'''Key Doors''' (also known as '''Locked Doors''') are doors the player cannot enter unless they have collected a [[key]]. Locked doors usually have the appearance of a regular [[Warp Door]] with a keyhole.

Key Doors make their debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They can only be opened by [[Key]]s. If the player picks up a key for a Key Door, a [[Phanto]] will chase the player.

Keys in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' are used to open Key Doors that lead to new courses, and in the [[Super Mario 64 DS|DS remake]], Key Doors that hold [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Wario]], and a secret [[Power Star]].

Key Doors appear in the [[Ghostly Galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', where they automatically open as soon as Mario or Luigi obtains a key. In the case of the "[[Matter Splatter Mansion]]" mission, multiple Key Doors can be unlocked at once with one key.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====

Key Doors were introduced in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' in the version 1.40 update, and available at the start in ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. They can be produced by shaking a [[P Warp Door]] (which in turn is created by shaking a [[Warp Door]]). They also appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', with the same function as in the previous game. As of version 3.0.0 of ''Super Mario Maker 2'', [[Cursed Key]]s can also be used to unlock Key Doors.

[[File:SMRlockeddoor.png|10px|right|frame]] Key Doors appear in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' in the level [[Boohind Lock and Key]], where they can only be opened with keys. Once entered, Key Doors cannot be entered again. Key Doors resemble Ghost House doors from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', but with a keyhole in the center.

Key Doors appear again in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', behaving like in previous ''Mario'' games.

==Trivia==

*In the original ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', once a Key Door is unlocked, it disappears. In the remakes, only the keyhole disappears by transforming them into normal swing-open Warp Doors.

*In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in ''[[Minecraft]]'', there is a painting of Key Doors from ''Super Mario 64''.
