Red Switch Palace
Template:Level The Red Switch Palace is the third switch palace Mario or Luigi encounters hidden in the events of Super Mario World and its remakes. It is found in Vanilla Dome. This level cannot be replayed after it has been completed.
Overview
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 Used Block with one Koopa in a spinning shell, a P-Switch, and Coins above the Koopas. 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), and the spinning Koopa will chase the player below, but it will kill the Koopas it passes, and when all Koopas are hit the player will be rewarded with an Extra Life. At the end of the room, the player can spin-jump on the spinning Koopa for another Extra Life. The player does not have to hit the P-Switch to progress, as 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.
