Loading zones mostly appear solid black or white due to their locations (the loading zones themselves being invisible), and they trigger a screen transition of a spinning hat upon entering them. Most are located within doorways, with some being found at the bottom of wells or other pits in the ground, or at the top of where some beanstalks grow.
Most commonly located in doorways, loading zones generally appear solid black or white, and trigger a screen transition of a spinning hat upon entering them. While most loading zones transport Mario to a different [[scene]], there are a few in the game that transport Mario to a world that seems unconnected, but is in fact located in a distant area within the same scene as the original world.

While most loading zones transport Mario to a different [[stage]], there are a few in the game that transport Mario to another level that seems disjointed but is in fact located off in the distance within the same stage as the original area.

*The entrance and exit to the [[New Donk City Hall Auditorium]] in the [[Metro Kingdom]]
*The entrance and exit to the [[New Donk City Hall Auditorium]] in the [[Metro Kingdom]]
*The entrance and exit to the [[Cascading Magma]] area in the [[Luncheon Kingdom]]
*The entrance and exit to the [[Cascading Magma]] area in the [[Luncheon Kingdom]]
*The entrances and exits to each of the four rooms containing [[Story moon|story moons]] in the [[Snow Kingdom]]
*The entrances and exits to each of the four rooms containing [[Story Moons]] in the [[Snow Kingdom]]
 
Additionally, the [[Snowline Circuit]] entrance room in the [[Snow Kingdom]] contains two loading zones that are connected to each other, making these the only loading zones in the game that transport Mario to a different location in the same connected level.
 
Although loading zones can normally only be accessed from one direction, giving the illusion of a continuous doorway or pit, they can just as well be collided with from the other direction if Mario enters them from out of bounds.
