Supper Mario Broth

In Paper Mario: Color Splash, a Shy Guy is trapped in a water wheel after being bullied. The internal name for this pose is "crucify". This suggests that the original intent may have been for him to actually evoke a crucifixion before it was decided this may be in bad taste.
When rumble is turned on in Luigi's Mansion 3, the controller will vibrate in the presence of a Boo. The vibration is actually in a rhythm that spells out "-... --- ---" in Morse code, which translates to "BOO".
Addendum: please note that this wording is only present in the English version, and absent in both the Japanese original and other translations. As such, the implication is clearly not intentional and is merely a bizarre choice on part of the English translator!
In a 2010 interview, Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that the reason so many Mario enemies have repetitive names in Japanese (and by extension in English, e.g. Koopa Troopa, Cheep Cheep) is in honor of Takashi Tezuka, who calls himself "Ten Ten".
