| '''Direction Switches'''<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/AGB_Mario_vs_Donkey_Kong.pdf ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' North American instruction booklet,] page 24.</ref> are objects that appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]. They are buttons that act very similarly to [[Switch (Donkey Kong)|switch]]es from ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]]. Two red lights are on either side of a Direction Switch, with one being lit to indicate the direction of [[Conveyor Belt|conveyor belt]]s and [[Lift|moving platform]]s. [[Mario]] can [[jump]] on a Direction Switch to press it, reversing the direction of these objects.

| In the remake, Direction Switches are slightly redesigned to further their resemblance to [[Color Switch]]es. The button is now colored white while the light indicators are now yellow and larger, making their indication much clearer to the player. Similar objects known as [[Conveyor Switch|conveyor switch]]es appear in future games in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]].
