Whenever Mario falls into water in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, two giant red objects appear under the area for the duration of that animation. Upon closer inspection, these objects turn out to be oversized copies of the sprites used for Mario’s arms. If Mario wears the L Emblem or W Emblem badge, the giant arms change colors accordingly.

After purchasing Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, if you look at the game’s box anywhere between starting the game and finishing it for the first time, you might get spoiled by the upper left corner of the box art. It shows a building on the moon - the base of the X-Nauts - the location of which is supposed to be a surprise that is revealed late in the game. (Source)
