Worm hole
- Not to be confused with Wormhole.
In physics, a worm hole or time slip is a hypothetical feature of space-time that is basically a shortcut across it (although a time slip is just a shortcut through time that may take one backwards or forwards). Worm holes are a feature of both the Super Mario franchise and the real world. In the real world, they look almost exactly like black holes.
History[edit]
Club Nintendo[edit]
In the German Club Nintendo comic "Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit" Mario is transported through space and time to places such as Hösndösn with the use of a time slip. A worm hole is also used in the N-Gang comic "Freeze Frame" where Big B. is transported through a worm hole to the icy landscape that features the ice castle.
DK: Jungle Climber[edit]
Worm holes appear in DK: Jungle Climber, where they are used to transport Donkey Kong to different worlds. There is even a world called Wormhole.
Super Paper Mario[edit]
In Super Paper Mario, worm holes called Squarp holes appear in Outer Space. Squarp holes teleport a player from one part of a level to another, similar to Warp Pipes.
