History Main / WarpWhistle

%%* ''VideoGame/BetrayalAtKrondor''.

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'' has Statues of the Seven (which also double as healing points), Teleport Waypoints, and various dungeons that you can teleport to once you've unlocked them.

*** ''VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus'': Your arc phone has Fly points where, with the exception of the Arena areas requiring you to defeat the Noble Pokémon, you only need to set foot in them to mark them as fly locations. However, you cannot use this feature if you are being targeted by a wild Pokémon.

*** ''[[VideoGame/PokemonOmegaRubyAndAlphaSapphire Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]'': Although these games still have the Fly HM for the warp whistle, similar to ''Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'', it was expanded to allow you to fly back to routes instead of just Pokémon Centers. Additionally, the Eon Flute was introduced, allowing you to fly to any previously visited location on Mega Latios or Mega Latias, respectively.

*** ''[[VideoGame/PokemonBrilliantDiamondAndShiningPearl Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]'': Instead of wasting a slot on one of your Pokémon, your Poketch app has the Fly option for the purpose of flying.

** In most games, Fly allows you to warp to any town or other major location you've been to. Even in games that no longer have the Fly HM as an option, such as ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'', they have stand-ins for the feature.

*** ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' and ''VideoGame/PokemonUltraSunAndUltraMoon'': Charizard Glide is Alola's stand-in for Fly, being used to take you back to any Pokémon Center you have visited.

*** ''VideoGame/PokemonLegendArceus'': Your arc phone has Fly points where, with the exception of the Arena areas requiring you to defeat the Noble Pokémon, you only need to set foot in them to mark them as fly locations. However, you cannot use this feature if you are being targeted by a wild Pokémon.

** In most games, Fly allows you to warp to any town or other major location you've been to; ''VideoGame/PokemonOmegaRubyAndAlphaSapphire'' expanded this to include not only every city you've visited, but also most routes, caves and islands. The Eon Flute can be used in order to travel across Hoenn on the back of Latios or Latias.
** Teleport takes you to the last Pokémon Center you used.
** Dig and the EscapeRope item both return you to the entrance of whatever dungeon you may be in, and naturally don't take you anywhere if used outside of a dungeon.
** The Magnet Train and S.S. Aqua in ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'' and their remakes, which travel between the Johto and Kanto regions.
** Lumiose City in ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' is large enough to warrant its own version of this, in the form of the Lumi Cab service. The cabs found in various locations throughout Lumiose can instantly transport the player to any major location in the city for a price.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' and ''VideoGame/PokemonUltraSunAndUltraMoon'' replaces Fly with Charizard Glide, which functions identially to Fly, except without a Pokémon on your team wasting a move slot. The PlayerCharacter simply calls for Charizard to come over and transport them to the chosen destination.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' has multiple systems: Corviknight Taxi, which takes the player character to one of many specific convenient destinations; and the Monorail, found only in the city of Wyndon, as that city is big enough to warrant its own warp system. The trains running throughout Galar serve the same function once you unlock all of the stations, though prior to that, they function as {{Broken Bridge}}s in that you gain access to additional stations to travel there for the first time.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' have the Flying Taxi like ''Sword and Shield'', [[spoiler:and the teleporters in Area Zero which can be used to go to another teleporter that you have already been to]].

* In ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'', most zones have Stagway Stations that grant fast travel between one another once [[CashGate unlocked with a Geo toll of varying amounts]]. Later on, the Dream Nail can be used to create a Dreamgate for warping back to a specific destination.

* In ''VideoGame/PotionPermit'', there are red banners that teleport you to designated locations when you interact with them.

* In ''VideoGame/NoUmbrellasAllowed'', there are bus stops in designated spots in the overworld, where flying buses pick you up and instantly take you to where you need to go.

''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'' has Statues of the Seven (which also double as healing points), Teleport Waypoints, and various dungeons that you can teleport to once you've unlocked them.

** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'' is the only game in the main series lacking standard fast travel between cities. Instead, one can use silt striders (giant insects which have been lobotomized and are "driven" by manipulating exposed muscle tendons. Passengers ride in the beast's hollowed-out shell), boats along the coasts, and by the Mages Guild "Guild Guide" service (instant teleportation between Mages Guild halls). Additionally, the spells "Divine Intervention" and "Almsivi Intervention" will teleport you to the nearest Imperial shrine and Tribunal temple, respectively. The Mark and Recall spells are similar, allowing you to set a "Mark" and then "Recall" to that spot. Useful for traveling long distances when no fast travel is available, getting out of a sticky situation in a hurry, or for transporting more loot than you could carry on foot.

** ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' have the Flying Taxi like ''Sword and Shield'', and the teleporters in Area Zero which can be used to go to another teleporter that you have already been to.

* ''VideoGame/EuroTruckSimulator'' makes the ferries and the Channel Tunnel essentially function this way. No need to keep track of timetables or queues; you simply drive to the terminal, pay a fee and you are transported to a specific destination (each terminal has no more than two options). Only islands (Britain, Sicily, Sardinia) are inaccessible through simply driving, though since ferries offer your only chance to both rest and travel simultaneously, ferries almost always work out faster compared to land routes. ''VideoGame/AmericanTruckSimulator'', its sibling, obviously has far less ferries thanks to American geography. The Washington expansion introduces that game's first ferry, the Port Townsend - Coupeville Ferry, which does save the player a trip through Seattle and around the Puget Sound.
