In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, when Luigi is hypnotized during the Little Fungitown story event to believe that he is Mario, approaching Princess Peach will have her tell Luigi “You’re face looks so much more… manly!”, which contains the common grammatical error of using “you’re” in place of “your”.

In Super Mario Galaxy, Mario’s flattened body can be made to fly around the level after dying through a glitch. In the Fast Foes of Toy Time comet mission in Toy Time Galaxy, positioning Mario inside a Tox Box when it is turning can sometimes result in him being squished and losing a life; however, instead of his body remaining in place, it flies up in the air. The camera attempts to follow the body and finally focuses on it when it lands on the ground; then it flies away again as the loss/Game Over animation plays.

In Super Mario Odyssey, the Binding Band (the wedding ring used by Bowser in his attempt to marry Peach) changes sizes between shots in the cutscene preceding the final boss battle. When the ring is first seen with Bowser attempting to force it on Peach, it is larger than Peach herself; but in the following scene, it fits around her waist.

In Super Mario 64, the loading zone at the entrance to the pyramid in Shifting Sand Land does not fully cover the opening, resulting in Mario being able to stand on it if he lands in a corner. This is relatively easy to do by accident simply by making Mario jump when he is going down the short slide. If Mario moves away from the corner, he will touch the loading zone and instantly disappear.

In Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes for GameCube, figurines of Mario and Yoshi can be found in the laboratory room. Shooting Mario with a gun plays the classic 1-Up Mushroom sound from Super Mario Bros., while making a “1UP” indicator appear above Mario.

Top: In the Super Mario World cartoon, Bowser’s castle has a flashing “Koopa” sign on top of it, which is different from the North American version of the game, where is it a flashing “Bowser” sign instead.
Bottom: However, the Japanese version does match the design of the cartoon castle by also having a flashing “Koopa” sign, due to Bowser’s name being “Kuppa” in Japanese, which was started to be officially transliterated as “Koopa” around the time of the game’s release.
Note that this may be a coincidence rather than a deliberate reference: the Super Mario World cartoon is a direct sequel to the Super Mario Bros. Super Show and the Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, where Bowser has always been known as “King Koopa”. The background designers for the cartoon could have gone off the North American version and changed “Bowser” to “Koopa” to keep the continuity; without necessarily referencing his Japanese name. (The English translation “Koopa” predates the usage of that spelling in Japanese media.)
