-If Mario activates a tap in the downtown, there will be no way for him to get back to the main area. He can swim back through the tunnel and reach the other side, but the cage will be far too tall to get over. It is possible, though, to use [[Luigi]]'s [[Power Flower]] ability to turn [[Vanish Mario|invisible]] and get back into the main area.
