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 (location)|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.


The '''Yellow Switch Palace''' is a level in the game ''[[Super Mario World]]'' that contains a giant, yellow [[! Switch]]. It's the first [[Switch Palace]] that [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] find, as the palace is not hidden. It's on top of [[Kappa Mountain]] in the northwest of [[Yoshi's Island]], and is accessed by completing [[Yoshi's Island 1]]. The entire level contains no enemies or powerups and cannot be replayed after it has been completed.
==Layout==
 
The palace consists of two rooms, which the player has 200 seconds on the [[Time Limit|timer]] to complete. The first room of the palace is a large open area with a single [[P Switch|Switch Block]] that can be optionally activated to add 470 [[coin]]s 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 [[! Switch|Yellow Switch]], which ends the level upon being activated, also causing every yellow [[Dotted-Line Block]] to become [[! Block|Yellow Block]]s in 21 levels:

The palace consists of two rooms, which the player has 200 seconds on the [[Time Limit|timer]] to complete. The first room of the Palace is a large open area with a single [[P-Switch]]. When the switch is hit, the room will get filled with about 500 [[Coin]]s, and the player will have about ten seconds to collect as many as possible; however, the player is not required to hit the P-Switch to progress through the level.
 
A [[Warp Pipe]] will guide the player to the second room, which contains the yellow ! Switch. The player can simply jump on top of it to activate it and end the level.
 
==Gameplay effects==
Once the yellow ! Switch is activated, all the yellow [[Dotted Line Block]]s will turn into yellow [[Exclamation Mark Block|! Blocks]]. During gameplay, a [[Super Mushroom]] will appear when a yellow ! Block is hit. These blocks also help the player progress through levels by filling in some gaps. The Yellow ! Blocks only appear in 20 levels after that.

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:

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.
