When playing with two or more players, a player that loses all their lives during a level while the others are still alive can hold different directions on the D-Pad and then press 1 or 2 to play specific sound effects over the level's music like a snare drum, kick drum, cowbells, clapping, and two jump-like sound effects.

A local game retailer in Australia released the game on November 6, 2009, six days prior to the official Australian release date. 24-year old James Burt bought the early copy of the game and shared it with others on a file-sharing network, where people could illegally download the game. Despite the 50,000 downloads, Nintendo of Australia later took it down and sued James in court for copyright infringement on February 6, 2010. He was forced to pay AU$1.5 million.

When enemies dance in sync with both games' music, Pokeys will swap their spikes for flowers for a brief moment. If a Pokey is eaten with Yoshi during this point in time it will be instantly defeated and the Yoshi will lay an egg containing a power-up. The power-up can range from coins to 1-ups depending on how many segments the Pokey had when it was eaten.

Shigeru Miyamoto considered making Princess Peach a playable character, like in Super Mario Bros. 2, instead of the damsel in distress. He eventually decided against it because of how difficult it would have been to animate her dress, and instead had two Toads. They were eventually able to manage having Peach being playable in mainline games with Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Run and Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
