Candlelight vigil, huh? Nice candle.

In Donkey Kong Country 2, a severe glitch exists in the Castle Crush level where a barrel can cause any of an extremely large variety of glitch effects by being broken against a specific wall in the level.

One of these effects transforms the playable Kongs into a black sword (the sprite used for the Kleever boss, with a completely black palette). The sword, surprisingly, can still be controlled by moving left and right.

However, a Neek rat enemy will fall down from the top of the screen shortly after the transformation. In an unexpected interaction given how the sword visually appears much more dangerous than the rat, the Neek kills the sword instantly upon touching it.

Top: In Super Mario 3D World, rare enemies called Madpoles appear in a few levels. While they are named such because they gain an angry expression when seeing Mario next to them in the water, this creates an unintentional humorous effect when seeing their official artwork.

Madpoles only have two pieces of official artwork: a render from the game's guide (left) and a 2D drawing used as a Miiverse stamp in the Wii U version/sticker in the Switch version (right). In both of them, they have highly calm expressions making the name appear unfitting.

This is due to the fact that their original Japanese name is simply "タマオ" (Tamao), an anagram of "otama", the first part of the Japanese word for "tadpole", "otamajakushi" (also known for being the basis for the Otamatone musical instrument). As such, there is no reference to them being mad, making the artwork appropriate to the Japanese name.

Bottom: the actual mad expression of the Madpole that was used as the basis for the English name, for reference.
