| In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', when [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) performs a [[spin]], the platforms flip over, causing the red platforms to show while the blue ones are hidden, or vice versa. Flipping 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. | | 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 also appear in ''Super Mario 3D World'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port, ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''. Here, the panels are noticeably larger, and they are again activated by jumps. While [[Rosalina]] can spin, the move does not affect the panels, unlike in their first appearance. In ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', they are utilized in the mission Bully the Cat Bullies in [[Fort Flaptrap]].

| | *A similar type of platform made an appearance in "[[Bianco Hills#Episode 6: The Secret of the Dirty Lake|The Secret of the Dirty Lake]]" mission of [[Bianco Hills]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. These platforms also flip over, though they are wooden and are not controlled by the player. Also unlike Flip-Swap Platforms, these have a yellow version found in a different level that never stop rotating. |
