'''Clear Pipes''' are pipes | '''Clear Pipes''' are pipes that make their debut in the [[Wii U]] game ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. Like [[Warp Pipe]]s, they are used for traveling distances too far for a normal [[jump]] to reach. Unlike Warp Pipes, however, Clear Pipes are transparent, and the player can change direction while in one. Additionally, the player automatically enters vertical Clear Pipes without having to press a button. | ||
While traveling through Clear Pipes, the player cannot attack and is therefore vulnerable to any enemies inside them. Some enemies and projectiles such as [[fireball]]s can travel through Clear Pipes. These projectiles can be destroyed by (other) fireballs or nearby red [[POW Block]]s from outside the pipes. [[Coin]]s, [[Green Star]]s, [[Mine]]s and other objects can also be found either moving or stationary inside these pipes. | While traveling through Clear Pipes, the player cannot attack and is therefore vulnerable to any enemies inside them.

These Clear Pipes are similar to [[Launch Star]]s and [[Sling Star]]s from the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' games, as they launch the player to another part of the [[level]]. Some of these pipes require the player to manually press {{button|A}} to launch themselves out of the cannon. | ||
All of the [[ | All of the [[world]]s, with the exception of the special worlds, are connected through Clear Pipes. Once a [[Sprixie Princess]] is saved from the [[castle]] at the end of a world, she will construct a Clear Pipe leading to the next world. | ||

In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', Clear Pipes appear as course elements for the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style. Like in the original game, Mario can shoot fireballs into them, and enemies such as [[Goomba]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s can travel through them as well. However, entering vertical ones requires using {{button|ns|leftstick}}, unlike in the original game; also, colliding with enemies within Clear Pipes is harmless.

If both ends of a Clear Pipe are blocked while the player is inside, the player will be trapped and die. | ||
