They represent the different areas in each [[world]]. There are five types of panels:

|{{anchor|Action Panel}} '''Action Panel'''<ref name=GBA/>

|style="text-align:left"|Action Panels, originally named '''Action Scene Panels''',<ref name=NES17/><ref name=SNES/> are where [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] access the various action scenes, or [[level]]s, found on the map. They cannot pass an Action Panel unless they have completed its level. Once either character has done so, the Action Panel becomes a '''Cleared Panel'''<ref name=GBA/> (also called a '''Clear Panel'''),<ref name=NES16/><ref name=SNES/> which depicts an ''M'' (for Mario) or an ''L'' (for Luigi), depending on which character completed the level. Once either Mario or Luigi completes a level, neither of them can revisit it, so he must move on to the next area. ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' lets the player revisit worlds and Action Panels after [[World 8-Bowser's Castle (Super Mario Bros. 3)|Bowser's Castle]] is cleared.

|style="text-align:left"|Spade Panels are optional areas that, when accessed, allow Mario or Luigi to play a slot machine-like [[minigame]]. The player's objective is to line up three pictures to show either a [[Super Mushroom|Mushroom]], a [[Fire Flower|Flower]], or a [[Super Star|Star]], which reward two, three, and five [[extra life|extra lives]], respectively. If any of the pictures are not properly aligned, the player does not earn any extra lives. Regardless of the outcome, a Spade Panel becomes a Clear Panel once the minigame is finished.

''Super Mario Advance 4'' lets the player revisit Spade Panels once [[Completion|all the levels are cleared]]. Additionally, clearing a Spade Panel turns all of them into {{conjectural|Heart Panels}} (which replace the Star with a [[Super Leaf]] that gives a 7-Up), clearing those turns them into {{conjectural|Club Panels}} (the Super Leaf becomes a number "3" that gives a 10-Up), and clearing those turns them into {{conjectural|Diamond Panels}} (which is a certain win). Failing at any of these or clearing a Diamond Panel resets the process.

|style="text-align:left"|A special type of Spade Panel that appears on the map for every 80,000 [[point]]s Mario or Luigi earns. Unlike with other panels, the player automatically accesses an N-Mark Spade Panel when they move onto it. Here, they can play a simple card-matching game in which they must flip over two random cards each turn. Each pair that matches earns Mario or Luigi a reward, depending on which item is shown on the paired cards. If the player does not get a match two times or matches all cards, the minigame ends, and they are returned to the world map.
