A tiny pipe (also referred to as a gate)[1] is an obstacle in Mario Party 4. They are Warp Pipes that are passable only by becoming Mini from a Mini Mushroom or a Super Mini Mushroom, as the pipe is too small to enter otherwise. Tiny pipes are usable as shortcuts, but they can usually lead to desired spaces or Mini Mini-Games. When the player character arrives at a tiny pipe in their mini form, they are given the option to either enter it or move on.

Tiny pipes are part of Goomba's Game Board and Boo's Game Board in the Mario Party 4 Flash game. They can only be entered if the player has a Mini Mushroom to shrink Mario, unlike Mario Party 4 itself.
