Officially licensed 1989 Super Mario Bros. 2 greeting cards that depict Wart as (at least partially) friendly, directly at odds with his characterization in the game, where he is depicted as a purely malevolent entity.

Interestingly, in 1993, Wart would return in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (under his original Japanese name, Mamu, but officially recognized as the same character) and actually be friendly there, making these cards inadvertently appear prescient of the future of the character.

In 2020, internal Nintendo files have surfaced that included a model of Yoshi to be used with the Super Nintendo's Super FX chip, known for its usage to create 3D graphics in Star Fox.

Above is the Yoshi model inserted into Star Fox to demonstrate how it would have appeared on original hardware.

Donkey Kong 64 has a very large amount of collectibles. One particular collectible remained hidden for 18 years after the game's release, only being discovered in 2017, despite being able to be collected completely legitimately without the use of tricks or glitches.

The game contains dirt mounds that can be destroyed with a Crystal Coconut charge attack (Super Slam), each releasing a single rainbow coin (worth 25 Banana Coins, 5 for each Kong). One such dirt mound is hidden in the tall grass in an area of Fungi Forest, being almost completely undetectable as using first-person view does not let the Kongs see underneath the grass.

The only way the mound can be pinpointed is by very carefully watching the Kong and noticing that the elevation where the Kong is standing in the grass is slightly higher in one spot. As this is very difficult to notice even when specifically looking for it, it is nearly impossible to notice when unaware of any secrets, leading to this item remaining hidden for this long.

In Mario Party 3, a parachuting Goomba hosts both the duel and battle minigames. This can cause an unintentionally humorous scenario in extremely rare cases where both of the Goomba's functions need to occur in a row, where the Goomba will seem to leave but then "change his mind" and come back, as seen in the footage.

For this, the following has to occur: -it has to be the final five turns, which causes all players who land on the same space as another player to have a duel, -the active player must land on a Battle Space, where another player is already standing, -and one of the two involved players must have no coins.

This will result in the Goomba coming down to initiate a duel, but then realize that one of the players has no coins, making him angry and causing him to leave. However, he then immediately comes down again, seemingly with a changed attitude, to initiate a battle due to the player having landed on a Battle Space.
