Mario Kart Wii contains a bizarre unused function called "rk_snowTest", presumably meant to test snow, that concentrates every single snowflake in the course above the player character in a line. Note the thin vertical line of snowflakes above Koopa Troopa in the footage.

As that in no way represents how snow should actually appear or behave, it is unclear how displaying it in this manner could have possibly helped to test its functionality.

Unauthorized severely deformed Goomba plush with its face being upside-down in relation to its body. As it is already illegally using a "Super Mario" tag, it is unlikely that the manufacturer wished to somehow avoid any copyright dispute by modifying the design, and instead simply made an error while attempting to recreate a plausible Goomba plush.

Top: in Donkey Kong Country, the Master Necky boss is a bird whose main body is never seen. Instead, merely its head and neck appear from offscreen, being able to instantly switch what side of the screen it appears from.

Bottom: an official Japanese guide for the game contains a humorous illustration where Donkey Kong theorizes that the only way this is possible is if Master Necky actually has two heads, and each is simply hiding behind its own side of the screen.

Top: unused early model of Sand Spiral Galaxy found in the files of Super Mario Galaxy. Note the jar below the large planetoid.

Bottom: comparing this to the finished version of the galaxy reveals the purpose of the jar. It was most likely intended to collect the sand falling down from the main entrance to the planetoid. It is unknown why the jar was removed and replaced with a simplistic fade-out effect for the sand in the final version.

Concept art for the 2023 Super Mario Bros. movie.

Note that due to this seemingly taking place in the past with characters like Peach and Daisy being high school students, this means the character in the foreground is a young version of Bowser rather than Bowser Jr. as it might appear at first glance.

Development files for Super Mario World contain a version of the game's ending screen in Japanese that suggests that the ending message was intended to be shown on a black background with some kind of (potentially unique) image in the bottom right that was overwritten with other tiles later in development.

In the finished game, this message is instead shown on top of the screen in the final Bowser boss arena after Peach is released from Bowser's Koopa Clown Car.
