In Super Mario Sunshine, whenever Mario lands on sand after falling from a great height, he will become stuck in it (a detail first implemented in Super Mario 64).
However, there is an oversight with the implementation of getting stuck in this manner. If Mario becomes freed from the sand by being attacked by an enemy, the “having just fallen from a great height” flag will not actually clear. As such, Mario’s next jump will cause him to get stuck in the sand even if it is a normal jump with an average height.
Note how in the footage, Mario proceeds to continuously get stuck in the sand due to being dislodged from it by Swipin’ Stu attacks instead of through his own efforts. Only by getting out of the sand on his own can Mario escape this state.

All scrapbook photos from the Nintendo Switch version of Super Mario RPG, extracted from the game’s files (please zoom in to view).
Curiously, although nearly all of them are internally numbered in the same order they appear in-game, the last one with Mario participating in the wedding photo is at the end of the list internally despite being positioned after the Marrymore section in-game. It also happens to be the only photo in the scrapbook that is also a photo in-universe, actually being taken with a camera in the scene.

In Mario Kart World, trains running on time is the highest priority, so that a train cannot actually be delayed or derailed in any way.
If a train collides with another large object like a player-controlled cargo truck, the train will jump and drive over the obstacle without slowing down to maintain its schedule, as seen in the footage.
