Warp Pipes have appeared in nearly every [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' game]] since, and some of them can be entered by pressing {{button|Paddown}}, or {{button|Padup}} and a jump button (for upside-down pipes); some Warp Pipes are found protruding from walls, and can be entered simply by having Mario walk into them, or swim if underwater. However, in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', they are temporarily replaced with [[jar]]s. These pipes are first used for transportation in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Some even lead to underground levels and bonus rooms. [[Piranha Plant]]s can also be found in many pipes and are potentially hazardous.

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', some Warp Pipes act as [[Pipe Cannon|mini-cannons]], shooting Mario or Luigi high into the air. This feature is retained in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Also, if Mario or Luigi uses the [[Mega Mushroom]], they can kick a pipe, breaking it off if it is vertical (or pushing it in if it is horizontal), or [[Ground Pound]] it to make a vertical pipe lower to ground level. However, if Mega Mario or Luigi destroys a pipe, they cannot go down it anymore, though it fills up the meter at the top of the screen by a significant amount, resulting in some [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. Tiny variants, called '''Mini Warp Pipes'''{{ref needed}}, are introduced in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'': they are half the size of a regular Warp Pipe. They could not be entered until ''New Super Mario Bros.'', though, as they require Mario or Luigi to use a [[Mini Mushroom]] to get [[Mini Mario (form)|tiny]] so they can enter. Inside these Mini Warp Pipes, [[Star Coin]]s can usually be found. Warp Pipes often come in many different colors, namely green, red, yellow, and blue. In the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, red pipes usually lead to [[Goal Pole (secret)|secret exits]].

Warp Pipes in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' serve basically the same purpose as they did in the predecessor. Some Warp Pipes tend to appear far more frequently on the ceiling of the inside sections of many planets and [[Galaxy|galaxies]], mainly in the [[Rightside Down Galaxy]] and the [[Upside Dizzy Galaxy]].

In the [[Wii U]] game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', Warp Pipes appear and work the same way as in other games, and [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]] can enter mini Warp Pipes like in previous games. The player can go down or up pipes with {{button|Stick}} or {{button|wii|Pad}}. Some Pipes face diagonally, and cannot be entered.
