I describe it a bit in the [[User:Nintendo101/flowerpot|draft I quickly whipped together]]. Basically, it is an underwater pipe that expels currents of water that push the player. Currently, searching [[Jet Pipe]] redirects to [[Warp Pipe]], where it is wholly undescribed, and much of the material in this [[current]] article is describing this pipe. WHy not just rename the article? Well, there are instances where currents appear independently of the Jet Pipes, namely in some of the 3D platformers, and in some of the 2D platformers where they ''pull'' the player character down into the abyss (the currents from Jet Pipes, by comparison, always push). | ||
For abiotic objects like pipes, etc., I think we generally have done more lumping with subjects that the games themselves and their accompanying paratext recognize as distinct, than we have for living subjects like enemies or characters. I would generally like to reduce the degree to which we have done this, especially for ones that have been in the franchise for decades. | For abiotic objects like pipes, etc., I think we generally have done more lumping with subjects that the games themselves and their accompanying paratext recognize as distinct, than we have for living subjects like enemies or characters.

#{{User|Hewer}} Different subjects that could use different articles. I do think the Current page post-split should still make a note of the fact they come out of Jet Pipes, but otherwise, per proposal. | #{{User|Hewer}} Different subjects that could use different articles.

{{@|LinkTheLefty}}, are you familiar with older literature that provide a discrete name for this object? Such as a guidebook for GBA remake of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''? The first guidebook made for the NES SMB3 simply notes that "strong currents come out of these pipes." - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 17:38, October 15, 2024 (EDT) | {{@|LinkTheLefty}}, are you familiar with older literature that provide a discrete name for this object?
