Poison (obstacle)

Poison water is a swamp-like liquid found in Super Mario Galaxy and New Super Mario Bros. It is harmful to touch and to do so will result in a life lost. It is purple in colour but can be green like on the 8-bit luigi planet in Toy Time Galaxy. If Mario falls in it in Super Mario Galaxy, he will sink with only his hand showing. In New Super Mario Bros., when you fall in, Mario leaps up with the losing-life music going "ahhhhh", like when he falls in lava but not with the flames.
