Continuity mistake: Mario's gloves and hands get skinned up by Sonic's spin attack during the free fall. And when Sonic's severed foot lands in Mario's hands, the damage is visible.

Mario VS Sonic (Nintendo VS Sega) - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: After Mario throws Sonic down, exploding him into a mushroom cloud, Mario shakes his scraped up hands and looks at them. In this shot his hands have some distance between each other. But in the next shot from over his shoulders, suddenly his hands are right next to each other. Also, the damage to his gloves change between shots slightly in some areas. Most notable is his left thumb. In the first shot, there are two separate holes there, one on his thumb and another next to it on his palm. But in the over the shoulder shot, the holes are joined as one big hole. (00:18:00)

Mario VS Sonic (Nintendo VS Sega) - S5-E13

But after Hyper mode wears off and you see Sonic falling through the atmosphere, his shoes are back to how they were before with no buckles on the outside edges.

Mario VS Sonic (Nintendo VS Sega) - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: Mario kicks Sonic away in the lawn chair and the chair lands on the beach open but sideways. The folding back of the chair is extended fully back open while it's in this position. Then when the hordes of cat Marios are mauling Sonic, the camera pulls back to show the lawn chair again with a seagull perched on top of it. Suddenly the back of the chair is partly folded in now, despite it being in the same position. Also the small alcove of trees in the distance is suddenly much further away. And yes, the bird does move the chair later and is seen sitting in it, but at this point it has not, and is just perched on top. (00:15:30 - 00:16:40)

Continuity mistake: As Mario is walking up to his lawn chair on the beach, you get a clear look at the stripe pattern on the cloth.

Nightwing VS Daredevil (DC VS Marvel) - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: Nightwing and Daredevil square off against each other as the word fight appears on screen. In the next shot as they start to run at each other, they are suddenly further away. This is most notable by Daredevil as in the previous shot he was standing almost right on a line in the floor that was leading to some car part boxes. But in the shot of him running he's suddenly a few feet behind this line and not to it yet. (00:14:45)
