In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, switching from Mario and Luigi to Baby Mario and Baby Luigi on a certain frame after Mario touches spikes will make Mario invulnerable to spikes after switching back (note Mario walking across spikes as though they were regular ground). This allows Mario to cross fields of spikes and activate shortcuts, skipping some segments of the game.

Camera Block pictures from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, extracted from the game’s files. The quality presented here is higher than possible to see in-game due to the images’ vertical resolution being higher than the Nintendo 3DS’s vertical resolution, so that the game has to shrink the files to display them.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, a failsafe exists if one brother somehow enters a new area without the game having registered the brothers being officially separated from the other (either through the use of split-up moves or during specific story segments).

If this happens, the front brother (Mario in the footage) will wait at the entrance to the area and the other brother will join up with him by walking in from off-screen. This can be seen in some specific spots where the rear brother can get stuck on a ledge close to an exit, as shown in the footage.
