When the Virtual Boy came out, two programmers at Rare were tasked with creating a port of DKC2 essentially as a tech demo just to see what could be done on the VB. Not much was made and the "port" was scrapped after a few weeks.
In his notes for the Orb of Destruction, Olimar says that he stayed up all night counting the stitches to confirm that there were exactly 108. No one asked him to do that.
In Super Mario Maker 2, failing the matching game in the World Maker will cause Mario's mismatched creation to emerge from the door, making him slowly back away in fear or disgust. Below are all the possible abominations Mario can create.
![In the World Maker mode of Super Mario Maker 2, the Match & Win! minigame is directly based on the Spade Panel game from Super Mario Bros. 3.
If Mario fails to match all three reels to create a picture of a single power-up, he will wait in front of the house...
...whereupon the mismatched object he created will emerge from the door. Mario will back off, seemingly in fear or disgust.
Here are all the possible abominations Mario can create, extracted from the game's files: [collection of 24 mismatched objects]

In Slipsand Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2, there is an unexplained and out-of-place yellow flash during a Launch Star flight. This is because Mario actually flies through a fog area belonging to a planetoid from a different mission, and the very brief fog looks like a flash.

In the files of Pikmin 3 Deluxe is an unused version of the Hermit Crawmad. This one is based on its original appearance, before it got its redesign later on in development.
We already had the modern sleek Mario Kart logo by the time of Mario Kart Wii, yet a ton of tracks in that game still use the old one.
'Kirby Mass Attack!' was released on the Nintendo DS 15 years ago today in Japan.

I feel like you can even see remnants of Dragon Hopper in the early UI for Paper Mario 64 (back when it was called Super Mario RPG 2) with the hearts and FP being displayed individually (rather than as a numerical value) as well as a square slot that displays your attack/ability.
Reecee@reecee.bsky.social · 2d agoSo it turns out that Ryota Kawade, director of the first three Paper Mario games, directed Dragon Hopper. Not only was this the first game that he directed but also the ONLY game he directed outside of the Paper Mario series.
Fuck i gotta talk a little about fire emblem with the direct today uhhh this guy's gonna be there probably, you like him right?

In the Donkey Kong Country tv show, Baby Kong appears as a baby version of DK after he accidentaly drinks one of Cranky's potions. In a later episode he's a completely separate entity coexisting with Donkey Kong, while still being the same character somehow
The Crusted Rumpup’s face resembles a croc.
In World 8-7 of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, releasing a mushroom on the third Spine Coaster but not collecting it results in an entertaining interaction whereby the Spine Coaster will balance the mushroom on its nose, like a seal trained to balance a ball.
Ready For Adventure 'Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker' Wii U
The only three mushroom treasures in the series are the Toxic Toadstool, Growshroom, and the Anti-hiccup Fungus, all of which being from Pikmin 2. Despite all the fruits and vegetables, and even other food items, no game past 2 has any mushroom treasures. I just think that’s odd
Unpopular opinion, I freakin loved the Wii U. My mom told me I couldn't have both a portable and a home console, so I MADE my Wii U my portable console. Carried that thing around in a tote bag wherever I went. Sat in the empty gym after school and played Sonic racing on the gamepad. It was awesome.
In the second week of August, FuRyu will be releasing new Kirby arcade prizes in Japan! 🦋 Kirby Heartwarming BIG Plush 🧡 Waddle Dee Town Mascots
In Mario Kart: Double Dash, shadows in the environment do not follow any kind of lighting logic and appear to have been placed solely based on "vibe". This results in shadows being cast in nearly every possible direction at the same time.
