The '''Red Switch Palace''' is the third switch palace [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] encounters hidden in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and its remakes. It is found in [[Vanilla Dome]], although coding inside ''Super Mario World'' indicated that the Red Switch Palace would actually have been encountered much later (in fact, nearing the end of the game at [[Valley of Bowser]]). This level [[Unrevisitable locations|cannot be replayed]] after it has been completed.

The palace consists of two rooms, which the player has 200 seconds on the [[Time Limit|timer]] to complete. The first room has eight [[Koopa Troopa]]s, each separated by a [[Empty Block|Brown Block]], with one Koopa next to a [[Yellow Shell]]. There is a [[P Switch|Switch Block]] and a line of [[coin]]s above the Koopas. The first Koopa enters the Yellow Shell and becomes a [[shell (flashing)|flashing shell]]. The player can press the Switch Block to turn the coins into blocks and vice versa, then [[jump]] onto the blocks above and [[dash|run]] to the end of the room before the Switch Block's effect wears off. The flashing shell follows the player below and defeats the other eight Koopas, earning the player an [[extra life]].

These blocks help the player progress through [[level]]s by filling in certain gaps and allowing easy access to a few secret exits. Red Blocks can be found in fifteen levels:

Mario or Luigi can hit the P-Switch located near them and run to the coins above the Koopas (which have changed to Used Blocks). The spinning Koopa can chase Mario below, but it defeats the Koopas it passes. When all Koopas are hit Mario receives an [[extra life]]. At the end of the room, Mario can spin-jump on the spinning Koopa for another Extra Life. Mario does not have to hit the P-Switch to progress, since jumping from Used Block to Used Block will work also.


The second room is empty except for the Red [[! Switch]], which can be activated by jumping on it.

The Red Switch Palace is a Switch Palace found in the Vanilla Dome in Super Mario World and its reissue. It is the third Switch Palace that Mario or Luigi can encounter, and it is unlocked by finding the secret exit of Vanilla Dome 2; coding inside Super Mario World indicated that the Red Switch Palace would actually have been encountered much later (in fact, nearing the end of the game at the Valley of Bowser). This level cannot be replayed after it has been completed.

Layout[edit]

The Red Switch

The palace consists of two rooms, which the player has 200 seconds on the timer to complete. The first room has eight Koopa Troopas, each separated by a Brown Block, with one Koopa next to a Yellow Shell. There is a Switch Block and a line of coins above the Koopas. The first Koopa enters the Yellow Shell and becomes a flashing shell. The player can press the Switch Block to turn the coins into blocks and vice versa, then jump onto the blocks above and run to the end of the room before the Switch Block's effect wears off. The flashing shell follows the player below and defeats the other eight Koopas, earning the player an extra life.

The second room is empty except for the Red Switch, which is activated by jumping on it. When the Red Switch is hit, all red Dotted-Line Blocks become Red Blocks. These blocks help the player progress through levels by filling in certain gaps and allowing easy access to a few secret exits. Red Blocks can be found in fifteen levels:
