In Super Mario Bros., if a Red Koopa Paratroopa is stomped twice in the manner shown in the footage, instead of falling, its shell will be suspended in mid-air. After a few seconds, it will emerge from its shell and start walking on air.

It has been brought to my attention that this sprite, as well as other Super Mario Bros. concept sprites, have been previously recreated (with minor differences) by Twitter user @NikoAnesti. I was not aware of this; I apologize for insufficient research. twitter.com/NikoAnesti/sta…

In the Forest Secret Area in Super Mario World, jumping on a flying platform causes the background to scroll. However, jumping back onto the starting area does not stop the scrolling. This results in a visual effect where the entire landmass appears to accelerate through space.

The long Fire Bars in Super Mario Bros. have a blind spot directly to their sides where they will not hurt Mario. Almost all of them are placed so that Mario can not stand in that spot, except for this Fire Bar at the end of Level 8-4 in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.

In Ludwig's Castle in Super Mario World, a room contains a descending spiked ceiling. Once the ceiling hits the ground, the sound effect for Mario's spin jump will be replaced with the sound effect for heavy objects hitting the ground until the room is exited.

As discovered by Twitter user @kikaim, a Chain Chomp on the cover of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions only has teeth on one side of its mouth. I have created a mock-up of what this Chain Chomp would look like in 3D.

In the files of Hotel Mario, audio for a tutorial narrated by Mario can be found. However, Mario is not voiced by his voice actor from the final version of the game, but by a monotone voice likely belonging to one of the developers and intended as a placeholder.

In Super Mario Galaxy, Ice Mario/Luigi can normally only create ice platforms on water, but there is one spot where they can also do it on lava. Instead of adding extra code to this lava, the developers used a simple trick where it is encased in invisible boxes of water instead.
