In Super Mario Bros. 2, it is possible to fly extra fast on a flying carpet in Level 1-2 by defeating the Pidgit on the first flying carpet that appears, going left to cause a second Pidgit to spawn, defeating that Pidgit and then hopping back onto the first carpet.

Top: in the intro to New Super Mario Bros., lightning strikes Peach’s Castle in the background, resulting in Toads panicking around the castle. Due to the Nintendo DS’s resolution and the Toads’ distance from the camera, they appear to be only a few pixels tall and so no details about their appearance can be discerned.
Middle: increasing the console’s internal resolution allows us to see the Toads slightly more clearly. We can see that they do not look like the usual generic Toad model.
Bottom: Zooming in further, we can see that the Toads are actually copies of Toadsworth (in-game screenshot of Toadsworth in a Toad House for comparison).

Unused “Self-Replenishing Item Box” switch e-Card effect in Super Mario Advance 4. Scanning this unreleased e-Card would make a Super Mario World-style item box appear on the top of the screen. Whenever Mario and Luigi lose a power-up, the item box dispenses the power-up it currently displays and is automatically refilled with another power-up chosen at random; the power-ups include even the rare Frog Suit, Tanooki Suit and Hammer Suit.

In Super Mario Odyssey, if Mario is wearing the Bridal Gown, he will be wearing earrings if matching it with the Black Fedora (top) and no earrings if matching it with the Musician Hat (bottom), despite the hats being extremely similar. The reason is that the Black Fedora has a blue band, while the Musician Hat has a grey band; Mario wears blue earrings to match with the blue band in the first case, and no earrings in the second, as their color would not match.
