Remember, the basis of all morality is disgust. If something makes you feel icky it is ontologically evil.
In 2021, internal localization documents for the Korean version of New Super Mario Bros. were leaked online. This is an image from one of the documents.
Bizarrely, the image is hidden within the document, being completely overlaid by an image of a Blockhopper enemy, and was likely never even seen by the localization team for whom the document was intended. The image was only found by dataminers after decompiling the document and extracting its component files. It appears that the Nintendo of Japan employee who composed the document changed it midway through and simply overlaid the image with another one instead of deleting it.
The image depicts Mario under the effect of a Super Star, next to an entity not found in the finished version's gameplay, but still existing in its files: an invisible fireball. The invisible fireball was a trap that would appear invisible until the moment it touched Mario (which is why Mario has a Super Star here, so that he is not hurt while showing off the fireball in a visible state). The only indication of the fireball's presence would be Phantom Hand objects (which appear in the finished version's Level 7-Ghost House, pointing at invisible blocks) pointing at the fireball. Footage of it in action can be seen in a previous post I made about it here.
This image is notable as perhaps one with the most layers of obscurity out of all Mario media. It is a screenshot of an unused object, found in a leaked internal document, hidden from even the document's intended recipients.
