There is a glitch that causes Mario to hold his hat in his right hand. This occurs when Mario picks up two hats in rapid succession. If Mario loses his hat in Snowman's Land by being blown away by the giant snowman's breath, and then takes the warp under the tree, his hat will duplicate, and retrieving it will cause this glitch.

Several of Mario's voiced lines didn't exist in the original Japanese version of the game, and were added for western releases:
• "Hello" and "Press Start to Play" during the demo screen with Mario's head.
• "Okey-dokey!" when choosing a save file.
• "Let's-a go!" when choosing a star.
• "Game over." when Mario runs out of lives.
• His dreams about pasta are missing.
• "I'm-a tired." - when the player is idle.
• "So long-a Bowser!" - when Mario throws Bowser a long distance.
• "D'oh!" - when long-jumping, sliding, or diving into a wall.
• "Boing!" - when bouncing off of a Spindrift's head.
• Mario will say either "Yahoo!", "Wha-ha!", or "Yippee!" during the last jump in a triple jump. In the Japanese game, he says "Yahoo!" every time for the third jump.
• In the opening sequence, Mario says "Yahoo! Ha ha!" when he leaps out of the pipe instead of just "Yahoo!" in the Japanese version.
• "Hello" and "Press Start to Play" during the demo screen with Mario's head.

The Idea for Metal Mario may have come from an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto published in 1991, in Nintendo Power's Mario Mania Player's Guide, Miyamoto reportedly said: "Who knows what Mario will look like in the future? Maybe he'll wear metallic clothes!"

In 1997, Nintendo released a Japan-exclusive version of Super Mario 64 which had Rumble Pak support. It also included the English voice acting which the original Japanese version didn't have, and fixed some glitches. This version would later see an international release when Super Mario 64 was included in Super Mario 3D All-Stars.

In the original Japanese version, if the player runs to where a key will land after defeating Bowser in the Dark World or Fire Sea, presses C-Up and looks somewhere, Mario will keep looking in that direction during the key collection cutscene.

There is a cancelled sequel for Super Mario 64, commonly called "Super Mario 64 2" or "Super Mario 128" (not to be confused with the tech demo of the same name) for the failed N64 DD. Only one demo was ever made, but was never shown to the public. The only information known about the game is that Luigi was going to feature in it, and co-operative play was a speculated feature. Since these two elements feature in Super Mario 64 DS, it's possible that other elements from Super Mario 64 2 were incorporated into Super Mario 64 DS.

MIPS, the rabbit in the castle basement, is named after the MIPS (Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages) microprocessor. The Nintendo 64's CPU runs on a MIPS Microprocessor, so the name was chosen for the rabbit.

In early development of the game when Nintendo were working on character movement and camera angles, they only had two characters; MIPS the rabbit and Mario. MIPS was planned to be just a testing dummy, but made it into the final game because they didn't want to part with him.
