In Super Mario Sunshine, a unique glitch changes Mario’s interaction with durians simply by jumping inside a sewer in Delfino Plaza.
Top: usually, when Mario touches a durian, it will be kicked away with a force proportional to Mario’s speed when he touches it.
Middle: however, if Mario enters a sewer and jumps, this causes some of his hitbox interactions to change permanently until he leaves Delfino Plaza.
Bottom: upon returning from the sewer, Mario will always kick durians at full force, no matter how slowly he moves. Note the durians being kicked with a disproportionate amount of force.

Officially licensed Super Mario World version of the Pop-up Pirate game, featuring Mario popping out of a barrel and various items from the game replacing the swords. This was manufactured by Tomy, the creators of the original Pop-up Pirate, and is in fact the earliest variation of that game using a license from another company.

In Super Mario 64, it is possible to hang on to the side of the head of the penguin near the top of Snowman’s Land in the manner depicted. Just like hiding behind the penguin or standing on top of the penguin’s head, doing this also protects Mario from the snowman’s wind breath, despite the wind particles touching Mario directly.

In Super Mario Sunshine, there is a hedge near the big windmill in Bianco Hills where sidestepping off of it in a precise spot will result in Mario being transported far below the level, into an invisible pool of water. It is possible to see the entirety of the level from below by looking up; however, it is not possible to get back to the main area. Staying here will make Mario eventually run out of air and die.

In Super Mario 64 DS, there is a very precise point on the wooden bridge outside Princess Peach’s Castle where, if the player character runs against it, he will continue gaining speed indefinitely, with the running animation becoming faster and faster. After some time, the character model starts to deform from the extreme speed by folding in on itself.

Officially licensed Donkey Kong Country light-up keychain from Japan. What makes this merchandise unique is that it is not based on anything seen in the actual game, but only a piece of promotional artwork (top image, seen on the tag). The artwork was made at a point in development when Donkey Kong wore a helmet in dark stages; this was replaced with Squawks the Parrot holding a flashlight in the finished game. Thus, this merchandise is based on cut content.
