Key Doors make their debut in Super Mario Bros. 2, first appearing in World 1-2. They can only be opened by Keys. If the player picks up a key for a Key Door, a Phanto will chase the player.

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 series

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 Keys can also be used to unlock Key Doors.

Super Mario Run

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 in Minecraft, there is a painting of Key Doors from Super Mario 64.
