Animal Crossing: New Horizons Players have had Super Mario’s 35th anniversary items for some time now, which means that people are starting to discover new ways to use the set. While the warp pipe was immediately adopted as a useful tool and decoration, as well as a mini-game facilitator, it is now also officially considered a great support for taking pictures.
See, when you use the pipe, it pushes you up. And if you are fast enough, you can take a picture of your character apparently flying through the sky. This gave the Instagram user acnh_devineland an idea.
“The second I stepped on one and saw how high it threw you in the air, I knew there were tons of incredible creations that could come from that!” she told Polygon via private messages. So she decided to make this a challenge for the community at large, entrusting everyone to take the most creative photos possible with the bend tube. What’s great is that you can completely obscure the barrel, so some photos almost look like they shouldn’t be possible. Like the float challenge before it, the tube challenge had a series of inscriptions in which fans try to recreate scenes from pop culture. Below, you’ll find some of our favorite favorites so far.
