Themysterious pipe^[1] is a specialWarp Pipe that transportsMario andLuigi to theMushroom Kingdom and theDark Lands, respectively, inThe Super Mario Bros. Movie. The pipe is located underground inBrooklyn in the utility tunnel, where the brothers end up after breaking through a brick wall in the sewers. Unlike regular Warp Pipes, the mysterious pipe sucks up things into it and transports them through theWarp Zone^[2] "into a magical new world." While in the Warp Zone, the brothers get transported through a transparent tunnel, but they get separated and sent into two different kingdoms. Also unlike regular Warp Pipes, the mysterious pipe flashes when things come in or out of it.

At the end of the movie during theBomber Bill pursuit scene, Mario tricks it into flying inside the mysterious pipe. The Bomber Bill shrinks and explodes while inside the Warp Zone. This causes a shockwave at first, which damages Mario but then starts to suck everyone and everything into it, including the characters andBowser's ship, transporting them to Brooklyn.
