If a pawn is promoted to a knight, checking the king and another man is uncovered this could be but both are not discovered.

I suspect Kxa8# is quite rare. The above diagram is also impossible, but I'm too lazy to make one that's possible.

How about Kxa8#... I don't think there will be many possible scenarios.
Or maybe Bc6xd5#, which would require three bishops, all of the same colour!
Why would Bc6xd5 need three same colour bishops? Would bishops on just c6 and c4 not suffice?

I've played 0-0-0# in a match game (unrated, unfortunately).
You don't see THAT every day.
I think that Bf3g2# is pretty rare, although it's likely more common than other triple bishop mates (as there is no piece/pawn being taken)
nh1# never seen it, never played it
