In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Yoshi's tongue can become astronomical in length, dwarfing Starship Mario in magnitude, as a result of a glitch. Details in image.
927
In Paper Mario, if glitches are used to bring Bow, Watt, Sushie or Lakilester to meet Luigi in the first chapters of the game, then upon meeting Luigi, they will repeat his line "I wonder what my brother Mario is doing right now..." back to him, appearing to mock him.
928
In Paper Mario, with frame-perfect movement, it is possible for Mario to activate a cutscene with Tubba Blubba slightly before he is supposed to, causing Tubba Blubba to appear to produce a snot bubble from the bottom part of his body. Details in image.
929
A recurring theme in Super Princess Peach is a disregard for Luigi. Peach tosses him away after rescuing him and pushes him aside after rescuing Mario. Hitting Mario in the Toad Shot game gives a 10 point penalty while Luigi is 3 points. Luigi is also never called by his name.
930
Nabbit's model without his handkerchief.
931
In Super Mario 64, the eel is never seen leaving the sunken ship in Jolly Roger Bay: it is either inside it or swimming around. By holding C-Up to force the camera to look down while swimming away, we can see the eel simply teleports out of the ship once Mario is far enough away.
932
In Super Mario 64, if Mario throws a Chuckya off a ledge and then jumps after it, and if the Chuckya happens to grab him on the frame it explodes, Mario will be stuck in mid-air. The "exit course" option will not appear in the pause menu, forcing the game to be reset to continue.
933
Today, Super Mario Maker 2 was updated to v1.1.0, adding online friend play. Not detailed in the patch notes (only called "other issues fixed") is the removal of the Luigi prompt after dying twice in Story Mode. This was now replaced with a small Luigi icon in the bottom left.
934
Sprite of Yoshi feeding his cat, extracted from the Sentence World word suggestion images in the educational SNES game Mario's Early Years: Fun with Letters.
935
Due to sprites in character models in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door being layered with small amounts of empty space between them, with precise positioning Mario can hit NPCs and party members with his hammer in such a way that it passes between their individual layers.
936
A 1994 Nintendo "Play it Loud" commercial featured a graffiti wall of Nintendo characters. While the wall is never seen in full, the parts that appear show that it contained Yoshi and Mario with sunglasses, as well as Kirby with a gold chain.
937
In Paper Mario: The Origami King, the Vellumentals are deities that have been folded into origami (left). While their unfolded forms are not shown in gameplay, the Water Vellumental's original form can be seen in the concept art gallery (right, extracted from the game's files).
938
The Art of Super Mario Odyssey book shows that a completely Piranha Plant-based concept was considered for the Wooded Kingdom, including glowing Piranha Plant trees (left) and Piranha Plant versions of the Uproot enemy (top right) and Torkdrift boss (bottom right).
939
A batch of officially licensed 1997 Donkey Kong plushes was manufactured that erroneously labeled Donkey Kong as "Yoshi".
940
Neither Super Mario Odyssey nor any of the available guides for it contain a map of the Deep Woods area in the Wooded Kingdom. I have created the world's first comprehensive map of the Deep Woods. More on the process at the Supper Mario Broth Patreon: patreon.com/posts/41149874

Whenever a character levels up in Super Mario RPG, a bonus can be chosen to be applied to one stat. Unlike the later Mario & Luigi games, the bonus is not randomized and there is a pattern that, when followed, allows the player to maximize the character's stats. Details below.
942
Mario Party 8 contains an unused model of the Fun Bazaar minigame wagon with a picture of humans on the TV (left). This is actually a photo of a 2005 cosplay event in Japan (right), which was likely taken from a private blog and not intended to be used in the finished game.
943
I apologize for an error in the previous Tweet. I have been informed that the object Wario turns into is not a copy of the Final Destination sun, but an original sun-like object made up of Wario-Man particle effects. The original Tweet was deleted; a corrected version is below.
944
One official Mario Kart DS render features characters driving around a globe. For an unknown reason, Yoshi's model in this render has a much smaller nose than in other artwork for the game.
945
In Super Mario Bros., if Left and Right are pressed simultaneously in underwater levels (possible with third-party controllers), the bottom left part of Mario's body will become glitched. If Mario is powered up, he will appear to have three legs.
946
Normally, whenever Mario dies in Super Mario Bros. 3, all moving objects freeze in place. However, Fire Piranha Plants are unique in that they are still partially active during this, continuing to turn their heads to look at Mario even during his death animation.
947
Mario Party 2 contains a debug animation test for player models, including various costumes. All of them mostly work correctly, except for Cowboy Luigi, who seems corrupted. Every time Cowboy Luigi is loaded, there is a chance that his model will be completely scrambled.
948
In the data of Yoshi's Island, there are two alternate unused versions of Yoshi with a full mouth (left: used in game, middle and right: unused). It is unknown if these were simply early graphics or remnants of a mechanic where Yoshi could eat much larger objects than usual.
949
In Super Mario Odyssey, whenever Mario stands behind ice, his image is distorted to simulate light refraction. However, in specific spots, the distortion effect is mistakenly applied when Mario is next to the ice rather than behind it (note the asymmetrical legs).
950
In Super Mario Galaxy, the Rocky Wrench-like Monty enemies emerge from manholes to attack Mario. When they are hiding underground out of view, their models are distorted, with their eyes floating next to their heads.
