In game Teleport mechanic

Hi guys Frox here.

Teleport Program
It's my first time making a game here and it's all going very well I just have one major programming difficulty. I decided to make my game for the app store and what I what to do is create a touch screen teleport system with 2d mario like platforming. The obvious problem is creating a program where you can just tap on an area on screen you would like to travel too and having the game simple do that upon touch.

Suggestions
I'd love to hear some suggestions to the problem. So if you have the time please help.

Do you mean something as simple as this:

When Level 1 Button is Tapped:
    Transition to Scene Level 1

Are you wanting instantaneous teleportation to the tap point, regardless of where the tap is? Or are you wanting the platformer character to move to your tap point, realistically? Ooor, are you wanting the character to just "walk" towards the tap point as a method of control? Or are you wanting a levels map (like Photon suggested?)

Not stage transitions, or tap to make the character move to a location kind of thing. I want an instant teleport to a desired location on a 2d screen.

Image your....playing a 2d game with regular platforming and you can't make a jump so you just teleport to the other side.

and it is just an ability? or are you ALWAYS able to do that?

They'll be a meter but you'll always be able to do it once you have the it. I'm trying to build and x y positioning sort of thing to make the programming recognize the positioning properly.
