Blue pipe

The Blue Pipe is an item found in Mario Pinball Land. These items can help Mario from losing a life or from leaving the area Mario is supposed to be. They usually appear when the player went into a new area as they appear between the flippers the player controls. It can be obtained by buying it from Toad, or hitting a ? Block.

Trivia

 * Blue Pipes also appear in the first two game in the Paper Mario series, where they are primarily used to connect the sewer area of the main hub (Toad Town Tunnels and Rogueport Sewers) to various locations visited throughout the game.
