In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', using a Magic Whistle summons a whirlwind that takes [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to World 9, the [[Warp Zone (Super Mario Bros. 3)|Warp Zone]], where the player can skip ahead to the start of a later [[world]]. Using the Magic Whistle in [[Grass Land|World 1]] allows Mario or Luigi to warp to [[Desert Land|World 2]], [[Water Land|World 3]], or [[Giant Land|World 4]]; using it in World 2 through [[Ice Land|World 6]] allows him to warp to [[Sky Land|World 5]], World 6, or [[Pipe Land|World 7]]; and using it in World 7, [[Dark Land|World 8]], or World 9 allows him to warp to World 8.

There is a total of three Magic Whistles: Two of them are in World 1, and one is in World 2. Each Magic Whistle can be collected from a certain [[treasure chest|treasure box]], but only two are required to warp directly to World 8. The first Magic Whistle is obtained in [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-3]] by holding Down on {{button|nes|Pad}} while standing on the [[Semisolid Platform#Super Mario Bros. 3|White Block]] at the end of the [[level]], so that Mario or Luigi drops behind the background, and then quickly getting behind the black curtain at the end of the level before the White Block's effect wears off. Behind the curtain is a secret [[Toad House]], whose single box contains the Whistle. The second Magic Whistle is obtained in {{world-link|1|fort|World 1-Fortress}} by [[fly]]ing above the ceiling at the end of the first room, where there is a door hidden above the top of the screen. The door leads to a small secret room where a treasure box contains the Magic Whistle. Clearing {{world|1|fortress}} in that way does not open its lock on the map. The third Magic Whistle can be obtained by defeating the [[Boomerang Bro]]ther in World 2-[[File:FireBro-Map-SMB3.png]] to obtain a [[Hammer]], which must be used to break the rock at the top right of the map screen, opening a secret passage behind a palm tree. The passage contains a Toad House (with a [[Frog Suit]]) as well as a pair of [[Fire Bro]]thers. Defeating both Fire Brothers awards the player the Magic Whistle. According to [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]'s [[letter]] upon the player completing [[Giant Land]], the Magic Whistle had been stolen and taken to the sand dunes on the east side of [[Desert Land]].

[[File:WarpWhistle Glitch.png|thumb|The Magic Whistle of World 5-1, exclusively obtainable via a glitch in the Family Computer version]]

Exclusively in the original [[Family Computer]] release, there is a [[List of Super Mario Bros. 3 glitches|glitch]] that allows the player to obtain a fourth Magic Whistle in [[World 5-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 5-1]]. The glitch can cause the treasure box to appear at the end of the level instead of in its usual location. The glitch is performed by reaching the end of the level, then turning around and flying above the wall of blocks until the player hears the sound of a treasure box appearing. After that, if the player returns to the [[Goal (Super Mario Bros. 3)|goal]], they will notice glitched graphics (as it is not supposed to be possible to activate a treasure box and the goal simultaneously). If the player then hits the goal from the far left corner, the treasure box will teleport to the goal, and picking it up will earn the player either five [[extra life|extra lives]] or a Magic Whistle. Later versions shorten the level by replacing the [[Warp Pipe]] to this area (as well as a [[Buster Beetle]]) with the goal in international [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] releases and [[reissue]]s.

*If the player uses a Magic Whistle while on the canoe in World 3, the player can go off to the left and leave the Warp Zone map. However, they cannot get back and are stuck there unless they have another Magic Whistle. This was fixed in the international versions. The ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version fixed this glitch in a different manner by not allowing the player to use a Magic Whistle while on a canoe.
