Editing View plate

'''View plates'''<ref>{{cite|author=Esmarch, Nick van|title=''Super Mario 3D Land PRIMA Official Game Guide''|format=Premiere Edition|location=Roseville|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=2011|page=20, 30, 59|isbn=978-0-307-89386-4}}</ref> are switches in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They appear only in bonus rooms accessed via [[Warp Pipe]]s. These rooms all have a fixed camera, and they contain a configuration of [[Empty Block]]s and a [[Star Medal]]. The Empty Blocks are laid out in a way that resembles an {{wp|optical illusion}}; if the player tries to [[jump]] to where it looks like the Star Medal is, they do not collect it. If the player steps on a view plate, it changes the camera's position in these rooms, which breaks the illusion. The direction the camera moves is different for each level. Only three view plates are used in the game; they are located in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 1-1]], [[World 2-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 2-1]], and [[World 4-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 4-4]].
