5 whistles?
Somebody once told me he saw someone get 5 whistles. Does anyone know anything about this? Zoidberg 09:34, 18 April 2007 (EDT)


 * Sounds like a lie. There are only three Warp Whistles in the game. -- Son of Suns

I thought so to, but I thought I'd check. I though maybe it was some sort of game genie thing or something.Zoidberg 09:54, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

Is the fourth Warp Whistle real?

This video is a response to the alleged Fourth Warp Whistle trick from the Japanese release, and comes to the conclusion that the World 5-1 glitch will not yield a Warp Whistle. This glitch may need further testing because it may not be legit. LinkTheLefty 16:42, 14 March 2012 (EDT)

More Whistles?
Here is a letter from Princess Peach received at the end of Ice Land:

Greetings,

I am well. Please retrieve the Magic Whistle hidden in the darkness at the end of the Third World. I have enclosed a jewel that helps protect you.

Princess Toadstool.

Is this a mistake or are there more than three Warp Whistles? Also, in the letter received at the end of Giant Land, the princess says "The thief who stole the Whistle has escaped to the east side of the Sand Dunes." However, any level with sand is in Desert Land, two worlds earlier! So... how come Mario gets this hint after he can't make use of it? Is there some way to go backwards?

 * Third World can be referring to the third level, that's what I think. For the latter, I believe if Mario can't go backward, it's meant as a hint if the player replays the game. 21:38, 6 September 2016 (EDT)

Warp Whistle or Recorder
I want to move this, but I think it should be discussed about before moving. The main reason I want to move this is the warp whistle makes an appearance in Paper Mario: Color Splash in the Super Mario Bros. 3 style. It becomes a recorder if squeezed. I think a move makes more sense. I want to hear from some people before doing so. 14:24, 1 October 2016 (EDT)
 * I disagree, since the name Warp Whistle comes from Super Mario Bros. 3, and remains so throughout all of the games remakes such as Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance 4, which are all main series games, while Paper Mario: Color Splash is just a single spin-off game. 14:36, 1 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Paper Mario: Color Splash also shows the Recorder in its 8-bit sprite when it first appears, and it is dedicated with a "From the Developers!" note in the digital manual. I think it makes perfect sense - it's actually the original name, but the Magic/Warp Whistle terminology lost that connection. Technically, the article should be renamed anyway since "Warp Whistle" seems to come from a later guide and "Magic Whistle" is directly used in one of the princess letters and overall more consistent, though "Recorder" should really get title priority.
