In WarioWare: Get It Together, the "Don't Waste the Paste" microgame consists of the playable character squeezing toothpaste from a tube. As is traditional for WarioWare games, on higher difficulty levels, the toothpaste has a small chance to be replaced with an unexpected object, in this case a long dog or a long cat. Here are the graphics for the long animals, extracted from the game's files.

Mario's Super Picross (initially released only in Japan for the Super Famicom before being released worldwide as part of the Nintendo Switch Online SNES lineup) contains a unique procedure during its boot sequence where, upon checking the integrity of the code, the game will print "It is Hot Start." into the beginning of the console's memory, and then finally start loading the game and display the title screen.
The game itself never displays these words to the user and it is believed to have been a message used by the developers to ascertain that the boot sequence was successful.

In Mario Kart 64, it is extremely difficult to encounter the above screen, showing the player as having placed 8th in a Grand Prix. This is due to the fact that a Grand Prix can only finish if the player places at least 4th or higher in all four of the races, which means that the player must somehow have the least amount of points out of all drivers despite needing to be faster than half of them in any given race.
The only way this can be achieved is with extremely careful manipulation of opponents, so that every single CPU driver has the chance to obtain more points than the player by placing relatively high in at least one of the four races. This is complicated by the fact that all CPU drivers are assigned a “power ranking” at the beginning of a Grand Prix, so that the one with the highest ranking will tend to drive best and the one with the lowest ranking will drive much worse.
While it is easy to have the three top-ranking CPUs finish ahead of the player, doing that with the other 4 requires continuously sabotaging the better CPUs to let the worse ones take the lead despite their programming being designed to stay behind the other drivers. So far, only very few instances of players actually managing to rank 8th in a Grand Prix without external tools have been recorded.

The NES manual for Dr. Mario reveals that Dr. Mario works at the virus research lab at the Mushroom Kingdom Hospital, and that the virus infestation that he is battling in-game was caused by an out-of-control experiment at that same lab. This implies that Dr. Mario might himself be partially or fully responsible for the infestation, depending on whether he was in charge of the experiment in question.
If he was responsible, then the plot of the game (and potentially the entire Dr. Mario series) is actually Dr. Mario performing damage control in the wake of his own mistake.
