| A '''skull switch'''<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide|page=26|date=May 15, 2006|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|isbn=1-59812-009-3}}</ref> is an object in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' The switch takes the role of the [[axe]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', since activating it takes away the bridge platform and defeats the boss. The first skull switch appears in the [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1]] battle against [[Bowser]], the second with [[Dry Bowser]], and the third and last one with Bowser and [[Bowser Jr.]] When the player character sets foot on the platform with the skull switch, the boss runs towards him, trying to toss him back onto the bridge. Even if the boss is defeated through other means, the skull switch still has to be pressed to complete the level, regardless.

| In later ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, starting with ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the skull switches are replaced by [[! Switch]]es.
| | '''Skull Switches'''{{refneeded}} are items found in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' In total, the switch is found in three boss fights; the first with [[Bowser]], the second with [[Dry Bowser]], and the third with Bowser and [[Bowser Jr.]] In the aforementioned boss battles, [[Mario]]'s goal is to avoid the attacks of the bosses and hit the Skull Switch, causing the bridge which Bowser is standing on to collapse and send him plummeting downwards to whatever may lie beneath. When Mario sets foot on the safe platform with the switch, Bowser/Dry Bowser will run towards him and try to toss him back onto the bridge. Even though Mario can defeat Bowser with [[fireball]]s, he still needs to press the switch as in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' |
