Switch Palaces[1] are places in Super Mario World. Throughout various levels, there are many colored outline squares called Dotted-Line Blocks. These squares can become ! Blocks by activating their respective color's ! Switch at the Switch Palaces. Switch Palaces are usually found by accessing the secret exit of an adjacent level (the only exception being the Yellow Switch Palace). A total of four Switch Palaces are accessible in Dinosaur Land. Each one of them is not playable again once it is completed.

Trivia
- In the German translation of Super Mario 64, the locations of the Cap Switches are called Switch Palaces. The Tower of the Wing Cap is called "Red Switch Palace", the Cavern of the Metal Cap is called "Green Switch Palace", and Vanish Cap Under the Moat is called "Blue Switch Palace". This is also true of the English Prima Games coverage.[3]
