The platforms at the beginning of the level are below ''y'' = 0, and so they gradually rise upward. Over the course of several days, they are high enough they can be used to reach the elevator past the pole, which previously required one A press to get past. It takes eight days for the platform to reach high enough for a dive recover to land in the elevator shaft, but using [[Vertical Speed Conservation|VSC]] with a lava boost requires only three days. | The platforms at the beginning of the level are below ''y'' = 0, and so they gradually rise upward.

The glitch was discovered by '''[[User:Andru!|Andru!]]''' when he left his Wii powered on overnight while in Bowser in the Fire Sea and noticed that the oscillating platforms had risen above their original positions.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFxJuq3FRgI</ref> | The glitch was discovered by '''[[User:Andru!|Andru!]]''' when he left his Wii powered on overnight while in Bowser in the Fire Sea and noticed that the oscillating platforms had risen above their original positions.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFxJuq3FRgI "Bowser in the Fire Sea in 0x A Presses?

No other console or emulator is known to reproduce this rounding inaccuracy, including the Wii U VC. At the time of its discovery, the bug did not occur on the Dolphin emulator, but has since been corrected.<ref>[https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2018/07/06/dolphin-progress-report-june-2018 Dolphin Progress Report: June 2018]</ref> | No other console or emulator is known to reproduce this rounding inaccuracy, including the Wii U VC.

No other objects are known to have similarly exploitable behavior, though the rounding bug does cause many discrepancies between the original and Wii VC versions of the game, including slightly different surface normals. | No other objects are known to have similarly exploitable behavior, though the rounding bug does cause many discrepancies between the original and Wii VC versions of the game, including slightly different surface normals. | ||
