Talk:Red-Blue Panel

I feel obligated to point out that the flipping platforms from Super Mario Sunshine definitely aren't the same as the Red and Blue Platforms that appear in the Flip Swap Galaxy (and a few other galaxies). For one thing, the Super Mario Sunshine platforms rotate at their centers, i.e. - not like hinges on doors like these ones, and if I recall correctly, these platforms are actually orange and blue, not Red and Blue, plus, they have wood on their centers, and therefore appear not to be made of metal, and they rotate independently of the player's control, and they are like 2x thicker than in SMG2, and they move around randomly and bounce into each other while flipping instead of remaining stationary, and they don't all flip at the same time, they alternate flipping (also, the two colors are not physically connected, though I think that was mentioned in the article already)...the point is, they're really different...

 * You're right, I'd make a TPP for splitting them into, say, Red-Blue Flipping Platform (Super Mario Sunshine) and Red-Blue Flipping Platform (Super Mario Galaxy 2)


 * Well, currently, I'm fixing the article, so give me some time for that...I going to get rid of the Super Mario Sunshine information in the article, leave the remainder of the information (because there's really nothing wrong with it), and add a Trivia reference talking about the SMS platforms, so I'll see how it looks after that...

It is written that the title come from an english source. If it was from the french source (it was written "reversible platform") it must be changed. The "dalle réversibles" are the blue one who become yellow then green when you walk on them. "dalle réversible" mean more or less "reversible platform" The real french name are "Dalles clic-clac" (it is the french name of the Flip-Swap Galaxy) and I think that the true name of these platforms are "Flip-Swap Platforms". I don't know why it has been changed.


 * Maybe the French namers were too lazy?
 * Actually the official English name of the platforms according to the SM3DL guide are Red-Blue Panels, and you can also put "also known as Red-Blue Platforms or just flipping platforms", probably.
