Official art of Mario’s head without any facial features, found in the activity section of the Nintendo of Japan website. The site invites the viewers to fill in Mario’s face themselves.
Oooh, exploitable.

In Super Mario Galaxy, whenever Mario drowns in a swamp, his hand reaches out from under the surface before being sucked in. However, since Mario’s head is so big, he cannot raise his hand above the surface without his head being still visible. To solve this, the game simply shrinks Mario’s head so it doesn’t interfere with the animation.
