Flip Panel (platform)

Snake Panels are objects appearing in Super Mario 3D Land. When the green "!" button is pressed, they create several connected green panels with faces that help Mario cross large gaps or hazardous elements, similar to Snake Blocks. After a certain time, these panels will turn dark green, open their mouths, and start to disappear. When all panels disappear, the player can step on the "!" button to create the Snake Panels again.

Snake Panels appear in World 2-1, World 2-2, World 4-5, Special 2-5, Special 6-3 and Special 8-Crown.

Snake Panels reappear in the minigame Blown Hover from Mario Party: Island Tour. This time, however, they are renamed Flip Panels, and serve solely as an obstacle to be avoided.

Trivia

 * The Snake Panels in Special 8-Crown are the only Snake Panels that do not need to be activated by stepping on the main panel.
