In the 3D games from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' through ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the swimming mechanics are different. Mario is aimed in any direction by using the Control Stick, with the jump button propelling Mario forward in that direction. He does not naturally sink in the water when not actively swimming. Additionally, an air meter is added, which causes Mario to take damage and eventually drown if he is underwater for too long without collecting [[ | In the 3D games from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' through ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the swimming mechanics are different.

Additionally, an air meter is added, which causes Mario to take damage and eventually drown if he is underwater for too long without collecting [[coins]] or an [[bubble|air bubble]]. In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its sequel, Mario is able to use the [[Spin|Star-Spin]] to propel through the water faster than normal swimming. When the player plays as [[Luigi]], he loses air with every Star-Spin. Both brothers can also quickly dive directly downwards while underwater when the player uses {{button|wii|z}}. [[Yoshi]] can also swim on the water's surface in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', but is unable to dive. | ||
Starting in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', the swimming mechanics are changed to imitate the mechanics of the 2D games. Mario gains the ability to [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] underwater, replacing the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games' diving move. ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' maintains the rising-and-sinking swimming, but it includes the air meter. Mario can also use the new [[Quick Swim]] move with {{button|switch|ZL}} and {{button|switch|Y}}, which propels him forward similarly to the Star-Spin in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. | Starting in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', the swimming mechanics are changed to imitate the mechanics of the 2D games.
