==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
Torpedo tubes first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' in only one level, [[Soda Lake]], where they fire Torpedo Teds that are invincible to all available forms of attack, making the level tricky to traverse. The gloves that dispense the Torpedo Teds have four fingers. 

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====

Torpedo tubes also appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', where they sport a different design, being identical to the single-sided [[Bill Blaster]]s. They are most often found in the water, and now can be destroyed by leading a Torpedo Ted right back at them.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Torpedo tubes, as well as the Torpedo Teds, return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They behave and look almost exactly as they do in ''Super Mario World'', with the gloves now having five fingers, and appear in [[Larry's Torpedo Castle]]; they are once again invincible. [[Targeting Ted]]s and red [[Torpedo Base]]s debut in the level [[The Mighty Cannonship]], being both obstacles and weapons that appear in the fight with [[Bowser Jr.#New Super Mario Bros. U|Bowser Jr]]. While [[Torpedo Ted]]s reappear in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', black torpedo tubes do not.

===''Super Princess Peach''===
Torpedo tubes return alongside the Torpedo Teds in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', where they are invincible.

===''Mario Party 10''===
Torpedo tubes reappear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' in the minigame [[Blooper Blastoff]], where they launch Torpedo Teds.
