A secret area in a video game that allows you to magically teleport to another level, possibly offering you a choice of levels. This is slightly different in principle from Warp Whistle: the Warp Zone usually takes you on a one-way trip to a later area you otherwise wouldn't be able to visit for some time yet, whereas the Warp Whistle is a faster way to travel between areas you've been to before. Doesn't count if it's due to a Good Bad Bug. Compare Hub Level. Not to be confused with The Warp Zone. |

Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi: There's a portal in the basement of the main castle that lets you skip the entire castle and go straight to the Count's chambers on the top floor. However, you do need to explore the castle to find the last 2 family members, as the Count's chambers can't be opened until all the family members are accounted for. | |

Dangerous Dave has secret areas called warp zones, but they don't really warp you anywhere. They're just hidden areas with treacherous platforms and bonus points, and they return you to (the start of) the level you were at upon completion. | |

According to the troubleshooting guide in the back of Stovold's Mornington Crescent Almanac, playing Aldgate three times in a row opens a secret passage beneath Chancery Lane, which will eventually take you two moves away from Mornington Crescent. This, of course, makes no sense whatsoever, since Mornington Crescent is a word game. | |

Super Mario Bros. 2 has a Warp Zone that can only be activated after entering through magic potion doors. You use the potion to create a sub-space door in a location where a particular vase is located. Dropping into that vase in sub-space warps you to a later level. There are multiple locations for this (namely in Worlds 1-3, 3-1, 4-2 and 5-3), and each warp zone takes you to a single specific later world (respectively 4, 5, 6 and 7). In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! King Koopa will often make his Villain: Exit, Stage Left via the Magic Potion Warp Zone. | |

Super Mario Bros.: The Trope Namer is Super Mario Bros., which has secret Warp Zones in two Underground Levels. In the iconic World 1-2, you can run over the level ceiling (bypassing the level exit pipe) and reach the Warp Zone with pipes to Worlds 2, 3 and 4 (or glitch through walls and enter the pipe to Minus World). Running over the ceiling in World 4-2 only gets you a pipe to World 5, but a hidden beanstalk takes you to an outdoors Warp Zone with pipes to Worlds 6, 7 and 8. Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels is infamous for the Warp Zones that take you back to an earlier world. One of them is nice enough to include suicide pits in said reverse Warp Zones, so you don't actually have to take them. Even if there aren't, you can just wait for the timer to run out and kill you. Furthermore, using Warp Zones is discouraged: If you use one, even one that takes you backwards, you are locked out of reaching World 9, and if it's the Super Mario All-Stars version, you lose World 9 privileges permanently for that file, even if you reached World 9 before. Super Mario Bros. 2 has a Warp Zone that can only be activated after entering through magic potion doors. You use the potion to create a sub-space door in a location where a particular vase is located. Dropping into that vase in sub-space warps you to a later level. There are multiple locations for this (namely in Worlds 1-3, 3-1, 4-2 and 5-3), and each warp zone takes you to a single specific later world (respectively 4, 5, 6 and 7). In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! King Koopa will often make his Villain: Exit, Stage Left via the Magic Potion Warp Zone. The literal Warp Whistle in Super Mario Bros. 3 works by transporting Mario to a Warp Zone (which is also called as "World 9" on the status bar). Using it in World 1 allows you to choose between Worlds 2, 3 and 4; using it in one of those worlds allows you to choose between 5, 6 and 7; and using it anywhere in that interval or in the warp zone itself takes you directly to World 8. Every New Super Mario Bros. game except U has hidden cannons that launch Mario into farther worlds. (U instead just has secret level exits that lead to extra paths opening up to later worlds.) Both Super Mario 3D Land and 3D World have each secret red pipes which warp the player(s) to the next world, yet these don't ever need to be found for 100% Completion (in fact, it's counterproductive for that cause). Since Super Mario Bros. 35 uses the same levels as Super Mario Bros., it includes the same warp zones. They allow the player to skip a few levels ahead in the randomized level order. |

Arkanoid: The Break powerup opens up the path to the next level (or levels, in later installments). However, unlike a proper level clear, it does not cause the ball to vanish, so a player hoping to take the warp can still lose a life if the ball drops out of the play field before the Vaus can get to it (and for insult on the injury, if the player fails to make it, the Warp Zone closes upon the start of the next life). | |
