==History==
{{stub|section=y}}
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
Waves are obstacles in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. In the Pirate's Grotto, [[Mario]] needs to be in [[Boat Mode]] to swim around the waves in order to reach the other side. If Mario touches one, it will hinder his path and force him back to the start.

===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Country Returns''====
Waves appear as obstacles in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. They appear in the stage [[Tidal Terror]]. They approach from the background crashing into the stage at regular intervals. If the player is caught in the wave as it crashes, they will instantly lose a life. The player can avoid the waves by hiding behind shelter. The waves will also eliminate any unsheltered enemies and most unsheltered collectibles currently on screen upon crashing.
