'''Flip Panels''',<ref>{{cite|title=''New Super Mario Bros.'' instruction booklet|page=21|date=2006|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> also known as '''Revolving Doors'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario World'' instruction booklet|page=13|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1991}}</ref> or '''Revolving Gates''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' instruction booklet|page=26|date=2002|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> are a type of [[Chain-Link|fence]]-based object that rotates the player and certain enemies to the other side of the fence when hit.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
Revolving Doors first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where they can be found in [[1 Iggy's Castle|#1 Iggy's Castle]] and the second room of [[Front Door]]. They are objects attached to fences that, when hit, rotate the player onto the other side of the fence.

====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
Revolving Gates return in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', appearing in certain areas of [[Ricco Harbor]] and [[Pinna Park]]. One mission, [[The Runaway Ferris Wheel]], involves [[Mario]] using a particular Revolving Gate in the latter area to defeat the [[Electro-Koopa King]] and obtain said mission's [[Shine Sprite]].

When climbing on vertical Revolving Gates, the player must press {{button|gcn|B}} to flip them, but when climbing from the bottom of a horizontal Revolving Gate, the player must press {{button|gcn|A}} instead. To flip a horizontal Revolving Gate from the top, the player must perform a [[Ground Pound]].

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
Flip Panels reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' In this game, they also come in two different sizes; while the small ones have dimensions 2×2 and take roughly a third of a second to flip over, the large ones have dimensions 12×4 and take roughly three quarters of a second to flip over. While two large ones appear in {{world link|3|towern|World 3-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)}} along with a small one in the area with the [[level]]'s third [[Star Coin]], numerous small ones appear throughout {{world link|4|towern|World 4-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)}}.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Flip Panels return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', behaving the same as in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', though the small ones have dimensions 4×4. Though eighteen appear as the basis of the minigame [[Power-up Panels]], only three others appear in the entire rest of the game, all of which are found in {{world link|4|castle|World 4-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}: A small one appears near the beginning of the level, a large one subsequently appears just after the level's first Star Coin, and another small one appears just before the [[Warp Door]] leading to the [[Checkpoint Flag|midway point]].

Notably, [[List of New Super Mario Bros. Wii glitches#Infinite Coins|a particular glitch]] involving the large Flip Panel exists in this game; if the player uses an [[Ice Ball]] to freeze a [[Climbing Koopa]], then flips the Flip Panel while the Climbing Koopa intersects it, the Climbing Koopa will fall to the ground and produce infinite [[coin]]s.

===''Super Mario World'' television series===

A single Revolving Door appears in the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' episode "[[Mama Luigi]]," with the baby [[Yoshi|Yoshisaur]] jumping through one while Mario and [[Luigi]] chase him through [[Bowser's Castle|King Koopa's Neon Castle]].

===''Mario Party'' series===
In the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], Flip Panels appear only in two games, ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]''. In ''Mario Party 9'', a handful of Flip Panels of different sizes appear in the minigame [[Cage Match (minigame)|Cage Match]], where they function identically as in the platform games and are necessary in order to reach [[Bowser Jr.]] In ''Mario Party: Star Rush'', six Flip Panels are the basis of the minigame [[Bowser's Fence Fury]], where if [[Bowser]] smacks a Flip Panel while a player is on it, they are automatically eliminated from the [[minigame]].
