'''Switch Blocks''' are [[block]]s that appear exclusively in ''[[Mario & Wario]]''. They come in two sizes, as well as two colors. The red Switch Blocks are filled in and solid by default, and the blue Switch Blocks are intangible and marked with dotted lines by default. [[Wanda]] can use her [[magic wand]] on any Switch Block to swap the physical states of all the red and blue versions, which must be done for the character to traverse through certain levels. In this way, Switch Blocks act identically to [[Dotted-Line Block]]s, which appear in other games.

Sprites of the Switch Blocks

Switch Blocks are blocks in Mario & Wario. They appear in red varieties, which are filled in and solid by default, and blue varieties, which are intangible and marked with dotted lines by default. Switch Blocks are affected by Wanda's magic wand, as it can swap the physical states of the red and blue varieties, which is required for the character to traverse certain levels. Switch Blocks are comparable to Dotted-Line Blocks from the Super Mario series.
