Title: Wonder what it's like inside a Warp Pipe...
Post by: Mario Maniac on June 22, 2002, 02:40:28 PM
I've always wondered what it would be like inside a Warp Pipe. It must be very damp and mucky in there, since Pipes are where the sewage from the Mushroom Kingdom gets transported... [At least that's what they say in Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario...]

Mario must plug his nose when he enters Pipes, since the smell of traveling through all that sewage must be unbearable...

Mario probably built them because he was tired of coming up through his toilet. The last straw might have been when he came up while Luigi was taking a sh*t

he wouldn't notice the smell since he's going about 100,000 mph, so i imagine it's very breezy and you hear deut deut deut all the time.

(sorry about that post, I just like to act stupid)

Ever notice that sewer water is oddly clean in the Mario games? I mean, there's even freaking FISH swimming around in the sewer in Mario RPG. The Mushroom Kingdom must use outhouses or something instead, maybe they didn't like all the newfangled plumbing.

They probably have two sewers, one of them they never use, all the septic tanks are emptied into the other one. Mario can use the unused sewer for Warp Pipes.

What's it like inside a Warp Pipe? Well, think of the kind of acceleration you get on a REALLY fast roller-coaster, but times ten. This gives the transportee immense motion sickness at first, but you get used to it. And, not all Warp Pipes transport sewage around, so it can't be all that smelly. (By the way, I know this because I talked to a mushroom growing in my garden, and it told me.)

Mario is the only true path

Maybe the Warp Pipes are invisible to the untrained eye.

I wonder what it's like to be able to communicate with fungi. That sounds cool. Kind of like the Gift of Gab, only it's a kind of plant instead of animals.

Maybe I'll make that my sig. Nah.

Mario, Mario, Mario! What happened to Mr. Andretti?

Its probably a pipe  with a ladder you can climb down(Or if you're an idiot you can jump down) and end up in the sewers...HAHA HA HAHA!

It warps you. You don't feel it. You people really don't understand the concept of "warping".

Okay frostbite, explain to us then. What exactly is "warping"?

Look: The pipes that lead into the sewers are not "Warp Pipes". They're just pipes. The whole warping thing is when you jump into the pipe and are instantly transported to someplace else. In SMB3, World 1, Level 2, in the floating pipe with the Pirana plant in it, when you go inside, you're in this large chamber. Now, you don't see any large chamber on the outside. You know why? The pipe warps you to the chamber.

In my dream, the world had suffered a terrible disaster. A black haze shut out the sun, and the darkness was alive with the moans and screams of wounded people.
Suddenly, a small light glowed. A candle flickered into life, symbol of hope for millions. A single tiny candle, shining in the ugly dark. I laughed, and blew it out.

This was a rather interesting and entertaining topic... so I brought it back.
I thought newer members might like to comment here.
Yeah, it's like when Fox warps in SFA. Like a transporter...

I wonder, if you really didn't warp you got so fast that your skin would peel off.

This is a strange topic about an important idea I never thought of.

I've never really thought that the pipes were actually tunnels. I've always assumed they were kind of... magic.

The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.

That's what I think. Like, you jump in a pipe, and you're somewhere else. Hmm... maybe they're tesseracts. That would be cool.
It's interesting... warping is one of the most common but least understood concepts in video games.
But like have you seen the parts of Star Fox Adventures where Fox uses a warp pad? There's a flash of light, and then he's gone. Somewhere else. I think it's pretty much the same in Warp Pipes...

I think when you go down a Warp Pipe its like a slide.They all connect at the bottom & you just go a random route.Like you could probably buy a Warp Pipe,stick it in the ground & jump in it!(Why cant Mario be real....)

Do you know when we die,we''ll be boos too?

You WARP, not slide. Warping is like a transporter.

You slide down then you do this really high jump out of the Warp Pipe.It can be a slide if it wants....

Warp-piping is not random because it always warps you to the same destination.  However there IS some kind of random-warp: Warp Spaces from Mario Party 4!  (hum, I wonder if Miyamoto is reading this..)

The Mario Party  "Warp Block" does more or less the same: it switches your position with another carachter.  The MP4 Warp Pipe is just a warp block shaped like a pipe.
