An obscure functionality of Donkey Kong Country Returns is that if Donkey Kong spends 3 full attack cycles of a boss not damaging it, Professor Chops will pop up telling him what to do, e.g. "BOP NOW!" In the Mole Miner Max battle, the tip is particularly condescending, being simply "TRY HARDER".

Extremely rare officially licensed 1992 "Mariovania" mug. While appearing to be a regular Super Mario Bros. mug, the background is actually the starting area of Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. What Mario is doing in this location is not explained.

In Mario Kart Wii, crashing the game and activating the crash handler will eventually start playing back the contents of the Wii's RAM as sound. Since the data was never intended to be interpreted like this, it ends up sounding like experimental harsh noise music.

I was able to play this game years ago. I really liked it. I highly recommend it.

A boat in New Super Mario Bros. Wii is called "NICE_BOAT" internally. While the developers may have simply believed it to be a particularly nice boat, there is reason to assume this is a reference to the "Nice Boat" broadcast incident where an anime episode was cancelled due to a murder.

[Splatoon 3] Here are the changes to matchmaking in X Battle in version 11.1.0, along with Nintendo's explanation. Nintendo aims to have fewer games where there is a large disparity in skill between teams, and to allow battles with "more different weapons than before".

[Splatoon 3] Here are the changes to main weapons and special weapons in version 11.1.0. I've included Nintendo's justification for these changes in the third image.

"Classic NES Series Trivia" was a Flash game available on Nintendo's site in 2004. The questions were loaded remotely, and could not be archived. Playing the game now results in no questions loading and a purgatory-like experience with blank choices, all of which are declared wrong.

In the selection screen of Super Smash Bros. Melee, characters are represented by artwork instead of 3D models. However, unused "selected" animations for the fighters' models exist in the files for a scrapped 3D selection screen. Some of these are broken due to being unfinished.

"60 Second Challenge! Save Luigi!" was an interactive train quiz held on some Japan Railways trains from 2020-2022. The player had 2 chances to select 1 correct answer out of 3 to save Luigi being dropped in lava. Getting both guesses wrong would result in Luigi almost dying.

Growing up feels less scary thanks to these two. Also Smash Ultimate infested my brain ^^;

Warning: profanity A photo in the booklet for the official 1993 Super Mario Compact Disco album contains a profane shirt in a photo that likely slipped through due to be being printed so small that it requires extreme zooming in to view the swear.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey contains an unused "Toads ramming each other rapidly" test room, containing Peach and three pairs of Toads. Talking to Peach causes the Toads to ram each other rapidly.

Our lead illustration researcher is working overtime! In some places it's customary to give a gift back to your Valentine, though nonchalantly flinging white chocolate at them like Pearl and Marie are doing here seems less customary.

In the original GameCube version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the Glitz Pit greeter Toad always bites his tongue after Chapter 3 is over. In the Switch version, this was made into an Easter egg, whereby he always has a small chance of biting his tongue instead.
