'''Reversible Platforms''' are platforms that are found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. 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.

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.

History[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Flipping panels as seen in the Flip-Swap Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2

Flipping panels are objects in Super Mario Galaxy 2. When Mario (or Luigi) performs a spin, the platforms flip over, causing the red platforms to show while the blue ones are hidden, or vice versa. Flipping panels 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 as well. 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.
