In Super Mario Galaxy, whenever you go into first-person view, Mario’s model undergoes a change for the few frames it takes for the camera to zoom in: he loses his shading and his eyes become blank. Normally this happens in a fraction of a second; here it is slowed down.
At the beginning of Good Egg Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy, Mario can approach a house, where standing in front of the door makes a “Read” icon appear. Pressing A, Mario will then read a message the owner left on the door. However, what is really happening is that the developers took a shortcut: instead of programming a readable door object, they hid a signpost, the default readable object, inside the house. Mario is interacting with the signpost through the door, making it appear as though he was reading the door.
How to see the hidden toy train in Super Mario Galaxy: in the first mission of Toy Time Galaxy, proceed until the first Spring Mushroom, but don’t get it. Scale the next ledge using wall jumps, then at the second Spring Mushroom, take the conveyor belt to the right and jump onto the orange block. The train is under the ramp, use first-person view to see it.
