An '''instant warp''' is a special [[Surfaces|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.

When an instant warp displaces Mario, it moves the camera as well to maintain its position relative to Mario. If the camera is locked and Mario gets displaced a large distance, the camera can enter a PU, causing the Nintendo 64 versions of the game to crash. This is possible by repeatedly displacing Mario using the endless staircase<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9UPeSpZZPw</ref> or the TTM slide<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be_RbwFWh30</ref>.

=== Cloning ===
All objects (except for Mario) unload when you cross the loading point, in order to make room for the objects in the new area. If Mario is holding an object when he passes through a Loading zone, the object will become fake and can be used for [[Cloning]].
When passing through a loading zone, all objects unload in order to make room for the objects in the new area. If Mario is holding an object when he passes through a loading zone, he will be holding either a vacant object slot or an object from the new area.
 
=== New Area Not Loading ===
=== New Area Not Loading ===
If Mario gets past the Loading zone without activating it (either by passing it with hyperspeed or clipping behind it in some other way) then the new area does not load. There is a cutoff in course geometry where the new area would have loaded.
If Mario gets past a loading zone without activating it (either by passing it with hyperspeed or clipping behind it in some other way), then the new area does not load and the old one does not unload.
