? Switch

The '''? Switch' appears exclusively in Super Mario 64 DS''. It appears in the secret level which is also titled ''? Switch'', which was formerly titled Tower of the Wing Cap. It serves mainly as a one-shot replacement to the three ! Switches. Upon pressing the ? Switch, all ? Blocks in the game will become solid (and therefore, usable). Whereas the three ! Switches only filled in ! Blocks of their respective color, the ? Switch filled in all ? Blocks.

The ? Switch also appeared in Yoshi's Story. When a Yoshi presses he ? Switch by simply Jumping on it, the ? Switch disappears and the part of the level in the game is changed. The ? Switch acts like a P-Switch but the main difference is that it the part of the level changes. The countdown of the changed area of the level will begin as the music plays. If the music goes rapidly, the Yoshi hasn't have much time with the changed area of the level as it will turn back to normal in a short moment. There are ? Switch Panels that prevent the changed area of the level.
