Super Mario Odyssey features floating bodies of water in some locations (shown here in Bowser’s Kingdom). Mario is able to swim up to the edge of the water so that his face is sticking out into the air outside. Normally, whenever Mario’s head touches the water surface, he is able to breathe; due to an oversight, this does not apply to sideways surfaces. Despite Mario’s mouth and nose being out of the water, he continues holding his breath and will eventually drown.

The footage demonstrates this with one of the Spindel enemies inside the pyramid in Shifting Sand Land.
The Japanese manual for Family BASIC, software used to program Famicom games, contains artwork of Mario interacting with Pauline, both using designs based on their original arcade sprites.
