{{quote|Ah, a pipe. Definitely a pipe. And that means we're going in, right?|Kersti|Paper Mario: Sticker Star}}
A '''Warp Pipe''' (or '''warp pipe'''), also known as simply a '''Pipe''' (or '''pipe'''), is a common mode of transportation in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. Generally speaking, a Warp Pipe is a pipe that does not always appear to be connected to a second pipe physically, although traveling through it transports the traveler to the other end. In many cases, Warp Pipes can be used to cross great distances (and even [[world]]s) instantly, while some pipes cannot even transport anything. The size of Warp Pipes can vary greatly. While some are too narrow for a human to enter, others are large enough for a [[kart]] or [[Bowser's Airship]] to travel through. They are typically green, but they have appeared in many other colors less frequently.
==History==
===''Mario Bros.''===
Warp Pipes first appear in the arcade game ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros]].'' Enemies emerge from these pipes and attack [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. While Mario and Luigi cannot use these pipes themselves, they can hide from enemies by standing behind the bottom ones; however, this does not protect them from [[Fireball (obstacle)|fireballs]] or [[icicle]]s.

===''Super Mario'' series===
[[File:SMAS SMB3 World 7-6 Screenshot.png|thumb|left|Mario near pipes in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'']]
[[File:LINE Sticker Mario in a Pipe.gif|thumb|100px|[[LINE]] sticker of Mario entering a Warp Pipe]]
Warp Pipes have appeared in nearly every [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' game]] since, and some of them can be entered by pressing {{button|Paddown}}, or {{button|Padup}} and a jump button (for upside-down pipes); some Warp Pipes are found protruding from walls, and can be entered simply by having Mario walk into them, or swim if underwater. However, in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', they are temporarily replaced with [[jar]]s. These pipes are first used for transportation in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Some even lead to underground levels and bonus rooms. [[Piranha Plant]]s can also be found in many pipes and are potentially hazardous.

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', some Warp Pipes act as [[Pipe Cannon|mini-cannons]], shooting Mario or Luigi high into the air. This feature is retained in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Also, if Mario or Luigi uses the [[Mega Mushroom]], they can kick a pipe, breaking it off if it is vertical (or pushing it in if it is horizontal), or [[Ground Pound]] it to make a vertical pipe lower to ground level. However, if Mega Mario or Luigi destroys a pipe, they cannot go down it anymore, though it fills up the meter at the top of the screen by a significant amount, resulting in some [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. [[Small pipe]]s are introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': they are half the size of a regular Warp Pipe. They could not be entered until ''New Super Mario Bros.'', though, as they require Mario or Luigi to use a [[Mini Mushroom]] to get [[Mini Mario (form)|tiny]] so they can enter. Inside these small pipes, [[Star Coin]]s can usually be found. Warp Pipes often come in many different colors, namely green, red, yellow, and blue. In the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, red pipes usually lead to [[Goal Pole (secret)|secret exits]].

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[File:SM64 Sky Pipe.png|thumb|A Warp Pipe in Bowser in the Sky, in ''Super Mario 64'']]
Warp Pipes appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]], though their role is considerably reduced in comparison to the earlier 2D platformers. [[Mario]] (and, in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', [[Luigi]] and [[Wario]]) arrives at the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] via Warp Pipe at the beginning of the game. Warp Pipes are also used to transport the player to the arena where [[Bowser]] is fought in [[Bowser in the Dark World]] and [[Bowser in the Sky]], with [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]] instead using a funnel-looking warp with the same effect. Identical looking objects called [[Shrinker Pipe]]s appear on [[Tiny-Huge Island]].

====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
[[File:Sirena Beach Early Entrance.png|thumb|left|The Warp Pipe entrance to [[Sirena Beach]] in a [[List of Super Mario Sunshine pre-release and unused content|pre-release]] version of ''Super Mario Sunshine''. It is red in the final version.]] 
Warp Pipes later appear more abundantly in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They are found in two colors: green and red. The green Warp Pipes are typically longer, and more common, while the red ones are typically shorter and rarer. Green Warp Pipes are typically found in [[Delfino Plaza]], where they lead to many secret areas, including the [[Red Coin Field]] and the [[Super Slide]]. One green Warp Pipe is found on a small island, and is covered with an [[Goop#Orange Juice Generator|Orange Juice Generator]], which, after using [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] to remove it, will take the player to the [[Lily Pad Ride]]. Another green Warp Pipe is found in [[The Secret of Casino Delfino|Episode 4]] of [[Sirena Beach]] behind a flipping tile wall.

Red Warp Pipes are found solely in Delfino Plaza, and are only used to transport Mario to Sirena Beach and [[Pianta Village]], in place of the [[Goop#Rainbow M|Rainbow M]]s for [[Bianco Hills]], [[Ricco Harbor]], and [[Gelato Beach]]. The Warp Pipe for Sirena Beach is located on the rooftop of a building directly behind the [[Grand Pianta Statue]], and is originally blocked by a large [[Pineapple]], which Yoshi must eat for the player to continue. The Warp Pipe for [[Pianta Village]] is located on top of the [[Shine Gate]]; it can be accessed via the [[F.L.U.D.D.|Rocket Nozzle]].

Green Warp Pipes have black interiors while red Warp Pipes have multicolored interiors.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:NSMBDS Warp Pipe Artwork.png|thumb|100px|Artwork of a Warp Pipe from ''New Super Mario Bros.'']]
[[File:NSMB Warp Pipe Map.png|left|thumb|150px|A Warp Pipe in [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]]]]
Warp Pipes appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', acting the same way they do in all games. They can be green, red, or yellow, and be destroyed by [[Mega Mario]].

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
Warp Pipes appear in almost every galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', where they are often used to transport the player between a planet's outside and inside, as well as to hidden or otherwise inaccessible areas. They only appear in two colors: orange and green. Some Warp Pipes remain stationary both before and after use, while others appear only when [[Mario]] is actually coming out of them before disappearing.

Some Warp Pipes in the game are covered, and they require that either a [[Key]] be collected or every enemy on a planet be defeated in order to gain access to them.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:NSMBW Colored Warp Pipes Artwork.png|thumb|left|Pipes in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'']]
Warp Pipes return to ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', functioning like they did in previous games. This time, there are four different colors: green, yellow, blue, and red. The colors of the pipes only serve decorative purpose. Some Pipes will spawn [[Goomba]]s or [[Bob-omb]]s. While normally stationary, Pipes occasionally move up and down, and some Pipes hang from ceilings or face horizontally. [[Pipe Cannon]]s also appear.
{{br|left}}

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:SMG2 Supermassive Big Piranha Plant.png|thumb|A [[Big Piranha Plant|Super Piranha Plant]] coming out of a giant pipe in the [[Supermassive Galaxy]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'']]
Warp Pipes in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' serve basically the same purpose as they did in the predecessor. Some Warp Pipes tend to appear far more frequently on the ceiling of the inside sections of many planets and [[Galaxy|galaxies]], mainly in the [[Rightside Down Galaxy]] and the [[Upside Dizzy Galaxy]].

Warp Pipes also appear in [[World 3 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 3]] and [[World 5 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 5]] on the [[Grand World Map]]. When [[Starship Mario]] enters one, it gets transported to another part of the World Map that is otherwise inaccessible.

In the [[Supermassive Galaxy]], several large Warp Pipes appear near the beginning of the level. Though they cannot be entered and therefore do not transport [[Mario]] to any special areas, they do serve a purpose. One of the first two Warp Pipes that are encountered is home to a [[Big Piranha Plant|Super Piranha Plant]], which Mario must be careful to avoid. The third continually rises up and down, and acts as an elevator to the next area of the level. Later in the level, the player will fly through a [[Supermassive Galaxy#Giant Warp Pipe Planet|large Warp Pipe tunnel]] leading to the next area. Two more large Warp Pipes near the end of the level house two more Super Piranha Plants.

In the [[Battle Belt Galaxy]], Warp Pipes play a major role in progressing through the level, as they transport the player to the inside of several planets, where they must defeat every [[List of enemies|enemy]] to continue. The Warp Pipes in this galaxy are all covered, and the player must defeat all enemies on the surface of each planet before the planet's Warp Pipe can be accessed.

A Warp Pipe appears near the left ear of Starship Mario after the player collects a certain amount of Power Stars<!--How many exactly?-->. It leads to a secret area where the player encounters two [[Lumalee]]s who sell [[Chance Cube]]s for [[Coin]]s and [[Star Bit]]s. Additionally, on Starship Mario, if Mario manages to get on top of the chimney near the helm, he goes down it as if it were a Warp Pipe. The chimney leads to the engine room of Starship Mario. Mario also comes out of a Warp Pipe on the way to [[Peach's Castle]] at the very beginning of the game. At this point in the game, several other Warp Pipes are encountered which do not warp the player to anywhere at all, and so act merely as platforms.

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
Warp Pipes appear in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. As in the 2D ''Super Mario'' games, vertical ones can be entered by pressing {{button|3ds|L}} or {{button|3ds|R}} while on one to make Mario (or Luigi) go down it; one sticking out of a wall may simply be walked into to enter. After the player has unlocked [[Special 1]]-[[Special 8|8]], Warp Pipes appear at the beginning of each world and provide access between the normal worlds and the special worlds. When {{world-link|S8|crown|Special 8-Crown}} is unlocked, it replaces the Warp Pipe connecting [[World 8 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 8]] and Special 8, which cannot be used after this point. [[World Warp Pipe]]s appear in two [[Warp Zone]]s in [[World 1-2 (Super Mario 3D Land)|Worlds 1-2]] and [[World 4-2 (Super Mario 3D Land)|4-2]]. These allow the player to warp to the next world and skip the following levels in the world they are in.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Warp Pipes appear in the Nintendo 3DS game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Some of them house [[Piranha Plant]]s, while others allow [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) to warp. If the player destroys a Piranha Plant in a Warp Pipe with a [[Green Shell|Koopa Shell]] affected by a [[Gold Ring]], numerous Coins come out. Mario (or Luigi) can go down pipes by pressing or sliding {{button|3ds|Pad}}/{{button|3ds|Stick}}.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
In the [[Wii U]] game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', Warp Pipes appear and work the same way as in other games, though with a simplistic redesign. [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]] can enter [[small pipe]]s like in previous games. The player can go down or up pipes with {{button|Stick}} or {{button|wii|Pad}}. Some Pipes face diagonally, and cannot be entered.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' marks the debut of transparent [[Clear Pipe]]s and [[Clear Pipe Cannon]]s, which are similar to Warp Pipes, but have two ends that are always visibly connected. Likewise, coins, enemies, and characters can be seen travelling through them by the player. 

While traditional green Warp Pipes return, they are less common as a result of Clear Pipes being introduced. However, golden Warp Pipes appear for the first time, and take characters to golden bonus rooms with many coins when entered. The [[World Warp Pipe]]s from ''Super Mario 3D Land'' also return and, as in that game, only appear in [[Koopa Troopa Cave|World 1-2]] and [[Piranha Creeper Creek|World 4-2]]. 

[[File:SM3DWBF Golden Pipe.png|thumb|left|100px|The Warp Pipe that appears from graffiti]]
A [[8-bit character|Pixel Luigi]] can be seen jumping out of certain Warp Pipes in Koopa Troopa Cave and [[Really Rolling Hills]] when the [[Time Limit]] is at 105.

In the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', [[Bowser Jr.]] can use his [[magic brush]] to paint [[Goop#Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|graffiti]], including one image of a golden Warp Pipe, which causes an actual pipe to appear from the ground. When entered, it takes Mario to a coin-filled bonus room similar to the ones in the main campaign. The pipe can also be destroyed if [[Plessie]] collides with it. If this is done, it will not reappear until the current save file is reloaded.
{{br}}

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
Warp Pipes appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' as objects that can be placed in levels. If an enemy or item is placed inside the Warp Pipe it will start spawning them. They can also be used to expand upon levels; by dragging Mario inside a Warp Pipe, the player is able to create a side area separate from the main level. The Pipe's length and positioning can also be adjusted.

====''Super Mario Run''====
In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', Pipes are key objects in the game, even as part of the game's user interface. Diagonal pipes never appear in this game.

Each of the game's modes is tied to a specific color of pipe: Green for World Tour, Red for Toad Rally, and Yellow for Remix 10. From the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] menu, the player can use any of these pipes to transition to that mode. This is depicted as Mario going down the pipe. This is similarly depicted as the back button from those modes, using a pipe of the same color as the mode, but without Mario depicted as going through.

Pipes appear in multiple courses as platforms to stand on, jump over, walk under, or Wall Jump from. They can be green in most cases, red in desert courses, grey in [[Ghost House]]s. and yellow in [[Cutting-Edge Spire]]. Piranha Plants can come from them, as usual. Pipes can be [[vaulting|vaulted]] over if they are low enough. 

In World Tour, the underground courses of this game, [[Wall-Kicking It Underground]], [[Treasure-Hoarding Swoops]], [[Danger High and Low]], and [[Chase the Snaking Coins]] use pipes in a number of ways aside from platforms. The player enters pipes during the course which happens automatically in this game when the player touches the entrance while grounded. Most of them are one way transitions to the next area, with the screen scrolling to the destination. A [[bubble]] can allow the player to float back through the transition. The last enterable pipe of each course cuts the screen to black to load a new area, then takes the player to an above ground section with the [[Goal Pole]]. A bubble cannot float back to the prior area.

Airship courses outside of [[World Star (Super Mario Run)|World Star]], those being [[Airship Cannons...Fire!]], [[Firing the Airship's Burners]], and [[Throwing It All Overboard]], end on a green Pipe that takes the player to a room inside the ship for the boss battle against [[Boom Boom]]. This also involves a loading screen, and drops the player into the the room from above. As before, bubbles do not float back to the prior area. World Star's two Airship courses are exceptions. [[Airship Plunder]] already is in the interior of an Airship but still ends in a pipe to take the player to a different room for a boss battle. [[Airship Armada]] ends on a normal Goal Pole.

Toad Rally uses pipes as transitions as well. Since it splices together different courses to create an infinitely long course, the enterable pipes of Airship courses do not appear. Enterable pipes in underground courses do appear, with the transition used to switch layouts. No pipe takes the player to an above ground section in this mode. During a [[Coin Rush (Super Mario Run)|Coin Rush]], pipes often spit out coins to collect. The [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s the player gains in this mode go to the Mushroom Kingdom through a red pipe.

Remix 10 connects each Area with pipes. A pipe pops up from the ground when Mario reaches the end of an Area, which is marked with a yellow number for the Area it leads to. Mario enters this pipe, and exits at the start of the next area. Afterward, the pipe sinks back into the ground and vanishes. Randomly, a non standard animation may play instead of the normal one. These can have Mario exit cautiously or enter the pipe upside down, among other results One animation has the pipe reveal itself to be a pipe cannon, as it shoots Mario into the air and over to the next area.

Remix 10 uses pipes to conclude each course. For underground courses, sections that are underground start with the player dropping out of a Warp Pipe. The pipes that were transitions in the other modes serve as the goal of the course in this mode. This also means the pipe 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 bubbles into five coins. Most courses in Remix 10 end in Goal Poles, and they transition into the next course by having the player go through a pipe of the color matching the course's location. Castle courses use grey pipes. [[VS Boom Boom]] starts with the player dropping in from a pipe, as per the boss battles with Boom Boom from other modes. Other pipes still appear, and while the player is [[Invincible Mario|invincible]] those pipes spit out coins in the same way they do during a Coin Rush.

Pipes are also [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|buildings]] that can be purchased from the Shop, then placed as in the Mushroom Kingdom in the Kingdom Builder mode. They can be in all five of the Toad colors in the game: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Purple. They also come in one of three variations. All of them are ranked 2★.
*[Color] Pipe A: A short pipe of that color, which fits in a 1×1 area. Toads sometimes run around it, or talk to each other while standing on top.
*[Color] Pipe B: A tall pipe of that color, which fits in a 1×1 area. Toads sometimes run around it, or one can balance as they walk across the opening.
*[Color] Pipe C: A branching pipe, consisting of a vertical pipe from the ground and a horizontal pipe sticking out to the left. They fit in a 1×2 area. Toads sometimes balance on the vertical pipe's opening, peek out from the horizontal pipe, or nap on the side of the vertical pipe.

The descriptions for [Color] Pipe B indicate that enemies and obstacles could be inside pipes, with Blue Pipe B naming [[Swoop]], Green Pipe B naming Piranha Plant, Red Pipe B naming [[Fire Bar]], Purple Pipe B naming [[Buzzy Beetle]], and Yellow Pipe B naming [[Pokey]].

The [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|Piranha Plant Statue]] has a pipe that the Piranha Plant comes out of.

There are also four special pipes that can be placed in the Kingdom Builder. Each of them has a star design matching the [[color coin]]s of ''Super Mario Run'', and a white base. They take up a 1x1 area. By tapping on these pipes, the player can access a Special Course. The Pink Coin Pipe can only be obtained after collecting every [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Run)|Pink Coin]], and allows the player to play Chase the Snaking Coins. The Purple Coin Pipe can only be obtained after collecting every [[Purple Coin]], and allows the player to play [[Piranha Plant Field]]. The Black Coin Pipe can only be obtained after collecting every [[Black Coin]], and allows the player to play [[Make the Cut!]].  The Gold Star Pipe has a unique star shaped opening, and can only be obtained after collecting every [[Black Coin|★Black Coin]]. It allows the player to play [[Red Block Run]]. As special buildings, only one of each can ever be obtained.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:Warp Pipe SMO.jpg|thumb|Five Warp Pipes in ''Super Mario Odyssey'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', in addition to regular Warp Pipes, a blocky [[8-bit pipe]] also appears, where they can be found connected to walls with animated murals in the design of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' If Mario enters one of these pipes, he will be transported into the mural itself in his ''Super Mario Bros.'' appearance (though while retaining his modern color scheme or his current outfit), where the player controls him in a side-scrolling sequence similar to the original game. The regular pipes have a more metallic design than most games. [[Moon Pipe]]s also debut in this game, being spawned by breaking [[Moon Rock]]s; these pipes always send Mario to new sub-levels. The player can also enter the [[Odyssey]] through the largest exhaust pipe as if it were a Warp Pipe.

Unlike in prior games, Mario will enter Warp Pipes quicker if he [[Ground Pound]]s, [[Roll]]s, [[Dive]]s, or [[Long Jump]]s into one, rather than finishing the move and entering it normally; the sound effect that plays when entering one will also be sped up.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
[[File:SMM2screenshot12.png|left|thumb|200px|A red Warp Pipe in ''Super Mario Maker 2'']]
Warp Pipes reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' as objects that can be placed in levels. In this game, different colors of Warp Pipes appear, including red, yellow, and blue. Each color of Warp Pipe releases its contents at different speeds, with the blue Warp Pipe being the slowest, the green Warp Pipe being the second slowest, the yellow Warp Pipe being the second fastest, and the red Warp Pipe being the fastest. Additionally, Clear Pipes appear in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style.
{{br|left}}

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
[[File:SMBW Living Pipe Alt.png|right|thumb|150px|An Inchworm Pipe in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', in addition to regular Warp Pipes, living pipes that move up and down and like inchworms, the latter of which are named [[Inchworm Pipe]]s, occasionally appear when a [[Wonder Effect]] occurs. There is also a Warp Pipe that can be pushed and occasionally connected to form a whole pipe, and are visually similar to the Warp Pipes in [[Sweet Sweet Canyon]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' because of their teal appearance. Occasionally, Warp Pipes can take the player into the background or foreground of the level.
{{br}}

===''Super Mario'' cartoons===
Warp Pipes appear in all three of the ''Super Mario'' TV shows (''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]''), where they function the same way as in the games the shows were based on. Warp Pipes are also present in the [[Earth|real world]] and can be used to travel between it and the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Throughout the cartoons, Warp Pipes are referred to with different names; in the ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' episode "[[Reign Storm]]," [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] calls one a "'''drain pipe'''," while in the ''Super Mario World'' episode "[[Fire Sale]]," Mario refers to one as a "'''warp tube'''."

===''Nintendo Comics System''===
The ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' story "[[A Mouser in the Houser]]" reveals that humanoid mice constructed the Transport Tube system before their king, [[Mouser]], was corrupted by the Koopa King. They still have extensive maps of it.

===''Super Mario Adventures''===
In ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'', Warp Pipes appear as the mode of transport between the Mushroom Kingdom and the lands surrounding [[Yoshi Village]]. On their first trip through the Warp Pipe that Bowser has traveled through, [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and her followers end up at a different location from where Mario and Luigi emerge. The narration states that Mario and Luigi "hooked up with the wrong connection somewhere," implying that not all Warp Pipes lead solely to one other location.

===''Yoshi'' franchise===
Warp Pipes play a similar role in the ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' franchise, but they can also spawn [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Boo Guy]]s, and similar enemies, usually as a source for [[Yoshi Egg]]s. A Warp Pipe character has appeared in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' named [[Mr. Pipe]]. He helps Yoshi by giving him helpful items if Yoshi repeatedly fails a level.

Warp Pipes appear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]''—however, to fit with the theme of the game, they are made of yarn. Some Warp Pipes are just outlines, and can only be used after a [[yarn ball]] in any color is thrown at them as it creates them. In multiplayer mode, when one Yoshi goes down a Warp Pipe, the other Yoshi is teleported immediately to the Warp Pipe. [[Egg Plant]]s can also appear in Warp Pipes.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
{{rewrite-expand|section=y|A list of course appearances for pipes from each ''Mario Kart'' game}}
[[File:Pipe Plaza.png|thumb|200px|[[Pipe Plaza]] in ''Mario Kart DS'']]
In the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], Warp Pipes (usually referred to as simply "pipes") appear as simple obstacles on the courses, especially on the [[Mario Circuit]]s. They act as walls, in that racers who drive into them slow down significantly or even come to a stop; however, the pipes can be taken out by several means, such as hitting them with a powerful item (e.g. a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]) or driving into them while powered-up by a [[Super Star]], [[Bullet Bill]], or other condition-changing item. [[Piranha Plant]]s can also be in pipes in courses like [[GCN Yoshi Circuit]]. On some occasions, mostly in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', the player can enter a pipe and get warped to another area, which is mainly for the purpose of collecting [[Item Box]]es. This also happens in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', but only in [[Pipe Plaza]], since it is a battle course that originated in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''.
====''Mario Kart Tour''====
In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', cannon-like pipes are used to obtain various random items. The player can pull down and release such a pipe to fire out drivers, karts, gliders, and balloons, as well as inventory items ([[coin]]s, [[Ruby|rubies]], and tickets). Each pipe has a set pool of items it can draw from: generally, green pipes can give out items of all kinds, with gold pipes guaranteeing at least one High-End item of any kind; however, the All-Clear Pipe, unlocked by completing all courses and bonus challenges in a tour, only ever gives out a High-End driver, kart, or glider, and does not feature balloons or inventory items. Pipes appear as rewards from Tour Gifts, multiplayer races, and Premium Challenges, while also being purchasable from the Token Shop using [[event token]]s. Prior to the [[Battle Tour]], the Shop featured pipes that unlocked spotlight items, with 5 rubies needed to fire one such pipe once and 45 to fire the pipe ten times.

Within races, pipes appear as obstacles and ramps. In regular races (i.e. not in bonus challenges), those that act as obstacles grant bonus points when taken out. Pipes can also release various things, such as [[Goomba]]s (as seen in [[3DS Toad Circuit|3DS Toad Circuit R/T]]), [[Item Box]]es (in some [[Break Item Boxes]] bonus challenges), [[Wind|air currents]], or [[Current|underwater currents]]. A course themed around Warp Pipes, [[Piranha Plant Pipeline]], debuted in this game during the aptly named [[Pipe Tour]].

Below is a list of courses in ''Mario Kart Tour'' that feature pipes which can be taken out. (Select "show" to reveal the list.)

===''Donkey Kong'' (Game Boy)===
[[File:1-1 DK GB.png|thumb|160px|Ending of ''Donkey Kong''.]]
A Warp Pipe appears at the end of ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]] after Mario rescues [[Pauline]] in [[Stage 9-9]], though it doesn't serve any gameplay function.

===''Wario Land'' series===
[[File:WL3 WarpPipe2.PNG|thumb|left|Warp Pipe in ''Wario Land 3''.]]
Warp Pipes are also present in four games of the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'' series]], namely ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]'', ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', and ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' They work exactly like their counterparts from the Mushroom Kingdom, with the distinction that they don't contain enemies.

The [[Wario Land 3#Golf Minigame|Golf]] minigame in ''Wario Land 3'' must be accessed through a Warp Pipe. In addition, the slots in the "load file" screen of ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'' bear a resemblance to Warp Pipes. In ''Wario Land 4'', the pipes are purple and warp the player to a [[pink area]]. In ''Wario Land: Shake It!'', if Wario goes into a green pipe, the sound effect is similar to that of the ''Super Mario'' franchise, but slightly deepened.

===''Mario Party'' series===
Warp Pipes are also [[list of items|items]] that appear throughout the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]].
====''Mario Party''====
Warp Pipes appear in the [[Luigi's Engine Room]] board in ''[[Mario Party]]''.  They are located at the ends of different paths on the board, and all connect to a single Warp Pipe at the far right side of the board, leading to [[Boo]], [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]], and the [[Start Space]]. A Warp Pipe is also used to access the main game mode in [[Village Square|Mushroom Village]]; once chosen, [[Toad]] appears to be falling through an endless tunnel until all the game settings have been set.

====''Mario Party 2''====
Warp Pipes appear in the [[Bowser Land]] board in ''[[Mario Party 2]]''. Here, green pipes lie scattered around the edges of the board, and a few red pipes appear side-by-side in the center right of the board. When the player lands on a [[Event Space|Happening Space]] near any of these pipes, the player will be overcome with an urge to jump into the pipe, and will be ejected from one of the green pipes, even if they jumped in a red pipe.

====''Mario Party 3''====
[[File:MP3 Pipesqueak Colored Pipes.png|frame|left|These colored pipes appeared in the ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' board [[Pipesqueak]].]]
Warp Pipes appear in the [[Waluigi's Island]] Battle Royale Map in ''Mario Party 3'', fulfilling a similar role as in ''Mario Party''{{'}}s Luigi's Engine Room. Red pipes are located at the ends of different paths on the board, and when reached, they send the player to a green pipe near the Start Space.

They also appear in the [[Pipesqueak]] Duel Map. Here, hopping into one of the four pipes on the board will cause the player to come out of one of the other three pipes. The colors of the Warp Pipes are orange, yellow, blue and pink.

====''Mario Party 4''====
[[File:Warp Pipe.jpg|thumb|right|The Warp Pipe as it appears as an item in ''Mario Party 4'']]
In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', the Warp Pipe is a usable item used for transportation on boards. Whoever uses it switches places with another player on the board, chosen via roulette. This makes it the successor of the [[Warp Block]], though unlike the Warp Block, the player can time the roulette to switch with a chosen opponent. It costs 10 coins to purchase from an [[Item Shop (Mario Party series)|Item Shop]]. ''Mario Party 4'' also features a variant of Warp Pipe known as a [[tiny pipe]], which serves a board obstacle that players in [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini]] form can bypass.

Warp Pipes appear in the third section of the minigame [[Dungeon Duos]], where players have to jump through them until they find the correct pipe that advances them to the next section. The first room has five pipes to guess from, and the second room has nine pipes.

====''Mario Party 5''====
In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', the Warp Pipe appears in [[Orb|capsule]] form as the '''Warp Pipe Capsule'''. When used for 10 coins, or if the player lands on a space containing it, it takes on the same effect as in ''Mario Party 4'', causing the player to switch places with an opponent decided by roulette.

In the [[minigame]] [[Pop-Star Piranhas]], five Pipes are lined up on stage with Piranha Plants dancing in them.

====''Mario Party 6''====
[[File:Orb WarpPipe - MP6.png|thumb|left|The Warp Pipe Orb as it appears in ''Mario Party 6'']]
The Warp Pipe Capsule returns in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', now known as the '''Warp Pipe Orb'''. It has the same effect as in the previous game, switching the player's place with an opponent decided by roulette, except that it can no longer be thrown onto a space, and no longer costs the player Coins to use on themselves. It can be obtained from [[Orb Space]]s or bought from [[Orb hut]]s, usually for 10 coins.

Warp Pipes also appear in [[Clockwork Castle]]. The top and bottom of the board each have a green pipe, a red pipe, and an inactive pipe. Upon reaching a pipe, players have the option of jumping into it, which will transport them to the other pipe of the same color. Some of the [[Event Space|? Spaces]] on the board will cause the colors of the Warp Pipes to change when landed on. At night, only the green pipes are usable.

In the [[minigame]] [[Lift Leapers]], players enter and exit each section of the course though a Warp Pipe.

In the minigame [[Ball Dozers]], each team's ball enters the top of the arena through a Warp Pipe.

In the minigame [[Mole-it!]], Monty Moles and Piranha Plants pop out of several connected Warp Pipes. The pipes are either blue or red, representing each competing team.

====''Mario Party 7''====
The Warp Pipe Orb returns in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', but with a new effect: it is now a Roadblock Orb that can be thrown onto a space. If one of the player's opponents passes this space, a Warp Pipe appears beneath them, and transports them back to the space they started their turn at, continuing their move from there.

A special type of Warp Pipe, the '''Bowser Pipe''', is sometimes used by [[Koopa Kid]] on the [[Koopa Kid Space]]. It is used to switch the player's place with an opponent chosen by roulette.

Warp Pipes appear in the duel minigame [[Warp Pipe Dreams]], where players have to jump through several of them to find their way to the center pipe.

In the minigame [[Snow Ride]], Warp Pipes appear as obstacles in the center of the snowboard path, causing player to lose momentum if hit.

In the minigame [[Herbicidal Maniac]], players aim at several Warp Pipes to shoot Piranha Plants that pop out.

====''Mario Party 8''====
In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Warp Pipes housing Piranha Plants appear in the [[DK's Treetop Temple]] and [[King Boo's Haunted Hideaway]] boards. When the player lands on a Green Space next to one of these pipes, the Piranha Plant inside will bite the player, taking away 10 Coins.

When [[King Boo]] shuffles the Haunted Hideaway, the players emerge out of a black Warp Pipe at the start of the board.

In the minigame [[Winner or Dinner]], four orange Pipes appear in the corners of an oasis, where Piranha Plants will chuck players out of the oasis if they get too close.

====''Mario Party DS''====
In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', Warp Pipes appear when a player reaches a shop space and decides to go in. A Warp Pipe is also used as an item, but the item is named a [[Star Pipe]] and allows the owner of the item to travel to the Star. This pipe also differentiates from a normal Warp Pipe in that it has a star pattern on the front of it.

====''Mario Party 9''====
Warp Pipes generally appear next to [[Lucky Space|Lucky]] and [[Unlucky Space]]s in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. The pipes next to a Lucky Space take the player to a six-space route with [[Mini Star Space]]s, and Unlucky Space pipes take the player to a path with only [[Mini Ztar Space]]s. Warp Pipes near a Lucky Space are colored blue, and the ones next to Unlucky Spaces are red, which match the colors of their respective spaces. Players willingly go down the Lucky Space pipe, while a Piranha Plant eats the player and takes them to the unlucky route.

A brick Warp Pipe also appears in the [[Urn It]] minigame. For three rounds, a spinning urn comes out of the Warp Pipe. Players have to determine the pattern of the urn from a set of three choices.

====''Mario Party 10''====
In ''Mario Party 10'', Warp Pipes appear in [[amiibo]] Party, where they will warp players that land on a [[Warp Space (Mario Party 10)|Warp Space]] to another Warp Space on the board. They also appear as one of the board-exclusive events of the [[Peach Board]] known as "Plant Pipes".

====''Super Mario Party''====
Warp Pipes appear in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' on the board [[Megafruit Paradise]] as what the player can use to alternate between islands. The Star Pipe, now known as the Golden Pipe, also returns. A cup that resembles a Warp Pipe is seen in the background of [[Sizzling Stakes]]. Additionally, [[Shell Shocked Deluxe]] features Warp Pipes as unbreakable barriers.

====''Mario Party Superstars''====
In ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', Warp Pipes return in Mushroom Village (now called Village Square), where they serve the same role as before. Golden Pipes also reappear.

====''Super Mario Party Jamboree''====
Pipes return in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'' as items; when used, they transport the player to a random space.<ref>Mario Party Legacy (September 9, 2024). [https://youtu.be/Nnv5j5d8_Ho 10 Minutes of Super Mario Party Jamboree - Gameplay Preview]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved September 10, 2024.</ref>

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Warp Pipe}}
[[File:Mariossbb-lets-a-go.jpg|thumb|left|Mario jumping out of a Warp Pipe in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.]]
Warp Pipes have served a multitude of purposes in the [[Super Smash Bros (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].
====''Super Smash Bros.''====
In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', they first appear as [[Mario]]'s and [[Luigi]]'s on-screen appearance in reference to Mario's entrance in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and later on in the stage [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros.)|Mushroom Kingdom]], where players can use two Warp Pipes to warp between one side to another; on occasion, they may also transport to the pit in the center, where a one-way Warp Pipe appears. Also, three Warp Pipes appear in Luigi's [[Board the Platforms]] stage; they have blinking platforms coming in and out of them, which Luigi must land on in order to finish the stage.

====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Warp Pipes act as checkpoints in Stage 1: [[Mushroom Kingdom]] of the Adventure Mode. Additionally, Warp Pipes appear in the background of the stage [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Mushroom Kingdom]] and a single diagonal Warp Pipe, supported by two mini pipes, serves as a slope on the stage [[Yoshi's Island (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Yoshi's Island]].

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', they reappear as Mario and Luigi's on-screen appearance and as platforms in both [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]] and [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]] versions of [[Mushroomy Kingdom]] (though they cannot be entered, unlike in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''; they are realistically designed, like the rest of the stage) and the returning ''Melee'' Stage Yoshi's Island. One also appears in the background on one of the islands in the [[Delfino Plaza]] stage, just as it did in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''; the others were removed. More appear in the background of [[Figure-8 Circuit (stage)|Mario Circuit]]. The [[Mario Bros. (stage)|Mario Bros. stage]] also features the original enemy-spawning pipes, though they only release [[Shellcreeper]]s and [[Sidestepper]]s.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', they once again serve as Mario's and Luigi's on-screen appearance. In the 3DS version, they also act as solitary platforms in the returning World 1-1 version of Mushroomy Kingdom and the new stages [[Golden Plains]] and [[3D Land]]; in the latter stage, some of them may increase and decrease in height, like in ''Super Mario World'', and a big one restarts the stage's loop at the end; this pipe is also seen in the stage's [[Final Destination]] form. The [[Paper Mario (stage)|Paper Mario stage]] has a pipe in its [[Hither Thither Hill]] form, although it acts a [[spring]] instead. In [[PictoChat 2]], Warp Pipes can be drawn onto the stage for a while; these pipes can be used for transport, just like the ones in the original Mushroom Kingdom stage. In the Wii U version, the Warp Pipes of Yoshi's Island (''Melee''), Delfino Plaza, and Mario Circuit (''Brawl'') return, working as they did before. The [[Super Mario Maker (stage)|Super Mario Maker stage]] (available for both versions as DLC) may also feature solitary platform Warp Pipes.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Warp Pipes reappear as Mario and Luigi's on-screen appearance, and [[Piranha Plant]] fights in a Warp Pipe for four out of its eight alternate costumes. Warp Pipes also appear around the world map of [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|Adventure Mode: World of Light]], where they can be used to travel to different areas. Returning stages from previous installments, such as Mushroom Kingdom, Yoshi's Island (''Melee''), Mushroomy Kingdom, Delfino Plaza, Figure-8 Circuit, Mario Bros., Golden Plains, 3D Land, Paper Mario and Super Mario Maker feature Warp Pipes in the same fashion as they did before.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Warp Pipes are used to take Mario to new areas, and are found throughout the game. A Warp Pipe hidden in [[Toad Town]] takes Mario to the [[Playroom]], where he can play two minigames.

Blue Warp Pipes, which act as shortcuts to previous areas, can be found in the [[Toad Town Tunnels]]. The pipes to [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]], [[Koopa Village]], [[Dry Dry Outpost]] are found just to the west of the entrance past a [[Stone Block]] and are guarded by a [[Blooper]]. The pipe to [[Boo's Mansion]] is found in the west of the second sublevel, and Mario must fight three battles with [[Dark Koopa]]s to make the pipe appear. The pipe to [[Lavalava Island]] is found by using [[Sushie]] to cross the water on the second sublevel and defeating a Blooper.
{{br}}

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[File:Blue Pipe.png|frame]]
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Switch remake]], Warp Pipes have the same purpose as in ''Paper Mario''. When using them, a transition effect is added, depicting the screen crinkling and straightening out at the new location. The Warp Pipes in [[Boggly Woods]] seem to be made of wood, and usually have a hole in the side so that [[Puni]]es can use them more easily.

There are also blue shortcut pipes in [[Rogueport Underground]] second sublevel, which to serve as shortcuts to [[Petalburg]], [[The Great Tree]], [[Keelhaul Key]], [[Poshley Heights]], with the remake adding [[Glitzville]], [[Twilight Town]], and [[Fahr Outpost]], while a pipe leading from this room to [[Rogueport]] was also added. In the original game, the first two require the Super Hammer, and the last two require the [[Ultra Hammer]]. In the remake, completing each chapter and taking that chapter's [[Crystal Stars|Crystal Star]] to [[The Thousand-Year Door]] allows the [[Magical Map]] to unlock each pipe. There are also differently colored pipes that lead to [[Petal Meadows]], [[Boggly Woods]], Twilight Town, and the [[Path to Fahr Outpost]].

====''Super Paper Mario''====
[[File:SPM Bitlands Warp Pipe.png|thumb|left|200px|A Warp Pipe from [[The Bitlands]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.]]
Warp Pipes reappear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. When a character is about to enter a Warp Pipe, they split into several small squares, which then go down the pipe and reassemble at the other end. A smaller variant called [[Mini Warp Pipes]] appear, and can only be entered if the character has shrunk with [[Dottie]]. Pixelated Warp Pipes appear in [[The Bitlands]], but function the same. Blue Warp Pipes are built by [[Welderberg]]. There are three of them in the game: One leads to Flipside's B2F, one to Flopside's B2F, and one to Flopside from Flipside (and vice versa). Each is accessible on the second floor of both cities. The [[Return Pipe]] is an [[Key item|Important Thing]] that allows the player to return to [[Flipside Tower]] from almost any dimension.
{{br}}

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
Warp Pipes also appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', functioning the same as in previous titles. [[Green Warp Pipe|One Warp Pipe]] is a scrap that Mario must use to progress in [[Hither Thither Hill]].

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
[[File:PMCS Cobalt Base pipe.png|thumb|Huey and Mario near a Warp Pipe in [[Cobalt Base]]]]
Warp Pipes also appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', with the same purpose as in previous games. Warp Pipes cannot be entered if they are not fully colored. Some Warp Pipes in [[Daffodil Peak]] contain enemies inside of them that must be fought in order to get through, including a [[Spiny]] and a [[Koopa Troopa]]. At [[Sacred Forest]], a large Warp Pipe has the [[Turnip]] Thing stuck in it. Once it is pulled out by the yellow [[Rescue Squad]], the pipe is also removed from the ground. A small scrap of paper sticks out, and if Mario pulls it, it reveals a smaller Warp Pipe. Another small Warp Pipe appears later in the level, and must be enlarged with the Magnifying Glass Thing. Special varieties of the Warp pipe also appear, such as the pipes used to access the [[parallel world]] in the Violet Isles. These pipes have orate designs that glow and circle the floor beneath the pipe. [[Mustard Café]]'s underground sections contain long spinning Warp Pipes. There is also a tall, orange Warp Pipe that is initially clogged with sand, acting as a path to the café.
{{br}}

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
[[File:PMOK Numbered Cannons.png|thumb|200px|Six differently colored Warp Pipes in the Musée Champignon from ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''.]]
{{quote|There's a new pipe! We're going in, right? Isn't that your whole deal?|Olivia|Paper Mario: The Origami King}}
Warp Pipes appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'' and function the same as in past ''Paper Mario'' games, with the added stipulation that a pipe cannot be entered unless the [[Olly Tape]] on the other side is removed. One notable pipe is a white pipe in the [[Musée Champignon]], leading to an underground room full of six shiny, numbered, color-coded warp pipes to six different areas, acting as a fast-travel system of sorts:
*'''#1: Red:''' Leads to [[Overlook Mountain]].
*'''#2: Blue:''' Leads to [[Shogun Studios]].
*'''#3: Yellow:''' Leads to the [[Scorching Sandpaper Desert]].
*'''#4: Purple:''' Leads to the [[Sea Tower]].
*'''#5: Green:''' Leads to [[Shangri-Spa]].
*'''#6: Black:''' Leads to [[Peach's Castle]]/[[Origami Castle]] (labeled as "Volcano Peak").
There is also an orange pipe leading from central [[Toad Town]] to the [[Sensor Lab]] over in [[Picnic Road]], as well as some ordinary green ones that can let him traverse the town more quickly. Additionally, after Mario beats the game, a slightly crumpled green pipe will appear outside of the final boss room; it will warp Mario back outside the castle's front door.

===''Mario Golf'' series===
Warp Pipes make an appearance in [[Peach's Castle Grounds]] in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''. When the player hits the ball into one, it will be transported to another of the same color, allowing them to skip part of the hole. Warp Pipes also appear in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''. In holes 1, 5, and 8 of [[Peach Gardens (golf course)|Peach Gardens]], the pipes are fully seen when the entire hole is viewed, but are submerged when the hole is actually being played. When the ball enters a pipe, the pipe comes out of the ground and shoots the ball onto the green or near it. In the Royal Gardens, Warp Pipes take the [[Mii]] to Mario World courses. They are also seen in the Castle Club basement, and they take the Mii to regional or world tournaments. They also appear in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'' in the [[Bowser Highlands]] course where they act as [[List of golfing terms#Rock|rock]]. If a ball lands on it, the player's next stroke will be blocked.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
{{multiple image

}}
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', nine green Warp Pipes (thirteen in [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|the remake]]) allow Mario and Luigi to travel the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] faster. In order to warp to one of these pipes, Mario and Luigi have to have entered it before. Yellow Warp Pipes also appear, which can transport Mario and Luigi to underwater or underground areas. They are found around [[Oho Ocean]], [[Gwarhar Lagoon]] and [[Teehee Valley]]. Unlike green Warp Pipes, they do not automatically transport Mario and Luigi from one end to the other. If they enter it from the top, they immediately fall down. If they want to climb back up, {{button|gba|a}} and {{button|gba|b}} must be pressed and held at the same time, which makes them interlock arms and walk up the yellow pipe's sides. Around Oho Ocean and Gwarhar Lagoon, yellow pipes lead to the seabed, while in Teehee Valley, they lead to underground ruins. While [[Princess Peach]] is being escorted through Teehee Valley, she is brought through these pipes and into one of the ruins if a [[Gritty Goomba]] captures her. Finally, there are also a few small green Warp Pipes, which can warp either Mario or Luigi to a 2D bonus dungeon.

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
[[File:PiTWarpPipe.PNG|200px|thumb|Right|A pipe in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''.]]
During the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', special blue Warp Pipes require Mario, Luigi, [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] to stand on them in order to activate them. Also, when Mario and Luigi are separated from Baby Mario and Luigi, one of the brothers can jump up and hit a [[Warp Block (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)|Warp Block]], out of which a miniature pipe comes and plants itself in the ground. It then grows to the size of a normal pipe allowing either pair of brothers to jump in and be reunited with the other pair. If used while both pair of brothers are near each other, the pipe jumps out and goes back inside the block.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', [[Bowser]] inhales several Warp Pipes once he eats the [[Vacuum Shroom]] from [[Fawful]]. In this game, they are used as a link between [[Bowser's body]] and the Mushroom Kingdom. They are the only way to get the Mario brothers out of Bowser's body, and they can be found in the [[Pipe Yard]]. When the Pipe Yard is unlocked, there is a tall red pipe blocking the area until Bowser gets shocked. Bowser cannot jump into these. A [[Bros. Attack#Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story/ Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|Special Attack]] (Bros. Attack in the remake) called [[Spin Pipe]] is used in this game as well.

There are a few pipes that transport the player into another area in the overworld without going into Bowser. There are a few in Bowser's Castle, taking the player into the basement of the castle, or through the shortcut.

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
[[File:Warp Pipe Gold MLDT.png|thumb|100px|A Warp Pipe from the Warp Pipe Block]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', Warp Pipes make a number of appearances, connecting distant areas. In the real world, standard green Warp Pipes appear, usually leading to cave areas. Like the previous installments, both Mario and Luigi must stand on a plate of Warp Pipe to enter it. Landing on a pipe causes [[Ball Hop]] to end. Pipes placed horizontally do not have plates, and can just be walked into as a pair.

Special gold colored Warp Pipes appear scattered throughout [[Pi'illo Island]], which are unlocked after escaping [[Dreamy Mount Pajamaja]]. [[Prince Dreambert]] remembers hiding a [[Warp Pipe Block]] near [[Mount Pajamaja]]'s [[Dreampoint]]. When Mario hits the block, these pipes pop out and land all over the island. The pipes act similarly to the ones in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', allowing the player to quickly return to areas. While the pipes in every previously accessed area are unlocked by default, later pipes have to be entered in order to add them to the possible destinations. As part of the tutorial, the player is required to leave Mount Pajamaja and return to [[Pi'illo Castle]] with the pipes.

In the [[Dream World]], pipes can connect areas, and are entered with a corresponding directional input. Pipes are frequently used to allow the player to return to the start of a room, or to quickly return the player to the [[Dream Portal]] after reaching the end of an area. Some pipes are stuck in the ground, and are only uprooted for general use after hitting switches, hitting [[! Block]]s, or exiting from that pipe.  [[Dreamy Driftwood Shore]] and [[Dreamy Wakeport]] have pipes appear in differing colors to aid navigation. Some pipes are in the background, functioning largely identically to doors. Such pipes appear prominently in Dreamy Driftwood Shore, where pipes with a lip symbol on one end connect each portion of the area to Broque Madame's, a shop run by a dream version of [[Broque Madame]]. Pipes can only be entered while grounded, sometimes prompting the use of [[Luiginary Gravity]] to align Mario with pipes.

Most connections to areas in the game are depicted as white on the map screen. However, some connections are displayed with the color of the pipe they use.

All Warp Pipes are hard surfaces, so if Luigi swings his [[Hammer]] at Mario while standing on one, [[Mini-Mario (form)|Mini-Mario]] is performed.

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', a papercraft Warp Pipe also appears in the game, allowing Mario, Luigi and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] to access several locations and Toad Villages in the Mushroom Kingdom, like in the first installment. Standard green pipes retain their functionality in the game, usually leading to other areas like the [[Doop Doop Dunes Grotto|underground section]] of [[Doop Doop Dunes]] where the [[Big Pokey|Pokey]] [[Tower Power Pokey|duo]] is fought, or as a shortcut to other places like the Warp Pipe leading to the [[Mount Brrr]] Toad Village. As the player progresses in the game, the Warp Pipe in the [[Lakitu Info Center]] allows the trio to access the [[Arcade (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Arcade]]. However, if the trio is in a mission, the pipes are blocked with an iron plate on top.

===''Mario Pinball Land''===
[[File:MPL Blue Pipe.png|frame]]
Pipes appear as items in ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''. Using one places a blue pipe in between the [[flipper (Pinball)|flipper]]s, preventing Mario from losing a life. However, the pipe disappears after a certain amount of time. It can be obtained by buying it in [[Toad's tent]], hitting a [[? Block]], or receiving it from a roulette after the player gets a [[question mark]]. A pipe also appears temporarily and/or shoots out a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]] when the latter is used.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series===
In the ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' series, pipes are used by the [[Mini]] toys to reach different areas within a level. They generally only have two ends, with the exception of [[Rotate Pipe]]s which may have up to four. Once a Mini enters a pipe, the player must wait for the character to traverse its entire length; the position of a Mini in that pipe is shown by an icon of that Mini moving correspondingly towards the other end of the pipe. Throughout the series, the sound produced by a pipe when entered or exited is recycled from ''Super Mario 64''. Regular Warp Pipes, whose ends are physically interjoined, are first encountered in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'' where they are green. The game also introduces the aforementioned Rotate Pipes, which can be rotated around 90° at a time. Subsequent games, starting with ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'', largely portray interjoined pipes as blue while introducing different types of pipes among the usual ones. '''Split Pipes'''<ref>{{cite|format=PDF|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20180725193204/https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/manual-3DS-mario-vs-donkey-kong-tipping-stars-en.pdf|title=''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars'' electronic manual.

Section 9: "Objects/Contraptions"|publisher=nintendo.com|accessdate=June 27, 2024}}</ref> are pairs of pipes that are separated between two areas, allowing for a shorter travel time. Corresponding Split Pipes are color-coded yellow, pink, purple, red, cyan, or gray. [[Movable Pipe]]s are green and work in the same manner as Split Pipes, but can be removed and placed in specific spots within a stage using the touchscreen. In ''[[Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move]]'', pipes work on a similar basis to Split Pipes; if multiple paths diverge from a pipe, the player is given the option to choose a path once the Minis emerge from said pipe.

In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', a pipe is briefly seen in the background when [[Donkey Kong]] steals the [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini-Mario]]s in the [[Mario Toy Factory]], where it is used to connect a conveyor belt used to move the toys.

In ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis'', pipes are very common in [[Pipe Works]], the third world in the game. In ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!'', although pipes can be found in [[Coaster Hills]] early on, they are given a focus in [[Warped Mansion]], which debuts Movable Pipes. In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'', the first interjoined pipe encountered is in [[Rolling Hills]], but the Split Pipes do not appear until [[Jumpy Jungle (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars)|Jumpy Jungle]], and Movable Pipes until [[Crumbling Cavern]].

The [[Workshop Store]] of ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars'' features multiple design patterns for interjoined pipes that can be unlocked with stars and used in the level builder. The store presents '''Polka-Dotted Pipes''', '''Pink Pipes''', '''Green Pipes''' and '''Gold Pipes'''. Despite the different aesthetics, they work identically to the blue pipes found in the main campaign.

===''Captain Rainbow''===
[[File:Warp Pipe Captain Rainbow.png|thumb|A Warp Pipe in ''Captain Rainbow''.]]
In the game ''[[Captain Rainbow]]'', Warp Pipes appear and are used the same way. They can be green, yellow, or pink and produce the original ''Super Mario Bros.'' sound effect when used.

===''Mario & Sonic'' series===
Warp Pipes appear in a variety of events in the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]]. In the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', Warp Pipes appear in both the [[Dream Ski Cross (Individual)|individual]] and [[Dram Ski Cross (Team)|team]] versions of Dream Ski Cross, where players can ski through them to be transported to the next part of the course, with the pipe entered determining which route the player ends up on. Piranha Plants in Warp Pipes also appear along the course, as well as appearing as obstacles in [[Dream Ice Hockey]]. In [[Dream Figure Skating]], several Warp Pipes appear as props in the first segment of the Mario World routine. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', Warp Pipes appear in [[Groove Pipe Snowboard]], where they transport characters to the next section of the course, as well as in [[Mario's Figure Skating Spectacular]], where a Warp Pipe is used to travel to [[Bowser's Castle]] segment. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', Warp Pipes appear in [[Golf Plus]], where the player can hit their ball into a Warp Pipe, transporting it to another part of the course. A red pipe can allow the player to score a hole in one if they manage to hit their ball into it. Warp Pipes also appear as basic obstacles that block the ball, as well as containing Piranha Plants. In [[BMX Plus]], there are Warp Pipes containing Piranha Plants, also appearing as a regular obstacle.

===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Warp Pipes reappear in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]], although they work differently from ''Super Mario 3D Land'' and ''Super Mario 3D World''. In this game, they work similarly to [[Clear Pipe]]s, but instead of being able to see what is inside them directly, only a silhouette of what is inside is shown. It is also not possible for objects and enemies like [[spike ball (seed)|spike ball]]s or [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]] to be found inside them, unlike Clear Pipes. This game also features purple-colored Warp Pipes.

===''Mario Tennis Aces''===
In ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', Luigi makes a Warp Pipe appear out of the ground as part of his [[Special Shot (Mario Tennis Aces)|Special Shot]].
{{br}}

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
Warp Pipes play a major role in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''. Pipes first appear when Mario and Luigi accidentally discover a [[mysterious pipe]] while trying to fix a leak underground. However, the two are both sucked in, sending them both through a current that connects between pipes in the [[Warp Zone]], where the two are both accidentally separated, resulting in Mario ending up arriving in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] after emerging from the other end, landing in an area full of [[Mushroom Platform]]s, while Luigi instead ends up in the [[Dark Land]]s and is captured.

Later, while [[Toad]] is escorting Mario through the Mushroom Kingdom, a gag scene takes place where Mario enters and exits a variety of different Warp Pipes, most of them leading to another pipe on the same screen.

[[File:Warp-pipe-maracana-rio-2016.png|thumb|The Warp Pipe at the Rio 2016 Olympics closing ceremony]]
Warp Pipes appear in ''[[Skylanders: SuperChargers]]'' as part of Hammer Slam Bowser's moveset; however, due to an agreement between Nintendo and {{wp|Activision}}, they are featured exclusively on the Nintendo versions of the game.

Warp Pipes containing Piranha Plants in them appear as furniture items in the ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing (series)|Animal Crossing]]'' series. In ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: New Horizons|Animal Crossing: New Horizons]]'' in particular, Warp Pipes are empty, but if two are placed on the island, the player can interact with one to warp to the other. Warp Pipes with Piranha Plants emerging out of them appear in the animated mushroom mural wallpaper in the aforementioned game.

In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Cauldrons are replaced by Warp Pipes.  Warp Pipes also appear in the premade world, where they are used similarly to the games.

In the [[pikipedia:Pikmin Short Movies|''Pikmin'' short]] "[[pikipedia:Occupational Hazards|Occupational Hazards]]," a Red [[Pikmin]] exits a green pipe that contained coins. The Red Pikmin also has dust on his face that makes him resemble Mario.

In the Wii U and Switch versions of ''[[nwiki:Lego City Undercover|Lego City Undercover]]'', a Warp Pipe can be built in the Downtown area and when the player jumps on top of it and presses {{button|A}}, a new area will be unlocked. When entering and exiting the Warp Pipe the sound effect that is used when [[Mario]] uses a Warp Pipe is played.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=packattack04082|date=April 21, 2017|url=youtu.be/xvhH7jN4os0|title=LEGO City Undercover (Switch) - Mario & Nintendo Easter Eggs Compilation|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 27, 2024}}</ref>

In the [[Yoshi's Island Zone]] DLC level of the Wii U version of ''[[Sonic Lost World]]'', blue Warp Pipes can be entered by the player to access [[sub-area]]s.

Outside of video games, a Warp Pipe appears as a utility in [[Nintendo Monopoly]], taking the place of the Water Works. It costs $150. There is also an "Advance to Go" [[? Block]] card that mentions jumping into a pipe. In the 2010 version of the game, the [[Brick Block]] "Advance to Go" card also refers to a pipe.

In ''[[Monopoly Gamer]]'', four Warp Pipe spaces appear on the board. Landing on one lets the player advance to the next Warp Pipe space on the board, collecting any coins on the spaces in between the two Warp Pipe spaces and any coins on the Warp Pipe space on which they land, if this causes the player to pass the GO! space, they collect two additional Coins from the Bank and initiate a Boss Fight.

Besides appearing in ''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games'', the Warp Pipe had a prominent appearance at the {{wp|2016 Summer Olympics closing ceremony#Warming up! Tokyo 2020|Rio 2016 Olympics handover ceremony}} in real life. Fearing he would not be on time for the Olympics' closing ceremony on the opposite side of the planet, Prime Minister of Japan {{wp|Shinzo Abe}} disguised himself as Mario and jumped into a Warp Pipe (which {{wp|Doraemon (character)|Doraemon}} had conveniently pulled out of his pocket) amidst commuting businesspeople on the {{wp|Shibuya#Shibuya_Crossing|Shibuya crossing}}. Abe then came out of a Warp Pipe in the center of the {{wp|Maracanã Stadium}}. It was then used as a stage prop for the dance act that followed.<ref>{{cite|author=Al Jazeera Turk|publisher=YouTube|language=tr|date=August 22, 2016|url=youtu.be/FNuqKVG781I|title=Tokyo 2020'ye hazır|accessdate=June 27, 2024}}</ref>

In [[UNO Super Mario|UNO ''Super Mario'']], the Reverse card features an image of Mario entering a Warp Pipe.

A large Warp Pipe serves as the main entrance for the [[Super Nintendo World]] theme park area as well as a tunnel in the Yoshi's Adventure attraction, with patterns of light appearing along the interior as guests travel through. The tunnel in Yoshi's Adventure features a view into space with [[Starship Mario]].

==Trivia==
*Pipes are inspired by their appearances in older manga where they are found on vacant lots. Although usually gray, green was selected due to color limitations during the development of ''Mario Bros.''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|url=iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/wii/nsmb/0/2|title=Iwata Asks: New Super Mario Bros: Volume 1|publisher=Nintendo of America|accessdate=April 29, 2023}}</ref> According to the UK ''Nintendo Magazine'', pipes were inspired by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]'s desire to explore a building with a manhole covered pipe in Kyoto.<ref>{{cite|title=''Official UK Nintendo Magazine'' Issue #57|date=June 1997|page=93|quote='''PIPES AND HOLES''' Mario leaps from a green pipe at the beginning of SM64, while manholes and pipes were essential in Mario’s NES adventures. When living in Kyoto, Miyamoto often walked past a building with a manhole covered pipe mounted on a wall. Miyamoto always wanted to explore the pipe, and players are given the chance to do so in his games.|language=en-gb|publisher=EMAP}}</ref>
*All [[Koopalings]] except [[Larry]] have used Warp Pipes during battles.
*Pipes are often [[lists of references|referenced in other media]], ranging from characters simply sliding down pipes to entering pipes that actively warp them to different areas. An example of the latter is found in ''{{wp|The Simpsons Game}}'', which features a level based on other video games; in multiple parts of this level, the player has to jump into a Warp Pipe to advance further into the level.
*In the 2D ''Super Mario'' games prior to ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' (bar ''Super Mario Land'' and ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''), the Warp Pipe's enter/exit sound effect was also Mario/Luigi's damage sound effect up until ''New Super Mario Bros.'', which reused the [[Family Computer]] sound effect for pipes. From ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' to ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', the ''Super Mario World'' pipe sound effect is now Mario/Luigi's damage sound effect, while the pipes retain their Family Computer pipe sound effect.
*The second-to-last line of the description of the ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' trophy in the non-American English versions references the phrase "pipe dream".
*Though they don't appear in ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'', they are joked about in the level [[Ninjutsu: The Art of Rapids]], where a nearby [[Theet]] is very amazed by how [[Ninja Peach]] rose up from a village well in a manner similar to a Warp Pipe.
