Doesn't count if it's due to a GoodBadBug.

* ''[[Silent Hill 1]]:'' The ladies' bathrooms in Otherworld Midwich.

* ''KidChameleon'' has the Elsewhere levels.

** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels'' were infamous for the Warp Zones that would take you back to an earlier world. They were nice enough to include suicide pits in said reverse Warp Zones, so you didn't actually have to take them.

* In ''AdventureIsland'' games, the player can find hidden flying reptile's chamber, who can take you to the next area if prompted.

* The TropeNamer is ''SuperMarioBros.'', which had secret Warp Zones in two {{Underground Level}}s. In the iconic World 1-2, you could run over the level ceiling (bypassing the level exit pipe) and reach the WarpZone with pipes to Worlds 2, 3 and 4 (or [[GoodBadBug glitch through walls]] and enter the pipe to MinusWorld). Running over the ceiling in World 4-2 would only get you a pipe to World 5, but a hidden beanstalk took you to a WarpZone with pipes to Worlds 6, 7 and 8.
** ''The Lost Levels'' were infamous for the Warp Zones that would take you back to an earlier world. They were nice enough to include suicide pits in said reverse Warp Zones, so you didn't actually have to take them.
** Super Mario Bros. 2 also had a WarpZone that could only be activated after entering through magic potion doors.
** The literal WarpWhistle in ''SuperMarioBros. 3'' actually works by transporting Mario to a WarpZone (which is also called as "World 9" on the status bar).
** ''New Super Mario Bros'' has hidden cannons that launch Mario into farther worlds.

* ''{{Battletoads}}'' has several warp portals; eg, the first is accessed by headbutting the first two Psycho Pigs, and the Turbo Tunnel one is accessed by running into a certain wall.

-->-- ''SuperMeatBoy''

* ''SuperMeatBoy'' has portals in a few levels that will take you to hidden levels and even award secret characters on completion in some cases. Touching one results in Meat Boy being sucked into a black hole while the announcer screams "'''WARP ZONE!!!'''" Also, if you unlock one, you can access it from the world map.

* The Black Hole in the original ''[[VideoGame/StarFox StarFox]]'', and the two [[http://starfox.wikia.com/wiki/Warp_Zone Warp Zones]] in 64.
* In ''AdventureIsland'' games, the player can find hidden [[strike:dinosaur]]flying reptile's chamber, who can take you to the next area if prompted.

* ''EyeOfTheBeholder'' has magical portals that are activated by special stone items, including one room with no less than five of them. The items must be found first, of course. Also, most portals are two-way, but a pair of them are one-way, locking the party in a level they may not be ready to explore.
* DonkeyKongCountry and Donkey Kong Country 2 both have a few of these. They seems less "official" and more buggy in the first game, but apparently they're intentional.

* The Black Hole in the original ''StarFox''.

** Super Mario Bros. 2 also had WarpZone that could only be activated after entering through magic potion doors.
