'''Subspace''' is an alternate, but possibly parallel dimension to [[Subcon]] that turns everything dark and reverses direction. It is a single screen which the player cannot travel beyond. Subspace can only be accessed by use of the [[Magic Potion]]s (which create doors leading to the land) in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. When [[Mario]] or his friends enter Subspace, they only have a few seconds to get the [[Mushroom]] that may or may not appear; it depends on where in Subspace the hero has entered. In Subspace, all items found in the red grass are transformed into [[Coin|Gold Coins]] when the player plucks them, giving the heroes an increased chance of earning extra lives in the slot machine bonus game. Depending on the area, players can also collect [[Cherries]], [[Star]]s, and [[POW Blocks]]. A few [[Vase]]s allow the player to skip to another world like a [[Warp Zone]]. There are no enemies, but [[Phanto]] can follow the player into Subspace if he or she was holding the [[Key]]. The player can still die by falling into the [[Pit (obstacle)|abyss]] or drowning in quicksand. The music playing in the background is the main theme from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. In both remakes, the background is the same, but the level actually has color and is not just simply black. Additionally, in [[Super Mario Advance|the GBA remake]], [[Yoshi Egg]]s could be found here after [[Wart]] is defeated.

It has been suggested that this page be moved to Sub-Space. Reason: In-game name (discuss)

This article is about the dimension in Super Mario Bros. 2. For the location in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, see List of The Subspace Emissary stages § Subspace.

Subspace[1] (alternatively spelled Sub-space[2][3][4] or Sub-Space[5][6]), also known as the Hidden World,[7] and misspelled as Sup-Space on one occasion,[8] is an alternate dimension to Subcon in Super Mario Bros. 2. It features dark terrain mirrored on a single screen, which the player cannot travel beyond. Subspace can be accessed only by entering a door from a Magical Potion. The player character can be in Subspace for a few seconds only, after which they are taken back into the main level. A Mushroom may appear in Subspace to be collected, depending on where the player character has entered. All items found in any available red grass are transformed into coins when the player plucks them, though for the first two visits only, and any still-standing grass tufts give unripe vegetables afterwards. The player can still lose a life by falling into a pit or drowning in quicksand, but doing so allows another chance for obtaining coins. Depending on the area, players can also collect cherries, Starmen, and POWs. Cherries and POWs do not vanish upon the player returning to the main level. There are no enemies, but Phanto can follow the player into Subspace if they were holding the key. Within this zone, a few jars contain a Subspace Warp[9] that can be entered for the player character to instantly skip over to a later world, similarly to a Warp Zone in Super Mario Bros.

In the game's two reissues (Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance), the background is the same, but the level terrain is colored in, rather than black. In Super Mario Advance only, Yoshi Eggs are hidden in Subspace after Wart is defeated.

In BS Super Mario USA, entering any jar in Subspace sends the player directly to Wart's chamber.
