The '''Warp Zone''' is a hidden area that acts as a kind of teleportation system, connecting many [[world]]s to one place. For the most part, they are sectioned-off areas containing [[Warp Pipe]]s, although ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' featured [[Warp Zone (Super Mario Bros. 3)|an entire island]] as its Warp Zone. Instead of Warp Zones, ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and two of its sequels feature [[Warp Cannon]]s accessed from secret exits in certain [[level]]s, each of which would launch [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to a later world. Warp Zones were inspired by the arcade version of ''{{ | The '''Warp Zone''' is a hidden area that acts as a kind of teleportation system, connecting many [[world]]s to one place.

Certain [[jar]]s within [[Subspace]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' contain Subspace Warps, which automatically warp players to later worlds, without the use of an intermediary Warp Zone. In some episodes of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', [[Bowser|King Koopa]] would similarly use potions to create portals or doors to make his escape. | Certain [[jar]]s within [[Subspace]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' contain Subspace Warps, which automatically warp players to later worlds, without the use of an intermediary Warp Zone.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the Warp Zone is an island that can only be accessed via [[Recorder|Magic Whistle]], and is treated as the game's World 9. Like other games' Warp Zones, it connects to the other kingdoms of the [[Mushroom World]], although the zone itself is not completely interconnected; to access the top row, the player must warp from World 1; to access the middle row, the player must warp from Worlds 2-6; and to access the last row, the player must warp from Worlds 7-9 (using a Magic Whistle while already in the Warp Zone will send the player directly to the last row to enter World 8). | In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the Warp Zone is an island that can only be accessed via [[Recorder|Magic Whistle]], and is treated as the game's World 9.

While traversing the [[Valley of Bowser]], [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Yoshi]] find a natural spring. Mario and Yoshi decide to dive into it to rest, while Luigi checks a sign, which says that it is a Warp Zone to other games. He tries to warn his friends, but Mario and Yoshi have already dove deep into the pond and find themselves in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past}}'', with Mario armed with the [[Kinoko Sword]] and Yoshi in a [[Shield Yoshi|shield form]]. Luigi is able to communicate to them, see them, and pass objects to them from the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' side. He tells them that they should be looking for another Warp Zone situated somewhere in {{iw|zeldawiki|Hyrule}}.
