| | '''Switch Palaces''' are places in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Throughout various levels, there are many colored outline squares called [[Dotted Line Block]]s. These squares can become [[Exclamation Mark Block|! Block]]s by activating their respective color's [[! Switch]] at the Switch Palaces. Switch Palaces are usually found by accessing the secret exit of an adjacent level (the only exception being the [[Yellow Switch Palace]]). A total of four Switch Palaces are accessible in [[Dinosaur Land]]. |

Block]]s) throughout the game's other levels. In addition to becoming [[platform]]s, the ! Blocks may contain certain [[List of power-ups|power-ups]] or be empty, depending on the color and game.

| ===''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''===
| |
| There are four Switch Palaces in ''Super Mario World'' and its [[reissue]], ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''. Each one contains a bonus room where at least one [[extra life]] can be earned and a hall with the big switch. Hitting it clears the level, and the Switch Palace [[Unrevisitable area|cannot be played again]], indicated by its [[world]] map icon also becoming pressed. Switch Palaces are usually unlocked from the secret exit of an adjacent level; the exception is the [[Yellow Switch Palace]], whose [[Yoshi's Island 1|previous level]] has only one exit.

| |
| In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', the three locations containing the [[Cap Switch]]es are called Switch Palaces in the German localization and certain English coverage.<ref>{{cite|publisher=EMAP|language=en-gb|title=''Official UK Nintendo Magazine'' Issue #56|date=May 1997|page=45}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Ultimate Nintendo 64 Pocket Power Guide, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=59|date=April 21, 1999|author=Prima Bath|publisher=Prima Games|isbn=0-7615-2083-X}}</ref> The [[Tower of the Wing Cap]], the [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap]], and [[The Secret Under the Moat|Vanish Cap Under the Moat]] are respectively called the Red, Green, and Blue Switch Palaces. Whereas yellow and green ! Blocks in ''Super Mario World'' contain extra power-ups that appear elsewhere, each color of ! Block in ''Super Mario 64'' is the sole means of accessing a corresponding [[cap]] power-up. Accordingly, the Cap Switch courses are themed around their respective power-ups. [[Mario]] starts a Cap Switch course with the power of its cap and can get a [[Power Star]] by collecting [[Red Coin]]s with the use of the power-up.
| |
| | |
| ''Super Mario 64 DS'' removes all but one of the switches: The caps' abilities are allocated to the four playable characters through the [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] and [[Wings (Super Mario 64 DS)|Wings]], both of which the ? Switch unlocks. The two courses whose Cap Switches were removed are renamed, and an extra Power Star is added to them.
