A '''Flipswitch Panel'''<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy'' American instruction booklet, page 18.</ref><ref>''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' American instruction booklet, page 20.</ref> is a type of switch that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It starts off as a blue panel with a question mark on it. The panel turns yellow with an exclamation mark when it is stepped on, but it turns back to a blue question mark if it is stepped on again (the only exception is the Flipswitch Panels in the [[Gateway Galaxy]], which all have circles on them rather than a "?" or "!"). However, a Flipswitch Panel does not change if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] jumps and lands on it again before walking off it; Mario or Luigi must step onto another Flipswitch Panel or a regular platform in order to change the color of the Flipswitch Panel. When all of the Flipswitch Panels are stepped on in a specific area, they turn green and display a square on them. After this has happened, they no longer change. After this, an event occurs within the immediate area. A [[galaxy]] called the [[Flipswitch Galaxy]] has a planet made completely out of Flipswitch Panels. Sometimes Mario or Luigi is chased by [[Cosmic Clone]]s on Flipswitch Panel planets.

When Flipswitch Panels are stepped on, a tone is heard. The only exception is the panels in the [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', where no distinct tone can be heard and instead produces a strange atonal sound when rolled on. The tones always remain in harmony with the background music and its chord structure, though they are detached.

Flipswitch Panels appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' as they did in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' series, except this time a Flipswitch Panel can be changed between yellow and blue even if the player jumps off and back on it without completely leaving the switch. When all Flipswitch Panels in a series are activated, they turn into green "!" Flipswitch Panels.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5UKysyDZEI</ref> Making the last Flipswitch Panel yellow gives the player 2000 points. Players can also change the color by tapping on the Flipswitch Panel with the Wii U GamePad.
