Left: a panel from a 1999 Mario Party manga, depicting Toad, Mario, Princess Peach and Donkey Kong in a more realistic style; captioned “Mario Party USA”.
Right: Toad’s pose and exclamation “Oh my God!” may be a reference to the 1989-1992 Stardust Crusaders manga in the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure manga series, where Joseph Joestar exclaims “Oh! My! God!” with a similar pose and expression.

In Super Mario Odyssey, Bowser wears a wedding outfit for the vast majority of the game. From the intro until the final boss battle, Bowser is seen five times in separate locations, always dressed in a tuxedo and wearing shoes. The top picture shows the soles of Bowser’s shoes; as you can see, these are shaped like Mario’s shoes.
However, several spots in the game that Mario visits feature Bowser’s footprints that could not have been left by Bowser’s shoes. The bottom picture shows these footprints in the Sand Kingdom, one of the locations where Bowser is seen wearing shoes when Mario arrives. This seems to imply that Bowser has taken his shoes off to walk around the different locations, but then always put them back on before confronting Mario.

The final battle of Luigi’s Mansion takes place on the mansion’s roof. The door through which the roof is normally accessed is locked during the battle. However, approaching the door and pressing A reveals that there is an invisible object in front of the door that Luigi will grab and attempt to shake as though it was furniture. However, nothing happens no matter how long Luigi shakes the object.

In Super Mario World, it is possible to activate a secret exit in a level after dying under certain circumstances. In Forest of Illusion 3, entering the underground room with the key and keyhole and letting time run out while standing above the keyhole with the key in Yoshi’s mouth will cause Mario and Yoshi to die, but still activate the keyhole as they pass it while falling offscreen. The level then counts as being completed successfully, and no death is counted.
