In Super Mario World, it is possible to start a new file with one coin already collected. To do this, you must bring up the file select menu on the title screen on the exact frame Mario touches a coin during the demo gameplay, and start a new file. If done correctly, the coin counter in the upper right corner of the screen will show 1 instead of 0 during the intro cutscene.
3D render of Mario tiptoeing atop a Nintendo 64 controller with a Rumble Pak, used by Nintendo for the 1996 Space World trade show. While connoisseurs of Super Mario 64 official art will recognize Mario’s pose from artwork used in the game’s manual, this is in fact a separate render and not merely a superimposition of existing Mario art on top of the controller, as the lighting on Mario’s model is different in this image.
Splash page from a Super Mario World manga. True to the depiction of Luigi in the original release of the game, where his sprite was merely a recolored version of Mario’s sprite, Luigi in this manga looks identical to Mario except for his clothes and hat.
