- Some games have audio files but no description.
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario Bros.[edit]
Super Mario Bros. marks the first appearance of "Pipe Travel" or "Power-Down". It is also featured in the Super Mario World album.
Super Mario World[edit]
Super Mario World, alongside Super Mario All-Stars and its rerelease Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World, has an arrangement of "Pipe Travel / Power-Down". It is also featured in the game's official soundtrack.

Mario is Missing![edit]
In Mario is Missing! for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the "Pipe Travel / Power Down" sound effect plays in the opening cutscene, when Mario falls into a hole in the snow. The same sound also plays whenever Luigi enters a Warp Pipe during gameplay.
Illumination films[edit]
The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]
The versions of the "Pipe Travel / Power Down" sound effect from Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario 3D Land are sampled in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The former is used several times throughout the film for whenever a Warp Pipe or Clear Pipe is used and when Mario, Donkey Kong, and Princess Peach lose their power-ups. A muffled version of the latter is heard when Mario loses his Super form falls off the Training Course and into the lake below.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie[edit]
The sound effect serves the same overall purpose in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie as it did in its predecessor. In terms of losing power-ups, the sound is only heard when Mario and Luigi lose their Drill and Cloud forms respectively. Despite losing their Mini and Blimp forms, the sound does not play for Bowser nor Yoshi.
Other appearances[edit]
Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Touch de Dokodon![edit]
In Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Touch de Dokodon!, "Pipe Travel" is incorporated into the Super Mario Bros. track, serving as a bridge between the "Ground BGM" and "Underground BGM" sections.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf[edit]
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, "Power Down" plays if the player's villager eats a famous mushroom item.
List of Super Mario appearances[edit]
This section needs improvement. Specifically:
- Add arrangement types for all arrangements.
