In Japan, Super Mario 64 had a re-release that added Rumble Pak functionality. In that version, pressing Z on the title screen fills it with copies of Mario’s face.
In Super Mario 64, it’s possible to reach the island in the middle of the underground lake in Hazy Maze Cave by sliding under the elevator from the red coin room to the rolling boulder room as it’s descending.

In Super Mario 64, when you enter Jolly Roger Bay before getting the first star, the sky is dark and there is fog present. After getting the star, the sky brightens and the fog goes away, and it’s impossible to see those effects again on that save file, even when reselecting the mission.
