Color Switch

Color Switches are objects from Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. The object consists of a switch and a corresponding color-coded gate. They are first seen in the first level of Tropical Island.

To activate the switch, the player will have to have a Mini Mario jump on top of the switch. This will open all the gates that have the same color as the switch, as well as close off all gates that are differently colored.

The color switches come in three colors: red, blue, and yellow. The color gates come horizontally or verticaly.

Color Switches reappear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars with the same colors. However, the gates are replaced by one single color block. Jumping on one will activate the switch, and change the color blocks that match the switch that are on off and vice versa. They first appear in Jumpy Jungle in Level 2-2. They also have a new sound effect.
