In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', they are the main modes of transportation of [[Subcon]], similar to that of [[Warp Pipe]]s from [[Mushroom World]] and the [[Earth|Real World]]; if a character goes down a vase, they will appear in a small room sometimes containing a [[key]] being protected by a [[Phanto]]. In some levels throwing a [[Potion]] on to a vase will allow the player to warp through the [[Worlds]], acting as the [[Warp Zone]]s of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Potions won't work inside vases though. [[Cobrat]]s sometimes lurk in the opening of some vases. Certain vases generate endless streams of enemies like [[Bob-omb]]s or red [[Shy Guy]]s unless their entrances are blocked. Vases made a small appearance in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' course [[Mushroom Kingdom II]], which also took place in Subcon. In ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', some Vases also contain [[Spark]]s and [[Spark Chaser]]s.

Vases appear as background items throughout the [[Shy Guy Bazaar]] course in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. They maintain their original appearance and coloration from ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. If driven into, they break and some items will fly out, namely [[Banana]]s. Some of them can also walk and move around, and they reveal many snakes when broken.
Jars made a small appearance in the background of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' stage [[Mushroom Kingdom II]], which also took place in Subcon. As the stage returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the jars there also return.

Vases of a much different kind later appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', here called '''Pots'''.

One of these pots is even "powered up" by [[Kamek]], forming [[Roger the Potted Ghost]].

Jars,[1][2][3] also known as pipes,[4][5] pots,[6][7] or vases,[8] are objects that first appear in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and later Super Mario Bros. 2.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2 / Super Mario Advance[edit]

Jar

In Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2, jars are the main modes of transportation of Subcon; if a character goes down a jar, they will appear in a small room sometimes containing a key being protected by a Phanto. In some levels, certain jars within Subspace contain a Subspace Warp that allows the player to warp to a further world, acting as the Warp Zones of Super Mario Bros. 2. Magical Potions do not work inside jars, though. Cobrats sometimes lurk in the openings of some jars. Certain jars are Shy Guy Generators[9] and Bob-Omb Generators,[10] which generate endless streams of red Shyguys or Bob-Ombs, respectively, unless their entrances are blocked. In Super Mario Advance, some jars also contain Sparks and Spark Chasers, as well as (sometimes Shyguy-ridden) Ferris wheel platforms, and one contains a bouncing blade; jars were also added to levels in that version, and certain closed-off jars in previous versions were opened.

BS Super Mario USA[edit]

Jars also appear in the pseudo-sequel, BS Super Mario USA, and can be used in the same way as in Super Mario Bros. 2. In Subspace, jars lead Mario to Wart in order to battle him.

Super Mario Sunshine[edit]

Jars[11] appear in a hidden room in Noki Bay, underneath Gooper Blooper's boss arena. Spraying water into one of the two largest jars makes it release a blue coin.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Jars made a small appearance in the background of the Super Smash Bros. Melee stage Mushroom Kingdom II, which also took place in Subcon. As the stage returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the jars there also return.

Mario Pinball Land[edit]

Four jars appear on the first pyramid interior board of the Shifting Sands Stage in Mario Pinball Land. In this appearance, they have earthy colors and diamond shapes on their pattern. They cannot be interacted with as their corners are elevated, but Snakes come out of them if the middle floor panel is activated.
