The Lakitu Launch minigame in Super Mario 64 DS/New Super Mario Bros. plays an animation of rounding up the caught Spinies after the game. The animation is so slow that if the game is played perfectly, it takes more than twice as long to round up the score as to actually play it.

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".

“I just received an e-mail from that same guy. It says: ‘me know where u live ur ded im get u soon u wnt hide 4evur i culd bee behind u now watc ur step’ I have to be extremely careful now”

In Super Mario Odyssey, many Goombas can be stacked. The limit for a legitimate Goomba stack is 30, as they will stop spawning afterwards. Manually spawning more Goombas reveals that the limit for an illegitimate Goomba stack is 200. At 201 Goombas, the game crashes.

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.

"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.

A listing on Amazon has revealed the cover and title of the first full-length novel in the #Sonic series. The novel, titled "Sonic the Hedgehog: Allies in Action", will be released in late July 2027. The cover features artwork by @yardleyart.bsky.social. #SonicNews

"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.

Do You Wanna Fucking Explain What This Is and Why I Found It With the Stars?

In Super Mario 64, if a shell-less Koopa bumps into Mario while he is asleep, he will enter a "sleepwalking" state, where all of his voice sounds are replaced by snoring. He will continue snoring even when being shot out of a cannon; the only way to wake him up is to harm him.

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.

There's like secret codes and possibly a hidden alphabet

The 1998 official site for Nintendo Australia had a deliberately silly aesthetic with small animations and edits to official renders. For the "HELP" button, Yoshi's pupils were made smaller than usual to give him a "concerned" expression, as though in need of help.

Nomura no Famicom Trade was a stock trading application for the Japan-only dial-up modem add-on for the Famicom. Through a Nintendo collaboration, the game featured Mario on the information screen, doing a unique little dance.

How come no one's mentioned that today's the grand opening ceremony for the Krusty Krab 2, where Mr. Krabs will announce the new manager.

“’Happy Birthday‘ everyone in the room says. Oh god, you think to yourself. You hate birthday parties, even your own.“

totally irrelevant trinkets that aren't important whatsoever

Certain models of the 2003 Motorola MPx200 clamshell phone contained a ringtone that was blatantly just the "Fever" theme from Dr. Mario with different notes.

Sorry, You Wouldn't Want This Star it's Stupid I Shouldn't Have Even Brought it Up I'm Sorry

In WarioWare: Twisted, Jimmy's boss microgame can be won instantly if the console is tilted 720° in less than half a second. In practice, this is achieved by literally physically throwing the console.

Adjust the DS Clock Until Bowser Dies of Old Age

In Mario Kart Wii, the statues on Daisy Circuit are simple, but achieve detail through textures. A stylistic change in Mario Kart Tour/8 Deluxe eschews the textures and attempts to model the details instead, resulting in a much rougher look despite having more polygons.

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team contains various unused test rooms in its files. One of these is the "two dead Luigis" test room, which is identical to the Mushrise Park entrance from the finished game, except there are two Luigis lying on the ground. The Luigis are unresponsive.

“I saw the source of the screams. It was terrifying, horrible, inhuman. It was Patrick hammered into a stake almost like the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.”

Most of the footage of the famous 2000 "Super Mario 128" tech demo was recorded with handheld cameras by the audience, with the presenter drowning out the game sound. Only 10 seconds of direct feed footage exist, which reveal that the sound was a cacophony of Marios screaming.
