In the Game Boy Advance version of the game, dying enough times during the intro level to get a game over will result in the game's save file displaying "World 0." This is the only time this icon is accessible in the game, and in any version of the game, as the Super Nintendo original gave you infinite lives to beat the tutorial level.

All characters were originally intended to have swimming gear for swimming events. This was later rejected by Sega, as they didn't want characters to have their shoes removed. Instead, only the female characters had swimming outfits (which were also used in Gymnastics events).

Attachment The Japanese, European and Australian versions of the game came packaged with an instructional DVD manual, explaining the basic controls, as well as showing advanced play. It was made because Super Mario Galaxy 2 would be more challenging than its predecessor. It's unknown why a DVD was never packaged for the American release.

Grodus' dialogue has an error within the game's script. If the player chooses "Don't attack", he will say "WORM! You dare defy me?!?", even though the player is doing what he said. Likewise, if the player chooses "Attack", Grodus simply tells Mario to stop his blubbering. The responses appear to be the wrong way round.

TEC is likely based on HAL 9000 from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. Unlike HAL, TEC isn't insane or malevolent. Another Mario series spoof of HAL was HAL 9001 from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! live-action episode "9001: A Mario Odyssey."

The fact that Ghost T. resides in Room 004 is a reference to Japanese and Chinese culture in which the number four (四; Rōmaji: shi, Pinyin: sì) is regarded as unlucky, as it sounds similar to the word "death" (死; Rōmaji: shi, Pinyin: sǐ ).

If the player looks through Professor Frankly's trash can after fighting the Shadow Sirens, they can find Vivian's Tattle, but not Marilyn's or Beldam's. This foreshadows that Vivian would join the party, rather than fight Mario again with the other sirens, as only Tattles of one-time enemies can be found in the trash.

Attachment A sequel to the Diddy Kong Racing was being developed titled Donkey Kong Racing, where Donkey Kong would be the main character. The game was first announced at E3 in 2001 and a trailer was shown at Space World in the same year. The game was going to be released for the Nintendo Gamecube. However, because Rare was acquired by Microsoft in 2002, the game was cancelled. After the buyout, the game was heavily reworked as Sabreman Stampede, which was planned for an Xbox 360 release. However, this iteration, too, ended up being canceled due to a lack of focus and Rare's unfamiliarity with the hardware.
