Gravity switches are objects that appear in Super Paper Mario. They are 2-D blocks only found in the Whoa Zone and are required to successfully navigate the area. When hit from beneath, these switches cause one of two effects depending on the symbol featured:
- Double-sided arrow: Gravity is inverted vertically (180 degrees)
- Clockwise arrow: Gravity is rotated (90 degrees clockwise)
Gravity is only altered for the playable character; enemies and thrown items are unaffected when hitting a gravity switch. A similar effect occurs when using the doors within the Woah Zone, as the orientation of gravity changes based on the orientation of the exit door.
