Current

A current is a flow of water, varying from slow to fast speeds. Currents appear in various Mario games, mainly the platforming titles. Currents, or rather the effects of them, first appear in Super Mario Bros., but they are first visibly shown in Super Mario Bros. 3. While currents cannot hurt Mario or another character, the fast-moving ones can push them toward an obstacle or pitfall or sometimes prevent them from continuing in a certain direction, similar to stronger winds.
