A '''Warp Whistle'''<ref>''Super Mario All-Stars'' Nintendo Player's Guide. [[Media:SMAS Guide 111.jpg|Page 111]].</ref>, also known as a '''Magic Whistle'''<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' English instruction booklet, page 24.</ref><ref>''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet, page 28.</ref> or '''[[wikipedia:Recorder (musical instrument)|Recorder]]'''<ref>''The Legend of Zelda''</ref><ref>''Paper Mario: Color Splash''</ref>, is a rare item. It is originally from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]''; the six notes played upon use are identical, as is the whirlwind it summons that whisks the player to another location.

 

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', using a whistle summons a whirlwind that takes [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to the [[Warp Zone (Super Mario Bros. 3)|Warp Zone]], where the player can skip ahead to the start of a later world. Using the whistle in World 1 will allow Mario to warp to World 2, 3, or 4; using it in Worlds 2 through 6 will allow him to warp to World 5, 6, or 7; and using it in World 7, 8, or 9 will allow him to warp to World 8. Therefore, if a second whistle is used while already in the Warp Zone, the player will be taken to the entrance of World 8.

====World 1-3====

Obtained by holding the down button on the {{button|nes|Pad}} while standing on the white block at the end of the level, so that Mario drops behind the background, and then quickly getting behind the black curtain at the end of the level before the white block's effect wears off. Behind there, Mario/Luigi will enter a secret [[Toad House]], whose single chest contains a whistle.

Obtained by flying to get on top of the ceiling at the end of the first room, where there is a door hidden above the top of the screen. The door leads to a small secret room where a treasure box contains a whistle.

Clearing World 1-Fortress in this way will not open its lock on the map.

====World 2-[[File:FireBro-Map-SMB3.png]]====

[[File:SMB3 World 2-Fire Bro Whistle.png|thumb|right|A whistle in World 2-[[File:FireBro-Map-SMB3.png]]]]

Obtained by defeating the [[Boomerang Bro]] on the map who gives out a [[Hammer]] upon being defeated. The Hammer must be used to break the rock at the top right of the map screen, opening a secret passage behind a palm tree. The passage contains a [[Toad House]] (with a [[Frog Suit]]) as well as a pair of [[Fire Bro]]s. Defeating both Fire Bros. will award the player with a whistle.

====World 5-1 (Japanese version only)====

[[File:WarpWhistle Glitch.png|thumb|left|The chest containing a whistle that appears inside the stack of blocks when the glitch is performed.]]

In the [[Family Computer]] release, a glitch in World 5-1 can cause the treasure chest to appear at the end of the level instead of in its usual location. The glitch is performed by reaching the end of the level, then turning around and flying above the wall of blocks until the player hears the sound of a treasure chest appearing. After this, if the player returns to the [[Goal (Super Mario Bros. 3)|goal]], they will notice glitched graphics (as it is not supposed to be possible to activate a treasure chest and the goal simultaneously). If the player then hits the goal from the far left corner, the treasure chest will teleport to the goal, and picking it up will earn the player either five [[extra life|extra lives]] or a whistle.

The level was shortened by replacing the [[Warp Pipe]] to this area (as well as a [[Buster Beetle]]) with the goal in international [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] releases, as well as ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', thus removing the glitch and no longer allowing the player to obtain this whistle.

In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', this item (now known as the '''Recorder''', its original name from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'') makes a reappearance after 28 years of absence and in time for its 30th anniversary debut. It is hidden in the [[Green Energy Plant]], in a course specially dedicated to ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. It is also given developer's notes in the game's digital manual.
