Inside the dry pipe in Wet-Dry World
Here's a technique I came up with to get back into the pipe in Wet-Dry world, AFTER you have drained the water from the town. This has a couple of weird effects, number one, the camera can't handle being in the pipe with no water so it forces itself to stay outside, and when you get halfway down the pipe you pop to the water's surface in the main area. Weird.
Warning: This technique is extremely difficult, easily harder than getting to the top of the castle early.
Here's how it's done. Enter Wet-Dry World with the water as high as possible, now jump into the pipe that leads to 'the town' once you come out the other end, look left and find the grey building with the flat roof. Now drain the water. Make your way on top of this roof and look back towards the pipe. Now take a run up and long jump onto the red roof below the pipe entrance, aim for the fire-spitter. With luck the fire spitter will light you on fire, when this happens run in a circle so you end up facing the way you started (to my knowledge this is the only way to build up enough speed) you should start sliding on your butt towards the brown pillar on the wall. After a split second of sliding, jump towards the pillar, wallkick and hold right for all you're worth. With a HUGE ammount of luck you'll just grab the top of the grating. From here you can pull yoursef up and drop down back into the pipe.
There you go. I think Bullet Bill of the GameFAQs forum deserves credit for first realising that this jump may be possible, I came up with this technique before viewing this passage from Bullet Bill's website:
"Wet-Dry Tunnel. Has anyone found a way to get back up into the tunnel when the lower level is drained? (I mean without a Gameshark! I've already done it with one) Maybe there is an elaborate sequence of jumps that will get you up there. After all, why would there be a fire spitter up on the sloped roof unless there is a reason for Mario to be up there? Or more likely, someone has managed to start the water draining then swim up fast enough to enter the pipe."
Eerie...
Anyways, to help you I made a short video:
