Robo Trailing

In the Super Mario 3D World game style of Super Mario Maker 2, Piranha Creepers can be used to punish players that move quickly.

If a Piranha Creeper is placed on top of the Goal Pole in the manner shown in the footage, then approaching it too quickly will make the player character die. Only by moving very slowly will the character touch the Goal Pole's hitbox first, and be able to complete the course.

In the beginning of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Peach is cursed to have her voice turn into bombs whenever she speaks*. The bombs cause explosions and shake the ground upon falling.

The prototype version of the game also adds Toads falling from the ceiling when Peach's voice bombs explode, which was removed from the finished version of the game.

*this situation is more complex than it appears at that point in the game, but a more detailed explanation of the events is omitted to reduce spoilers for those who have not yet played it.

Hydro Thunder (Eurocom, Midway, 2000)

Super Mario Galaxy contains four unused objects that each have a "cut plane", a dividing plane in their models along which they are meant to be cut, as though sliced with a blade. It is unknown what these could have been used for.

As internal files for Super Mario Odyssey contain evidence of a scrapped "sword attack" for Mario, it is possible to speculate that a similar ability was at one point planned for Super Mario Galaxy as well (alongside with early Super Mario RPG designs using a sword but not implementing it in the final game, Mario games seem to have a history of proposing but ultimately forgoing the idea of giving Mario a sword).

Lily x Marisa, Street Fighter 6

New Super Mario Bros. U/Deluxe contains a "Phantom Piranha Plant" phenomenon whereby sometimes Stalking Piranha Plants will simply disappear without any explanation.

Note how in the footage, Toadette is on a platform with a Piranha Plant in the beginning, then very briefly lets it out of sight when picking up a Koopa shell. However, upon returning, the Piranha Plant is gone. Note also that these enemies are programmed to turn around on ledges, so it cannot have walked off the platform.
