Design from an officially licensed 2008 Mario T-shirt. Note that the mushroom in the image is actually a Mushroom Block from Super Mario Bros. 2, which unlike the vast majority of mushrooms in the Mario series, cannot be eaten by Mario and can only be thrown as a projectile.

Whether this is an oversight or a deliberate choice to imply that the Koopas are being kept away by throwing mushrooms at them is unknown.

An early preview of New Super Mario Bros. contained a curious block that is completely absent from the finished game. It appears as a rotating Yellow Block from Super Mario 64 until it is hit, whereupon it changes color to green, now appearing identical to a Metal Cap Block from that game, and dispenses a Super Mushroom.

Unfortunately, no other footage of this block is available so it is unknown what would have happened if it was hit again in its green state. It is possible that it was removed from the finished game since, while looking exactly like a preexisting block from Super Mario 64, it acts in a way that is so different that it might have confused returning players.

In most languages, the Colored Pencils boss in Paper Mario: The Origami King has a somewhat lengthy name he introduces himself with. In the English version, it is "Jean-Pierre Colored Pencils the 12th".

The French translation, however, goes one step beyond the other versions and gives him an absurdly lengthy name that also forms an acronym if the individual names are taken as initials. The name is "Côme Raoul Aimé Yves Oscar Nicolas Siméon de Couleur", where the first seven names spell out "C. R. A. Y. O. N. S. de Couleur", French for "colored pencils".
