The '''Warp Pipe''' (also referred to simply as a '''Pipe''' or a '''Tube''') is one of the main modes of transportation of the [[Mario (series)|series]]. Generally speaking, a Warp Pipe is a pipe that doesn't always appear to be connected to a second pipe physically, although traveling through it will transport the traveler to the other end. In many cases, Warp Pipes can be used to cross great distances (and even worlds) instantly, while some pipes can't 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 [[Bowser]]'s [[airship]] to travel through. They are traditionally green, but have appeared in many colors in lesser numbers over the years. Red pipes usually lead to secret zones.
==History==

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
[[File:PiTWarpPipe.PNG|200px|thumb|Right|A pipe in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''.]]
During the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', special blue Warp Pipes require Mario, Luigi, [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] to stand on them in order to activate them. Also, when Mario and Luigi are separated from Baby Mario and Luigi, one of the brothers can jump up and hit a Warp Pipe box, out of which a miniature pipe comes and plants itself in the ground. It then grows to the size of a normal pipe allowing either pair of bros. to jump in and be reunited with the babies. If used while both bros. are near each other, the pipe jumps up and back into the block.
====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', [[Bowser]] inhales several Warp Pipes. In this game, they are used as a link between [[Bowser's Body]] and the Mushroom Kingdom. They are the only way to get the Mario brothers out of Bowser's body, and they can be found in the [[Pipe Yard]]. Bowser cannot jump into these. A [[Special Attack]] called [[Spin Pipe]] is used in this game as well.
====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', special, gold colored Warp Pipes appear scattered throughout [[Pi'illo Island]]. These special pipes act similar to the ones in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' where they connect to different parts of the island. Standard green Warp Pipes also appear, usually leading to cave areas. Like the previous installments, both Mario and Luigi must stand on the Warp Pipe to enter it.
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
[[File:Mariossbb-lets-a-go.jpg|thumb|left|Mario jumping out of a Warp Pipe in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.]]
At the beginnings of matches in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] enter the stage via a Warp Pipe, similar to how Mario does so at the beginning of ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Also, in some ''Mario'' stages such as [[Mushroomy Kingdom]], Warp Pipes appear, though they cannot be entered, especially since they are closed with gates.

*Warp Pipes are often referenced in other media, whether it's just characters sliding down pipes, or pipes that actively warp them to different areas, such as in ''[[wikipedia:The Simpsons Game|The Simpsons Game]]'', where there is a whole level based on other video games: in multiple parts of that level, the player has to jump into a Warp Pipe to advance further into the level.
**A green pipe is an exclusive item in two games in the ''[[wikipedia:Animal Crossing|Animal Crossing]]'' series. In the original ''Animal Crossing'', the item makes the Warp Pipe sound when touched. In ''Animal Crossing: City Folk'', it has a [[Piranha Plant]] inside that moves up and down. The Piranha Plant will stop moving if the player taps it once again after activating it.
*In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', and ''[[Super Mario
**In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', crouching on the edge of a pipe will suck Mario/Luigi the center and make them enter it in a similar way.
*In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' when [[Mini Mario]] enters a small Warp Pipe, he will exit out of a normal-sized one. This is done to prevent glitching in multiplayer modes, since only one player needs to be mini to get all of the players into the pipe, and the game may glitch if normal-sized players exited through a mini pipe.
*In the main sidescrolling games, [[Larry Koopa]] is so far the only [[Koopaling]] to never have a boss fight that uses a pipe in any form.
*One makes an appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for Game Boy's ending. Mario briefly jumps out of one.
*The popular smartphone app ''[[wikipedia:Flappy Bird|Flappy Bird]]'' features pipes that are nearly identical to Warp Pipes.
*In the [[Wii U]] game ''[[wikipedia:Lego City Undercover|Lego City Undercover]]'', a Warp Pipe is used to get to Lady Liberty Island. A [[Venus Fire Trap]] also resides in a pipe, but it can not be entered.
