In the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]], pipes take Mario to different places and locations. In ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|its sequel]], [[blue pipe]]s exist which can take Mario to locations that have been previously visited. They can be unlocked in the [[Toad Town Tunnels]] and [[Rogueport Sewers]] respectively by hitting certain switches. [[Mini Warp Pipe]]s make an appearance as well. Generally, Warp Pipes have some sort of special appearance to fit in with their locations. For example, the Warp Pipe in the picture at right is pixelated to fit in with its location in the [[Bitlands]]. Likewise, the Warp Pipes in [[Boggly Woods]] seem to be made of wood, and usually have a hole in the side so that [[Puni]]es can use them more easily. Additionally, when a Warp Pipe is used in ''Super Paper Mario'', instead of normally going straight down, the player's character splits into several small squares which then go down the pipe and reassemble at the other end, likely as a result of how [[Princess Peach]] and [[Bowser]] are too big for the Warp Pipes. Warp Pipes also appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', with [[Green Warp Pipe|one such Warp Pipe]] being a scrap that Mario must use to progress. Warp Pipes also appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', where some Warp Pipes have enemies inside of them that must be fought in order to get through, including a [[Spiny]] and a [[Koopa Troopa]]. Warp Pipes cannot be crossed if they are not fully colored. Also, in [[Mustard Café]], some Warp Pipes spin in the quicksand.
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Warp Pipes are used to take Mario to new areas, and are found throughout the game. [[Blue pipe]]s, which act as shortcuts to previous areas, can be found in the [[Toad Town Tunnels]]. A Warp Pipe hidden in [[Toad Town]] takes Mario to the [[Playroom]], where he can play two minigames.

===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Warp Pipes have the same purpose as in ''Paper Mario''. When using them, a transition effect is added, depicting the screen crinkling and straightening out at the new location. The Warp Pipes in [[Boggly Woods]] seem to be made of wood, and usually have a hole in the side so that [[Puni]]es can use them more easily.
===''Super Paper Mario''===

Warp Pipes reappear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. When a character is about to enter a Warp Pipe, they split into several small squares, which then go down the pipe and reassemble at the other end. A smaller variant called [[Mini Warp Pipes]] appear, and can only be entered if the character has shrunk with [[Dottie]]. Pixelated Warp Pipes appear in [[The Bitlands]], but function the same.

===''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''===
Warp Pipes also appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', functioning the same as in previous titles. [[Green Warp Pipe|One Warp Pipe]] is a scrap that Mario must use to progress in [[Hither Thither Hill]].
===''Paper Mario: Color Splash''===

Warp Pipes also appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', with the same purpose as in previous games. Warp Pipes cannot be entered if they are not fully colored. Some Warp Pipes in [[Daffodil Peak]] contain enemies inside of them that must be fought in order to get through, including a [[Spiny]] and a [[Koopa Troopa]]. At [[Sacred Forest]], a large Warp Pipe has the [[Turnip]] Thing stuck in it. Once it is pulled out by the yellow [[Rescue Squad]], the pipe is also removed from the ground. A small scrap of paper sticks out, and if Mario pulls it, it reveals a smaller Warp Pipe. Another small Warp Pipe appears later in the level, and must be enlarged with the Magnifying Glass Thing. [[Mustard Café]]'s underground sections, contain long spinning Warp Pipes. There is also a tall, orange Warp Pipe that is initially clogged with sand.
