Editing Unrevisitable area

In ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games, an '''unrevisitable area''' is any location which is inaccessible after a certain point. Unrevisitable areas are primarily found in ''Super Mario'' RPGs where the player is automatically taken to such places during the storyline and may contain items or accessories that [[Missable content|can be missed]]. Some platformer games that allow the player to roam on world maps may contain stages that can only be accessed once on the world map, or near the beginning of the game.

Games with a linear and irreversible stage progression, such as ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', are not listed on this page.

The storage room in [[Peach's Castle]] cannot be accessed again after the paper characters are released from the book.

There is a mandatory tutorial mission in Peach's Castle at the start of the game, in which several [[Paper Toad]]s are found. This mission cannot be replayed after it is completed, as it does not appear in the [[Lakitu Info Center]] mission list.

Instead, Donkey Kong is immediately transported to the Cloud world upon selecting the Cloud Gateway on the world map.
