'''Water''' is a common, mostly harmless liquid that frequently serves as an obstacle and level theme in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. When entered, water can typically be navigated by [[Swim|swimming]] through it. It often appears colored light blue, dark blue or clear, and is seen many times throughout [[Mario]] and friends' adventures in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. | |||
Water can contain a variety of enemies, some of the common ones being [[Cheep Cheep]]s, [[Blooper]]s, [[Urchin]]s, and [[Cheep Chomp]]s. | |||

Water debuts in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', first appearing in [[World 2-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-2]]. Enemies such as [[Blooper|Bloobers]] and [[Cheep Cheep]]s are commonly found in the game's underwater levels. A smaller body of water that does not take up an entire section of the level also appears in [[World 3-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-1]]. This type of water cannot be swum in, and instead serves as a type of bottomless [[pit]], causing the player to lose a life if Mario or [[Luigi]] falls in. | |||
Small, non-interactable bodies of water reappear in numerous levels in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' starting in [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 1-2]], though in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version, this type of water first appears in [[World 2-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 2-1]] instead. Water that can be swum in and that takes up entire sections of levels also reappears starting in [[World 3-2 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 3-2]]. | |||
In the original [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] versions of these games, water uses the same graphics as [[lava]], but colored blue instead of red. Small bodies of water are functionally identical to lava as well, since Mario and Luigi can fall through them and lose a life. | |||

Water appears in many levels throughout ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', first seen in [[World 1-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-5]].

In some cases, water contains enemies such as [[Boss Bass]], [[Lava Lotus]], and [[Jelectro]]s. | ||

When Mario becomes [[Metal Mario]], he is able to walk under the water as he would on dry land. In lieu of an air meter, water slowly drains Mario's [[Health Meter]] if he is below its surface, and restores Mario's Health Meter if he is at the surface. | ||

Water is a central game mechanic, as well as an obstacle and world element in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Mario can spray water using [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]], which is necessary to interact with many objects and enemies in the game, most notably to clean up [[goop]]. Splashes of water like those produced by FLUDD can also be produced by breaking [[Water Barrel]]s, dripping off Mario for a short time after he exits a body of water, and by [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s briefly before disappearing if they run out of [[juice]] | Water is a central game mechanic, as well as an obstacle and world element in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.

These splashes of water annoy [[Pianta]]s and most other friendly characters if they come into contact with them, causing them to become angry at Mario. | ||
FLUDD has a limited water tank, which can be refilled in bodies of water or by picking up [[Water Bottle]]s and coming into contact with water fountains found in some areas. Bodies of water appear in almost every level, particularly in the ocean around the edges of [[Isle Delfino]]. Water now drains Mario's air meter when he is below the surface in place of his Health Meter, and his air meter is restored if he is above the water's surface.

Similarly, a substance known as [[Goop#Hot water|hot water]] appears during the game's final boss battle against [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]], which causes Mario to recoil and take damage on contact. Despite its name, hot water does not resemble either real-world water or the game's ordinary water and appears to be a type of green slime. | ||

Bodies of water appear in many levels in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', starting in [[Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy]]. Yoshi automatically rises to the surface and can therefore can only swim near the surface of water in this game, although he may dive slightly deeper by jumping into water from a high place, which can be used to get under certain barriers. Deeper water can only be traversed as [[Submarine Yoshi]]. | |||

[[ | [[Yoshi’s Egg|Egg]]s can be skipped along the surface of water, including after ricocheting off of walls, which is necessary to collect certain items as well as to damage [[Naval Piranha]]. | ||
Various enemies are found on the surface of water, such as [[Spray Fish]] and [[Nep-Enut]]s, and in deep water, such as [[Loch Nestor]]s and [[Preying Mantas]]. Cheep Cheeps appear both on the surface of water and underwater, known in English as Flopsy Fish when on the water's surface and Piscatory Petes when underwater. | Various enemies are found on the surface of water, such as [[Spray Fish]] and [[Nep-Enut]]s, and in deep water, such as [[Loch Nestor]]s and [[Preying Mantas]].
