The Yellow Switch Palace is the first Switch Palace in Super Mario World. It is atop Kappa Mountain in the northwest of Yoshi's Island, and it can be unlocked by completing Yoshi's Island 1, being the only Switch Palace that does not require a secret exit to reveal. It is the only Switch Palace without enemies or power-ups.
Layout[edit]
The palace consists of two rooms, which the player has 200 seconds on the timer to complete. The first room of the palace is a large open area with a single Switch Block that can be optionally activated to add 470 coins to the area while giving the player 11.5~12.0 seconds to collect as many of them as possible. The second room, accessed from a Warp Pipe, has only the Yellow Switch, which ends the level upon being activated, also causing every yellow Dotted-Line Block to become Yellow Blocks in 21 levels:
- Yoshi's Island 1
- Yoshi's Island 2
- Yoshi's Island 3
- Yoshi's Island 4
- Donut Plains 1
- Donut Plains 2
- #2 Morton's Castle
- Vanilla Fortress
- Forest of Illusion 2
- Forest Fortress
- Chocolate Island 1
- Chocolate Island 2
- Chocolate Island 4
- #6 Wendy's Castle
- Valley Fortress
- Valley of Bowser 1
- Valley of Bowser 2
- Valley of Bowser 4
- #7 Larry's Castle
- Front Door
- Star World 5
The Yellow Switch Palace cannot be replayed after being completed, though an exploit in Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 makes it possible to replay.
