They act as walls, in that racers who drive into them slow down significantly or even come to a stop; however, the pipes can be taken out by several means, such as hitting them with a powerful item (e.g. a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]) or driving into them while powered-up by a [[Super Star]], [[Bullet Bill]], or other condition-changing item. [[Piranha Plant]]s can also be in pipes in courses like [[GCN Yoshi Circuit]]. On some occasions, mostly in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', the player can enter a pipe and get warped to another area, which is mainly for the purpose of collecting [[Item Box]]es. This also happens in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', but only in [[Pipe Plaza]], since it is a battle course that originated in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''. | ||
