On Wii Rainbow Road in the last wave of the Booster Course Pass in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, there are areas extremely close to the boundary of the track that are designated as Lakitu rescue zones despite being so close to the track that a racer could easily pass through them and land back on the track if the zone was not there.
Note how in the footage, the Inkling tries to take a shortcut by jumping over the right side of the track, and would have ordinarily succeeded, but the Lakitu rescue zone activated and made it appear as though the Inkling phased through the track instead.

In Super Mario Bros. 3, if Mario stands on a Rocky Wrench’s manhole cover as it scrolls offscreen, he will be able to walk on air for a limited time, as shown in the footage. As Rocky Wrenches appear mainly in autoscrolling levels, this can be performed in many different locations.

In Super Mario World, shell-less Koopa Troopas ignore the effects of gravity or environmental changes during the brief moment while they are kicking a shell.
If a shell-less Koopa’s stolen shell is flipped upside-down by Cape Mario, it will kick it to turn it around, in order to try to enter it. However, if that happens on rising ground, then the ground will keep rising during the kicking animation while the Koopa itself will not.
This results in the Koopa falling through the ground and dying simply as a result of wanting to regain its stolen shell.
