'''Clear Pipes''' are pipes which 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.

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.

A [[Clear Pipe Cannon|cannon variety]] of Clear Pipes also appear. 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 [[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.

Clear Pipes reappear in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]] acting the same as in ''Super Mario 3D World''. Their cannon variety also reappears.

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 the Clear Pipe are blocked while the player is inside, the player will be trapped and die.

In ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury#Bowser's Fury|Bowser's Fury]]'', Clear Pipes are the main gimmick of [[Pipe Path Tower]]. In this area, Mario has to travel through different Clear Pipe paths to reach the top to collect a [[Cat Shine]]. [[Blue Coin]]s and [[Cat Shine Shard]]s can also be found inside Clear Pipes.

The idea of Clear Pipes was thought of by the director of ''Super Mario 3D World'', [[Koichi Hayashida]], who wondered what [[Mario]] did in Warp Pipes.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JooUqPF2Lf4 Wii U Developer Direct - Super Mario 3D World @E3 2013].
