Possibly-crazy stuff you haven't noticed about the Mario series until recently

This topic is for things you've only recently realized about the Mario series or its spinoffs.

DKC's Jungle Hijinx music has the same drumbeat as Yoshi's Island's level intro.

Bowser's down special in Super Smash Bros. comes from his fight in SMB3.

The "World Select" music in SMA4 is a remix of Vs. SMB's "Name Entry" music.
 
"Proof of Existence" from Super Paper Mario contains a few notes of Super Mario Galaxy's main theme, despite the game releasing before Mario Galaxy.
 
...do any of these musics actually have been based off those or are those tunes just so happen to contain the same notes?
 
Ok, I'm cheating here because its not official and I've known about it for years, but I still can't believe super hornio brothers exists.
 
ARG, That SMA4 theme....thank you so much! That has been bugging me so much for ages.

Well, if I may share any of my experiences, it'd be realizing that Foreman Spike's Japanese name isn't Blacky, but rather Breaky.
 
It took me a while to realize that that song from Super Mario 64 was actually from Yoshi's Island (that bonus stage song).

I noticed that when Waluigi was not in Mario Kart 7, everyone was losing their mind and thinking that Nintendo was phasing Waluigi, but when Birdo was not in Mario Kart 8, no one batted an eye.

People were more worried about Diddy, Bowser Jr and King Boo and why the hell PGP existed.

When I was younger, I thought Yoshis had no teeth.
