It features dark terrain mirrored on a single screen, which the player cannot travel beyond. Subspace can be accessed only by entering a door from a [[Magical Potion]]. The player character can be in Subspace for a few seconds only, after which they are taken back into the main level. A [[Mushroom]] may appear in Subspace to be collected, depending on where the player character has entered. All items found in any available red [[grass]] are transformed into [[coin]]s when the player plucks them, though for the first two visits only, and any still-standing grass tufts give unripe [[vegetable]]s afterwards. The player can still lose a life by falling into a [[pit]] or drowning in [[quicksand]], but doing so allows another chance for obtaining coins. Depending on the area, players can also collect [[Cherry|cherries]], [[Super Star|Starmen]], and [[POW Block|POW]]s. Cherries and POWs do not vanish upon the player returning to the main level. There are no enemies, but [[Phanto]] can follow the player into Subspace if they were holding the [[key]].

In the game's two [[reissue]]s (''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''), the background is the same, but the level terrain is colored in, rather than black. In ''Super Mario Advance'' only, [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s are hidden in Subspace after [[Wart]] is defeated.

==Subspace Warp==
Within Subspace, a few [[jar]]s contain a '''Subspace Warp'''<ref>{{cite|auhthor=Farkas, Bart G|title=''Super Mario Advance'' Official Pocket Guide|page=105|language=en-us|publisher=Bradygames|date=June 13, 2001|isbn=0-7440-0077-7}}</ref> that can be entered for the player character to [[warp]] to a later world, similarly to a [[Warp Zone]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''

In ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', entering the Subspace Warp shows a black screen with white text. In the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' and ''Super Mario Advance'' versions, there is a fade-out effect followed by a transition screen depicting [[Birdo]].

In ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]'', entering any jar in Subspace sends the player directly to Wart's chamber.
