A '''keyhole'''<ref>''Super Mario World'' English instruction booklet, pages 6 and 21.</ref> (also formatted in uppercase)<ref>''Nintendo Power'' volume 28, page 16.</ref> is a secret [[level]] passage in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]]. Every level represented by a red dot on the map signifies the level has a secret exit; in most such levels, the secret exit is through a keyhole. While lacking a red dot, several [[Ghost House]]s also have secret exits, with one among them being via a keyhole as well. To achieve a secret exit via a keyhole, the player must find a [[key]] (usually hidden in the main course somewhere) and bring it to the keyhole. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] is riding [[Yoshi]], Yoshi can hold the key in his mouth and simply walk to the keyhole. When activated by the key, the keyhole grows in size and swallows up Mario or Luigi, along with Yoshi if the player is riding him.

One keyhole is also featured in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' animated television series]] during part of the episode "[[Mama Luigi]]." Yoshi, who is a [[Baby Yoshi]] at this point, eats a key held by [[Bowser|King Koopa]]. After King Koopa flees, Yoshi spits it out into a nearby keyhole on the wall. The action of the two coming into contact suddenly transports Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] back to [[Dome City]].
