'''Red-Blue Flipping Platforms''' are platforms that are occasionally found in 3-D Mario platformers. They appear as flat tiles, suspended in midair, that flip over after a certain amount of time or when Mario [[spin]]s. They can be found in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and each game has different designs and mechanics for these platforms.

Red-Blue Flipping Platforms appear only in the second secret mission of [[Bianco Hills]], [[Bianco Hills#The Secret of the Dirty Lake|The Secret of the Dirty Lake]]. They are sets of wooden platforms that either have red on both sides, or blue on both sides. Every few seconds, the red platforms will flip, followed by the blue platforms flipping at the same time interval. Some of these platforms also moved along a set path as they flipped.
*[[Super Mario Galaxy 2/Glitches#Flip-Swap Superjump|A glitch]] utilizing these platforms can be performed in the [[Flip-Swap Galaxy]], which allows [[Mario]] to "jump" much higher than he would normally be able to.
 
*A similar type of platform makes an appearance in "[[Bianco Hills#Episode 6: The Secret of the Dirty Lake|The Secret of the Dirty Lake]]" mission of [[Bianco Hills]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. These platforms also flip over, though they are orange and blue instead of red and blue, and are not controlled by the player.

Red-Blue Flipping Platforms appear as the primary stage element of the [[Flip-Swap Galaxy]]. These platforms are now colored red on one side and blue on the other side. When Mario [[spin]]s at any time, all platforms in the area will flip along a hinge to their opposite side. Mario could also use these platforms to do a superjump, known as the [[Super Mario Galaxy 2/Glitches#High Jumps Glitch|High Jumps Glitch]]. Also, Red-Blue Flipping Platforms appear in [[Chompworks Galaxy#Flipping Platforms Galaxy|one of the planets]] in the [[Chompworks Galaxy]], where Chomps could roll along a line of these platforms, and even turn when the platforms changed direction.

Red-Blue Flipping Platforms are platforms that are found only in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are flat metallic tiles suspended in midair, colored red on one side and blue on the other side. When Mario performs a spin move, the platforms will flip over, causing the red platforms to show while the blue ones are hidden, or vice versa. Red-Blue Flipping Platforms appear as the primary stage element of the Flip-Swap Galaxy, though minor sections of the same platforms also make an appearance in various parts of the Chompworks Galaxy and the Grandmaster Galaxy. In order to successfully make his way through the areas in which these platforms are present, Mario must skillfully spin to make them flip at exactly the right moment, otherwise he will fall into open space and lose a life.
