Please excuse the double post/minor bump from the bottom of the page. Since you asked for additional help, I took some time to throw together a visual tutorial to go along with beneficii's explanation. Hopefully it helps.

In this tutorial, we've decided that we'll be using a set of pipes on our World 1 Map. To do this, we'll use one of the World 8 pipe sets since we figure that we won't actually use all six of them when we get to the World 8 Map.

First, switch to the Pipes mode.



Use the Page Up/Page Down keys to go through the different pipe sets.



Use the left/right arrow keys to move along the map if it is longer than one screen. As seen in the following image, we've moved on the map to find the left entrance of Pipe Set #e. If you continue moving to the right, you'll find the right entrance as well.



What you want to do is move the entrances all the way to the left part of the screen so that when you're editing the World 1 Map, you'll be able to access them. To do this, left-click the left entrance if it is not already selected, use the left arrow key to move all the way to the left, and then right-click somewhere on the screen to move the left entrance to that new spot. Use the right arrow key to move towards the right to where the right entrance is, left-click it, and then use the left arrow key to go back to the left part of the screen again. Right-click to place the right entrance in a new spot as well.



Be sure to click the "Implement Changes" tab and/or select Save from the File menu. You must always save your changes before you change modes, or any unsaved changes will be lost. Next, if you don't know the actual level for the pipe set you're using, switch to the Pointers mode and hover over one of the pipes that originally used the pipe set you moved. In this example, we're using the "World 8 - Pipe 6" areas.



With the pipe set moved, you're free to go back to the World 1 Map to actually move the left and right entrances to the actual spots that you want to place and use them in. In case anyone's wondering, I just changed the World 1 Map palette using FCEUXD just for the fun of it (anything I can do to hopefully help motivate me to get back to ROM hacking ). Click the "Implement Changes" tab and/or select Save from the File menu again to save your changes.



Next, switch to the Pointers mode.



Left-click the pointer on one of the pipes (if your pipes don't have pointers, move them accordingly so that they do) and press the Enter key. The "Select Stage" window will appear. We want to select "World 8-Pipe 6 End 1" for the left entrance and "World 8-Pipe 6 End 2" for the right entrance. Save again.



Now you should have pipes for your World 1 Map! Tested and approved! Hopefully that helps you out.
