Top right: a screenshot of the main menu of Wrecking Crew ‘98 for the Super Famicom, a Japanese-only remake/sequel to the NES game. The game contains an updated mode as well as a classic mode, which is the unaltered original game. The main menu features a preview image for the classic mode that uses slightly different sprites than the NES game.

Bottom left: a close-up look at Mario’s sprite in the original game and in the remake’s classic mode.

Bottom right: a close-up look at Mario’s sprite in the preview image. Mario’s hard hat is now conical, his nose is longer, he has less hair, and the button has been removed from his overalls, among other changes.

In Super Mario World, it is possible to destroy the balls Iggy and Larry throw by sliding into them. Since this is not intended by the developers, the balls’ sprites turn into glitched graphics as they fall offscreen; the sprite assumes the form of one quarter of a front-facing Reznor sprite, colored red and rotated.

Print ad promoting the Nintendo 64. There are two notable things about this ad:
1. Games are being referred to by their prerelease titles instead of finalized names, such as “Yoshi’s Island 64″ for Yoshi’s Story and “Zelda 64″ for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
2. Looking at the list of games being promoted, as well as screenshots featured in the right column, we can see that Mario Kart 64 is not among either group. Thus, the ad uses a Mario Kart 64 background (Frappe Snowland) and a Mario Kart 64 render to advertise 13 other games, but not Mario Kart 64 itself.
