In Donkey Kong Country 2, a glitch can recolor Diddy’s boombox and Dixie’s guitar to a golden color scheme. In Hot-Head Hop, if Squitter is left behind just before the “No Squitter” sign, the items Diddy and Dixie will produce at the goal will be colored gold. (Footage recorded by me in a SNES emulator.)

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, it is possible to force Princess Peach to assume Paper Mode or Tube Mode by using a glitch to enter a chapter’s last cutscene with Mario in Paper Mode and then continuing to hold R until Peach is being controlled. Note that in Tube Mode, Peach can jump, which she cannot do normally. (Source)

In Super Paper Mario, the exterior of Fort Francis is visible for only a few frames in full during a cutscene at the beginning of Chapter 3-4. After a fraction of a second, Bowser begins talking and his speech bubble obscures the top half of the fort, after which the camera focuses on the characters and never returns to the wide shot of the area. In addition, it is impossible to watch this cutscene again on the same save file. I have taken an enhanced screenshot of the fort during the brief moment it is visible, at four times the game’s normal resolution. This should be the most high-quality image of Fort Francis possible.
