In a 2010 interview, Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that the reason so many Mario enemies have repetitive names in Japanese (and by extension in English, e.g. Koopa Troopa, Cheep Cheep) is in honor of Takashi Tezuka, who calls himself "Ten Ten".

In honor of the upcoming retirement of Takashi Tezuka, director and producer of many Mario games, after 42 years at Nintendo:
"The reason so many names are repeated twice is because Tezuka-san refers to himself as "Ten Ten". It's a rather childish nickname, but I thought it was amusing (laughs). So I created this series of repeating names."
-Shigeru Miyamoto in a 2010 Nintendo Dream interview
DESIGNER. TEN TEN
Examples of Mario enemies with repeating names:
Nokonoko ノコノコ Koopa Troopa
Patapata パタパタ Koopa Paratroopa
Pukupuku プクプク Cheep Cheep
Basabasa バサバサ Swoop
Wanwan ワンワン Chain Chomp
Bunbun ブンブン Boom Boom
Takashi Tezuka called himself "Ten Ten" both in private and in early game credits (NES Legend of Zelda shown). Note that the enemy names are also preexisting Japanese onomatopoeia; it is specifically the decision to use those for their names that is in honor of Tezuka.

Most of the footage of the famous 2000 "Super Mario 128" tech demo was recorded with handheld cameras by the audience, with the presenter drowning out the game sound. Only 10 seconds of direct feed footage exist, which reveal that the sound was a cacophony of Marios screaming.

The kiosk demo of Mario Kart DS contained "Flesh Trucks" due to a spelling error. While the error was fixed in the final version, looking at the preview image for GCN Mushroom Bridge very closely shows that the truck still has an L. As such, the memory of the Flesh Truck remains.

Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.

In 2D Mario platformers, Mario can either crouch or slide, but is denied the ability to sit in place. However, with a specific setup in Super Mario Bros. 3, Mario will come to rest in a sliding animation, finally allowing him to simply sit.

For a long time, humorous clips of Mario saying "Hello door" and "Another door?!" in Super Mario Sunshine were known about, but presumed unused. It turns out they can actually be heard in the game by performing an unreasonably specific action in the debug testing room.
