However, on game versions 1.1.0 and earlier, the game fails to clear this flag if the seed is retrieved from the water while it is also in its grounded state. This means that allowing the seed to sink to the bottom of a body of water allows this flag to be "smuggled" out of the water. Once smuggled, this flag will persist until reloading the stage even if the seed despawns, unless the seed is later retrieved from water while not grounded. This setup is used to allow bouncing on the large seed in midair. | However, on game versions 1.1.0 and earlier, the game fails to clear this flag if the seed is retrieved from the water while it is also in its grounded state.

== Explanation == | |||
To perform the glitch, the player must first locate one of the [[Large seed|large seeds]] that are used to plant beanstalks (the exploit does not work with regular [[Seed|seeds]]). The seed must then be made "wet" by placing it in a body of water and allowing it to sink to the bottom. Once Mario retrieves the seed, it will have different properties. (If the seed is placed back into water and retrieved before it sinks to the bottom, it will no longer be "wet"). | |||
If the seed respawns, it will retain its state, meaning that Mario can dunk the seed in water and wait for it to respawn rather than picking it up from the bottom of the body of water. | |||
Once the seed has been made "wet", it gains a property that allows Mario to catch it in midair. This can be exploited to gain infinite height by repeatedly throwing the seed, diving forward and catching it again. The optimal rhythm for this trick is a triplet rhythm with roughly even spacing: throw, dive, catch, repeat. The catch can be performed either by pressing X or Y in time with the rhythm, or simply holding X or Y from the previous dive input (this is simply a matter of preference). For optimal consistency, the player should not touch the left joystick at all while performing this trick. | |||
