I posted my post the first day I was a new member, so I am confused as well as to how it's restricted, but this Forum does get a bit confusing.
My thought process for swimming vs dying in 3-1 in water is there's no way out of the water. Swimming levels have pipes that connect you to land, but pits are usually death traps because of the fall/ no way back up. I just assumed this was the problem. They don't account for Mario falling to his death in a pit and just assumes it takes his life once he off screens, so there's comparable context for dying once you fall off the screen in water.
The Piranha plant situation is rough. I don't know lore enough to explain. Maybe they can't expand enough in the tunnel to fully envelop Mario, so they can only try while out of the enclosed space? It shows they can expand much bigger than they actually are, and they're shy up close, so they probably have the capability to shrink enough when in close proximity to Mario when he's using the pipe.
Sorry I didn't see this sooner, I subscribed to this thread with emails and never got one, but got one today for another post.
