WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Games for the GameCube contains a special music video for the song “Four Seasons”, known as Kat and Ana’s theme song originating in WarioWare, Inc: Mega Microgames for the GBA. Part of the music video features a scene of Kat and Ana running through a forest, which is in reality footage of a person holding up paper cutouts of Kat and Ana and running while holding them, superimposed over footage of a forest.

During one very brief shot in the ending to Mario Super Sluggers, the “Γ” emblem on Waluigi’s cap is mirrored. Waluigi appears to fall victim to this type of oversight often, see this example from Mario Party 4 or this example from Itadaki Street DS.

In Super Mario Odyssey, whenever Mario is a certain distance away from the camera, his pupils become smaller, leading to his irises appearing slightly brighter. Whenever Snapshot Mode is entered, though, his pupils become the correct size again. The difference can be seen by quickly toggling between gameplay and Snapshot Mode. (The same effect applies to Cappy and other characters with similar eyes.)

Super Mario World official artwork has an idiosyncrasy where whenever Mario’s cap is either not on Mario’s head, or not properly covering it, the cap shrinks in size considerably. I have provided pairs of similar artwork from the game where the image on the left shows Mario with his cap worn properly - note the standard size of the cap - and the image on the right shows Mario in a similar pose, but with the cap not worn properly. As you can see, the cap shrinks in size in both cases.
