Left: in Super Mario World, if a key is somehow destroyed, such as by being dropped into a bottomless pit, it will respawn at its original location.
Right: however, if the key is inside Yoshi’s mouth, and Yoshi is then dropped into a pit, the key will not respawn. This is a consequence of the fact that all objects carried in Yoshi’s mouth do not despawn upon Yoshi being dropped into a pit. These objects then stay in the game’s memory until the room is exited. With unlimited time and unlimited Yoshis, it would be possible to fill up the memory with objects to the point the game would crash, as it would try to load new objects without being able to unload the old ones.
The officially licensed New Super Mario Bros. Wii plushes of Mario, Luigi and their power-up forms have caps that are attached at only one point to the characters’ heads and can easily be accidentally torn off. If this happens, it is revealed that the characters’ hair is modeled only halfway, giving them the appearance of balding.

As is commonly known, the North American Super Mario Bros. 2 was a modified version of the earlier Japanese-only Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic. One graphical difference between the games was made specifically to reduce eye strain. The waterfalls in Doki Doki Panic are extremely fast (left) and were slowed down significantly for Super Mario Bros. 2 (right).

In Super Mario Galaxy, a series of inputs at the start of a race against Cosmic Mario results in Mario gaining a temporary speed boost at the start of a race. To achieve this, three steps must be performed:
1. Between 3 and 2 on the countdown, hold Up on the Control Stick. Mario should stretch his arms out behind him.
2. Between 2 and 1 on the countdown, hold Z (while continuing to hold Up). Mario should put his hands on the floor.
3. Finally, while holding down Up and Z, press A when the “Go!” text appears. Mario should take off at a high speed while glowing yellow.
