Warp Pipe

A Warp Pipe, also named Pipe, is a recurring object throughout the Mario franchise and related media. It first appears in the arcade game Mario Bros..
==Description==
In the , Warp Pipes are used to travel enemies around. Since Super Mario Bros., the main purpose of Warp Pipes is to transport Mario, Luigi, and other characters to another destination, reached from exiting the other end of the Warp Pipe. Some Warp Pipes cannot be re-entered from the other end. Warp Pipes are typically green, but they have also appeared in colors such as red or yellow.
The distance traveled through a Warp Pipe varies for each one. Some Warp Pipes take the user a long distance, including between worlds, and others do shorter distances. Some Warp Pipes only send the user straight underground, where there is usually one to take them above ground. A Warp Pipe usually faces in either of the four cardinal directions, and certain ones appear in midair.
Warp Pipes come in varying sizes, although most are slightly wider than the average human. In , some courses have Warp Pipes that characters can drive through.
Piranha Plants are often found inhabiting a Warp Pipe. In the , they have a pattern of moving in and out of one. If Mario or another playable character stands either on top or next to the pipe, the Piranha Plant does not emerge. Piranha Plants have a variant named Red Piranha Plants that ignore this and emerge regardless, making them harder to avoid than regular Piranha Plants.
