Secret switch
Sprite of the two secret switches, from Virtual Boy Wario Land.
First appearance Virtual Boy Wario Land (1995)

A secret switch[1] is an object in Virtual Boy Wario Land. There are only two secret switches, and both appear in Stage 6. Each secret switch has a picture of half a mask. One switch (which shows the left side of the mask) is found in a room under the waterfall that is accessible only by King Dragon Wario, due to the placement of Bonfire Blocks. Pressing this switch does not have any immediate effect. The player must then go to the second switch, which is found in plain sight halfway up the stage's waterfall. Its button is then raised after the player presses the first switch. Pressing the second switch's button sets off a bomb that causes a nearby rock wall to break apart. This reveals a hidden door in the background of the stage, which is then accessible using the jump transporters. The hidden room contains the stage's treasure: a dress.
