Flipswitch Panel

A Flipswitch (also known as Flipswitch Panel ) is a type of switch that appears in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They start off as blue panels with a ? on them. The panel will turn yellow and have an ! when it is stepped on, but then will turn back to a blue ? if it is stepped on again. However, a Flipswitch will not change if Mario or Luigi jumps and lands on it again before walking off it; Mario or Luigi must step onto another Flipswitch or a regular platform in order to change the color of the Flipswitch. When all of the Flipswitches are stepped on in a specific area, they turn green and display a square on them. After this has happened, they will no longer change. After this, an event will occur within the immediate area. A galaxy called the Flipswitch Galaxy has a planet made completely out of Flipswitches. The tones that are made by stepping on the Flipswitches always remain in harmony with the background music and its chord structure.
