The palace consists of two rooms, which the player has 200 seconds on the [[Time Limit|timer]] to complete. The first room contains a blue [[P Switch|Switch Block]], a [[Gray P Switch]], and a line of [[Empty Block|Brown Block]]s with several [[Spiny|Spinies]] walking across the top.

Once that is finished, the player can hit the Switch Block to make the top row become coins and the bottom become solid brick. The player should immediately hit the Gray P Switch, turning the Spinies into [[Gray Coin]]s.

Once the switches wear off, the player can freely collect the bottom row before continuing to the next room. The player is not forced to hit either switch to progress through the level, however.

Layout[edit]

The Blue Switch

The palace consists of two rooms, which the player has 200 seconds on the timer to complete. The first room contains a blue Switch Block, a Gray P Switch, and a line of Brown Blocks with several Spinies walking across the top. The trick is to collect a handful of coins near the edge of the bottom row first before activating either of the switches. Once that is finished, the player can hit the Switch Block to make the top row become coins and the bottom become solid brick. The player should immediately hit the Gray P Switch, turning the Spinies into Gray Coins. The player should then quickly jump onto the solid bottom row and collect as many top-row coins as possible. If all the Gray Coins are collected, the player gets an extra life. Once the switches wear off, the player can freely collect the bottom row before continuing to the next room. The player is not forced to hit either switch to progress through the level, however.

The second room is empty except for the Blue Switch, which can be activated by jumping on top of it. Once the Blue Switch is hit, all the blue Dotted-Line Blocks become Blue Blocks. The Blue Blocks help the player progress through the levels by filling in gaps and allowing some secret exits to be reached. Blue Blocks can be found in thirteen levels:
