Sub-areas were first introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', with the very first subarea being in World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros. 1), and they are present in many levels in the game.
Sub-areas were introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', with the first one being in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]]. They are present throughout the game.


The sub-areas return in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' with the same functionality.

''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' contains many sub-areas, which can be accessed by entering [[vase]]s. However, in this game, entering some of these vases, usually to pick up [[key]]s, is mandatory to finish levels.
''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' contain many sub-areas by heading down into [[vase]], but in this game many such vases are in fact mandatory to head into to complete levels, for instance to pick up [[key]]s.


Sub-areas in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' function the same as in ''Super Mario Bros.'' The ones in ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', and the ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' series function very similarly but without the possibility of warping directly to later levels.

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', sub-areas differ somewhat from earlier games, as the only conventional sub-area in the game is the [[1-Up Chamber]]. However, many pipes do lead to alternate areas of levels that are played similarly to the regular areas. There is also the [[bonus game (Super Mario World)|bonus game]] for reaching 100 [[Goal Star]]s from completing levels.

Sub-areas return in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' series, ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', functioning very similarly to the ones in ''Super Mario Bros.'', but now with the possibility of finding Star Coins or [[10-flower coin]]s within them.

Sub-areas play a key role in ''[[Wario World]]'' as areas housing [[Red diamond (Wario World)|red diamonds]], objects needed  to access the boss of each level. There are two types of sub-areas; sub-areas accessed through [[Trapdoor (Wario World)|wooden trapdoors]] can be accessed simply by ground-pounding to enter them and are often small, contained puzzles. Sub-areas accessed through steel trapdoors can only be accessed by Wario using the [[Piledriver]] move. These sub-areas are considerably larger than the ones accessed through wooden doors and take place in a sky like setting. Should Wario fall off the area, he will be reset at the sub-areas beginning. Sub-areas always contain a red diamond and sometimes contain a [[Gold Statue]] piece, a captured [[Spriteling]] or both alongside a red diamond. Once the red diamond is collected, it is replaced by a normal [[Wooden chest]].
Sub-areas show up occasionally in ''[[Wario World]]'', for instance [[Greenhorn Ruins]], often with [[Red diamond (Wario World)|red diamonds]] on offer.

Sub-areas show up in most stages in ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]''. A vast majority of them offer [[Sparkle Gem]]s, though some merely offer coins.
