'''Warp Zone''' is a secret [[world]] in {{a|SMB3|l}}. It is numbered as '''World 9''' of the [[Mushroom World]] in-game, though no actual [[level]]s exist on it.

If the Magic Whistle is used in Worlds 7 through 9, the player can choose only {{id|World 8|SMB3}} (thus using another Magic Whistle while already in Warp Zone will lead to the World 8 section). Because of this, even though there are three Magic Whistles in the game, only two are needed to warp directly to World 8.

In order to get to the Warp Zone, the player must use the [[Warp Whistle]]. Where the player ends up is dependant on the world he used the Warp Whistle in; using a Warp Whistle while they're already in the Warp Zone leads them to the section leading to World 8.
== Geography==
The Warp Zone consists of a small island, littered with Warp Pipes leading to other Worlds. Any other geography cannot be defined, due to there being no actual levels.

Warp Zone is a secret world in Super Mario Bros. 3. It is numbered as World 9 of the Mushroom World in-game, though no actual levels exist on it. The purpose of the Warp Zone, as in other games, is to skip to another world, and it can be accessed only with a Magic Whistle. It consists of an island with Warp Pipes leading to other worlds. Warp Zone plays the same theme as in Coin Heaven and the sky section of Sky Land. The lane where the player is taken to depends on which world the Magic Whistle was used in. If the Magic Whistle is used in World 1, the player can choose from Worlds 2 through 4. If the Magic Whistle is used in Worlds 2 through 6, the player can choose from Worlds 5 through 7. If the Magic Whistle is used in Worlds 7 through 9, the player can choose only World 8 (thus using another Magic Whistle while already in Warp Zone will lead to the World 8 section). Because of this, even though there are three Magic Whistles in the game, only two are needed to warp directly to World 8.

Original versions have an exploit allowing players to warp from World 6 backward to World 5, and it is also possible to restart Worlds 5, 6, and 8 by warping to themselves. This exploit was patched in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, where warping to the same world continues the player where they had left off.
