Editing Direction Switch

[[File:MarioVsDKSwitch_DirectionSwitch.png|thumb|right|A Direction Switch in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' ([[Nintendo Switch]])]]
'''Direction Switches'''<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/AGB_Mario_vs_Donkey_Kong.pdf ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' North American instruction booklet,] page 24.</ref> are objects that appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]. They are buttons that act very similarly to [[Switch (Donkey Kong)|switch]]es from ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]]. Two red lights are on either side of a Direction Switch, with one being lit to indicate the direction of [[Conveyor Belt|conveyor belt]]s and [[Lift|moving platform]]s. [[Mario]] can [[jump]] on a Direction Switch to press it, reversing the direction of these objects. [[Donkey Kong]] also uses Direction Switches in some of his battles, using them to change the direction of conveyor belts at specific times.

In the remake, Direction Switches are slightly redesigned to further their resemblance to [[Color Switch]]es. The button is now colored white while the light indicators are now yellow and larger, making their indication much clearer to the player. Similar objects known as [[Conveyor Switch|conveyor switch]]es appear in future games in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]].
