Gate (Mario Party 4)

A gate (also generically referred to in plural as pipes) is a type of Warp Pipe that serves as a board obstacle in Mario Party 4. Gates have a small hole that can be passed through by players that used a Mini Mushroom or a Super Mini Mushroom. They often lead to desired spaces or Mini Mini-Games or can simply be used as shortcuts. When the player goes past a gate with a Mini Mushroom activated on the character (or the MiniMega Hammer), an option of turning, such as an extra path, shows up. The player can decide to simply ignore it or enter.

Gates make an appearance in the Mario Party 4 Flash game on Goomba's Game Board and Boo's Game Board. They serve the same function as Mario Party 4, allowing the player through traverse through only if they have a Mini Mushroom to shrink Mario.
