A French print ad for Paper Mario, depicting Mario and Bowser battling using scissors. While scissors did not appear in that game, over a decade later, Mario both used scissors and fought against them in Paper Mario: Sticker Star and Paper Mario: The Origami King, respectively.

@Whirlwind_Armor I have prepared a picture of Luigi with his mustache removed for you; I apologize for not including that variation in the original post!

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story contains unused sprites of Mario being pressed into the shape of a key. Luigi would have needed to carry Mario on his head in this form, presumably to then insert him into a lock somewhere.

Last year, I attempted to get a closer look at the unique Snailicorn enemy from New Super Mario Bros. by increasing the game's internal resolution. Now, thanks to Models Resource member "lemurboy12", the model has been extracted, allowing us to finally see it from all sides.

Normally, whenever Mario dies in Super Mario Bros. 3, all moving objects freeze in place. However, Fire Piranha Plants are unique in that they are still partially active during this, continuing to turn their heads to look at Mario even during his death animation.

The Brothers Bear from Donkey Kong Country 3 do not exist as distinct sprites in the game's data. Instead, every bear is created by taking a generic "base bear" sprite, recoloring it, then superimposing details specific to that bear on it to save space on the cartridge.

Concept sketch of Mario capturing Peach from the Art of Super Mario Odyssey book (left), based on official art from Super Princess Peach (right). According to the book, Peach was one of the first ideas for characters Mario could capture; this was dropped in the finished game.
