BS Super Mario USA was an enhanced release of the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 2 (known as Super Mario USA in Japan) for the Satellaview. Gameplay would be accompanied by a recording of voice actors for the game's cast providing a dramatic reenactment of the game's events.

At specific set points during the reenactment, special events occur. Shown in the footage is the "giant vegetable rain" event, whereby one of the voice actors becomes angry and shouts about throwing vegetables around; this is then timed to the falling vegetables in-game.

In Super Mario 64 DS, the different animations and camera movements that occur after a Power Star is collected are determined by a value attached to the individual star. One normally unused value produces a result that is valid (as in, does not crash the game), but looks exceedingly bizarre, as seen in the footage. The camera moves erratically while the character rotates in place to always face the camera.

Whether this is merely an unintended value that by chance happens to produce a result that the game is able to display, or whether this is the corrupted or unfinished remnant of a real animation that was scrapped at some point in development, is unknown.
