Top: the first level of the “Wario Wear” microgame in WarioWare: Mega Microgames. Wario starts the microgame wearing striped underwear and gains further clothes as it progresses, which makes it logical to assume that this is the most basic sprite that the rest of the clothes are superimposed on.
Middle: However, looking at the contents of the console’s graphical memory during the microgame, we see that there is actually an even more undressed state of Wario that is present in the scene, but not visible due to the underwear covering it.
Bottom: The assembled fully undressed Wario sprites.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, leaving the battlefield while fighting King Lakitu in Yoshi Star Galaxy will cause him to fall asleep until Mario returns.
In the Japanese version of Super Mario 64, it is possible to change the direction Mario is facing during the cutscene after collecting a Bowser Key by standing under the key’s spawning point and entering first-person view. Note that in this version, the key appears as a Power Star after collecting it.

In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, almost all frames of Mario and Luigi’s animations are saved as separate sprites instead of being split up into elements. The only exception is Mario during the execution of the Luiginary Hammer attack, where his sprites are present in the data without arms.
