In Super Mario Sunshine, hovering into this Red Electrokoopa in Pinna Park can result in Mario being instantly transported extremely high into the sky, hanging onto an invisible ceiling. This location is so high above Isle Delfino that falling back down takes over an hour.
1302
In Super Mario Advance 4, running out of invincibility causes Mario's sprite to lose some of its saturation, appearing "washed-out". Below is Mario's sprite before, during, and after collecting a Super Star item. The effect lasts indefinitely until Mario changes rooms or forms.
1303
In Paper Mario, Albino Dinos are NPCs that are encountered only in one room in the Crystal Palace as part of a puzzle (top left). However, the game's data contains a fully functional unused enemy encounter with them. The Tattle and attack animation are provided below.
1304
In a 2009 interview with Henk Rogers, founder of the Tetris Company, and Alexey Pajitnov, creator of Tetris, Rogers expresses regret over ever giving Nintendo permission to release Tetris Attack under that name; however, both of them agree it was a good game.
1305
Concept art for the Skeleton Suit from the Art of Super Mario Odyssey book, detailing Mario's individual bones and offering various options for the appearance of his eyes. In the finished game, Mario has no eyes and his nose and mustache were added to the design (right).
1306
The Stache stat in the Mario & Luigi series represents the impressiveness of Mario and Luigi's mustaches, though the games' graphics do not reflect any change in their appearance as it increases. A Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga manga shows Mario's mustache at different stats.
1307
In Super Mario Maker 2, Spikes do not throw Spike Balls if the enemy part limit is reached. P-Switches are part of that limit; thus, by maxing out the limit, it is possible to have a Spike not attack until a P-Switch is pressed, giving the impression of it "guarding" the switch.
1308
The RC car operator is the only human Mario can capture in Super Mario Odyssey. Normally, he is only seen from behind during this. However, by precisely positioning Mario beforehand, there are a few frames where is possible to get a closer look at the man's face while captured.
1309
The flight action game Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy+ for the New Nintendo 3DS contains unlockable aircraft based on Mario, Luigi, Peach and Bowser, as well as additional designs for them only unlockable with their respective amiibo (marked with "amiibo" in the image).
1310
In Super Mario Galaxy 2, when Mario talks to NPCs while riding Yoshi, Yoshi will look at the NPC (left). However, if B is pressed at any point during this, Yoshi will open his mouth and continue looking at the NPC with his mouth open until the conversation ends (right).
1311
In a 10-Man Smash as Yoshi in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, a Giant Yoshi is fought. If the Egg Lay move is used on him, he will emerge from the egg slightly larger. This can be repeated until he is so large he touches the upper KO boundary, self-destructing immediately.
1312
In the first turn of the opening Bowser battle in Super Mario RPG, Peach is actually present as an enemy with a Speed stat of 255. If Mario is hacked to have matching speed, he can target (left) and attack her (middle). Peach has 10 HP and awards a coin upon defeat (right).
1313
In a 2012 interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, he suggested that Dr. Mario may "not necessarily" be a legitimate doctor. While no official statement has been given, this raises the possibility that some or all of the many doctors featured in Dr. Mario World are illegitimate as well.
1314
In Super Mario Odyssey, the Crazy Cap guide brochures for most kingdoms include those locations' average temperatures. Here are all the temperatures laid out in a chart.
1315
Paper Mario contains mipmaps of some textures, or low-resolution versions meant to speed up rendering of faraway objects. However, these are never used; the high-resolution versions are displayed at all times, likely due to the simplistic graphics making optimization unnecessary.
1316
As part of a promotional event for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Nintendo of America's official Twitter account was temporarily taken over by Cranky Kong. During this, Cranky Kong posted four image macros attempting to make jokes relating to Internet culture.
1317
Stage Debut was a GameCube game shown at E3 2003 and then cancelled. It revolved around creating a virtual version of the player with a camera peripheral, which could then interact with Nintendo characters. The game was planned to include Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser and Wario.
1318
In Super Mario Maker 2, if a Giant Mechakoopa is placed into a pipe, it will assume a unique front-facing sprite for a few frames while emerging from the pipe. Here are the front-facing Mechakoopas in all four game styles where they are available.
1319
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, if Ms. Mowz joins the party early through exploits, the game is playable normally. However, if Ms. Mowz eats the poisoned cake in Chapter 3, instead of playing a cutscene of getting poisoned, she will simply disappear completely (right).
1320
The Chinese beverage company Wahaha Group uses an unlicensed edited version of Super Mario World artwork for their "Wahaha Vitamin A&D and Calcium Soft Drink" featuring their mascot. The mascot and original Super Mario World artwork are on the right for comparison.
1321
In Mario Kart 8/Deluxe, the Water Park track contains Wario and Waluigi branding, meaning the park is likely owned by them. This suggests that the name could be a subtle pun; "Water Park" starts with "Wa", a syllable often used to refer to Wario and Waluigi.
1322
In Super Mario World, standing less than 20 pixels away from Ludwig makes Mario immune to his fireball attack.
1323
In the original and Super Mario All-Stars versions of Super Mario Bros. 2, if the player character attempts to pick up a dead enemy in the middle of its death animation (left), the character's arms will be stuck in a raised pose as though holding an item, while holding nothing.
1324
Scene featuring Yoshi's mother from the official Japanese guide for the puzzle game "Yoshi" for the Famicom. Out of all interpretations of Yoshi's mother seen in various media, this one may be the most legitimate due to Shigeru Miyamoto being involved in the creation of the book.
1325
In the files of Nintendo of America's official Mario website, the image depicting a Rocky Wrench calls it "Morty Wrench" instead. This may be a simple error; however, it could be an official name for Giant Rocky Wrenches that has simply not been used in a game before (see text).
