In Paper Mario, Mayor Penguin is found seemingly dead, with Mario being suspected of his murder. However, if a letter is delivered to him during that time, he will get up, thank Mario, and promptly go back to being dead. Unfortunately, this cannot prove Mario's innocence.

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!

Bangai-O Spirits on the DS had a level editor that was pretty robust and you could share it with other people.... through SOUND. You could hold your DS speaker up to another DS' microphone and it would play a sound that would be picked up as a level.

While this may be difficult to notice in-game, the Vanilla Lake 1 and Vanilla Lake 2 tracks in Super Mario Kart take place on the exact same lake, merely at different stages of the ice melting. The outer boundary of the lake remains almost identical between the two.

Richard Scarry's Busytown (1994) You cannot play as any of the numerous rabbit inhabitants of Busytown. You can however build a house for them, serve them food and deliver goods for them. So it's like you're a humble rabbit servant, which is still a pretty sweet gig!

In Super Mario Galaxy, waking Mario up from a short nap and not moving will make him look sleepy. Waking up from a long nap will make him look even sleepier. Remarkably, this appears to be entirely unintentional and merely an extremely appropriate bug in the blinking engine.

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.

In Mario Party 3, the message debug mode features Peach walking in a white void while messages are displayed, except all portraits are replaced by Boo. This creates the impression of a bizarre scenario where Boo is showing off his wide repertoire of character impressions to Peach.

When a Spiny Shell is about to hit a racer in Mario Kart World, it aims for the center of their model before exploding. For small racers, e.g. Goomba, this results in a single frame where it fully envelops them, giving off the appearance of the shell itself driving the vehicle.
