History[edit ]

Super Paper Mario[edit ]

“With this, you will be able to return to Flipside from anywhere in the universe! Use it whenever you feel you must return in a hurry.”
—Merlon , Super Paper Mario

The Return Pipe is an Important Thing in Super Paper Mario . In this game, Return Pipes are red with diagonal white stripes on their lip. It is given to Mario by Merlon at the start of the game after Mario places the red Pure Heart on the Heart Pillar. It resembles a red Warp Pipe with white stripes on it. The function of the Return Pipe is to return the player back to the Flipside Tower from any dimension at most times. However, in some places, such as Mimi's sweatshop in Merlee's Mansion, Sammer's Kingdom, The Underwhere during Chapter 6's interlude, the Flipside and Flopside Pit of 100 Trials, and during Dimentio's game of "magic tag" in Chapter 8-3, the Return Pipe cannot be used. It also cannot be used during a boss fight. The Return Pipe also can lead to the Flopside Tower if used at Castle Bleck.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership[edit ]

“This Return Pipe will let you warp to islands where Connectar is flowing. Any guesses who made it? A hint: me. I'm Billdit and Maykit's mom, after all. I could build this stuff in my sleep.”
—Willma , Mario & Luigi: Brothership

The Return Pipe reappears in Mario & Luigi: Brothership , now resembling a Golden Pipe. It is given to Mario and Luigi by Willma after defeating Gorumbla. It can be used by pressing ZR Button. The Return Pipe allows the Mario Bros. to return to Shipshape Island or any other island linked to Shipshape at most times. Enough space in the area is required to place a Return Pipe (without being obstructed by additional walls or solid scenery), otherwise the player cannot use it.

The Return Pipe cannot be used in the following areas:
