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.

I finally finished a full, complete 100% run with the new route and beat my 7 year old be by 2 whole seconds. This run still has a bunch of mistakes but the new route saves so much time. More improvements soon.

The Super Mario Sunshine debug room contains a seemingly unassuming barrel that will become extradimensional if Mario slides into it. The barrel will appear to be superimposed onto reality like a PNG badly edited into the image.

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.

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.
In Mario Kart Wii, asphalt is slightly shiny, always seeming to reflect light in a narrow band ahead of the driver.
Increasing the contrast of the image makes the effect more visible.
Internally, this effect is achieved in an extremely simple way by leveraging an existing system:
Mipmapping is a practice whereby several copies of a texture are stored, each smaller than the previous by a factor of 2. The further away from the camera a point is, the smaller the texture is that is applied to it. This reduces aliasing (the interference patterns created by viewing high-detail surfaces at oblique angles) and improves rendering speed.
The textures are then smoothly blended. This is supported natively by the hardware and happens automatically.
SLIGHTLY BRIGHTER!
Original road texture: 1024x256 pixels
closer to camera
512x128 pixels
256x64 pixels
128x32 pixels
64x16 32x8 pixels pixels
further from camera
By making only the second texture slightly brighter, the system that automatically places the texture a certain distance away from the camera is leveraged to make a band of light that appears to move automatically with the player.
On the right, each mipmap is colored differently for a more striking demonstration.
Fun fact:
this usage of mipmaps to make a rainbow occurs in Paper Mario on the Nintendo 64!

It is possible to use a The Legend of Zelda cartridge to unlock the world selection option in Super Mario Bros., by swapping the cartridges without turning off the NES and performing specific actions in The Legend of Zelda before swapping back.
How to use The Legend of Zelda to unlock a world selection option in Super Mario Bros.
First, start up the Super Mario Bros. cartridge. This is necessary to set memory address 07FF to the value A5. TLOZ will not overwrite it, and SMB will need it to be A5 later.
Cartridge swap Super Mario Bros. to The Legend of Zelda. Do not turn off the power, instead just swap the cartridges and use Reset to make the console start the new game. TLOZ will be used to write a specific value to memory.
Start a new file and buy the blue candle.* You will need literally no other item, just the 60 rupees to buy it.
This is used to access the Level 8 dungeon. *Go right one screen, up two screens, and right six screens from the start to find the shop that sells it.
With the blue candle, open up Level 8**, and go to the room directly left of the entrance. This sets memory address 07FC to 20, which unlocks the level select in SMB.
**Go left one screen and down one screen from the blue candle shop and burn the conspicuous single tree.
Cartridge swap back to Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros. will look for A5 at 07FF, which it set itself earlier, and 20 at 07FC, which The Legend of Zelda just set, to unlock the level select.
Now, pressing B on the title screen will cycle through all worlds, allowing you to start the game on any of them, e.g. World 8-1. This would normally be accessed by beating the game, but this trick bypasses it.
For more details and an in-depth explanation, please see the video by YouTube user @MrCheeze at youtu.be/Ie_gyHG8hAU

In Super Paper Mario, characters sometimes go into the background, making them look far away. However, in reality they just get smaller. By strategically wiggling in place for 9 minutes, Peach can "pop out" of the background, revealing her tiny nature and breaking the illusion.

Working on a GPU particles rain system that can work together with VRC Light Volumes and my prototype of a volumetric fog. Every raindrop creates ripples and small droplets from it. Bluesky compresses the quality like crazy, it looks 100 times better in game.
