NES Remix contains a graphic that seems to be an "anti-brother romance failsafe" for Mario and Luigi. Despite that scenario being normally impossible to reach in-game, this graphic makes sure a heart cannot be displayed between Mario and Luigi.

In the Remix 14 and 17 stages in NES Remix, Donkey Kong is played mirrored, with Mario being replaced by Luigi and Pauline being replaced by Mario.
The only stages visited are 25m and 75m. Since Pauline would be saved at 100m, Mario never actually gets saved.
Regardless, the developers changed Pauline's heart icon, used when she is saved, for an original "GOOD JOB!" graphic despite there being no way to actually display it.
How the scene appears in the regular game: Pauline and Mario with a heart
How the scene would appear in NES Remix if it was reachable (without the mirror effect applied): Mario and Luigi with GOOD JOB!
It is unknown why the graphic was added. The developers could have planned to have the full game playable in that mode, or they could have changed the graphic purely as a precaution in case someone managed to get to 100m (e.g. via a glitch) to prevent implications of romantic love between Mario and Luigi.
