Greater location Spy Land

The Tunnel of Doom is a cavernous tunnel located underneath Koopfinger's hideout in Spy Land. In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "On Her Majesty's Sewer Service", Mario and Luigi are dropped into the tunnel after Vampa White spins the "Tunnel of Doom" space while playing Wheel of Misfortune.

The tunnel itself is a rather dark place, kept alit by torches on the walls. Known inhabitants of the Tunnel of Doom include a Goomba, Piranha Plants, and a Spark. Escape from the tunnel is fairly difficult, as the only way in is through being dropped down from above. As such, one needs to find a way to reach the high opening in order to escape from the tunnel.

Naming[edit]

The Tunnel of Doom's name is a reference to the American action-adventure film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
