Super Mario Sunshine is surprisingly more realistic than later Mario games in one specific aspect: here, Mario will start drowning if he hangs on to a ledge in such a way that water is flowing into his nose and mouth, as one would in real life.

Observe Mario holding on to a ledge that water is flowing over in Super Mario Galaxy (left) and Super Mario Odyssey (right). If realistic physics applied, he should start drowning since his nostrils and mouth are covered by water flowing into them.
However, in these games the air depletion/drowning state is tied to the swimming animation. As long as Mario is not visibly swimming, he cannot be drowning even if he is covered by water.
In Super Mario Sunshine, however, air depletion is decoupled from swimming as an action, allowing Mario to realistically start drowning in this situation (note him flashing red and his air meter depleting).
However, he is saved by Sunshine's (also unique among 3D Mario platformers) ledge tiredness mechanic. After hanging on for 20 seconds, Mario will let go. This is also realistic, since why would he let himself drown?

Alt lounging on a bed/couch thing holding a gamepad in front of a window with a view suspiciously similar to that one Windows XP wallpaper everybody knows. There is a PS2-esque console by it.

Drawing of a short haired girl shutting her eyes and pushing forward with her lips in anticipation of kissing another girl, who is more calmly leaning in to kiss while her toothy mimic mouth is looming over the other girl, ready to eat.

Many games for the GameCube use only a fraction of the storage capacity of the disc. I have analyzed the data to determine what the maximum number of retail Mario games that can fit on a single disc would be, creating the Luigi & Wario + Puzzle + Rhythm Maximum Value Pack.

$A GameCube disc has a storage capacity of 1.46 gigabytes. Many Mario games use only a fraction of that storage. Below is the optimal distribution of the smallest Mario-related games on the system to fit 6 entire retail games on a single disc. Unused space 54 MB Luigi's Mansion 186 MB DDR Mario Mix 264 MB Wario World 257 MB Donkey Konga 2 312 MB Donkey Konga 250 MB Please note that this pie chart is for data visualization only. If the games were in fact put on one disc, the data would be arranged in rings, not in slices. Concept for post based on an idea from a comment by @vinchvolt.bsky.social$

While Mario collects fictional gold coins in his games, Wario in Wario World collects the real-life "American Gold Eagle" official US gold bullion coins (91.67% gold).

In Super Mario Advance 2, a "pink Mario head replica" object can be created, which will sit on the ground and mimic Mario's head (except in pink). It does nothing when touched, but will give a power-up when eaten.

A photo from Stardom, a Japanese women's wrestling federation. Perfectly centered is a woman on her knees leaning forward against the ropes. Five women in fun, colorful, sparkly outfits are all mid-air launching towards her to deliver flying kicks to her back, lined up close to each other and about to land their attacks all at once.

mario is shopping in j sainssbury (he has a trolley of groceries). he is asking a staff member where the pasta(??) is. she is pointing and saying 'it's over there, sir'. he thanks her for telling him. another staff member is behind a cash register. you can see the magazine section at the back of the store. you can also see a sign 'paws' cat food and a sign at the back for what i would presume is liquor (buy 2 get 1 free).

In Mario Kart Wii, asphalt is slightly shiny, reflecting a band of light ahead of the player. This is implemented cleverly by leveraging something that the Wii is already doing, allowing it to not need to use any sort of additional lighting or post-processing.

Some jingles and fanfares in Mario games are based on snippets of the main theme, allowing the player to time actions to play the jingle as a perfect extension of the music.
