Warping appears in theSuper Mario franchise as an action and a gameplay mechanic in which a character instantly travels from one location to another.Super Mario Bros. is the firstSuper Mario game to feature warping. Warping is most often done through the use ofWarp Pipes. Some installments of theSuper Mario series haveWarp Zones, which allow for even farther travel.

InSuper Mario 64, there is an invisible warp (also known as aWarp Point)[1] in ten of the courses: theBob-omb Battlefield (which has two);Whomp's Fortress;Cool, Cool Mountain;Lethal Lava Land;Shifting Sand Land;Snowman's Land;Wet-Dry World;Tall, Tall Mountain;Tiny-Huge Island; andRainbow Ride. The warps allowMario to quickly travel between distant areas within the same course. InSuper Mario 64 DS, once Mario or another character has warped, three down arrows briefly appear to point to the Touch Screen and show where he has been relocated.

In theDonkey Kong Country series andDonkey Kong Land series, warping is most commonly achieved throughWarp Barrels. In all versions ofDonkey Kong Country, there is a warp behind the very start ofStop & Go Station.Donkey Kong Land also has a few warps at the start ofArctic Barrel Arsenal,Sky High Caper, andSkyscraper Caper. InDonkey Kong 64, warping is done from activatedBananaport Pads, though also within the same area.
