In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and its unlocalized origin ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', waterfalls primarily appear as background scenery. However, they often carry logs that gradually appear at the top before descending down, and these logs can be used as platforms; desert stages have a similar system with certain patches of [[quicksand]] with bones traveling down them. Additionally, [[Trouter]]s often appear jumping from waterfalls. In ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'', waterfalls have a two-frame animation; in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', they have a seven-frame animation (with an eighth frame not appearing due to a programming error); and in all remakes of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', they have an eight-frame animation. | |||

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', waterfalls appear mainly as downward [[current]]s: they can be swam in like normal [[water]], but constantly push down on [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] as they swim, which is signified by a spray effect over their heads. | |||

Waterfalls appear in many Super Mario franchise games either simply as background features (such as in the Hightail Falls Galaxy of Super Mario Galaxy 2) or as interactive objects.
History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]
In Super Mario Bros. 2 and its unlocalized origin Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, waterfalls primarily appear as background scenery. However, they often carry logs that gradually appear at the top before descending down, and these logs can be used as platforms; desert stages have a similar system with certain patches of quicksand with bones traveling down them. Additionally, Trouters often appear jumping from waterfalls. In Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, waterfalls have a two-frame animation; in Super Mario Bros. 2, they have a seven-frame animation (with an eighth frame not appearing due to a programming error); and in all remakes of Super Mario Bros. 2, they have an eight-frame animation.
Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]
In Super Mario Bros. 3, waterfalls appear mainly as downward currents: they can be swam in like normal water, but constantly push down on Mario or Luigi as they swim, which is signified by a spray effect over their heads.
Super Mario 64[edit]
In Super Mario 64, waterfalls appear in a few places, notably outside of Mushroom Castle, in the Cavern of the Metal Cap, and on Tall, Tall Mountain. They once again mainly act as downward currents, though one mission has Mario go through one to a cave on the other side.
Super Mario Sunshine[edit]
In Super Mario Sunshine, a waterfall appears as a central feature of Noki Bay, and the area's first mission involves restoring it after it is plugged by a giant cork. Its water cuts through the layer of pollution on the bay's surface and can push Mario into the old Noki city in the abyss beneath the bay.
Super Mario Galaxy[edit]
In Super Mario Galaxy, waterfalls make an important appearance in the secret mission of the Beach Bowl Galaxy, where Ice Mario must use his freezing touch to Wall Jump up them as though they were solid walls.
Virtual Boy Wario Land[edit]
In Virtual Boy Wario Land, waterfalls can be swam in. However, they are inhabited by tadpole-like enemies that emerge occasionally.
Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the waterfalls from Super Mario Bros. 2 appear with their logs in Mushroom Kingdom II, acting the same as in that game. Additionally, Kongo Jungle has a similar waterfall in its background, though the logs that travel down it are purely for scenery. However, on rare occasions, a Klaptrap travelling over the falls will end up in the Barrel Cannon below. Both courses appear again in later games in the series.
