Swimming optimization: Difference between revisions

=== Ceiling Downwarps ===

While swimming, ceilings naturally downwarp Mario to their height if he tries to enter them (so long as doing so would not put him under the floor), which can be exploited to travel large distances downwards instantly for free. This can allow more of Mario's speed budget to be put into horizontal movement, allowing Mario to cover not only more vertical distance in a given time, but more horizontal distance as well.
