In Super Mario World, it is possible to defeat Ludwig von Koopa extremely easily with a Fire Flower the following way: after entering the boss room, press R in the middle of the room to make the screen scroll right until Ludwig comes into view. This will cause Ludwig’s hitbox to activate, allowing him to be hit by Mario’s fireballs, but not his AI, resulting in him standing there motionlessly until he dies. (Footage recorded by me in a SNES emulator.)

In Super Mario Sunshine, Mario’s shadow is made out of overlapping circles. Most of the time, this is not too conspicuously different from a true shadow; however, swimming above a slanted surface reveals the loose nature of the shadow as the circles begin to come apart. Here, Mario is swimming in the Pianta Village hot spring. (Footage recorded by me in a GC emulator.)

In the “Beware of Bouldergeist” mission of Ghostly Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy, performing a long jump from the outer layer of the planetoid with the bouncy core and circling the core a few times without touching it will cause Mario to fly off into space and lose a life.
