The music that plays in the warp pipe at the entrance to Super Nintendo World, taken from internal park documentation. This is the only piece of completely original music composed for the park, with all others being merely arrangements of preexisting pieces.

In Paper Mario, if an NPC is close to a wall, it is very easy for Mario to jump between it and the wall and clip through the wall in this manner. As such, the developers placed most NPCs a respectable distance away from walls. However, a glitch exists that allows Mario to very slowly move NPCs.
Top: for this, Mario must spin into the NPC with Speedy Spin and hit it with the Ultra Hammer on a specific frame after Bombette falls after exploding. This will only move the NPCs a nearly impercibly small amount (note the short distance the green Bob-omb has moved after Mario performs this three times; compare the beginning and end of the loop).
Bottom: however, with enough patience, the NPC can be moved any distance along flat ground. Here, Mario has moved the Bob-omb enough so that he can jump between it and the wall and clip through.

Top: one of the concepts for an unused Wonder effect in Super Mario Bros. Wonder was Mario riding on top of a giant Goomba.
Bottom: a similar scenario has appeared in one of the event matches in Super Smash Bros. Melee (though the Goomba there is merely a giant version of a Goomba trophy and as such inanimate). Whether the Wonder effect was created partially in reference to this or whether this is a complete coincidence is unknown.

In Super Mario 64 DS, if Mario is shot from the cannon behind the mountain in Bob-omb Battlefield in a precise direction, he will briefly slam himself into the ground repeatedly before clipping through a fence, as seen in the footage.

Close-up view of a coin from the Yoshi’s Island Zone DLC for Sonic Lost World.
These are a faithful recreation of the highly stylized design of Yoshi coins as seen in the original manual for Yoshi’s Island and in fact the only high-quality 3D version of them that has been faithful so far; in contrast, e.g. the coins from the Yoshi’s Island track in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass simply have a regular on-model Yoshi head on them.
