In Super Mario Galaxy, entering first person view turns Mario into a semi-transparent state where his eye sockets turn white.

However, in Super Mario 3D All-Stars, Mario's eyes turn bloodshot, and in the Nintendo Switch release, his eyes are missing.

The Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Bundle has added support for amiibo.

Scanning most amiibo provides the player with 15 Star Bits.

Since there's no cooldown for this feature, a player can simply scan amiibo indefinitely for unlimited Star Bits.

Here's a comparison between Bloom effects in all Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 releases.

There's an intricate Glitch that removes the player's checkpoint in Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Nintendo Switch's Throwback Galaxy.

After getting the checkpoint at the top of the stage and walking back through the level, dying while fighting the Whomp King in Assist Mode will remove the checkpoint.

In the Super Mario Galaxy games, the staff credits text is always loaded into RAM despite not being needed until the ending. While horribly inefficient, this is inadvertently heartwarming as the games appear to honor their creators by keeping them in memory at all times.

The Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Bundle contains a glitch that breaks the cursor, making it difficult to collect Starbits.

It is currently unknown how this glitch occurs but it persists even after exiting the level or changing game modes.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, it's possible to die in the end-game credits by infinite fluttering with Yoshi.

However, in Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Nintendo Switch, having Assist Mode enabled prevents the player from dying, instead taking them to the previous section where the visible level is unloaded.

Kamek no longer tells Mario to "go to hell" in the Simplified Chinese script of the Switch version of Super Mario Galaxy 1+2.

The Switch translation is more literal to the Japanese script, where Kamek tells Mario to roll on the ground instead.

Glitches in the Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Bundle appear to remain unpatched from their original Wii releases.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Wild Glide Galaxy is "larger than the universe", going outside the boundaries of its own skybox. The game simply drags the skybox alongside Mario's position to keep the area immediately around him within the boundaries.
