Hinged panels,[1] also called one-way panels,[2]:30
History[edit]
New Super Mario Bros.[edit]
One-way panels mark their first appearance in New Super Mario Bros., where they have angular tips and appear to be of a wooden-yellow color. They appear in World 2-3 only, in which they are prominent obstacles blocking various narrow corridors.
New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]
In New Super Mario Bros. 2, hinged panels appear with a slight redesign. Here, they have a brighter yellow color, a visible metallic hinge at their pivot with a round bolt, and a slightly different tip that is straightened at the side that remains closed. They are found in a few courses, those being World 1-A, World 2-3, World 
Mushroom-
Castle, and World 6-
Ghost House, as well as the First Course of the downloadable Coin Challenge Pack B. Much like in World 2-3 from the first New Super Mario Bros., these panels are prominently featured in World 1-A, where they are placed in several corridors made from Warp Pipes, sometimes even multiple times. In World 2-3, World Mushroom-Castle, and World 6-Ghost House, however, hinged panels are used to block off only a few corridors that would otherwise easily lead to Star Coins. In Coin Challenge B's First Course, several hinged panels lead towards the Star Coin instead, though it requires a ? Switch to access it.
Unused appearances[edit]
One-way panels exist in the assets of New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Their design had been directly ported over from New Super Mario Bros.,[4] having not received an updated design or model before the objects would up being scrapped.
