Midway Gates[1] are checkpoints in Super Mario World and its reissue. They appear as two blue-and-white striped posts, linked by a piece of white tape, thus looking like smaller versions of the Giant Gates in the same game. Midway Gates appear near the middle of many courses, excluding auto-scrolling, underwater, Star World, and Special Zone courses. In the reissue, Midway Gates also appear in underwater courses. When Mario or Luigi passes through a Midway Gate, the tape disappears, and he is respawned at the Midway Gate if the player loses a life in the course. If Mario or Luigi cuts the tape when in his Small form, he turns into Super Mario or Super Luigi, respectively. When the player restarts at the Midway Gate, the tape is missing.
In Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2, Checkpoint Flags replace the Midway Gates in the Super Mario World style.
