Super Mario Maker

In Super Mario Maker, Warp Doors can be used as course elements. They transport the player to a different area of the level. Up to 8 doors (4 per area) can be placed in the level. As of the 1.20 update (November 2015), players can knock multiple times the door at the Course Maker to reveal Weird Mario. The 1.30 update introduces a variation: The P Warp Door that cannot be activated until pressing a P Switch. Another variation introduced on the 1.40 update (March 2016) is the Key Door; they can only be opened with a Key, another feature introduced in this update. If 2 to 8 Key Doors are present, the player must find 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 Keys to open the respective doors.

Wario: Master of Disguise

The Warp Door as it is seen in Wario: Master of Disguise.

Warp Doors have appeared in Wario: Master of Disguise. When Wario transforms into Arty Wario, he can draw a Warp Door. In order for it to appear, Wario must draw a large square with a line going through it, making the door appear. On top of the Warp Door is a pumpkin-like statue that is shown to be alive. The Warp Door takes Wario to the last save area he saved in.
