In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Golden Mushrooms (which fully restore HP and BP for Mario or Luigi) are highly limited items, with only five of them being normally obtainable during a playthrough. However, there is an exploit which allows an unlimited amount of them to be obtained.

During the final battles against Fawful or Popple, performing an advanced Swing Bros. attack on them results in stealing a Golden Mushroom from them. As this can only be done once per battle, this normally results in obtaining only one Golden Mushroom.

However, if the player then lets Fawful/Popple defeat Mario and Luigi, and then restarts the game from Beanbean Castle, the stolen Golden Mushroom will remain in the inventory, but the battle will not be marked as completed. As such, upon battling them again, another Golden Mushroom can be stolen. This can then be repeated arbitrarily many times.

In 2003, Nintendo of Europe's official site for Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga offered a Macromedia Flash program for the game to download. The program simply contained a variety of low-resolution videos explaining various moves from the game, within an original frame graphic depicting Cackletta and Lady Lima. Above is a screenshot of the program.
