#Warp Pipes

[multicolour-ink]

Been thinking about the warp zone area and thought of something interesting. It looks massive and by all accounts- pretty difficult to navigate. Yet one would assume the ability to fast travel to other kingdoms within minutes would out weigh the negatives of taking a wrong turn; just hop back in the way you came and try again. Except from what we see, apart from the bros falling in by accident, no other living soul is using the warp zone. It's been largely abandoned. The NY pipe is rusty and forgotten. Same goes for the one in the MK; all overgrown and dilapidated. I believe the implication is Bowser has purposefully made the warp zone too dangerous to use by making the likelihood of landing in the Darklands very high. Not only is his area dark and ominous when compared to the other normal green pipe exits we see, but it's also massive. Perhaps he has gotten some of the magikoopas to enchant the area to be that way.

Imagine the zone to be the equivalent of a big ol' subway. It may be large and confusing but it's ultimately a way to quickly get from one location to another. Except now someone has rigged the tracks to where if your train car gets too close to a specific location, your train gets diverted into the pits of hell. Yeah, I too wouldn't use that method of transport if I was aware there'd be a chance of that happening. Citizens have stopped using it because it's just not safe anymore.

It's why folks like Toad are so certain that if you go into the big scary pipe, you're never coming back. He knew EXACTLY what Mario was describing.

For Bowser, I think this accomplishes two things:

1. You've effectively cut off easy communication to other lands, making it much more difficult to coordinate a defense. It's probably why Peach, Mario, and Toad need to travel to the Kong's Kingdom mostly on foot.

2. If anyone is unlucky enough to fall into the big scary pipe, you can have minions waiting on the other side to capture and bring them in for interrogation on the goings-on in the other kingdoms.

I have been trying to figure out how the warp pipes in this movie verse work...

For starters, why IS there a warp pipe just sitting at the very depths of a city sewer system on Earth? And why have no other humans (aside from the Bros) fallen into it?

Well, Peach did mention that "there's a whole universe out there"; What if, long ago, that universe was all interconnected, and many worlds could visit each other whenever they pleased?

Or (and this is the theory I'm sticking to), what if the warp pipes are organic matter, like plants that sprout and grow out over time? Like the roots of trees! But (much like tree roots) some warp pipes can spread out too far, and accidentally connect to other worlds. I imagine there are experts or scholars in the Mushroom World who keep track of all the warp pipes and where they go; if they find one has gone too far, then they simply "block it off", preventing any from using it.

If you notice, the pipe Mario falls out of is on a wall, and (unless you do a well timed jump from one of the giant mushrooms) there's no way to get back in there again.

The warp pipes branching off too far can also be at risk of creating "crossroads" (like we see in the warp zone scene). This could also be why some pipes are blocked off.

Bowser blocking the one to his kingdom makes sense as well. He's not going to use it (too big. And he has a flying fortress!), and it stops any unwanted guests from stumbling in.

#hope that's good enough #I'm not 100% sure if bowser would've had a hand in blocking / altering the warp pipe #but he certainly wouldn't care to have anyone else barging into his kingdom #super mario #warp pipes #mario #luigi #bowser #multicolour ink answers #the super mario bros movie #super mario movie #mario movie #mario bros #super mario bros

Pipe Lion

There is good news and bad news.

The good news is that I can fight Pipe Lion (the name of the Giant enemy) THAT FRICKIN ATE MY MOM AND MENTOR.

Sigh.

For some reason a lot of people from my adventure were here.

Captain scurvy was trying to make a profit on some of the stolen goods.

Daisy was there taking charge

The beanish family were championing me.

Alice was threatening to shoot Pipe Lion

Ricardo and Mario's family we're trying to keep calm.

Miyamoto had that weird screen thingy he uses trying to figure out what was going on.

Rosalina and Egadd were the most notable.

They had given me a new weapon.

The warp staff

It's some weapon that uses pure warp energy to create concentrated blasts.

The only other thing similar to this was made by a guy in the '70s after drinking a lava lamp. He was discovered on an entirely different Island from where he apparently was last seen with no clothes, a yogurt container, and something he called a "boom tube"

I knew what I had to do. Fight.

@shootysturs / @poyo-shooty-art Drew this boss fight in the art style of Mario and Luigi.

That thing is actually a lot more huge than it's presented here though.

It was a pretty standard fight.

I managed to defeat it after shooting large blast of energy that builds up while dodging it's attacks.

The weird thing is that my mom and Mario didn't leave its mouth.

Now for the bad news

It looks like I might have to...

Go in.

Literally all I care about is their life in Brooklyn now.

Broken Warp Pipe AU

Based off of a concept by @multicolour-ink and @wiz-witch​ where the warp pipe in Brooklyn breaks down, leaving Mario and Luigi stranded separate dimensions: X.

From there I just went off the rails.

Mario (Brooklyn Side)

Mario has not stopped working toward finding a way to The Mushroom Kingdom since he and Luigi were separated, and has run himself ragged in the process.

He started off trying to discover if there is a working warp pipe somewhere else in the world. After all, if there was one just under their noses in Brooklyn, surely there’s another somewhere! He just needs to search, and search hard.

He’s always on the move, working some side-gigs to stay afloat while spending every second of free time pursuing and studying warp pipes. He eats bad, sleeps bad, and even smokes sometimes when he’s sleep deprived and can’t focus (though he always feels guilty about it afterward. Luigi would NOT approve.)

Mario hates being alone, but spends most of his time alone, because he feels that’s what he deserves at this point. He’s reached so many dead ends he feels like he’s already failed his brother, but refuses to slow down all the same.

When he’s feeling particularly hopeless or lonely, sometimes he talks to nobody as though he’s talking to Luigi. This helps a little. 

He calls his family every couple of months to let them know he’s okay, and to see if there’s any sign that the Brooklyn warp pipe is working again. These phone calls are brief, and he never properly explains where he is or what he’s doing.

 Mario has stolen (and usually returned) many ancient artifacts and documents, and broken into many a location trying to uncover a warp pipe. He hasn’t hurt anyone, but his impatience and determination has earned him a bit of a criminal record in the human world. 

In his travels, Mario found one or two working warp pipes, but they led to weird alternative dimensions not even close to The Mushroom Kingdom. He has done some heroism in these places whenever the situation presents itself (he’s still a good guy), and has been rewarded with helpful information about warp pipes and how they work.

Through knowledge he gleaned from his travels, combined his own advanced skills with traditional plumbing, Mario eventually pieces together how to repair warp pipes, which he uses to fix his own pipe back in Brooklyn.

Luigi (Mushroom Kingdom Side)

When Mario first got trapped in Brooklyn, Luigi desperately tried to fill his brother’s shoes until he returned. When Bowser inevitably reattempted to destroy The Mushroom Kingdom, Luigi tried to channel his brother by taking the tyrant on alone. He was very nearly killed as a result. DK, Toad, and Peach successfully fended off Bowser in the end, but Luigi was left physically and emotionally scarred in a way he has not quite recovered from.

Luigi still does his best to be a hero despite everything, but is only barely functional unless he has someone backing him up. Princess Peach sticks close to him whenever possible, and Toad is ecstatic to have him as a friend and adventuring buddy.

 Luigi has an official place on the Toad Brigade, and is happiest when he’s doing missions with them.

He eventually develops into one of the most formidable heroes in the dimension, especially after he gains the powers of the thunder hand. He rarely gets recognition for this though, because he very much does not behave like the traditional hero, and far prefers the sidekick position. He wouldn’t have it any other way.  

Luigi does not spend a lot of time in his and Mario’s house, save to keep it clean and tidy. He has not moved any of his brothers things, except to keep them dusted. A part of him still holds out hope that he’ll be back one day.

Princess Peach hooked Luigi up with an apprenticeship with Professor E. Gadd during one of his slumps, and he spends most of his nights sleeping over at the lab. The professor is happy to have him around; Luigi keeps the place so neat and organized, and makes the best cup of coffee!

Though they have some wardrobe changes, both Mario and Luigi have their original hats, and are extremely protective of them. 

#My Art #Mario AU #Not really an AU so much as a 'what if' tbh #Super Mario Bros #SMB Movie #Super Mario #Luigi #Mario #Long post #This idea has been on my mind for a bit. Can you tell? #They are disasters without each other. But they are brave disasters that never say die #It's up to interpretation how long it takes for Mario to learn to fix the Brooklyn warp pipe and go back to The Mushroom Kingdom #but it's at least a couple of years #excruciating years #and if you believe time flows faster in Brooklyn than it does in The Mushroom Kingdom.... OOF

There's a couple of things the sequel could do with Daisy to differentiate her from Peach aside from their personalities: 1) she came across Sarasaland as an adult, and 2) over half the time she has no idea how to rule a kingdom

While these ideas aren't bad, I really like the idea that King Totomesu just found baby Daisy randomly one day and immediately took her in as his own cub. And the other three rulers react like that one scene from Sunny in Philidelphia-

But after five minutes they all vow to protect the baby with their lives.

#katlyn talks #princess daisy #sarasaland #maybe daisy also came through the warp pipe as a baby like peach or maybe she was #always in the mushroom kingdom world but ended up in sarasaland who knows

Space Orcs AU yet again, because I wanted to tweak Dal a little bit, wanted to draw his dog again, and draw B-Junes again, all in one go owo)b

And also wanted to make another space background, thanks to Mario RPG. Stars are pretty...

Anyway more tidbits under a readmore, here we go!

Bowser Junior

During an experiment that Iggy and Ludwig were performing in hopes of improving the travel speeds of their spaceships, an accident caused all eight members of the Royal Brood to be pulled into multiple wormholes and scattered across the cosmos. Junior ended up on a planet filled with Dino Piranhas, and struggled to survive until a trio of strange, squishy creatures found and seemingly adopted him.

While Junior tried keeping his distance out of fear that these squishy folk were actually kidnappers, it didn't take long for his curiosity and need for comfort to overpower any of his fears. He bonded fastest with the purple-maned one; often riding piggyback around the ship or curling up next to him and his fuzzy friend when it's time to sleep. He turns out to be a quick learner when it comes to their languages, easily figuring out short sentences in English and, by courtesy of the red-clad one, several curse words in Italian.

Dalex

A fifteen-year-old human who was snatched in the dead of night while taking his dog out for a late-night bathroom break. Despite his near-overwhelming fear, he teamed up with Mario and Luigi to hijack the ship the three of them were imprisoned on, successfully taking control of the newly-dubbed Starship Mario. It takes a while for Dal to actually warm up to the Bros., but regularly talking about their respective families helps him avoid cracking from under the stress and homesickness.

After rescuing Bowser Jr., Dal becomes the turtle kid's primary caretaker, along with some of the younger Koopalings once they too are found. Before meeting Iggy and subsequently getting a translator built, Dal taught Junior how to speak bits and pieces of English, and can understand his words better than Mario or Luigi. Think of it like "babysitter learning a kid's speech patterns while other people still hear gibberish."

Viridi

Dal's loyal companion and fuzzy baby child. He was abducted alongside his owner and stayed as close to Dal as possible during both their confinement and eventual starship takeover. 'Distraction' was the name of this dog's game, barking at their captors with varying degrees of success during the fight. Hard to tell if they'd never heard a dog bark before or they were actually scared by it, but they got an old-fashioned Mario Bros. Beatdown regardless.

Compared to all the other "crewmembers," Viridi's the most calm, even excited about what awaits them on their new journey. He likes the odd scaly child; those claws give the greatest scritches he's ever gotten in his life (sorry Dally). Of course, being excited and curious isn't always a good thing, as Viridi's go-to method of following his nose can lead to trouble. Of all the times to lose the leash, it had to be during a space adventure... =_="

*Translation: We are disabling the mini warp pipes to the human world as we wait for them to be dismantled by the professionals, just following orders! Also we have been an independent nation for a couple years now. General got fed up with mistreatment of shy guys and led a revolution. Were still setting up a main settlement but were getting there!*

-Slurp Guy

Most earth warps are in Warp Org Facilities.

Also I don't think that we're going to cut off ties to Earth completely. It's just that we want to be more presentable and not in a panic when we reveal to Earth that the Mushroom Kingdom and panko exists.

Also mistreatment of shy guys?

I mean there are prejudiced jerks out there who obviously need to find something better to do and realize that they are wrong.

But Really. There was enough of a group of people to start a nation of people

I mean Queen Okra (Princess Peach's Late mother) had a shy guy as the head of her royal guard. Joana the mighty. she was a powerhouse.

I used some of her training cassettes even.

Also, how many of you are there. is it just shy guys? Are there other species?

I know there are not just shy guys. Heath Baron is famously known for living on top of the Coconut mall since his first juice bar was located there. I got coffee from a Shy guy at the cashier at Burger Sync. And the Mayor of Castle Town is a shy guy.

My favorite hobby rn is combining Owl House scenes/plotlines with the Mario movie so allow me to put this one out there; 

Imagine after the battle in Brooklyn the gang discovers the warp pipe has broken completely and they can’t return to the Mushroom Kingdom, so Mario and Luigi have to let Peach, Toad, and DK stay with them for the time being. They spend several months searching for another pipe, with many bonding moments among the gang happening—including a budding romance between Mario and Peach—as their friends adjust to living in the human world. Mario and Luigi’s parents having to take care of these new people and learn more about their world, and eventually decide to help them find a way home too. Mario goes through a crisis where he’s overwhelmed by guilt, cuz maybe if it weren’t for him the pipe would still work and his friends wouldn’t be trapped in another world far away from their loved ones, and he quietly decides if they do find a way back he’s just going to stay in Brooklyn since he feels he’s caused everyone enough trouble, which becomes more difficult for him to do the more he bonds with them.

#maybe there could even be a Belos situation added in #where Bowser escapes and plots his revenge while also trying to find another warp pipe home #and he’s trying to do it before the gang does so he can take over the other kingdoms #idk I think this would make an interesting fanfic/comic #maybe it’s just me #super mario bros movie #super mario bros #the owl house #the owl house season 3 #au

@koopzilla​ from [HERE]

The Koopa’s staring really started ticking him off, which is why he had spoken up in the first place. Thor was far more familiar with a certain two-toned sphere than the traditional leash and collar capture method, so the spiked band dangling in the reptile’s claw didn’t spark up any familiar warning bells. His squinting eyes soon level out to a more flat expression at the other’s words, bolt tail twitching at the insult.

“Uh yeah I can talk, what’s so weird about that? You talk.” He points out, not really understanding where the creature was coming from. While he didn’t look like any Pokémon he’s ever seen, this guy definitely wasn’t human that’s for sure. “And for your information, I came from a forest, not a sewer and I’m a mouse, not a rat.” He looked nothing like Rattata or Raticate! “Anyway, I’m a bit new to this area so I have no idea what you’re talking about, whaddya mean by stay in line?”
