'''Magic Doors'''<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13. Page 41.</ref><ref>The ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Player's Guide. Page 60.</ref> (or '''magic doors''')<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13. Page 40.</ref> are special [[Warp Door|doors]] that appear only in [[World 4-6 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 4-6]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and its [[reissue]]s in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Upon the player entering one of the doors, the [[List of enemies|enemies]] and scenery ([[block]]s and [[Warp Pipe]]s) of [[Giant Land]] are replaced by their normal-sized counterparts. Likewise, entering a Magic Door when the normal-sized enemies and scenery are in effect reverts the [[level]] to its giant-sized form.

The two variations of World 4-6 also have a few minor differences in terms of [[Hidden Block]]s and [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. As such, players can explore different segments of the level in both sizes to find additional bonuses. However, the Magic Doors of the level are entirely optional and can be ignored if the player chooses to do so.

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', [[Shrinker Pipe]]s on [[Tiny-Huge Island]] provide a similar function to Magic Doors.
