Clear Pipe Cannons are objects in Super Mario 3D World, its port, and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. They are similar to Pipe Cannons but appear on the ends of certain Clear Pipes, where they launch characters to new sections of a level. 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. The opposite ends of the pipes they are on have stoppers, preventing characters from going backwards through them once used. Other Clear Pipes have outward cannons at the exit, which, when entered via the opposite mouth of the pipe, must be fired manually, and launch players on a path through the air. These Clear Pipe Cannons cannot be entered through the cannon end.
