If you play Star Fury, you will see that warp points are represented as a true object looking like a blue sphere of some sort. (Usually, when warp points are not objects, they are represented with some symbol. Here it wasn't the case) So I would assume warp points are "true" objects, some sphere allowing to travel between the stars at once or so.

But it is more for strategical reasons that I (and from what I read in other threads, a few other as well) would like to change the way warp points are handled.
