Water works in a pretty simple way. Water flows wherever gravity takes it, and water takes the shape of its container. Or does it? Floating Water is the strange fictional occurrence in which water decides to defy gravity, and sometimes make a plethora of shapes. There can be any number of explanations that can be made by the people using this trope, but it really all boils down to the Rule of Cool. Remember however, it can still be in a glass container of some sort, just expect it to be crystal clear and barely noticeable. Pretty much guaranteed when someone is Making a Splash. Is an excellent source of Parting the Sea. |

8-Bit Theater's take on blitzball is drownball, where players compete to be the first to drown in the arena. Fighter handily wins despite coming in last place, because he actually survives the matches (thanks to his brain not needing that much oxygen in the first place) so he wins by default and upsets the entire sport. | |

Floating bodies of water are sometimes seen in the Kirby games. In particular, Kirby Super Star has a couple of blatant examples. In the first level of the Dynablade sub-game, an optional room has a perfectly rectangular space of water. The water-themed planet in Milky Way Wishes has other oddly-shaped bodies of water, with arbitrarily-placed pockets of air. | |

Exalted: In some areas of the Northern Wyld, where Reality Is Out to Lunch and the element of Air's inherent tendency to be above other things permeates everything, the rivers that run on top of the local Floating Continents don't always cascade off their sides as would be expected but instead continue flowing through the sky. The resulting streams wind high in the air, stretching for considerable distances and often connecting distant flying islands. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The Forgotten Realms setting in had a spell called "Laeral's Aqueous Column," which created a column of water that was 10 feet high per caster level and 10 feet wide. 1st Edition has a lot of Bible-derived cleric spells, including "Part Water" and "Raise/Lower Water". 5th edition's Xanathar's Guide to Everything introduced the "Wall of Water" spell, a 3rd level Evocation reflavored from "Wall of Fire." Druids, Sorcerers, Wizards, magic-focused Rogues and Fighters, and the Triton race can learn this spell. |

Through use of the sponge block, it is possible to produce this effect in Minecraft. To a lesser extent, it can be done with signs and several other similar items. They allow you to pass through, but block the water. |

Blitzball matches in Final Fantasy X take place in floating water spheres. See the picture above. Absolutely no attempt is made to explain how they do it (although it probably involves pyreflies, which are used to explain how the players can spend the entire match of what equates to underwater soccer without needing to come up for air). | |

Super Mario Odyssey has a variant. While not technically floating per se, Bowser's castle does have a swimming pool which is enclosed on only three sides, meaning the water is violating gravity in not dribbling out and into the void. It also plays it straight with floating blocks of water in some subareas. | |

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat had floating bodies of water floating in air that you had to swim through. Later, Super Mario Galaxy 2 re-used the same idea, adding games characteristic gravity tricks. | |

In the Doctor Who episode "Smith and Jones", the gravity-transport beam the Judoon use to transport the hospital from the earth to the moon causes water to condense out of the air around the hospital and fall upward, creating the illusion that it's "raining backward". | |

Super Mario Galaxy has the Loopdeeloop and Loopdeeswoop Galaxies, which are Manta Ray race tracks made of floating water. The latter even has the water go uphill and in a vertical loop! The sequel has some interesting 2D platforming involving water passageways above, below, and next to platforms with gravity pointing any which way. |

One of the outdoor levels in Secret Agent has a block of water just floating in mid-air (that kills you instantly on touch.) There's no explanation for this. Apparently it's a level designer's error. | |

Centaur Man's level in Mega Man 6 has a room where reverse gravity water is moving up and down on the ceiling. To get across without the Jet Adaptor, you have to time your jumps to have the gravity-reducing water increase your jump distance. | |

Goku from Dragon Ball Z exercises himself when he is in a hospital bed by concentrating his will on the water in a glass, moving the water out of the glass while it remains in the same shape as the glass. Naturally, when someone entered the room, he became distracted and the water fell on his head. | |

The Star Trek: Voyager episode "Thirty Days" has a planet made entirely out of water, the reason being that it is held together by a massive force-field generator at its core. Meanwhile, the people living on the planet believe that their gods had given it to them as a gift (note: they live underwater in buildings). | |

In Tales of the Abyss, the capital of Malkuth is called Grand Chokmah, the Floating Capital, because most of it extends out over the surface of the nearby ocean. In addition to being filled with truly awe-inspiring fountains and waterfalls, the bar that you can enter has globes of floating water on display, suspended in midair as decor. Since Malkuth is the country known for its practitioners of fonic artes, it's safe to say A Wizard Did It to show off. | |

In the climatic battle of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore momentarily nabs Voldermort inside a sphere of water and levitates it into the air in a spell reminiscent of the water cage that looked like a sheet of glass he uses for the same purpose in the book Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. | |
