'''Warp Doors''' (or simply '''doors''')<ref>{{cite|title=''New Super Mario Bros.'' manual|page=20|date=2006|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en}}</ref> are objects appearing in several installments of the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] that take [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], or another character to another part of the level. Most of them are unlocked, while some, known as [[Key Door]]s, require a [[key]] to be opened. Some games feature [[P Warp Door]]s, which are blue doors that only appear while a [[P Switch]] is active.

 

In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' (and to a much lesser extent, ''[[All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.]]''), Warp Doors only appear in [[World 8-4 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 8-4]] and [[World D-4]], after [[Bowser]] ([[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowser]] in the [[Family Computer Disk System]] version of World D-4) is defeated. Both lead to [[Princess Peach]]. Despite ''[[VS. Super Mario Bros.]]'' having the same ending as ''The Lost Levels'' and ''All Night Nippon'', there is no door leading to Peach after Bowser is defeated, much like in the first game. The door does not appear in any of the SNES remakes, instead being replaced with Peach locked inside a cage suspended over a pit of lava.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Warp Doors are the main means of transporting between areas. The game consists of three different types of Warp Doors: red swing-open ones, doorless entryways, and special doors with keyholes that require the player to search for the Key in [[Phanto]]s' lairs to open those doors. They also serve as [[checkpoint]]s as, on dying, the player would resume from the last door they passed through. In both the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' versions, a pair of dark yellow double doors (similar to ''Super Mario World''{{'}}s) replaced doorless entryways while in the overworld areas, and a giant iron bar door with a Bob-omb emblem appears as the cave entrance in [[World 6-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6-3]].{{br|left}}

Doorless entryways are also used in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In both the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' versions, they are replaced with wooden doors. [[P Warp Door|P Warp Doors]] make their first appearance in this game, only being visible and usable when a [[P Switch]] is active. Big Warp Doors also appear in both of [[Bowser]]'s boss arenas, which open after he is defeated, and both lead to Princess Toadstool. Another variant known as [[Magic Door]]s appear in [[World 4-6 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 4-6]]; when entered, Mario can transition between giant and normal-sized versions of the stage.

Wooden Warp Doors, named '''Yellow Doors'''<ref name="SNES Player's Guide">{{cite|title=Nintendo ''Super NES'' Player's Guide|page=12 and 13|date=1992|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en}}</ref>{{ref page|12}} or '''Yellow Exit Doors''',<ref name="SNES Player's Guide"/>{{ref page|13}} are used mainly in [[Ghost House]]s, [[fortress]]es, and [[castle]]s in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]] to transport [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to another room. Big red ones debut in this game, serving as boss rooms' entry points.

Warp Doors appear in some courses in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', using their Ghost House appearance from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They mainly appear in Ghost House courses, where they help the player advance from one room to another. A Warp Door also appears in [[Cutting Edge Spire]] where it takes the player outside the Tower and to the end of the course. The player enters Warp Doors by being on the ground while within their space, rather than through any separate input. The player cannot enter any Warp Door that they exited from. In interior areas of a Ghost House, such doors are red instead of green.

 

In the courses [[Ghost Door Deception]], there are multiple fake doors and a real door in each room. The player can tell which door is fake by the fact that it shakes periodically. In [[Boohind Lock and Key]], there is one Key Door in every room. Since the courses [[Fishing Boo Taunts You]] and [[Dark and Stormy]] take place entirely in the exterior of a Ghost House, they start at a cosmetic Warp Door.

 

In Remix 10, Warp Doors serve as the goal of courses in Ghost House interiors as well as in Cutting Edge Spire. This also means the Warp Door takes on some of the properties of the [[Goal Pole]], in that entering one collects all gravity affected coins and converts [[Super Mushroom]]s and [[Super Star]]s that are not inside [[bubble]]s into five coins.
