'''Pipe Maze''' (known as '''Pipe Land''' in the International [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] revision, alternatively known as '''Tube City''' in the Nintendo Power Strategy Guide) is the seventh world in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Pipe Maze consists of nine levels, two Fortresses, three [[Toad House]]s, two [[Spade Panel]]s, a Mushroom King's palace, and two special Piranha Plant levels. The world consists of many islands linked by a confusing network of pipes. The levels in this world often have complex pipe networks within. The kingdom is known to have landscapes, such as plains, deserts, and more, with several pipes. Besides the Piranha Plant denizens, the denizens of the world are implied to be Vikings, due to the King wearing a viking's helmet and overall resembling a nordic viking.

==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
Pipe Land becomes accessible after completing [[Ice Land]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Pipe Land consists of nine [[level]]s, two [[fortress]]es, three [[Toad House]]s, three [[Spade Panel]]s, two special [[Piranha Plant]] levels, and a [[castle]] that has been taken over by an [[airship]]. The world consists of many islands linked by a confusing network of pipes, and the islands themselves resemble [[Warp Pipe]]s. The levels in this world often have complex pipe networks within. The kingdom is known to have landscapes, such as plains, deserts, and more, with several pipes. The king wears a Viking's helmet and overall resembles a Nordic Viking. This labyrinthine world is conquered by [[Ludwig|Ludwig von Koopa]], who turns the [[kings|king of Pipe Land]] into a [[Piranha Plant]] (or a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] in the remakes). All overworld parts of this world's levels have a peach-colored sky. According to ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', World 7 is located to the east of [[Grass Land|World 1]] and to the west of [[Ice Land|World 6]]. The Piranha Plant levels serve as the basis of the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' style's Forest theme in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''.


The labyrinth world of Pipe Maze is conquered by [[Ludwig von Koopa]], who turns the [[Mushroom Kings|king]] into a [[Piranha Plant]] (a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] in the remakes) and all of its islands resemble Warp Pipes.
Pipe Land consists of the following levels:

According to ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', it was located to the east of [[Grass Land]], and to the west of [[Iced Land]].
===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
[[File:PipeLandCartoon.jpg|thumb|Pipe Land in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Pipe Land, which was again sometimes referred to as the Pipe Maze, appeared in a few episodes. Underneath Pipe Land is vast  underground maze filled with pipes and rivers. It is populated by various enemies such as [[Thwomp|Thwomps]], [[Boo|Boo Diddlys]], [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]]s and even [[Boom Boom]].  


==Level Info==
'''[[Oh, Brother!]]''': The first episode where this world is shown as the title card. Using the [[Power Shower]], [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky]] and [[Bowser]] were scheming to wash all the [[coin]]s floating around in the underground Pipe World (presumably another name for Pipe Land or a related area) into a dungeon where they could collect them. When the Power Shower sprung a leak, Kooky captured Mario by pulling him through the Pipe World using his [[Plumber Pole]]. Kooky then hypnotized Mario using his [[Lame Brainer]] so that he would mindlessly repair the invention. Luigi attempted to swim through the Pipe World to rescue Mario, but after being chased by a [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]], he returned to [[Toad House|Toad's House]] to don a [[Frog Suit]]. As [[Frog Mario|Frog Luigi]], Luigi eluded all the enemies in the Pipe World and found his way to the Koopas' dungeon. After Luigi rescued Mario and defeated the Koopas, the Power Shower was dismantled, and all the stolen coins were returned to the Pipe World.
==={{world|7|1}}===
[[Image:WarpPipesSMB37-1.png|right|thumb|[[Hammer Mario]] in level 7-1.]]
This is a wraparound level, meaning if Mario goes out of one side of the screen, he'll reappear on the other. Plenty of pipes are found here along with Piranha Plants and Koopas.


==={{world|7|2}}===
[[File:MightyPlumberEp.jpg|thumb|left|King Koopa and Mighty Plumber in Pipe Land's underground maze.]]  
[[Image:7-2SMAS.png|left|thumb|]]
'''[[Misadventure of Mighty Plumber]]''': The second and final episode where this world is shown as the title card.  In this episode, Bowser wanted to rob the [[Pipe Land Treasury]]. After [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy]] brought [[Mighty Plumber]] to life from the TV, Bowser tricked him by saying that [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] were trying to rob the treasury. Mighty Plumber followed Bowser through Pipe Land's underground maze, keeping Mario and Luigi out of Bowser's hair. After Bowser plundered the vault, he locked Mighty Plumber inside along with Mario and Luigi. With some help assistance from Mario and Luigi, Mighty Plumber escaped, took the coins back, and was returned to the TV. Mario and Luigi later returned the coins to the treasury.
The second pipe in the level leads to an underground pool filled with coins, many of which can only be collected by [[Frog Mario]].There is also a [[P-Switch]] in the far left end of the pool. After returning back through the pipe, Mario continues walking to the right and jumps over the pit with a crack in it. After a wooden block and a [[Nipper Plant]], Mario must duck in the highest pipe, then make his way to the right-most pipe, going up it. Afterward, he appears in a valley of pipes, above which are many invisible [[Jump Block]]s which Mario must hit. Afterward, Mario ducks in the pipe to the right, grabs a power-up, comes out, ducks in the pipe to the left, and finally exits the one on the right. Then he crosses the valley on the newly made bridge of Jump Blocks; on the sixth Block from the left, Mario can jump extra-high to grab a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. Afterwards, the lowest pipe from the left of the right wall is the pipe leading to the exit pipe.


==={{world|7|3}}===
'''[[Misadventures in Babysitting]]''': The Pipe Maze was also featured in this episode. [[Junior (The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3)|Junior]], a spoiled child from [[Brooklyn]] whom Mario and Luigi accidentally wound up babysitting, found a warp leading to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. There he quickly befriended [[Roy Koopa|Bully]], Cheatsy, and Kooky. The [[Koopalings]] used Junior as bait to lure Mario and Luigi into a volcano. However, they Koopalings betrayed Junior and tossed him into the Pipe Maze, where he was scared off by various enemies. Eavesdropping on the Koopalings, Mario and Luigi learned about where Junior went, and traveled into the Pipe Maze to find him. At the same time, Kooky began filling the Pipe Maze with lava. However, Mario and Luigi were able to find [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon Power]], and were able to use it to free Junior from the Pipe Maze.
[[Image:7-3SMAS.png|thumb|]]
This stage is very simple, except for the [[Lakitu]]. However, halfway through the level a [[Star|Starman]] chain can make this easier. Also, later in the level there is a pipe with unlimited Goombas, which invincible Mario can kill for many 1-Ups. Each of the ? Blocks on the sides of the pipe has a Starman, which can be used to defeat some Goombas. A [[Lakitu]] will then appear and chase Mario while throwing eggs.


==={{world|7|4}}===
===''Nintendo Comics System''===
[[Image:7-4SMAS.png|left|thumb|]]
Pipe Land is the setting of the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' story [[The Revenge of Pipe Ooze!]], which reveals the world hosts The Annual [[Dirk Drain-Head]] Role-Playing Game.
This water stage introduces [[Spiny Cheep-Cheep|Spiny Cheep-Cheeps]]. Also, this level boasts a ''huge'' maze of [[Jelectro]]s. The [[Big Bertha]] and [[Blooper Nanny|Blooper Nannies]] also infest the water. Before entering the pipe at the start of the level, Mario can fly over the wall to an area containing two 1-ups in bricks.


==={{world|7|5}}===
===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
[[Image:7-5SMAS.png|thumb|]]
One of the [[Game Over]]s in ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'' has Luigi end up lost and disoriented in Pipe Land if he falls into a body of water and is sucked into a pipe due to having an [[Anchor]] in his pocket.
This level is a series of rooms. The first and second have nothing worthwhile, but in the third room, the player should hit all the Invisible Blocks inthe gaps in the floor. Then, at the last gap, jump through. The second pipe from the right has a exit not blocked by a block, and if Mario goes all the way to the left and goes in that pipe, he'll be lead to a power-up. After the pipe, Mario must go left, then fall through the second gap and go through ''another'' pipe. As a powered-up Mario, he must smash through the blocks to a pipe, then hop in. In this room, Mario must expose invisible blocks to make a solid path on the top, from platform to platform. Right by the pipe at the end, to the left, is a block with a 1-Up. Mario can then exit through the pipe, go across the other bridge he made, then take one last pipe into the out side.


==={{world|7|piranhaplant}}===
In ''[[Pipe Down!]]'', Ludwig von Koopa sets up a base in the Pipe World (possibly Pipe Land or a similar location) and intends on debuting his basketball-themed ballet, ''Dribbling Beauty'', there; using a pair of magic shoes sent to her as a birthday present, Ludwig abducts Princess Toadstool to star in the ballet as the "Prima Slamdunkerina". Along with a stage, Ludwig also has a Piranha Plant string quartet, a giant magical pipe organ, and a jukebox in his secret chamber. The Mario Bros. can reach Pipe World by either going down a tunnel beneath the Mushroom Palace, or by using one they discover in the [[Koopahari Desert]].
[[Image:7-PPSMAS.png|left|thumb|]]
This stage is optional, but helpful. Mario must adventure over [[Muncher]]s and all kinds of foliage. If he has a spare Starman, it'll aid him greatly. The smallest pipe at the end leads to a room with a [[P-Wing]].


==={{world|7|fort}}===
==Gallery==
[[Image:7-FSMAS.png|thumb|]]
<gallery>
This castle has a secret. If Mario enters powered-up, he can smash away the fourth row of blocks by the metal block, eventually uncovering a P-Switch that, when stomped, will turn the floor into a coin smorgasbord. There is also a secret room that contains a Tanooki Suit here. The only way to reach [[Boom-Boom]]'s room is by flying near the left side of the large checkerboard-floor chamber, and entering the pipe hanging from the ceiling. This level is the only level without enemies (excluding Boom-Boom).

Only 200 seconds are given to complete this fortress.

This is another wraparound stage, but fairly simple. Mario needs to use the [[Arrow Lift]]s to ride on to get through the level while avoiding Spikes and Piranha Plants. If he uses the P-wing in the beginning, Mario can simply fly over the wall and get to the end of the level.

|title2=Pipe Maze
This stage has a line-up of Munchers. Mario needs to use every Starman found in the stage and run across the Munchers to get through the level. He can let the Stars roam for a bit before grabbing them, effectively heightening his invincibility time. Also, it is possible to use a [[P-Wing]] to fly over the Munchers.

}}
[[Image:7-8SMAS.png|left|thumb|]]
An arrangement of Pipe Land's map theme plays in the stock menu in ''[[Fortune Street]]''.
This stage has more Piranha Plants and [[Venus Fire Trap]]s. A Starman and/or a P-Wing work great here. There is a Starman in the first ? Block, allowing Mario to weed-whack the plants. Plus, the second walking [[Ptooie]] guards a pipe to a secret room, which has a [[Hammer Suit]]! Use it to smash Mario's way to the exit, and dodge fire attacks from Venus Fire Traps and Nipper Plants. Mario also finds a Coin Heaven by jumping and hitting a red jump block.
 
Mario will encounter a fire breathing Nipper Plant at the end of World 7-8. There is only one of these Fire Breathing Nipper Plants in the entire game, making it the rarest enemy encountered in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
 
==={{world|7|9}}===
[[Image:7-9SMAS.png|thumb|]]
This level is a maze of tubing. There are quite a few secrets, and ''quite'' a few baddies. Mario can collect coins by smashing the blocks below them. There are several rich coin deposits in this stage, but the player should watch the timer.
 
==={{world|7|fort}} 2===
[[Image:7-F2SMAS.png|left|thumb|]]
[[Hammer Mario]] can breeze through this befuddling Fortress, but other Marios might have a harder time. Almost all the Fortress enemies are here. There are lava and pipes too. Boom Boom waits at the end as always.
 
==={{world|7|piranhaplant}} 2===
[[Image:7-PP2SMAS.png|thumb|]]
Mario can jump right over the first stretch of Munchers. Cross a field of Munchers using sparsely-placed ♩ Blocks and claim the Super Mushroom prize at the end.
 
==={{world|7|[[File:Airship.gif|Airship]]}}<font color="white" size="1px">Airship</font>===
[[File:7-ASMAS.png|left|thumb]]
An [[Anchor]] is highly recommended, as the Airship can traipse all over the world, and Mario cannot. This Airship has [[Rocket Engine]]s waiting to singe Mario's rear as he balances on [[Bolt Lift]]s. [[Rocky Wrench]]es are here too, and Ludwig von Koopa awaits Mario at the end. Mario can tackle him like all his other siblings, but like [[Roy Koopa|Roy]], he'll paralyze the plumber by jumping around.
 
Additionally, at the end of the airship Mario will get a letter from Bowser, saying that he kidnapped the [[Princess Peach|princess]].

Pipe Land[1][2][3][4] (alternatively Pipe Maze[5] or Tube City[6]) is the seventh world of Super Mario Bros. 3.

History[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Pipe Land becomes accessible after completing Ice Land in Super Mario Bros. 3. Pipe Land consists of nine levels, two fortresses, three Toad Houses, three Spade Panels, two special Piranha Plant levels, and a castle that has been taken over by an airship. The world consists of many islands linked by a confusing network of pipes, and the islands themselves resemble Warp Pipes. The levels in this world often have complex pipe networks within. The kingdom is known to have landscapes, such as plains, deserts, and more, with several pipes. The king wears a Viking's helmet and overall resembles a Nordic Viking. This labyrinthine world is conquered by Ludwig von Koopa, who turns the king of Pipe Land into a Piranha Plant (or a Yoshi in the remakes). All overworld parts of this world's levels have a peach-colored sky. According to Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, World 7 is located to the east of World 1 and to the west of World 6. The Piranha Plant levels serve as the basis of the Super Mario Bros. 3 style's Forest theme in Super Mario Maker 2.

Pipe Land consists of the following levels:

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Pipe Land
Pipe Land in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3.

In The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, Pipe Land, which was again sometimes referred to as the Pipe Maze, appeared in a few episodes. Underneath Pipe Land is vast underground maze filled with pipes and rivers. It is populated by various enemies such as Thwomps, Boo Diddlys, Venus Fire Traps and even Boom Boom.

Oh, Brother!: The first episode where this world is shown as the title card. Using the Power Shower, Kooky and Bowser were scheming to wash all the coins floating around in the underground Pipe World (presumably another name for Pipe Land or a related area) into a dungeon where they could collect them. When the Power Shower sprung a leak, Kooky captured Mario by pulling him through the Pipe World using his Plumber Pole. Kooky then hypnotized Mario using his Lame Brainer so that he would mindlessly repair the invention. Luigi attempted to swim through the Pipe World to rescue Mario, but after being chased by a Boss Bass, he returned to Toad's House to don a Frog Suit. As Frog Luigi, Luigi eluded all the enemies in the Pipe World and found his way to the Koopas' dungeon. After Luigi rescued Mario and defeated the Koopas, the Power Shower was dismantled, and all the stolen coins were returned to the Pipe World.

Misadventure of Mighty Plumber
King Koopa and Mighty Plumber in Pipe Land's underground maze.

Misadventure of Mighty Plumber: The second and final episode where this world is shown as the title card. In this episode, Bowser wanted to rob the Pipe Land Treasury. After Cheatsy brought Mighty Plumber to life from the TV, Bowser tricked him by saying that Mario and Luigi were trying to rob the treasury. Mighty Plumber followed Bowser through Pipe Land's underground maze, keeping Mario and Luigi out of Bowser's hair. After Bowser plundered the vault, he locked Mighty Plumber inside along with Mario and Luigi. With some help assistance from Mario and Luigi, Mighty Plumber escaped, took the coins back, and was returned to the TV. Mario and Luigi later returned the coins to the treasury.

Misadventures in Babysitting: The Pipe Maze was also featured in this episode. Junior, a spoiled child from Brooklyn whom Mario and Luigi accidentally wound up babysitting, found a warp leading to the Mushroom Kingdom. There he quickly befriended Bully, Cheatsy, and Kooky. The Koopalings used Junior as bait to lure Mario and Luigi into a volcano. However, they Koopalings betrayed Junior and tossed him into the Pipe Maze, where he was scared off by various enemies. Eavesdropping on the Koopalings, Mario and Luigi learned about where Junior went, and traveled into the Pipe Maze to find him. At the same time, Kooky began filling the Pipe Maze with lava. However, Mario and Luigi were able to find Raccoon Power, and were able to use it to free Junior from the Pipe Maze.

Nintendo Comics System[edit]

Pipe Land is the setting of the Nintendo Comics System story The Revenge of Pipe Ooze!, which reveals the world hosts The Annual Dirk Drain-Head Role-Playing Game.

Nintendo Adventure Books[edit]

One of the Game Overs in Leaping Lizards has Luigi end up lost and disoriented in Pipe Land if he falls into a body of water and is sucked into a pipe due to having an Anchor in his pocket.

In Pipe Down!, Ludwig von Koopa sets up a base in the Pipe World (possibly Pipe Land or a similar location) and intends on debuting his basketball-themed ballet, Dribbling Beauty, there; using a pair of magic shoes sent to her as a birthday present, Ludwig abducts Princess Toadstool to star in the ballet as the "Prima Slamdunkerina". Along with a stage, Ludwig also has a Piranha Plant string quartet, a giant magical pipe organ, and a jukebox in his secret chamber. The Mario Bros. can reach Pipe World by either going down a tunnel beneath the Mushroom Palace, or by using one they discover in the Koopahari Desert.
