Warps, commonly known as portals, are two shaman items that can be summoned on maps that have the "Portal" map setting enabled.

Anybody can create warp maps by enabling the setting in the Map Editor while creating a map.

Mechanics

They function as portals that teleport mice and shaman items between each other while maintaining their momentum.

Although they come in two variations: blue and orange (called Warp (in) and Warp (out)), both portals function as both an input or an output.

One-way warp

A detailed tutorial on making a one-way warp

While most often times warps are two-way, it's actually possible to create a warp that's one-way through the creative use of terrain. Burying one warp into a solid piece of the level will force mice out the nearest side. There are a number of occasions where this might be used productively in some levels, but like everything, it has its own uses as a trolling tactic as well.

History

Version	Date	Update
V0.35	4 July 2010	Warps introduction	Warps were available in almost all maps. It's unknown if the constant outcry from "pro gamers" that "portals ruined the game" was the cause of its July 5th retraction or they were simply an undocumented 4th of July-only item.
V0.36	4 July 2010	Warps now only available on some maps
V0.39	5 July 2010	Warps removed
V0.42	11 July 2010	Warps reintroduced in some of the new map	Limited to certain maps where they can best be used, rather than most maps.

Portals can now be used in a map, but only if portals are turned on in map editor, like the soul mate function.

Trivia

• The concept of the warps, along with their colors, is originated from the Portal video game series.
