In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, whenever Luigi performs his grab move, his hat moves up slightly, revealing that his head is not modeled past his forehead. It is possible to zoom in on the gap and see the inside of Luigi’s hat through the empty space in his head.

The most amount of distance Mario will slip on ice in a 2D game is in the following scenario in Super Mario Maker 2: running at full speed in the Super Mario Bros. 3 style, on Ice Blocks, in the Snow theme, at night.
When Mario passes the first arrow, all input is stopped and he begins sliding. He will slide until the second arrow, which is 26 blocks away, or just over an entire screen.

Texture for the folding screen seen in the Samurai outfit-exclusive room in Bowser’s Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey, extracted from the game’s data.
The composition is inspired by traditional Japanese ukiyo-e artwork, which often depicts Japanese landscapes. Note the snow-capped mountain in the bottom center of the painting, which resembles Mt. Fuji. Two Pokio enemies are present as well, sitting on the tree branches.

Edited official Super Mario 64 artwork where Bowser has been replaced with an evil version of Luigi,
shown in a comedy segment of an official 1997 Satellaview broadcast. The Satellaview was a

satellite transmissions; while it is most commonly known for featuring
games, it also offered shows that had live audio alongside a slideshow
of pictures.
