An unusual form of getting around, often found in video games. Hop in one end of the tube, get shuttled through in some manner, and come out the other end. Instead of taking a direct route, the tube may take a complicated snake-like path to the destination. Sometimes the hero must navigate an entire Pipe Maze. Such travel may involve a Traveling-Pipe Bulge. Nothing to do with travelling on The London Underground (colloquially referred to as "the Tube"). |

Come Back Mrs. Noah When the Britannia Seven is about to accidentally launch into space, the crew tries to evacuate using the emergency suction tube; but because Mrs. Noah is sent first she just gets stuck in the tube preventing everyone else from leaving. In a later episode they use the suction tubes to travel around the space station because the lift still isn't working. Unfortunately being in the tube when another item is shooting up behind you is a bad idea. |

This goes back to the original Metroid, where Samus can use the Morph Ball/Maru Mari to pass through horizontal tubes in the Chozo rooms. However, the game had no actual physics for these tubes, which were really just graphical tiles rendered on top of passageways that happened to be one block tall and thus otherwise inaccessible. | |

Command & Conquer: Generals features the Tunnel Network for the GLA, which involves building separate entrances that are somehow magically connected the instant the Tunnel entrance is completed no matter the distance or location on the map (essentially a teleporter in function). There is also a Dummied Out capturable version called the Cave, and many a Game Mod adds it back in. | |

The 8-bit version of Sonic 2 has it in in Aqua Lake Zone Act 2, Acts 1 & 3 of Gimmick Mountain Zone, the entirety of Scrambled Egg Zone, and the last act of the game, Crystal Egg Zone Act 3. For Scrambled Egg Zone, there are several "pipe puzzles" in Acts 1 & 2; only one puzzle in act 1 can dump you into spikes, but several puzzles in Act 2 have spikes under them, the last of which you cannot escape if you fail there. There are three pipes in the final stage; the first one takes you to the Final Boss, the second is needed to hide from Robotnik's attacks, and the third is behind Robotnik and can be entered after you destroy his machine, which takes you to the finish line and Tails. | |

The 1994 version of The Shadow displays a vast and complex network of disguised pneumatic tubes running through New York City. This is how the Shadow's cohorts relay messages to Burbank, who relays the messages to the Shadow himself. The novelization explains that Lamont Cranston himself organized their installation, at incredible personal expense. | |

All Mixed Up!: Played straight. Agents use the tubes to get above ground while agents with clients get to Headquarters a different way. However, it also deconstructs the trope with Otto, who is unable to breathe due to being squished into a ball with his internal organs getting mixed up during the ride, and likes to take a breath of fresh air once he emerges from the tubes and reaches his destination. | |

The latter was never clearly shown in the games until Super Mario Bros. 3, where some levels scroll up or down while Mario is inside the pipe. Super Mario 3D World actually lets you control your pipe travel in the Clear Pipe segments by letting you choose your path, usually to dodge enemies. The Clear Pipes also appear in Super Mario Maker 2, exclusive to the 3D World game style. |

Very common in the 'Sonic the Hedgehog'' games: The 16-bit version version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has it in the Chemical Plant and Metropolis Zones. The former is readapted in Sonic Mania, but now stops to decide where you want to go The 8-bit version of Sonic 2 has it in in Aqua Lake Zone Act 2, Acts 1 & 3 of Gimmick Mountain Zone, the entirety of Scrambled Egg Zone, and the last act of the game, Crystal Egg Zone Act 3. For Scrambled Egg Zone, there are several "pipe puzzles" in Acts 1 & 2; only one puzzle in act 1 can dump you into spikes, but several puzzles in Act 2 have spikes under them, the last of which you cannot escape if you fail there. There are three pipes in the final stage; the first one takes you to the Final Boss, the second is needed to hide from Robotnik's attacks, and the third is behind Robotnik and can be entered after you destroy his machine, which takes you to the finish line and Tails. Sonic Chaos has this in Electric Egg Zone and the third and fifth Special Stages. Sonic 3 & Knuckles has it in Launch Base Zone Act 2. Sonic Triple Trouble has this in the Tidal Plant and Atomic Destroyer Zones. Sonic 3D Blast has this in the Gene Gadget and Panic Puppet Zones. Sonic Blast has this in Blue Marine Zone. These pipes also provide oxygen, so Sonic and Knuckles can go inside them to refill their Oxygen Meter if they're running low. Sonic Adventure 2 has this in Crazy Gadget. Sonic Advance 1 has this in the Secret Base and Egg Rocket Zones. |

Metroid Many Morph Ball sections in the Metroid Prime series feature long winding tunnels and pipes, sometimes with fans, vents or cannons propelling Samus through. This goes back to the original Metroid, where Samus can use the Morph Ball/Maru Mari to pass through horizontal tubes in the Chozo rooms. However, the game had no actual physics for these tubes, which were really just graphical tiles rendered on top of passageways that happened to be one block tall and thus otherwise inaccessible. |
