The section in memory that stores Mario's party members and the section that stores Mario's equipped weapons are only separated by 4 empty bytes. By gaining a fifth partner, partner information [[wikipedia:Buffer_overflow|buffer overflows]] into the first slot of the equipped weapons section, which the game reinterprets as an item obtained at a certain point by Mario.
The section in memory that stores Mario's [[party member]]s and the section that stores Mario's equipped weapons are only separated by 4 empty bytes. By gaining a fifth partner, partner information [[wikipedia:Buffer_overflow|buffer overflows]] into the first slot of the equipped weapons section, which the game reinterprets as an item obtained at a certain point by Mario.


For example: if Kamek (<tt>P_KM'''K'''</tt> internally) joins as the fifth partner, "'''K'''" exceeds the 4 byte buffer and overwrites the first equipped weapon slot. This is reinterpreted as ''76'' when converted to a number, meaning the ''76th'' item Mario obtained will replace his Basic Hammer. Any non-weapon equipped in this manner will not have associated attacks, so the game defaults to using a [[Mushroom]], without consuming the item.

'''NOTE''': This buffer overflow is what results in the game crashing or corrupting when gaining more than 4 partners.

*[[World 2-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-3]]: Raises the water level
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', whirlpools appear in almost every underwater area. When [[Mario]] is sucked by one, he is taken to the bottom of the water, where the player can reach other areas. This is because Mario cannot dive underwater on his own. However, Mario cannot resurface by touching a whirlpool.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', the bottomless pits in all [[water]] areas have water currents which attempt to suck [[Mario]] down while he [[swim]]s over them, similar in function to whirlpools in later titles.

[[File:SM64 Screenshot Dire, Dire Docks.png|thumb|The central whirlpool in [[Dire, Dire Docks]]]]
A whirlpool appears in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]], within [[Dire, Dire Docks]]. It appears in the middle of the first area where the [[Chests in the Current]] mission takes place, and if Mario, [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] goes near it, they can be sucked in and defeated upon getting too close.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', whirlpools appear only in [[World 6-5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 6-5]]. If Mario gets trapped in one, the player must repeatedly press {{button|ds|A}} to avoid being sucked down, or else they lose a life. After a while, the whirlpool disappears, and Mario can pass by. However, one whirlpool allows Mario to access the [[level]]'s third [[Star Coin]].

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:SMG Water Cave.png|thumb|left|Whirlpools in the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]]]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', whirlpools appear in the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]] and the [[Bigmouth Galaxy]]. They are thin columns and have a dark blue color. These whirlpools only appear underwater; they create no disturbance on the surface. Rather than pulling in the player, they push Mario or Luigi away.


====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====

Whirlpools reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', acting the same as they did in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' They appear only in [[World 3-2 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-2]].

===''Paper Mario'' series''===
====''Super Paper Mario''====
[[The Tile Pool]] is a location within [[The Bitlands]] of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. After entering a pipe, Mario and co. find themselves in an underwater passage featuring two swirling currents. When touched these whirlpools suck up the playable character, spinning the camera clockwise before ejecting them away and dealing 1 damage.
 
====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
[[File:PMCS VortexIslandIcon.gif|thumb|100px|left]]
[[File:PMCS Vortex Island vortex.png|thumb|right|The whirlpool of [[Vortex Island]].]]
Within the Violet Isles of [[Prism Island]], Mario encounters a massive whirlpool at [[Vortex Island]]. This vortex is the namesake of the island and prevents access to the local [[Mini Paint Star]] until being subdued. Mario must access a special warp pipe and navigate the [[parallel world]] to reach a laundry room [[Washing Machine]], the source of the vortex. Squeezing this [[Battle_Card_(Paper_Mario:_Color_Splash)#Thing_Cards|Thing]] and completing the ensuing battle will cause the whirlpool to dissipate in both worlds, granting passage to [[Lighthouse Island]].
{{br|left}}
====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', the [[Eddy River]] bases its name on the eddies which form whirlpools throughout the river. These whirlpools sometimes shift across the water and cause damage to the [[Oarsman]]'s boat, submerging it before launching it up. There is a massive whirlpool towards the end of the stream which, if entered, deals three hearts of damage to the boat.
[[File:PMTOK Mario meets Water Vellumental.jpg|thumb|left|Waterspouts formed by the [[Water Vellumental]]]]
Additionally, the [[Water Vellumental]] forms large waterspouts from a body of water when faced in [[Water Vellumental Shrine|its shrine]], stranding Mario and [[Olivia]] in an arena before battling them. The Water Vellumental will siphon water from these waterspouts each turn to charge up for its Big, Mega, Giga, and Ultra Wave attacks, as well as summoning smaller waterspouts to wash away panels on each turn. When King Olly takes this form, his waterspouts will circle around the center as the ring puzzle is being solved, locking into position to wash away battle panels once Mario's path is set.
 
===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''===
[[Oho Ocean]] (nevermind this game contains waterspouts, slightly different from whirlpools apparently. Although the Water Vellumental uses "waterspouts" even though they are made of water not air)
