While it may appear like the backgrounds in Super Mario Bros. are made out of individually placed elements, there are in fact only 3 different pre-made backgrounds, seen in levels 1-1, 1-3 and 2-1. By changing a single byte in the game's code, any level can assume any background.pic.twitter.com/hPVTkIaeGL

The Mario Characters Nintendo 3DS theme (top) is a remake of the earlier Mario Character Size Chart (bottom). Every character is either in a different pose or has updated shading, except for Birdo and Goomba, who were evidently not considered important enough to warrant this.pic.twitter.com/yzovTJLTtQ

On the character selection screen of Mario Kart Wii, looking closely at Donkey Kong's innermost toes shows a red texture resembling painted nails (left: normal view, middle: zoomed in). This is actually a mapping error that applies Donkey Kong's mouth texture to his feet (right).pic.twitter.com/3aq3jVUyP3

The reason Yoshi's Island is called Yo'ster Isle in Super Mario RPG is because the translator chose to use the original Japanese name for it from Super Mario World, ヨースター島, or Yoster Island. This is in turn a reference to イースター島, the Japanese name for Easter Island.pic.twitter.com/W3YNyMkoYB

The oldest existing Princess Peach figurine, released in Japan in 1985. It was commissioned using only the original box art for Super Mario Bros. as a reference.pic.twitter.com/YPcJA7PMdl

In Luigi's Mansion 3, when Luigi uses the Burst move, his Poltergust raises him into the air by its straps (left). However, when Gooigi performs the Burst, we can see that his Poltergust is instead attached to him by a solid mass of goo, being part of his body (right).pic.twitter.com/a7xOmUE339

The amount of animation frames for Luigi in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team (including where Mario is part of the sprite, such as when Luigi holds Mario) is the highest for any character in any Mario game, with 14836 individual frames. Below are all of them, at 1/13th the resolution.pic.twitter.com/YI4L8vCZsu

Left: Game Freak designers Shigeki Morimoto and Junichi Masuda holding props from the commercial for the Japanese-only Mario & Wario. Middle: the commercial. Right: since this was one of the last games Game Freak developed before Pokémon, it is referenced in Pokémon Red and Blue.pic.twitter.com/aAYzDjZ0SW

In the intro to Super Paper Mario, Mario's house from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door appears with a black outline (left). This is not the result of a new shading method; instead, the outline is simply drawn separately around all objects to line up with the camera (right).pic.twitter.com/8cE6tGqGZZ

In Super Mario Sunshine, when Mario jumps out of water, droplets fly off his body. This is not merely a graphical effect; they actually dissolve Goop. The droplets can be used to skip most of the Goopy Inferno mission by creating a path from the river through the Lava Goop.pic.twitter.com/NqKRWLLnyk

In Super Mario Bros. 2, strategically placing Potions allows picking up more than 9 coins per level. This will cause the coin count at the roulette to roll over to using letters. Collecting even more coins with cheats causes the display to go through all graphics in the game.pic.twitter.com/1NabRjfIxb

The North American version of Yoshi's Island has two versions: 1.0, available at release (left), and 1.1, introduced several months later (right). Unlike usual revisions, which fix glitches, this one contains only one change: the font in the message boxes was made thicker.pic.twitter.com/A7wzNDbFmC

In Super Mario Odyssey, New Donkers become increasingly more transparent the closer they are to the camera, making it impossible to closely examine their faces in-game. Extracting the models from the data, we can see their faces in maximum detail.pic.twitter.com/9JeddMjQl2

A Japanese print ad for Super Mario Bros. 3 shows an obscured pre-release screenshot of a sky level that has a gradient effect on top of the screen, absent from the finished game (left). I have attempted to recreate the gradient inside a level from the release version (right).pic.twitter.com/xwX3UePXUD

Bowser Jr. almost never wears any clothing outside of his bandana. His "Dr. Bowser Jr." model used in Dr. Mario World has a removable coat and shell, allowing an unobstructed view of him in regular clothing from all sides.pic.twitter.com/n0Uc78bjhJ

In Super Mario Odyssey, the Lake Kingdom is populated by the female-only Lochladies (left). The Art of Super Mario Odyssey book states the original concept for the Seaside Kingdom population was male counterparts to Lochladies called Mermen (right). These were replaced by snails.pic.twitter.com/NzYpAIapAR

A pre-release screenshot of Paper Mario shows a bed without a blanket (left). In the finished game, all Toad House beds have blankets (middle). By modifying the game's code, we can see what Mario sleeping in the bed would look like if the blanket were removed (right).pic.twitter.com/4401vGst2D
