The '''Pipe Vault''' is a system of tunnels that leads to [[Yoshi's Island (location)#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Yo'ster Isle]] in the game ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. The level is optional; [[Mario]] can simply bypass the Pipe Vault and move on to [[Moleville]] if he wishes. However, the Pipe Vault is the only way to get to Yo'ster Isle.

The level is optional; [[Mario]] can simply bypass the Pipe Vault and move on to [[Moleville]] if he wishes. However, the Pipe Vault is the only way to get to Yo'ster Isle. Much of this area plays out similarly to a side-scrolling ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' game, as the player is restricted to a one-square-wide path and encounters classic enemies such as [[Goomba]]s, [[Thwomp]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Lava Bubble]]s, and [[Nipper Plant|Chompweed]]s.


The Pipe Vault begins with a pit of [[lava]] filled with jumping [[Lava Bubble#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Sparkies]]. In order to make it to the other side, Mario must traverse a series of platforms while dodging (or fighting) the Sparkies. If Mario slips and falls into the lava, he will have to go back to start and try again. After the first area, Mario will encounter pipes, treasures, puzzles, games and even a few enemies (many which are fairly weak). There is no boss in the Pipe Vault.

The background music of the Pipe Vault is a rearrangement of the underground theme from the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
The [[Goomba thumping]] game is a special [[minigame]] run by a [[Mole (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Mole]] entrepreneur from Moleville. He charges contestants ten [[coin]]s to play the game, and if the contestant can reach a certain number of points, the Mole will give the contestant a special prize.

==Trivia==
[[File:SMRPG PipeVault.png|thumb|left]]
*The Pipe Vault is considered a reference to the "classic" [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] Mario platformers. For instance, the vault is home to the classical enemies of the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise, including [[Goomba]]s, [[Thwomp]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Spikey (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Spikey]]s ([[Spiny|Spinies]]), [[Lava Bubble|Sparkies]], [[Nipper Plant|Chompweed]]s and [[Shy Ranger]]s (an elusive type of [[Shy Guy]]). In fact, the only enemy in the Pipe Vault that cannot be linked to the original platformers is [[Frogog]], who only appears in ''Super Mario RPG''. Additionally, the Pipe Vault is only one square wide, creating a pseudo-two dimensional effect. At one point Mario must run and crouch to slide under a low block, just like in the original platformers. The background music is also a cover of the underground theme in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
