Instant warp: Difference between revisions

An '''instant warp''' is a special [[floor]] that, when passed above, causes Mario to instantly move without interrupting normal gameplay. In the case of '''loading zones''', Mario enters a different area in the level and a different set of objects loads. In the case of the '''endless staircase''', Mario instantly changes position but not area.

 

Because normal gameplay is not interrupted when triggering an instant warp, interesting side effects can occur. For example, if Mario passes through a loading zone while holding an object or climbing on a pole, objects in the new area can be [[cloned]].

*[[Castle]]: The endless staircase is an instant warp that is not a loading zone. It displaces Mario by -205 in the y direction and 410 in the z direction.

*[[Dire, Dire Docks]]: There is a two-way loading zone at the midpoint of the tunnel. It displaces Mario by 8192 in the x direction.

*[[Shifting Sand Land]]: There is a two-way loading zone inside the pyramid in the entrance to the [[Eyerok]] boss fight.

*[[Tall, Tall Mountain]]: There are two one-way loading zones along the slide. These displace Mario by (10240, 7168, 10240) and (-11264, 13312, 3072). They are located inside tunnels, which prevent Mario from activating them from above.

*[[Wet Dry World]]: There is a two-way loading zone in the tunnel leading to the town.
