In Paper Mario, the battle system is programmed in such a way that positive attack modifiers apply to each individual instance of damage being dealt, even if an attack deals damage several times like Bow’s Smack move.
In the Crystal Palace, there are battles where Duplighosts appear alongside Red Magikoopas. If Mario’s current partner is Bow, the Duplighosts will turn into a copy of her. Then, if the Red Magikoopa raises the Duplighosts’ attack, they will be able to deal extremely high amounts of damage due to the modifier applying to each individual slap. Here, we can see the Duplighost dealing 6 damage per smack after 1 power-up, 10 after 2 power-ups, and 14 after three power-ups, making this the most powerful enemy attack in the game.

Top: In Yoshi’s Island, Yoshi is able to perform a Flutter Jump with extended height after jumping on an enemy. However, if he touches the ground before Flutter Jumping, this ability will be forfeited. One exception exists: if Yoshi touches the ground for only a single frame, he will still be able to perform the extended Flutter Jump afterward. In this footage, Yoshi jumps on a Shy Guy in Level 1-2, then touches a pole for a single frame, and uses this to gain enough height to Flutter Jump over the wall.
Bottom: This allows Yoshi to skip the majority of the level by bypassing the pipe detour leading to the level’s other major area. Now Yoshi can simply run along the top of the wall instead.

Top: Past the first boss door of the Forest Fortress in Super Mario World, there is an extremely wide lava-filled pit, on the other side of which is an optional reward of 9 blocks with 1-Up Mushrooms inside, as well as another boss door, leading to the same boss. Attempting to fly across the pit with Cape Mario can be difficult due to the large amount of Lava Bubbles shooting out from the lava.
Bottom: An easy way to cross the pit is to take a running start as Mario and then perform a Spin Jump, keeping A and B pressed. While normally, a Spin Jump would not take Mario far enough to clear the gap, the Lava Bubbles are actually placed in precise locations so that Mario will automatically bounce off them.

In Super Mario 64, jumping toward a Tox Box in Shifting Sand Land during a precise point of its movement in the manner depicted will result in Mario instantly dying. Mario will play the animation of sinking into quicksand despite being in mid-air; this is merely one of several different ways quicksand can kill Mario remotely, another being punching near a ledge, as seen in this post.

Top two images: the skybox seen in the Spin-Dig Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2, normal view and zoomed-out.
Bottom two images: the model for the sphere with holes is actually taken directly from Super Mario Galaxy, where it is used for the sphere at the end of the Bowser’s Galaxy Reactor stage, where the final battle against Bowser takes place. The only change is the texture used; the size, amount and relative positioning of the holes are identical.
