scene from an actual game that was released on the system.
The NES games include Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, Legend of
Zelda, and Kirby's Adventure.
The Super NES selection includes Super Mario World, Legend of
Zelda: A Link to the Past, Kirby Super Star, and F-Zero.

Ocarina of Time, Star Fox 64, and Wave Race 64.
After collecting all 120 stars, the grate outside of the castle will open to reveal a cannon. Grab a wingcap, jump in, and blast Mario onto the roof of the castle. There, Yoshi is walking around. Talk to him, and he will thank you for playing the game, give you 100 lives. Afterward, he jumps off the roof into the distance. The only way to see him again is to start a new game.
