The Green Switch Palace is a Switch Palace found on the west side of Donut Plains in Super Mario World. It is unlocked by finding the secret exit in Donut Plains 2. This level cannot be replayed after it has been completed.
Layout[edit]
The palace consists of two rooms, which the player has 200 seconds on the timer to complete. The first room has two levels. While the player can just use the above platform and take the Warp Pipe to the second room, which has the Green Switch, there is also the option to hit the Switch Block and to defeat the Koopa Troopas on the lower level with a Red Shell by letting the blue unshelled Koopa kick it. When all the Koopa Troopas are hit at once, the player gets an extra life. If the player stomps on the blue unshelled Koopa so it cannot kick the shell automatically and stomps on several of the red Koopa Troopas to split them into their shells and unshelled Koopas, this can create more targets for the shell to hit and thus more extra lives.
The second room contains nothing except the Green Switch, which can be activated by jumping on it. When the Green Switch is hit, all green Dotted-Line Blocks turn into Green Blocks, which contain Cape Feathers when hit. In later castles, a single Green Block often appears before the boss door, giving Mario or Luigi one more power-up before he faces a Koopaling. These blocks also help the player progress through the levels by filling in some gaps. Green Blocks can be found in 20 levels:
- Donut Plains 1
- Donut Plains 2
- Donut Plains 3
- #2 Morton's Castle
- Vanilla Dome 1
- Vanilla Secret 2
- #3 Lemmy's Castle
