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.

*[[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.

[[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 ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', whirlpools appear in the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]], [[Deep Dark 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. The Cyclone Stone in [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]] also features a whirlpool column, though this one is formed by a swirling stream of water caught between two [[black hole]]s Additionally, [[Warp Pipe]]s found underwater such as in [[Buoy Base Galaxy]] will have whirlpool suction, which pull Mario or Luigi to their openings.

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', [[Mushroom Bridge]] rests on an island over an ocean, with various whirlpools swirling both below the bridge and away from the island. These whirlpools have stars incorporated in the design and are much larger than the racer's karts and even the boats docked in the area. These features are also present on the course in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', albeit without the star details. These whirlpools are absent from the course's appearance in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]''.

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.

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.

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)

List of Paper Mario: The Origami King Glitches

Fishing storage

Used in case of images missing from a section gallery, table, bestiary box, or certain infoboxes. 
File:PMTOK Fishing Storage Glitch.png

Fishing storage allows the player to hold the fishing rod outside of the restriction of the docks. Due to how loading zones work, this glitch is limited to: Overlook Mountain, Shogun Studios, and Full Moon Island, as those areas have fishing spots. Despite this limitation, this glitch is very potent due to the fishing rod having collision while held by Mario, the ability to quit fishing while catching something, and the ability to return to the dock by pressing B Button at any time, regardless of what actions are taking place.

Methods

There are multiple methods of initiating fishing storage, all of which involve teetering at a ledge and performing one of the following actions at the same time:

Up Button Digging with Professor Toad (see Partner duplication)

L Button Reading the Sea Chart

Y Button Opening the Item Menu

X Button Talking with Olivia

Weapon slot manipulation

Used in case of images missing from a section gallery, table, bestiary box, or certain infoboxes.

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 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 (P_KMK 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.

Wrong turn number

Used in case of images missing from a section gallery, table, bestiary box, or certain infoboxes.

When fighting a particular Goomba near the Sensor Lab in Picnic Road, if the player uses less than the given amount of ring moves and lets the timer run out while preparing the last move, this action carries over to Mario's next turn. Pressing B Button will undo this action, giving one extra ring movement for that turn than intended. It is also possible for this action to solve the puzzle, however the game and Olivia will not recognize this until the player makes a move, and paying the audience will unsolve the puzzle.

When trying to flee from the Li'l Cutout Soldier battle on the stairs of Bowser's Castle mess hall, the game can give the player 1 less puzzle turn than intended. By paying the audience, Mario is left with an unfinished board and 0x moves. Finishing the layout will briefly show -1x moves.
