Top: how the explosions look when Bowser is thrown into a bomb during one of his battles in Super Mario 64 in the finished game.

Bottom: the game actually contains unused animation frames for the smoke that are not displayed due to the transparency effect that is applied to the smoke in the finished version only resulting in one frame being shown. By disabling the transparency, the other frames are displayed, resulting in a much more violent-seeming explosion due to the extreme amount of smoke.

It stands to reason that the bottom version is how the explosion was originally intended to look, as using the transparency effect makes the smoke animation redundant. Then, the transparency was presumably added sometime during development, possibly due to the designers believing the original explosion was too intense.

In Paper Mario: The Origami King, a hallway in Bowser's Castle contains several atmospheric paintings of Bowser, as well as one of King Olly. Here are the textures for the paintings, extracted from the game's files.

In Super Mario World, Mario's punching animation when he is climbing on the backside of a fence suffers from a discoloration in his arm, whereby part of it is pink.

Top: this can be seen most easily as Fire Mario, since the pinkness of the arm does not change even when Mario's shirt changes colors to white. The footage uses a glitch whereby a well-timed jump off a rotating panel can cause Mario to climb while mostly unobscured, showing the pink arm more clearly.

Bottom: this is an oversight resulting from how the game stores sprites. Each sprite is made out of 8x8 pixel squares (which are called "sprites" on the hardware level, not to be confused with the colloquial term "sprite" meaning the full image of a character) whereby each is assigned a palette. The two squares on the right, containing Mario's arm, are accidentally assigned a different palette (also visible by the outlines becoming black instead of remaining brown).

A panel from a 2017 issue of the official Futurama comic series (Issue 83, "Bendocchio!") features a reference to the Mario series by including a couple consisting of a character who is almost identical to Mario except for a lack of an M emblem and an additional set of overall buttons, and a princess character who is very similar to Rosalina except recolored to Peach's color scheme.

In Super Mario World, the Vanilla Dome 4 level contains many tall white plant-like platforms (identified in Japanese official material as daikon, a type of large white radish common in Japan) that sometimes have green bouncy platforms attached to their sides.

These bouncy platforms are slightly glitched in that if the camera is moved with L or R so that they are at the edge of the screen, the opposite edge will act like an invisible extension of the platform (or in other words, the platform's collision wraps around the screen).

The footage shows Mario bouncing around on the invisible platform before doing a large jump. Note the visible platform on the left side reacting to his bounces. This is easy to do during regular gameplay and merely requires careful camera positioning.
