In Super Mario Odyssey, warping to the Ocean Trench East checkpoint in the Seaside Kingdom will result in Mario not losing any air as long as the player makes no input. Mario can stay underwater indefinitely without drowning in this manner. However, if any input is made, even only moving the camera, Mario will start losing air as normal.

In Super Mario 64, it is possible to make Mario go through a door while dead. If Mario receives lethal damage at the same time as he approaches a door, he will first go through the door despite having 0 health remaining, and then die.

Top: the first shot of the intro scene for Episode 8 of Ricco Harbor in Super Mario Sunshine, as seen during normal gameplay. Note the column to the right of the fruit container, near the right edge of the screen.
Middle: Using codes to zoom out the camera lets us see what would normally be covered up by the column. We can see that something falls down during the cutscene; it is positioned in such a way that the column obscures it from the normal camera position.
Bottom: Zooming in the camera onto the falling object reveals that it is a Pianta sailor who, for an unknown reason, spawns high above the fish market and then falls into his intended position during the cutscene.
