Is having a redirect page called "transport tube" really necessary??? --[[User:Bentendo|Bentendo]] 14:54, 30 August 2007 (EDT)

i think not,

{{User:Paper Luigi DS/sig}}
:No, not really...{{User:Xzelion/Signature}}

Its called that in the comics. -- [[User: Sir Grodus|Sir Grodus]]

==Mini Warp Pipes==
Do we really have to have a link to "mini warp pipes"? It just redirects to the same page. {{User:Iceyoshi/sig| In other words, it's useless.}}
:Nope, circular links are indeed useless; good spottting! For future reference, if something's introduced in a game that goes by a different name but is essentially the same, that new name can just be bolded (there's actually a couple examples on this page, now including '''Mini Warp Pipe'''). However, if a seperate article ''does'' exist, just link to it and don't bold. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 02:11, 25 January 2009 (EST)

Uh... Mini Warp Pipes was not introduced in New Super Mario Bros., it was in Super Mario World, but it wasn't possible to enter it, since Mini Mushrooms wasn't introduced yet when Super Mario World released. - Super Bluey

==Mario and Luigi 3==

Didn't they appear in Bowser's inside story? {{User:Mr bones/sig}}

== Capitalization ==

Is Warp Pipe supposed to be capitalized or not? It seems that it varies in the article.

== Split Shrinker Pipe into its own article ==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|passed|10-0}}
The Nintendo Player's Guide for ''Super Mario 64'' consistently refers to the "Warp Pipes" in [[Tiny-Huge Island]] as Shrinker Pipes. I think that this is cause to make it into its own article, as, though it looks the same as a Warp Pipe, it has a completely different effect.

#{{User|Vommack}} Different name, different function. It fits the criteria for a new page.
#{{User|MarioManiac164}} [[Magic Door]]s are different from doors, and these are pretty much the same thing as them in the form as pipes, so this should be split, too.
#{{User|YoshiKong}} Per proposal.
#{{User|MimiTheCopycat}} It is true that the Shrinker Pipes should have its own page. After all, regular pipes don't alter the size of a player.

Technically they aren't JUST shrinking pipes. Some make you bigger as well. Shouldn't we change the name to accomodate BOTH sizes? {{User|Coooool123}}

== Super Smash Bros ==

In the Super Smash Bros section it only mentions the warp pipes that Mario and Luigi enter through and the ones that you can't enter in the Mushroomy Kingdom stage, but the pipes in the Mushroom Kingdom stage from the original Super Smash Bros that warp pipes worked are not mentioned.

== Splitting off Mini Warp Pipes ==

Mini Warp Pipes have appeared in 6 games now (''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''). They have a different appearance (radius half the size of a normal Warp Pipe), a different functionality (something that only Mini Mario can access), and a different, probably official name. They should be split into their own article. [[User:B700465189a9|B700465189a9]] ([[User talk:B700465189a9|talk]]) 16:18, July 20, 2019 (EDT)

== Pipes are not warp pipes etc. ==
Why in the hell does this entry (2006) exist?  Almost every game calls a green pipe a ''pipe''; the only games that use ''warp pipe'' are Mario Parties (2002+) and Super Mario Makers, and the latter only when the pipe leads somewhither.  And can we talk about the Super Mario Bros. name?  I was first confused by SMB as the manual calls the pipes ''flower-pots''!  But Mario Bros. properly calls them ''pipes'', ''water pipes'', or ''waterpipes''.

Likewise Nintendo don't use a D-pad or d-pad but a (huge white plus icon, or maybe white crux quadrata)Control pad, Control Pad (in Game Boy, not GameBoy, material), or +Control Pad (in newer material), besides arrow buttons.  A D-pad sounds like a bunch of D buttons, like D1, D2, etc.  You could call the + pad the arrow pad. [[User:Lysdexia|Lysdexia]] ([[User talk:Lysdexia|talk]]) 14:55, June 28, 2021 (EDT)
:Well, this is something I've been meaning to bring up: Warp Pipes are sometimes called pipes, but regular, non-transporting pipes are never called Warp Pipes, if I'm not mistaken. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 19:09, October 18, 2021 (EDT)
:Additionally, ''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.'' only attributes the name 「ワープ土管」 (Warp Pipe) to the ones in the Warp Zone, and uses 「土管」 (pipe) to refer to both decorative and traveling ones. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 13:53, December 14, 2021 (EST)
::If this is about splitting warp pipe from pipe then I'm going to have to oppose. Not only are they visually identical, share a name most of the time, and have only one functional difference(warping vs. not warping), someone searching for a pipe article is most likely just going to search one of the 2 terms and expect to find any pipe, not specifically the warping/non-warping ones. [[User:Somethingone|Somethingone]] ([[User talk:Somethingone|talk]]) 20:42, March 9, 2022 (EST)
:::The takeaway is that the wiki currently defines "Warp Pipe" incorrectly: all warp pipes are pipes, but not all pipes are warp pipes. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 06:09, March 10, 2022 (EST)

== Super Mario Run ==

Where is [[Super Mario Run]] information on the Warp Pipe? There is many a time a Mario Run player will see a green tube, even if it can't get you anywhere. You can place them in Kingdom Builder, there are many different types and colors of them for Kingdom Builder, certain ones will grant you acess to special courses. You touch them to acess the different modes aside from Kingdom Builder, they appear in many levels, they are one of the few elements to be featured in the how to play course. They are even featured in the Super Mario Run category. All this and no Mario Run info in the Warp Pipe article? How does that make any sense? [[User:Broque|Broque]] 18:43, July 22, 2021 (EDT)

:If you have the information about Warp Pipes in ''Super Mario Run'', you're more than welcome to add it to its own section on the article by yourself. That's why this is a wiki, after all.

== Merge [[blue pipe]] and [[yellow pipe]] here ==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|passed|10-0|merge}}
The blue "pipe" item is apparently the only pipe in ''Mario Pinball Land'', and blue pipes in the early ''Paper Mario'' games are just color variants used to distinguish the sewer shortcut pipes from the other pipes in the game. Plus, there are blue pipes in other games like ''Partners in Time'' that aren't split.

The same goes for the yellow pipes in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''. The color is specifically used for pipes that lead to the [[Oho Ocean Seabed]] or [[Teehee Valley]]'s underground. They have that mechanic where you have to hold up, B, and A to climb out of them, but that's it. It's just color coding to distinguish them from the "green pipes" which are used as shortcuts for fast travel between locations, much like the blue pipes in ''Paper Mario''.

== Rename to "Pipe" ==
Shouldn't this page be renamed? "Warp Pipe" isn't used nearly as often, and most major in-game appearances that actually bother to name then simply call them "pipes". Off the top of my head, both ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'' and the ''Super Mario Maker'' games simply refer to them as pipes. Furthermore, not all pipes actually let you travel to other locations, so the name isn't really fitting.
