=List of Mario-related fan art highlighted by Nintendo= [need to find more material for this page]

This page lists fan-produced, Mario-related artwork acknowledged and shared by Nintendo in various venues.

Play Nintendo
The "Pics" category on the Play Nintendo website contains several galleries dedicated to fan work inspired by Nintendo media. One such gallery is a selection of Luigi-related works submitted by Miiverse users to Nintendo for The Year of Luigi, shown below alongside the Miiverse usernames and regions of their respective artists.

New Super Mario Bros. games
Many musical tracks in the New Super Mario Bros. games incorporate a form of diegetic audio, mostly in the form of “bah” vocals. Interspersed at various points within a level’s music track, these vocals, when heard, cause objects and enemies on-screen to perform an action simultaneously. In underwater levels, a brief tinkling sound effect plays instead.

Donkey Kong Country series
In newer Donkey Kong Country games, hand slapping in front of certain objects causes them to play music that replaces the current soundtrack. The music swaps back to the non-diegetic soundtrack once the player hand slaps near the object again or exits the current area.

Donkey Kong Country Returns
In Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, hand slapping near the television in the KONG hut at the beginning of Jungle Hijinxs causes it to play the game's title theme.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch version feature a similar Easter egg at the beginning of Mangrove Cove; inside the plane wreck, there is a pile of TVs which produce the title theme of Donkey Kong Country Returns upon performing a nearby hand slap.

At the end of Canopy Chaos, there is a phonograph on an upper platform. When activated with a hand slap, the current soundtrack ends and the phonograph plays the title theme of Donkey Kong Country instead.

=List of vehicles in Mario Party 9= ''[This is a page I made that I'm saving in my sandbox because I like how it looks. Since it has been decided through a proposal that it should be trimmed and merged with the Mario Party 9 page, do not attempt to re-create it.]''

In Mario Party 9, characters collectively drive a vehicle to move through a board. There are three different exclusive vehicles for each stage: one is available by default, while the other two can be unlocked in the Museum for 200 Party Points each. All vehicles share a basic structure with a broad compartment for the characters to stay in, containing seats on the back side and a means of lighting on the frontal side. However, the type of a vehicle depends on the environment of the board in which it is used.

The following table lists all vehicles by board (and the corresponding vehicle type). A description is also presented along with each vehicle. Colored sections mark a starter vehicle.

The Play Nintendo website has a section with Nintendo-themed printables, divided into three categories: "Cards", "Crafts" and "Print and Play". The printables come in the form of PDFs which can be downloaded from the website directly, and are usually accompanied by instructions on how to use them.
