Using this glitch, Mario can swim in midair to reach heights that he is unable to under normal circumstances. While the exact cause of the airswim glitch is mostly unknown, it is thought to be caused by a loading error, similar to the (also unexplained) [[fog glitch]]. There is no known setup for the glitch, and instances seem to occur purely by chance. | ||
== Variants == | |||
Across various instances of the glitch, it has been noted that the height of the water during the glitch varies depending on the game version. There are two variants of the airswim glitch: the tall variant and the short variant, each occurring on different versions. | |||
=== Tall airswim === | |||
Tall airswim, or big airswim, occurs on game versions 1.0.0 through 1.1.0. In this variant, the water height extends nearly to the top of the kingdom, allowing Mario to swim freely and reach numerous places that could not normally be reached. | |||
=== Short airswim === | |||
Short airswim occurs on game versions 1.2.0 and onward. This variant only results in a slight increase in water height (only slightly more than the height of Mario), and does not have the same potential uses as the tall variant. | |||
