Clear Pipe Cannons[1] are objects similar to Pipe Cannons that appear in Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. As the name suggests, they appear on the ends of certain Clear Pipes, and they are used to launch characters to new sections of a level, without allowing return. After one player enters a Clear Pipe Cannon, all other players are drawn into it after a short time, as with Warp Pipes or Warp Boxes.
Inward-facing Clear Pipe Cannons at the entrance of a Clear Pipe automatically launch players forward through the pipe shortly after being entered.
