Top: the second mission of Good Egg Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy, played in 16:9 aspect ratio. Note there being nothing inside the marked yellow circle. Right: the same frame of that mission, played in 4:3 aspect ratio. Note a Star Bit comet having appeared inside the circle. C While it is normal for objects to spawn at different times and using different camera angles when using different aspect ratios due to some objects being coded to only appear when they are on screen and the screen being different sizes, the notable thing here is that in 16:9 ratio, this Star Bit will simply never spawn. This is also the only known object in the game with this property. Source: Supper Mario Broth, screenshots taken in a Wii emulator, game: Super Mario Galaxy (NA, Wii)

*Supper Mario Broth @MarioBrothBlog In the intro to Super Mario Galaxy, a Toad trapped in a crystal changes expressions from happy when Mario is near to sad when he isn't, creating the expression that he is still conscious inside the crystal and is rejoicing at Mario's presence and despairing at his absence. Mario is near the Toad Mario is further from the Toad The Toad is happy, as though relieved to see Mario The Toad is sad, as though concerned that he can't see Mario anymore The technical explanation for this is that the crystal and Toad within it change between a high-polygon and low-polygon version based on how close the camera, and thus Mario, is to them. It appears that the expression assigned to the high-polygon Toad is different than the low-polygon one, creating this effect. Whether this is an oversight or done deliberately to create that effect is unknown. Source: Supper Mario Broth, screenshot taken in a Wii emulator, game: Super Mario Galaxy (NA, WIT)
