Astral projection
Astral Projection occurs when Mario is being held by a Chuckya and manages to also grab onto the Chuckya holding him. Every enemy that can grab Mario (king bomb, Chuckya) has two objects associated with it, the object how it looks normally and an anchor object. when Mario isn't being grabbed, the anchor is invisible and only the normal object is visible. but when Mario gets grabbed, the anchor becomes visible, Mario becomes invisible and stands exactly where he was when he was grabbed, and the normal object becomes invisible. the anchor has it's own model which is shown always holding Mario. When Mario gets grabbed in water however, the invisible Mario is still able to swim so if you were to re-grab Chuckya during this time, you get astral projection
