Worm hole

In physics, a worm hole or time slip is a hypothetical feature of space time that is basically a shortcut through space and time (although a time slip is just a shortcut through time that may take one backwards or forwards). Worm holes are utilized for transportation because of their unique ability to take a person anywhere in the universe (and anywhere in time) faster than the speed of light. Worm holes are a feature of both the Mario series and the real world.

Some examples of worm holes in use are in DK: Jungle Climber where worm holes were used to take Donkey Kong to odd worlds. While in the Club Nintendo comic "Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit" Mario was transported through time and space to places such as Hösndösn with the use of a worm hole, or time slip. A worm hole was also used in the N-Gang comic "Freeze Frame" where Big B. was transported through a worm hole to the icy landscape that featured the ice castle. In Captain N: The Game Master, Kevin Keene was transported to Videoland through a mystical vortext presumably a worm hole.

In Super Paper Mario, a type of worm hole called Squarp Holes appears in Outer Space.
