‘Cancel’ comes from a Latin word meaning “to make like a lattice.”
When people needed to annul or void a document, they sometimes would mark it with crosshatches
XXXXX
which resembled a lattice.
So the document became ‘canceled.’
...we hope this post doesn’t get us that.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, the characters are deathly allergic to wearing inappropriate clothing. If Mario and Luigi are made to wear Bowser's clothes or vice versa, all their stats drop to 0. It is unknown if this is merely a code quirk or an intentional failsafe.

The Bowser in the Sky skybox from Super Mario 64 is well-known for its ominous appearance. However, it is actually made by combining real sky photos from texture libraries and then color-shifting them. Restoring the image from the original files shows it to be rather serene.

An obscure interaction in the Super Mario Galaxy games is that if Mario touches another power-up while under the influence of the Rainbow Star, it will fly away in a comically large arc.
