In Super Mario Galaxy, Mario (or Luigi) can activate Lever Switches by spinning into them. Lever Switches can have a variety of different effects, obviously depending on their location in the level, etc. Their functions can range anywhere from turning on lights in dark areas to causing entire platforms to move forward or backward.

In addition to this, a second player can use the Co-Star Luma to spin into levers and activate them as well, thereby eliminating the need for Mario to come in direct contact with a lever in order to activate it.
