The more accurately the face is changed to match a picture, the more points the player receives. Mario's face later appears in the Mario Party 2 version of Face Lift (also in Mario Party, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars but with Bowser's face and no other faces), where the player has to alter the face of Mario or other characters in the game. In Tox Box Shuffle, if the player finds Yoshi in the right Tox Box, the Mario head will burst into laughter like how the player succeeds in Boom Box, and will yell if all three chances are lost. When a player clears any minigame round or beats a high score, Mario's face is astonished, then bursts out laughing. If the player gets a Game Over in any minigame, Mario's face will yell and look dazed. If the player makes a mistake, Mario's face frowns, while if the player succeeds, Mario's face beams joyously at the player. When the player opens a treasure chest in Boom Box, the chest makes a sound, astonishing Mario's face on the top screen. Mario's face is also a feature in some of the minigames in Super Mario 64 DS. The player can also erase the face and draw their own creations. In this game, Mario's face is able to turn into an ink outline version of itself, which can be distorted with the stylus or various buttons. In the remake Super Mario 64 DS, the Mario head appears along with a Yoshi head. Additionally, on the Game Over screen, Mario's head will appear dazed and worn out.

As Super Mario 64 was Nintendo's first title for the Nintendo 64, an interactive Mario face served to familiarize the player to the Nintendo 64 Controller without worrying about actual gameplay. Mario's head later appears on the title screen of Super Mario 64, where players can tug and stretch his facial features (his nose, ears, cheeks, chin, and hat) to humorous positions. He narrates players' lessons and actions as they learn to type, while also making random small talk, sometimes invoking jokes and comments about his lack of body. Mario's floating head (animated with VActor technology) later appears in Mario Teaches Typing and its sequel, Mario Teaches Typing 2. Super Show! Mario's head appears during The Mario Rap and as a transition during live-action segments. Mario's floating head first appears in The Super Mario Bros.
