[[File:BeachKoopa-Bowser.png|thumb|Bowser is de-shelled, as seen in the DOS version of the game.]]
In the DOS version, Luigi takes Bowser's shell (which covers his tail in this depiction) off, causing Bowser to run off-screen, embarrassed about his polka-dot boxers. This is the only time Bowser has been seen without his shell. Luigi shakes the shell to retrieve the key to Mario's cell, then throws the carapace away. Bowser returns wondering where his shell is, with Luigi then lying to him saying he threw the shell off the balcony; then, when Bowser leans over the railing to look for it, Luigi kicks him off and he lands in the snow. Luigi then opens Mario's cell and the two dance around in joy. They then go outside and shake Yoshi's hand before walking off into the distance together. Bowser then pokes his head out of the snow, looking in their direction with his shell back on.

In the Macintosh version, Bowser does not run off after his boxers are revealed, and Luigi smacks him off the balcony with his own shell.

*The pamphlet for the [[Berlin Wall]] claims that the {{wp|Cold War}} was a conflict between {{wp|East Germany}} and {{wp|West Germany}}, and that the wall was built out of a mutual belief that unification was impossible. In actuality, the Cold War was a period of political and military tension between the [[United States of America]] and the {{wp|Soviet Union}}. Following {{wp|Nazi Germany}}'s defeat in {{wp|World War II}}, the country was partitioned between the two superpowers as parts of their spheres of influence (with America gaining influence over West Germany and the Soviet Union gaining influence over East Germany). The Berlin Wall was then unilaterally built by East Germany specifically to deter residents from defecting to West Berlin.

*Although some ''Super Mario'' media supply voice acting for the [[Koopalings]] (namely the DiC cartoons), the ''CD-ROM Deluxe'' edition is the first game to have them voiced, as well as the only game to actually supply them with dialogue until the release of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. Later games starting with ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' have the Koopalings voiced, although it is limited to roars and grunts.

*The ''CD-ROM Deluxe'' release features a non-standard CD-ROM logo, which unusually depicts a CD design only widely utilized by West German manufacturer PolyGram and its successor plants in France, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the United States from 1982 to the mid-1990s. This design is distinguished by the disc hub, which is fully mirrored (appearing black in scans and the logo) apart from a laser-etched band along the circumference. Why this specific design was used instead of a more generic clear-hubbed disc is unknown.
