In the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], Warp Pipes (usually referred to as simply "pipes") appear as simple obstacles on the courses, especially on the [[Mario Circuit]]s. They act as walls, in that racers who drive into them slow down significantly or even come to a stop; however, the pipes can be taken out by several means, such as hitting them with a powerful item (e.g. a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]) or driving into them while powered-up by a [[Super Star]], [[Bullet Bill]], or other condition-changing item. [[Piranha Plant]]s can also be in pipes in courses like [[GCN Yoshi Circuit]]. On some occasions, mostly in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', the player can enter a pipe and get warped to another area, which is mainly for the purpose of collecting [[Item Box]]es. This also happens in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', but only in [[Pipe Plaza]], since it is a battle course that originated in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''. | In the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], Warp Pipes (usually referred to as simply "pipes") appear as simple obstacles on the courses, especially on the [[Mario Circuit]]s.

In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', cannon-like pipes are used to obtain various random items.

The player can pull down and release such a pipe to fire out drivers, karts, gliders, and balloons, as well as inventory items ([[coin]]s, [[Ruby|rubies]], and tickets). Each pipe has a set pool of items it can draw from, which may depend on the method the pipe is unlocked. Generally, green pipes can give out items of all kinds, while gold pipes guarantee at least one High-End item of any kind; however, the All-Clear Pipe, unlocked by completing all courses and bonus challenges in a tour, only ever gives out a High-End driver, kart, or glider, and does not feature balloons or inventory items. Pipes appear as rewards from Tour Gifts, multiplayer races, and Premium Challenges, while also being purchasable from the Token Shop using [[event token]]s. Prior to the [[Battle Tour]], the Shop featured pipes that unlocked spotlight items, with 5 rubies needed to fire one such pipe once and 45 to fire the pipe ten times. | ||
Within races, pipes appear as obstacles and ramps. In regular races (i.e. not in bonus challenges), those that act as obstacles grant bonus points when taken out. Pipes can also release various things, such as [[Goomba]]s (as seen in [[3DS Toad Circuit|3DS Toad Circuit R/T]]), [[Item Box]]es (in some [[Break Item Boxes]] bonus challenges), [[Wind|air currents]], or [[Current|underwater currents]]. A course themed around Warp Pipes, [[Piranha Plant Pipeline]], debuted in this game during the aptly named [[Pipe Tour]]. | Within races, pipes appear as obstacles and ramps.
