From a Japanese commercial for Kirin Lemon, a lemon-flavoured soft drink; featuring a Nintendo cross-promotion. A Kirin Lemon representative wearing a Mario outfit (with a barely-visible light yellow L on the hat, standing for “Lemon”) gives Yoshi a can of the beverage to drink.

In Super Mario RPG, entering the “save game” dialogue and selecting a save other than the one most recently used results in the game verifying the decision with a prompt, “Not your last save. Save here anyway?” Answering “No” 20 times in a row and then finally answering “Yes” on the 21st time will result in Mario assuming a saddened pose, identical to his “Silence” status affliction sprite.

In a 2010 interview with Yoshiaki Koizumi, producer of Super Mario Galaxy 2, he was asked by Japanese magazine Famitsu about how Yoshi can survive in space in the game. His answer was “because he’s a space Yoshi”. This is confirmed in the game as there is a special version of the sign in front of Yoshi’s house in Sky Station Galaxy, which can only be accessed during that galaxy’s third mission. Unlike the regular version of the sign, which contains a message signed “Yoshi”, this one is signed “Yoshi the space dragon”.

Top: the only official artwork of Silver Luigi that has been released by Nintendo as an image file in a press kit. As you can see, Silver Luigi is largely obscured by Gold Mario. No standalone image of Silver Luigi was released.
Bottom: However, Silver Luigi appears unobscured in a single piece of artwork; seen on the inside of the New Super Mario Bros. 2 box. A high-resolution photograph of it was provided to me by twitter.com user “Nintendle”. This image is currently the most high-quality image of Silver Luigi available on the Internet.
