Extremely rare leather-bound notepad with an embossed Mario design given out to senior employees of Nintendo of America in the 2000s for recognition of their service.
The cover is supposed to resemble the eponymous in-universe “The Neverending Story” book from the 1979 fantasy novel The Neverending Story, implying that Mario’s/Nintendo’s story is neverending.

In Version 1.0 of Super Mario Odyssey, a combination of tricks and glitches can be used to skip the first Power Moon and enter the Madame Broode boss fight in the Cascade Kingdom early.
If the battlefield is escaped by clipping out of it and the first Power Moon collected after this, the barrier around the boss arena will unload and Madame Broode will be able to simply walk off the cliff, as shown in the footage.
In addition, while she is able to walk off, her Chain Chomp (named Chain Chompikins) will remain in the arena. Whenever Chain Chompikins attacks, it will pull Madame Broode upwards, causing her to be launched back up.
This can be repeated indefinitely to cause her to fall into the abyss and fly back up arbitrary many times, though no practical purpose for this is currently known.

In the second mission of Noki Bay in Super Mario Sunshine, Mario fights Gooper Blooper on top of a cliff to gain access to the treasure chamber below. Gooper Blooper sits on top of a Brick Block which gets automatically destroyed when he is defeated, allowing Mario to fall down to the chamber.
However, that Brick Block is not actually a special object, but a regular Brick Block seen elsewhere in the game, which means it can be destroyed by jumping into it from below. This is supposed to be impossible for two reasons: Mario cannot jump that high, and he should be incapable of getting beneath the Brick Block before defeating the boss to begin with.
However, via a combination of glitches (clipping into a wall using a trampoline to access the chamber and Rocket Storage to jump high) it is possible to jump into the Brick Block, breaking it. This will actually cause Gooper Blooper to fall into the treasure chamber, where he can be fought normally, a surprisingly realistic outcome compared to what one may expect knowing similar glitches in other games (such as Gooper Blooper floating in mid-air or the game crashing).
