Editing Midway Gate

'''Midway Gates'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario World'' instruction booklet|date=1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Nintendo|language=en-us|page=8}}</ref> are [[checkpoint]]s in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]]. They appear as two blue-and-white striped posts, linked by a piece of white '''tape''', thus looking like smaller versions of the [[Giant Gate]]s in the same game. Midway Gates appear near the middle of many [[Level|courses]], excluding auto-scrolling, underwater, [[Star World]], and [[Special Zone]] courses. In the reissue, Midway Gates also appear in underwater courses. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] passes through a Midway Gate, the tape disappears, and he is respawned at the Midway Gate if the player loses a life in the course. If Mario or Luigi cuts the tape when in his [[Small Mario|Small form]], he turns into [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] or Super Luigi, respectively. When the player restarts at the Midway Gate, the tape is missing.
