Sprites of the Switch Blocks

Switch Blocks are blocks in Mario & Wario. They appear in red varieties, which are filled in and solid by default, and blue varieties, which are intangible and marked with dotted lines by default. Switch Blocks are affected by Wanda's magic wand, as it can swap the physical states of the red and blue varieties, which is required for the character to traverse certain levels. Switch Blocks are comparable to Dotted-Line Blocks from the Super Mario series.
