Extremely bizarre officially licensed 2011 K'NEX “Mario vs. Delfino Oak Tree” playset.

Besides the playset featuring the tree as a moving obstacle specifically designed to obstruct the racers even though these trees have never done so and have always just stayed stationary like real-life trees, the name “Delfino Oak Tree” is particularly baffling.

These trees have never appeared on Isle Delfino or any Delfino-related locations (Delfino Square, Delfino Pier etc.) in any game, instead being limited to Mushroom Kingdom locations like Mario Circuit in Mario Kart: Double Dash.

In Donkey Kong Bananza, it is possible to “kill” NPCs, even unique important NPCs such as Grumpy Kong, by continuously attaching chunks of dirt to each other to push the NPC toward a hazard such as lava, poison, or a pit. The NPC will then disintegrate into dust as seen in the footage.

The NPC will respawn whenever the area is reloaded with the terrain cleaned up, either by cleaning it manually, resetting it through the map menu, or saving and reloading the game.

In Super Mario Odyssey, if glitches are used to make Mario clip through the ground in New Donk City, a “ghost building” phenomenon may occur whereby a building will not load, but the graffiti painted on its walls will.

On rare occasions in Mario Kart World, it is possible for a Spiny Shell (known colloquially as a Blue Shell) to seemingly “fake out” the racer in first place by first flying past that racer and then returning.

The underlying mechanism for why this occurs is not yet understood.

In Super Mario Maker 2, whenever a big Goomba, Goombrat, Galoomba or Goombud is stomped, it splits up into two regular-sized ones. Interestingly, these only gain a hitbox when landing on the ground (or touching another object such as wind from a Twister) after splitting up, which is normally nearly instantaneous. However, scenarios can be specifically created in which they can be interacted while falling.

Note how Mario can touch the Goombrat without consequences as long as it’s falling, yet it kills him instantly upon landing.
