European instruction booklet|language=en-gb|date=2012|publisher=Nintendo of Europe|page=18}}</ref> or simply a '''switch''', is a type of [[Switch Block (disambiguation)|Switch Block]] first seen in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They usually either turn [[block]]s solid or affect the environment in some capacity.
The '''! Switch''' (also called '''! Switch Block''' in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'') was first seen in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. The switches come in four colors, Yellow, Green, Blue and Red. Stomping on the switches activates them. When activated, they turn [[Dotted Line Block]]s into [[! Block]]s of the corresponding color. They have the same purpose in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ! Switches could be activated to find a secret passage. In ''Super Mario 64'', the yellow ! Switch isn't present since the yellow ! Block is available by default.


==History==
They are later found in the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' series. This time, the switches only appear red or blue. Blue switches can only be used once, and normally open passages of some kind. Red switches can be used an unlimited amount of times, and are normally used for moving important objects. However, the red ! Switches found in the [[Palace of Shadow]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' are the only red ! Switches that can only be used once to move a wheel allowing [[Mario]] and his friends to get to the [[Shadow Queen]]'s throne room and crypt.
===''Super Mario'' series===
There are also black and white ! Switches found in [[the Great Tree]]. [[Mario]] and company pushed the black switch to reveal four white ! Switches in the room where Mario found the blue key to free the other [[Puni]]es. Mario had to hit the white ! Switches in this order: [[sun]], [[moon]], Puni and [[star]] to retrieve the [[Super Boots]].
====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====
[[File:SMWswitches.png|frame|left|The four big switches from ''Super Mario World'']]
Each of the four [[Switch Palace]]s in ''Super Mario World'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]] feature a differently colored ! Switch (simply referred to as a "'''big switch'''" in the manual<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario World'' English instruction booklet|page=21}}</ref> and also known as a '''Switch'''<ref>{{cite|date=September 1991|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 28|page=14 and 22|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref>) of a different color, in the order of '''Yellow Switch''',<ref name=mania>{{cite|title=''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref>{{ref page|56}} the '''Green Switch''',<ref name=mania/>{{ref page|67}} the '''Red Switch''',<ref name=mania/>{{ref page|82}} or the '''Blue Switch'''.<ref name=mania/>{{ref page|108}} They turn every [[Dotted-Line Block]] of the same color into an [[!

[[File:Eventswitch.png|frame|left]]
[[File:SM64 Purple Switch.png|thumb|left|A Purple Switch from ''Super Mario 64'']]
The ! Switch also appeared in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. It can be accessed after the player beats [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|3-5]]. After the switch is hit, all the invisible [[Dotted Line Block]]s turn into [[Red Switch Block]]s, which give access to [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|3-4]]'s goal. Hitting the ! Switch is needed for completion of [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3]]. Also, the ! Switches replace the [[Skull Switch]] in [[Bowser]]'s battle
[[File:NSMB Unused Purple Switch.png|thumb|A Switch from ''Super Mario 64 DS'']]
''[[Super Mario 64]]'' features two types of ! Switches. '''Purple Switches'''<ref>{{cite|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|title=''[[Super Mario 64]]'' Player's Guide|page=18}}</ref> (or '''Purple Exclamation Switches''')<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|language=en-us|archive=web.archive.org/web/19980224211156/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/super_mario64/bowser1.html|title="Bowser in the Dark World" ''Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy|publisher=nintendo.com|accessdate=March 15, 2022}}</ref> appear in most courses and are flat and rectangular in shape, being colored plum in ''Super Mario 64'' and later dark red in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Purple Switches usually cause either breakable platforms to appear or make it possible to bypass terrain. A Purple Switch makes a ticking sound indicating its effects and sounds increasingly fast until the effects expire. The original version also has three [[Cap Switch]]es, which are shaped like ! Switches in the previous game and similarly make a certain type of block usable, [[Cap Block]]s. ''Super Mario 64 DS'' integrates the functions of the three ! Switches into one red [[? Switch]] and adds another variation, the [[Star Switch]].


====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[Image: SwitchYellow.png|frame|left|The Yellow '''! Switch'''.]]
Small yellow !-Switches are in three [[World-e]] levels of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': [[Doors o' Plenty]], [[A Sky-High Adventure]], and [[Sea to Sky]]. Pressing them turns every Dotted-Line Block into ! Blocks temporarily. They can be carried, similar to [[P Switch|Switch Block]]s, though they can be activated more than once.
In ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]'', a Red ! Switch appears in each world. If [[Mario]] hits one of these switches hard enough, 8 [[Red Coin]]s pop out and have been landed in almost every area in the world. Mario has to find 8 Red Coins around the world within the time limit. Hitting the switch is worth 3000 points as it is used. If Mario didn't get all the Red Coins, Mario has another chance to get all the Red Coins. But if Mario gets all the Red Coins on time, Mario obtains the [[Power Star]], if collected; the deactivated switch is changed into a Red [[! Block]].

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
==Names in Other Languages==
Every ! Switch is red in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', temporarily making every Dotted-Line Block into a [[Red Block]].

====''Super Mario Galaxy'' / ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:SMG2 Stone Cyclone Tox Boxes.png|thumb|left|A blue switch in ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
{{main|Blue switch (Super Mario Galaxy)}}
There are ! Switches titled [[blue switch (Super Mario Galaxy)|blue switch]]es, a type of [[Ground-Pound Switch]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' with a temporary effect indicated by a timer noise.
 
An [[list of Super Mario Galaxy pre-release and unused content#Unused data|unused model]] of a red checkpoint ! Switch is in the files of ''Super Mario Galaxy''.
 
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
! Switches appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Activating one in [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3]] makes every Red Block usable in [[World 3-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3-4]] and [[World 3-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3-5]], though a different one nearby deactivates them. A ! Switch functions in place of an [[axe]] during the final battle with [[Bowser]], causing him to fall, and a [[large ! Switch]] is later into the battle, defeating Bowser completely.
 
====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:NSMB2_World_3-3_Jump.png|thumb|A ! Switch upside down on a platform in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'']]
Red ! Switches are single-use objects in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They usually cause [[coin]]s to appear, but they do appear in various fights against Bowser, including the final one, [[Dry Bowser]] in [[World Star (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Star]], and in the [[Third Course (Gold Classics Pack)|third course]] of the [[Gold Classics Pack]].
 
====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. Deluxe''====
The map of [[Rock-Candy Mines]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' has red and blue switches similar to ! Switches, and one functions in the battle against Bowser the same as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.
 
====''Super Mario Run''====
! Switches are yellow in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', although Red Blocks are formed from [[Dotted-Line Block]]s temporarily. [[Scuttlebug Forest]] has some ! Switches that cause coins to dangle from strings temporarily.
 
====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
There is only one ! Switch in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', found in the second [[10-flower coin]] room of [[The Midway Trial: Hop to It]]. Having a [[Hoppycat]] press the ! Switch causes a line of yellow blocks to form over [[Spike Trap|spikes]] temporarily, then the player character has a chance to get the 10-flower coin. There is also a [[large ! Switch]] under the chin of [[Wonder Bowser]].

Jumping on them causes the [[Dotted-Line Block]]s to transform into red [[! Block]]s. These allow the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] to cross obstacles such as [[pit]]s and spikes, or reach otherwise inaccessible areas. Pressing these switches also occasionally causes a warp to a bonus area to appear, indicated by a red arrow above it. ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' instead features the [[? Switch]], which has a similar role to the latter function.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
Switches are green, circular, and have a flat top in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. One in [[Kero Sewers]] drains the water in the main portion, and [[Belome]] stands on another with more water contained behind a lock. A switch is also found in a house of [[Rose Town]] and activates the stairway to it. [[Booster Tower]] has a switch that opens a path in [[Booster Pass]]. Belome stands on a different switch in [[Belome Temple]], now causing a door to [[Monstro Town]] to be closed. Several switches are in one of [[Dr. Topper]]'s puzzles in [[Bowser's Keep]], where pressing them is required. There is lastly a switch in the [[Factory (Super Mario RPG)|Factory]] that activates a crane to [[Smithy]]'s workshop.
 
===''Wario Land 4''===

====''Paper Mario''====
[[File:PM Exclaimation Switch Render.png|frame|left]]
[[File:PM Kooper Fortress Switch.png|thumb|[[Mario]] using [[Kooper]] to hit a switch in [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]]]]
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', switches trigger various events when hit or jumped on and are often involved in puzzles. The standard dome-shaped switches appear in blue and red. Blue switches can only be used once, normally for opening passages of some kind, while the red switches can be used an unlimited amount of times, and are normally used for moving important objects.
 
In the prologue, the [[Goomboss|Goomba King]] warns [[Mario]] not to press a blue switch, claiming it is "dangerous". However, Mario presses it, the [[Goomba King's Fortress]] turns into a bridge, and the Goomba King and [[Red & Blue Goomba Bros.|Goomba Bros.]] are thrown away. In Chapter 1, Mario has to use [[Kooper]] to press switches that appear over gaps. In [[Dry Dry Ruins (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Ruins]], flat, stone, square off-pink colored ones appear in certain rooms and are used to drain sand, or in one case cause stairs to emerge from a wall. Similar switches without the exclamation mark are used to rotate stairways.
 
In the basement of [[Boo's Mansion]], a giant-sized switch appears, and must be triggered using a [[Ground Pound|Spin Jump]] to make the stairs appear. In Chapter 6, a series of paired stone elevators appear with flat, square switches on top in red, green, and purple and must be navigated to reach the [[Puff Puff Machine]]; these also must be pressed with a Spin Jump.
 
In Chapter 7, a flat, circular green one nearly identical to the ones in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', called a '''floor switch''' by [[Goombario]], appears on [[Shiver Mountain]] and is used to raise a platform of icy ground. Additionally, more flat square switches which change color when slammed are used to switch between doors in the [[Crystal Palace]], and Mario needs [[Bombette]] for two round red switches that activate a rotating door in the same area. Finally, Bowser uses another green floor switch to remove the bridge to the [[Power Platform]] once Mario and his team have boarded, triggering the final battle.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[File:Shell Toss Info.png|thumb|[[Shell Toss]] demonstration]]
Switches make appearances in several parts of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', appearing as red or blue like the previous, as well as retaining its usual functionality of hitting blue switches once and red switches for an unlimited amount of time. Standard switches in this game are now cube-shaped. On rare occasions, they float in the air as blocks and must be jumped at to activate.
 
In [[Petal Meadows]], Mario has to hit two blue switches with circular insides, called '''tandem switches''' (which appear after retrieving the [[Sun Stone|two Stone]] [[Moon Stone|Keys]] in [[Shhwonk Fortress]]), simultaneously to activate the [[Warp Pipe]] to [[Hooktail Castle]]; he accomplishes this by utilizing [[Koops]]'s hold ability.
 
There are also black and white switches found in [[the Great Tree]]. [[Mario]] and company push the black switch to reveal four white switches in the room where Mario found the blue key to free the other [[Puni]]es. Mario has to hit the white switches in this order: Sun, Moon, Puni, and Star to retrieve the [[Super Boots]]. Also in the Great Tree is a light-blue colored flat switch (simply called a "typical switch" by [[Goombella]]) which causes a standard blue switch to move underwater whenever it is depressed. Koops' hold ability again must be used to hit the switch when it comes back out.
 
A giant '''super switch''' appears outside the juice bar in [[Glitzville]]. Mario needs to perform a Spin Jump on it to activate it, allowing him to reach the roof. More super switches appear in [[Rogueport Underground]], and cause blue pipes to appear when triggered.
 
Switches with numbers inside appear in the lower floors of the [[Riverside Station]]. Mario and friends have to defeat three [[Goomba]]s guarding them to access them. The left switch has to be hit 3 times, the center switch has to be hit 10 times and the right switch only has to be hit once. Hitting the switches the correct amount of times will make them flash red until the last switch is hit. After all the switches are hit, the switches will vanish, opening a staircase leading Mario and friends to the [[Ultra Boots]], as well as a [[Shine Sprite]]. Goombella cannot tattle these switches.
 
Seven red switches found in the [[Palace of Shadow]] are the only red switches that can only be used once. They move a wheel allowing [[Mario]] and his friends to get to the [[Shadow Queen]]'s throne room and crypt. From left to right, hitting the first, third, fourth and sixth switches, as noted by the stars underneath the wheel, will activate it.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
[[File:SPM Yold Ruins Big Red Switch.png|thumb|left|A giant red switch]]
[[File:SPM Blue Switch.png|thumb|200px|A blue switch]]
Red and blue switches appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' similarly as before. Floating block versions are uncovered by the [[Pixl]] [[Fleep]]. A standard blue switch can be activated to spawn a giant red switch on the floor of [[Yold Ruins]], causing [[Spiky Tromp]]s to fall into a large pit and opening access to a door. [[Flopside]] similarly has one near a [[Heart Pillar]]. Switches changing between blue and pink appear in [[The Dotwood Tree]], spawning platforms of the same color but removing those of the other color. Four switches in [[Floro Caverns]] change between black, white, blue, and red, and changing them is required to match nearby portraits of [[Floro Sapien]] royalty.

===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:SuperMarioKun !Switch 3.jpg|thumb|left|150px|In one part of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', the switch is used to activate blocks so they can fall and defeat the [[Rex]].]]
! Switches appear several times in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. In one instance, the switch is used to defeat Rex. In another instance, a Reznor knocks Mario onto a building shaped like the ! Switch. After defeating the Reznor, Mario is shown to be exasperated at a set of invisible blocks, which require a ! Switch to activate.
 
===''Mario Pinball Land''===
''[[Mario Pinball Land]]'' includes the '''Red Switch''',<ref name=mpl>{{cite|url=www.thegameisafootarcade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Mario-Pinball-Land-Game-Manual.pdf|title=''Mario Pinball Land'' instruction booklet|page=23|date=2004|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|format=PDF}}</ref>{{ref page|23}} found in every level, and the '''Blue Switch''',<ref name=mpl/> appearing in [[Grassy Greens Stage]], the Bob-omb minigame within the blue [[Toad's tent]], and in the boss fight against Bowser. Both types of switches give 3,000 [[point]]s when activated. The Red Switch spawns eight [[Red Coin]]s temporarily, but one can activate it again afterward until Mario gets a [[Power Star|Star]], turning the deactivated switch into a red [[! Block]] with a [[Yoshi's Egg|Special Egg]]. The Blue Switch functions differently by location, including by making the windmill accessible in Grassy Greens Stage, making cannons shoot a Bob-omb if activated while flashing, and dropping [[Thwomp]]s during the Bowser battle temporarily, obstructing him.
 
===''Mario Party 6''===
A non-functional green, a yellow, and a red ! Switch are displayed inside of [[Orb hut]]s in ''[[Mario Party 6]]''.
{{br}}
 
===''Super Princess Peach''===
Switches are found in the [[Fury Volcano]] stages and certain secret stages in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They can be activated while the [[Rage]] [[vibe]] is in effect. There are orange, floating, block-like switches that can turn on or off, and they appear blue in [[Wavy Beach]].
 
===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''===
{{multiframe
|[[File:MLBIS ! Switch On.png]] [[File:MLBIS ! Switch Off.png]]

}}
}}
There are many ! Switches in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]]. They can only be activated using [[Bowser]]'s [[Body Slam (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)|Body Slam]] attack. ! Switches are pink (red in the remake) and transparent but otherwise use their design from ''Super Mario 64''. ! Switches have various effects, like opening doors or spawning platforms, then they become grayed, meaning they are no longer usable.
===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
Red and yellow ! Switches are in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. The red ! Switches work the same as in the ''Yoshi's Island'' series. The yellow type, found only in [[Perils of the Perplexing Pyramid]], works the opposite by turning yellow ! Blocks back into Dotted Line Blocks.


===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
Several red, blue, and yellow ! Switches appear in {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light}} of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', most prominently within the {{iw|smashwiki|Molten Fortress}}. They cause ! Blocks to appear, creating functional bridges composed of ! Blocks.
