The files of Luigi’s Mansion contain an unused image of Daisy cropped from official art for Mario Tennis, which was most likely used as a placeholder for posters at some point in development due to being found alongside the poster graphics. The screenshot shows an in-game poster being modified to use the image.
Whether this means that Daisy herself was ever considered to become part of the game’s plot or the choice of the image was completely arbitrary is unknown.

Due to an oversight in the code of Super Mario Bros. 2, it is possible for the Tryclyde boss to shoot fireballs after it is defeated, during its “falling offscreen” animation.
This can cause an unexpected death that may feel undeserved to the player, as seen in the footage.

A rare glitch may occur in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD whereby a Boo may simply clip through the floor and disappear while bouncing around. While obviously a glitch, it is amusingly something that one could imagine a Boo deliberately doing in-universe.
Note that the camera also becomes glitched and clips out of bounds if this occurs. The Boo will not return until the area is reloaded.

Extremely rare early version of a Donkey Kong Country render of Donkey Kong throwing a barrel, seen only in Nintendo Power inserts for readers whose subscriptions were about to expire in 1994.
Most renders released alongside the finished game change Donkey Kong’s eye shape to be more rounded; these are the most irregularly-shaped eyeballs that have ever been seen on his model.
