Artwork of Che Guevara as Mario from an article about online gaming in the Brazilian EGM magazine. Although the rest of the magazine is in Portuguese, the accompanying quote is in Spanish, due to Che Guevara having spoken Spanish himself. It translates to “You have to play online, but without ever losing the connection”.

This official artwork of Princess Peach was not created to promote any game in particular, but rather to be used on Nintendo’s official websites. The regular size at which it appears there is relatively small; however, downloadable PDFs from the Play Nintendo section of the Nintendo of America site include a version of it that, when the PDF is decompiled, is revealed to be an infinitely scalable vector rather than a regular raster image.
This allows us to export this artwork at any size in perfect quality, creating a high-definition version of it.

In Big Boo’s Haunt in Super Mario 64, if Mario clips through the bottom of the entrance platform of the merry-go-round and exits through the door while being partially below the floor, Mario will immediately die. During this, the camera moves far away, viewing Mario from below briefly as the screen fades out.
This is due to the floor below the door being part of the merry-go-round and still moving Mario as he goes through the door, resulting in him being briefly out of bounds, killing him. Standing on a moving platform while going through any door in the game could theoretically result in this happening; however, this is the only scenario where a moving platform is actually next to a door.
