suit, Tanooki Suit and Hammer Suit.

The European version of Super Paper Mario contains a glitch where if the player enters all unlocked rooms in Chapter 2-2 and returns to Mimi without getting the key to progress to the final, locked room, the game will freeze upon talking to Mimi (note the movement of the flying Pixls), and the console needs to be restarted. Nintendo recalled many copies of the game upon discovering the glitch after release to replace them with an updated version, so this glitch can mostly be found in Super Paper Mario discs purchased in 2007.
