Unique render of the Wario World hub area, from the official 2003 Nintendo Power guide for the game. Note how unlike in the game itself, the buildings are not rotated towards the middle courtyard, but rather towards the viewer to make their features better visible.

Animation playing during the game transfer process on a Famicom Disk Writer kiosk, a service offered by Nintendo in Japan allowing players to copy exclusive versions of Famicom games to rewritable disks.

The animation features Luigi showing what not to do with the disks, which is to not keep them near magnets or touch the exposed part of the disk.

Bizarre collectible Dr. Mario card from a series of 1993 cards as part of a British Nintendo/Kellogg's Frosties promotion, which makes both the Viruses and Dr. Mario's capsule so oversized that only two Viruses fit inside the bottle while the capsule barely fits at all. For reference, the actual bottle from the Dr. Mario game can fit 128 Viruses, or 64 capsules.

Design from an officially licensed 2007 T-shirt. While the presentation is clearly intended to evoke an "evolution" theme, suggesting that each successive Mario is from a more advanced game, the last two Marios are actually both from Super Mario 64, being the in-game model in the second to last place and the promotional render in the last place. This suggests that Promotional Art Mario is somehow "fitter" than his in-game self.

In addition, the Super Mario Bros. sprite in the second place is using an incorrect palette (being the palette from Donkey Kong; though interestingly, concept art for Super Mario Bros. reveals this was initially Mario's palette in that game before it was changed), and the Super Mario World sprite in the third place is larger than the Super Mario Bros. sprite on the design despite being smaller in reality (Super Mario Bros. is 32 pixels tall while Super Mario World is 28 pixels tall).

Officially licensed 1990 Super Mario Bros. 3 children's pants, featuring a rare artwork of a Hot Foot enemy from that game.

Officially licensed 2026 Mario Kart World Dash Food plush keychain from Japan, depicting a Cheep Cheep taiyaki (a type of fish-shaped cake, usually filled with red bean paste) that can be found in-game in the market at Cheep Cheep Falls.

Of note is the fact that for maximum realism, the plush does not depict a perfectly shaped taiyaki. Instead, it includes bits of extraneous crust around the perimeter of the cake that is a byproduct of the baking process, whereby batter is being poured into a mold (similar to a waffle iron), and some batter may be poured over or ooze out the sides, solidifying into a thin crust.
