Super Mario 64 DS contains a debug map select screen that can be used to access any area in the game, including two test maps. Loading up the first test map reveals that its name is "Course 0: le searching for Power".

The Russian version of Super Mario Maker 2 may be hinting at additional rideable characters other than Yoshi to be included in the game in the future due to template-like wording of the Yoshi Clear Condition. Details can be found in the provided image.

One of the first concept sketches of Donkey Kong for the Donkey Kong arcade, drawn by Shigeru Miyamoto.
