'''Warping''' is an action in which a character warps from one location to another. The first ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' game to feature warping is ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' The characters most often use [[Warp Pipe]]s to quickly travel from one location to the other. Some installments of the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series have [[Warp Zone]]s allowing for even further travel.

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', there is an invisible warp in ten of the courses: [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] (which has two), [[Whomp's Fortress]], [[Cool, Cool Mountain]], [[Lethal Lava Land]], [[Shifting Sand Land]], [[Snowman's Land]], [[Wet-Dry World]], [[Tall, Tall Mountain]], [[Tiny-Huge Island]], and [[Rainbow Ride]]. They allow [[Mario]] to quickly travel between distant areas within the same course. In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', once Mario or another character has warped, three down arrows briefly appear to point to the Touch Screen and show where they have been relocated.

In the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' series, this action is done through [[Warp Barrel]]s, although some [[bonus room]]s can indirectly be used as small warps because the exit back into the main level is often farther from the start. In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', warping is done from activated [[Bananaport Pad]]s, though also within the same area.
