The '''Warp Zone''' is a hidden area that acts as a kind of teleportation system, connecting many worlds 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 levels, each of which would launch [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to a later world. | |||

[[File:SMB Warpzone.png|thumb|left|The first Warp Zone in ''Super Mario Bros.'', located in World 1-2]] | |||
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', the zone is a sectioned-off area containing [[Warp Pipe|pipes]] to different levels. There are three of them; one located in [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]] and two in [[World 4-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-2]]. The first gives the choice to warp to [[World 2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2]], [[World 3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3]], or [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4]], and is located behind the pipe that leads to the [[Flagpole]]. In World 4-2, the zone behind the final pipe leads to [[World 5 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]] only. Instead, the player must find a secret [[Beanstalk]] in order to warp to [[World 6 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 6]], [[World 7 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7]], or [[World 8 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8]] (in ''[[VS. Super Mario Bros.]]'', the Warp Zone in that area only leads to World 6, meaning that there is no way for the player to skip all the way to World 8). The first Warp Zone also lets players perform the famous [[Minus World]] glitch. | |||

[[File:SMBLL World | [[File:SMBLL World 5-2 Warp Zone.png|thumb|right|A Warp Zone in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'']] | ||
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', Warp Zones function identically to those in ''Super Mario Bros.'' They no longer, however, give the player a choice of destination, as every zone contains only one pipe. Two Warp Zones send the player to an earlier World; for instance, the Warp Zone in [[World 3-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 3-1]] leads to [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 1-1]], and the Warp Zone in [[World 8-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 8-1]] leads to [[World 5-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 5-1]]. However, the backwards Warp Zone in World 3-1 has a gap that [[Mario]] can | In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', Warp Zones function identically to those in ''Super Mario Bros.'' They no longer, however, give the player a choice of destination, as every zone contains only one pipe. Two Warp Zones send the player to an earlier World; for instance, the Warp Zone in [[World 3-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 3-1]] leads to [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 1-1]], and the Warp Zone in [[World 8-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 8-1]] leads to [[World 5-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 5-1]]. However, the backwards Warp Zone in World 3-1 has a gap that [[Mario]] can chose to jump into and lose a life to avoid the pipe. This time, to prevent glitching by [[List of Super Mario Bros. glitches#Over the Flagpole|jumping over the flagpole]], some Warp Zones are located behind it. | ||
Using Warp Zones voids access to [[World 9 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9]]; this condition does not apply if the player uses a backwards Warp Zone, meaning that if the player warped backwards and then avoided the Warp Zone the second time around, they will still be able to access World 9. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', saving after doing this removes access to World 9 permanently for that save file. Due to World 9 (as well as Worlds A through D) being absent in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' port, this condition does not apply in that version. Additionally, ''[[All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.]]'' does not have World 9, but Worlds A-D return, so such does not apply in that game, either. | |||
The following is a list of Warp Zone locations in this game in order of appearance. (Due to Worlds A-D also returning in ''All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.'', the Warp Zones leading to those worlds in that game are the same as in ''The Lost Levels''.) | |||

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, one must warp from World 1; to access the middle row, one must warp from Worlds 2-6; and to access the last row, one must warp from Worlds 7-9. Alternatively, one can collect two Whistles using the first to access the Warp Zone and the second while within the Warp Zone to access the last row to enter World 8. | ||

Although the world cannot be selected from the World Select screen (due to it requiring special circumstances to access), it is most likely the small island near [[Desert Land]], [[Water Land]], and [[Giant Land]], due to it being a small island with the same coloration as Warp Zone. | ||
Additionally, the original ''Super Mario Bros.'' Warp Zone is replicated in [[Classic World 1-2]], though all three pipes only send the player to one room with a [[Fire Flower]] in a chest. | Additionally, the original ''Super Mario Bros.''

Warp Zones also appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. They are in the same levels as they were in the original ''Super Mario Bros.'': in World 1-2 and World 4-2. However, there is only one orange pipe, and they only warp the player to the next world. | |||

It does not serve any real function other than to take the player back to the overworld. The Warp Zone is also mentioned by the defeated [[List of Sammer Guys#Warping Pipe|Warping Pipe]] [[Sammer Guy]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', who believes it to be a fabled place where great warriors (apparently people with incredible skill over Warp Pipes) tread. | ||
