In most languages, the Colored Pencils boss in Paper Mario: The Origami King has a somewhat lengthy name he introduces himself with. In the English version, it is "Jean-Pierre Colored Pencils the 12th".
The French translation, however, goes one step beyond the other versions and gives him an absurdly lengthy name that also forms an acronym if the individual names are taken as initials. The name is "Côme Raoul Aimé Yves Oscar Nicolas Siméon de Couleur", where the first seven names spell out "C. R. A. Y. O. N. S. de Couleur", French for "colored pencils".

As a fic writer, i need every reader to know that:
I don’t care if your comment is coherent. I know what you mean and i love you
I don’t care if you ramble. I read every word and i love you
I don’t care if you leave a comment on a fic from four years ago or leave comments/kudos on like ten of my fics in one go. This isn’t IG, pls stalk my AO3. I love you
I don’t care if you mention the same thing in your comment that four other people have already mentioned. It’s actually really useful to know what resonated with people and I love everyone who takes the time to tell me they liked a particular turn of phrase
I don’t mind if your comment is super long or just a couple of sentences, i love them all
I love you

Level 5-4 of Yoshi's Island, Sluggy the Unshaven's Fort, contains a lengthy section that is supposed to be "autoscroll-like" as it contains no floor and Yoshi is intended to use a Support Ghost, a moving platform with a specific pattern of moving and stopping, to get across.
However, Yoshi's maneuverability in this game is actually high enough that by using frame-perfect Flutter Jumps and bouncing off some of the flying enemies, it is possible to cross the entire section without using the Support Ghost and skip having to wait for its movement.

In Super Mario Odyssey, during the Bound Bowl Grand Prix, some of the rival Shiverian Racers can become stuck near certain slopes, hopping in place without moving. At that point, Mario can bounce into them to push them completely off the course. Interestingly, they will not respawn, and analyzing the game's internal state reveals that they will keep falling into the void indefinitely as long as the minigame continues.
Note that the screen fades out in the footage due to Mario reaching the edge of the track; although Mario's own position is reset, the rival Shiverian Racer will keep falling into the abyss as described above.

In Super Mario Strikers, the Super Team is a team composed almost entirely of identical robots called "Supers", and which is unlocked by beating them in the Bowser Cup.
Due to every team's goalie being a Kritter and the developers likely not wanting to spend time adjusting the Kritter's animations to a Super so that the team can be entirely made of Supers, a design compromise was made whereby the Super Team's goalie is a "Robo-Kritter" that has the same model as the regular Kritter, but robotic textures.
It is difficult to see the Robo-Kritter up close in-game. Above is a detailed look at the design.

Development files for Super Mario Kart contain what appear to be tests for various facial expressions of the Bullet Bill obstacle that appears exclusively in the Match Race mode (which, due to its unusual frontal-only view, resembles either a Chain Chomp or a Flame Chomp).
