A '''Warp Pipe''' (or '''warp pipe'''), also known as simply a '''Pipe''' (or '''pipe'''), is a common mode of transportation in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. Generally speaking, a Warp Pipe is a pipe that does not always appear to be connected to a second pipe physically, although traveling through it transports the traveler to the other end. In many cases, Warp Pipes can be used to cross great distances (and even [[world]]s) instantly, while some pipes cannot even transport anything. The size of Warp Pipes can vary greatly. While some are too narrow for a human to enter, others are large enough for a [[kart]] or [[Bowser's Airship]] to travel through. They are typically green, but they have appeared in many other colors less frequently.

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', some Warp Pipes act as [[Pipe Cannon|mini-cannons]], shooting Mario or Luigi high into the air. This feature is retained in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Also, if Mario or Luigi uses the [[Mega Mushroom]], they can kick a pipe, breaking it off if it is vertical (or pushing it in if it is horizontal), or [[Ground Pound]] it to make a vertical pipe lower to ground level. However, if Mega Mario or Luigi destroys a pipe, they cannot go down it anymore, though it fills up the meter at the top of the screen by a significant amount, resulting in some [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. [[Small pipe]]s are introduced in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'': they are half the size of a regular Warp Pipe. They could not be entered until ''New Super Mario Bros.'', though, as they require Mario or Luigi to use a [[Mini Mushroom]] to get [[Mini Mario (form)|tiny]] so they can enter. Inside these small pipes, [[Star Coin]]s can usually be found. Warp Pipes often come in many different colors, namely green, red, yellow, and blue. In the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, red pipes usually lead to [[Goal Pole (secret)|secret exits]].

Warp Pipes appear in the [[Luigi's Engine Room]] board in ''[[Mario Party]]''.  They are located at the ends of different paths on the board, and all connect to a single Warp Pipe at the far right side of the board, leading to [[Boo]], [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]], and the [[Start Space]]. A Warp Pipe is also used to access the main game mode in [[Village Square|Mushroom Village]]; once chosen, [[Toad]] appears to be falling through an endless tunnel until all the game settings have been set.
