A floor panel to open a hole or to summon enemies if done by Mario with enough speed. The game's floor panels are first seen in the first room of the pyramid, where the left and right floor panels open the holes, while the center floor panel summons Snakes. The floor panels that summon enemies disable other floor panels until the enemies are defeated. Part of an exception is with the Snakes, in which case the floor panels are also reset if a Snake falls through the vent. Another part of an exception is with the Shy Guys in the room with one column, in which case the floor panels are also reset if the Shy Guys return behind the column. If a floor panel is hit in a room where Toad's tent is, the tent disappears. The floor panel that starts a boss fight with the Egyptian Koopa is pressed down forever once the boss is defeated.
