Variant ofWarp Pipe

Shrinker Pipes[1] are objects inSuper Mario 64 andSuper Mario 64 DS, exclusively in the levelTiny-Huge Island. Though they look visually similar toWarp Pipes and use the same sound effects, they do not transport the player anywhere. Instead, they change the user's size, making them either much larger or much smaller than their surroundings. However, a Shrinker Pipe changes to be the size of the player, and the player looks the same size on the screen, leading to the illusion of the island itself shrinking or growing. Using a Shrinker Pipe also resets certain events, such as the race withKoopa the Quick, allowing them to be reattempted without exiting the stage. In total, there are three Shrinker Pipes: One is located near thelevel's start, on the same platform as theSmall Piranhas orPiranha Flowers; a second is located at the base of the mountain, above the source of theiron balls; and the third is located on the opposite corner of the island from the level's start, at the point where the race with Koopa the Quick ends.

Magic Doors fromSuper Mario Bros. 3 provide a similar function forthe similar world in that game.
