Why can Instant Fusion Summon Elemental HERO Mariner even though it says it must be Fusion Summoned?!
Instant Fusion Special Summons Mariner from the Extra Deck.
Instant Fusion states that the Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon, so it satisfies the 'must be Fusion Summoned' condition.

●If you have a face-down Field Spell Card, but no face-down cards in your Spell & Trap Card Zones, you can't attack directly with “Elemental Hero Mariner’s” effect.
●If you control “Relinquished” equipped with a face-down Monster Card, that card is face-down in your Spell & Trap Card Zone, so “Elemental Hero Mariner” can attack directly.
●If your only face-down card is “Rush Recklessly”, you can attack directly, and then during the DAMAGE STEP, activate “Rush Recklessly” and the direct attack will continue. This is because Replays don't usually occur during the Damage Step.
●If your opponent controls a monster equipped with “Ring of Magnetism”, then “Elemental Hero Mariner” can't attack directly.
