History
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Red-Blue Panels as seen in the Flip-Swap Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2
In Super Mario Galaxy 2, 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. Red-Blue 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.
Super Mario 3D Land
Red-Blue Panels return in Super Mario 3D Land, where they function the same as in the previous game. They are now activated simply by jumping, making the player plan their jumps in order to avoid falling down a bottomless pit.
