**'''Normal Pipes: '''These pipes do nothing. Nothing at all. In fact, the only difference between these and normal terrain is that these can be destroyed by a rampaging Mega Mario. | **'''Normal Pipes: '''These pipes do nothing. Nothing at all.

**'''Warp Pipes: '''These pipes are much more useful. They can warp Mario from one end of the pipe to the other (though not always back). Mario, after going through one of these can end up anywhere from underground with a giant man-eating plant to up in the sky with a moving platform. Because Warp Pipes look exactly like other pipes, sometimes you can benefit from trying to enter every pipe you encounter, in case you discover one that warps you to a bonus, Star Coin, or alternate exit. | **'''Warp Pipes: '''These pipes are much more useful.

***'''Mini Warp Pipes''' are exactly like normal Warp Pipes, only they are small. In fact, they are so small that only Mini Mario can fit through them. Usually, on the other side there is a place tailor-made for Mini Mario. | ***'''Mini Warp Pipes''' are exactly like normal Warp Pipes, only they are small.

****A few courses have decorative Mini Pipes that do not warp; typically a lone Mini Pipe will warp, but if there are two or more Mini Pipes near each other, then they will not warp. | |||

**'''Waterjet Pipes: '''Only found underwater, these pipes jet out a constant stream of water, signified by bubbles pouring out of the pipe. This jetstream will push Mario away from the pipe. This can either help or harm Mario, depending on the circumstances. | **'''Waterjet Pipes: '''Only found underwater, these pipes jet out a constant stream of water, signified by bubbles pouring out of the pipe.

** Some blocks contain multiple coins. To take the most coins, try to hit the block as rapidly as possible. If you hit such a block very rapidly, a Super Mushroom will come out after the coins. If you have room above such a block, have Mario ground pound on the block and hold the D-pad down to always obtain the most coins and get the Super Mushroom! | ** Some blocks contain multiple coins.

**'''? Block: '''Almost exactly the same as normal blocks, the only difference is these have either a coin, a 1-up mushroom or a power-up inside. Some of these blocks have Fire Flowers inside, except that if you hit it while you are Small or Mini Mario, the block will only contain a Super Mushroom. A few levels have a ?
