Super Mario Bros 3: breaking underwater blocks
In Super Mario Bros 3, how can you break an underwater block if you don't have any shell to throw, and you can't swim up from underneath it? I'm thinking of the secret room in world 4-1 with the Big Berthas swimming around. There's a breakable block at floor level but I see no way to break it. You can't use the Tanooki tail to break blocks underwater.
(I'm playing the SNES version from Super Mario All Stars, but I assume the physics are the same as the NES.)
Best Answer
In the NES version of the game you can hit them from the bottom, by swimming up. I don't know if this works on Mario Maker. (And yes, the pysics are the same)
