In the River Survival mode of Super Mario Party, the middle path in the last section leads to a route called “Kamek’s Curse”, where Kamek appears and creates hazards in the way of the boat. One of the hazards is turbo ramps. It is possible to take one of those ramps at such an angle that the boat jumps out of the water and into the cliffs surrounding the river.
The cliffs do not have collision, which results in the boat passing through and continuing to fall into a white void indefinitely until the timer runs out, whereupon the players receive a Game Over.

In Cool, Cool Mountain in Super Mario 64, if the baby penguin is released in a specific spot at the edge of the mother penguin’s pond after being returned, it will make a high jump as it walks around in a circle. The baby penguin is normally incapable of jumping and will only do it in this specific scenario.

In Super Mario World, it is possible to create Koopas from empty shells under specific circumstances. In the footage, Mario is carrying an empty shell while riding a Lava Lift over a ledge made of lava. If the shell is allowed to touch lava for a single frame before being thrown upward, it will transform into a shell with a Koopa inside.
When the shell falls down, the Koopa can be seen emerging from it. Unfortunately, there are no spots in the game where it is possible for the Koopa to land on solid ground after this, so the Koopa must unfortunately fall into lava, existing only for around one second from being created to being destroyed.
