Small pipes first appear in [[World 2-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 2-1]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They appear with a purple coloration and do not serve any purpose other than being decorative structures. Small pipes also appear in [[Pipe Land|World 7]], where they are green and may have [[Muncher]]s pop out of them. Horizontal [[cannon]]s and a type of forward-facing [[Burner|Rocket Engine]] resemble dark small pipes.

Small pipes in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and its sequels often lead to rooms with a hidden [[Star Coin]] and usually also shortcut rooms with coins that can be used to skip some parts of the level. As of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', exiting from a small pipe leads players out of a normal-sized one, likely due to the fact that other players not in the correct form can exit the same pipe in multiplayer.

 

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', a small pipe is required to reach the secret exit in [[Grinding-Stone Tower]].
