Top: Paper Mario: The Origami King contains an unused setting for text to be displayed at a 90° angle, demonstrated here in-engine.

Bottom: the game often uses text gimmicks for characters who are in nonstandard states. As such, it is possible that this was intended to be a text gimmick for characters who for some reason or another, are arranged perpendicularly to Mario while speaking. This is a mock-up of what such a usage of this text effect could have looked like.

Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 contain a glitch known as "Launch Star Displacement" whereby entering a Launch Star while Mario is slipping will cause his launch trajectory to change.

As most targets for launches are small planetoids relatively far away, and most locations in the game are surrounded by empty space, even a small trajectory deviation statistically often results in Mario missing his target and flying into the void.

The footage shows this happening in Boo Moon Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Mario very briefly slips on the edge of the purple Snake Block while entering the Launch Star. While he is supposed to land on the crescent moon planetoid, he ends up missing it entirely and dying.

In Mario Kart 8/Deluxe, the anti-gravity section on the GBA Mario Circuit track is held up by giant blue car jacks that have extremely faint writing on them. Enhancing the contrast shows it reads "Ultra Arm".

The name and design of the jacks is a reference to Ultra Hand, a toy produced by Nintendo in 1966 (designed by Gunpei Yokoi, later inventor of the Game & Watch and Game Boy among other achievements). The Ultra Hand has been referenced many times all across Nintendo media, recently famously through the "Ultrahand" ability in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

In addition to featuring the Ultra Hand in many WarioWare microgames, the man getting his wallet stolen on the packaging is also featured in the "Clawing for More" boss microgame in WarioWare Gold.
