Editing Midway Gate

[[File:MidwayGate.png|thumb|A Midway Gate, from ''Super Mario World'', and how it looks when the bar is cut]]
'''Midway Gates'''<ref>''Super Mario World'' English instruction booklet, page 8.</ref><ref>Super NES Nintendo Player's Guide, pages 14 and 15.</ref> are [[checkpoint]]s near the middle of most [[level]]s in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', excluding auto-scrolling levels, underwater levels (in the original version), [[Star World]] levels, and [[Special Zone]] levels. They appear as two blue-and-white-striped posts, linked by a white bar, thus looking like smaller versions of the [[Giant Gate]]s in the same game. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] passes through, the bar disappears, which respawns him at the Midway Gate if the player loses a life in the level. If Mario or Luigi cuts the bar when in his [[Small Mario|small form]], he turns into [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] or Super Luigi, respectively. When the player restarts at the Midway Gate, the bar will be missing.

In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and [[Super Mario Maker 2|its sequel]], [[Checkpoint Flag]]s replace the Midway Gates in the ''Super Mario World'' style.
