In '' | In ''Super Mario World'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]], an ON/OFF Switch can be used by [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] either to change the path that a [[Lift|Pulley Lift]] is traveling on or, in [[4 Ludwig's Castle|#4 Ludwig's Castle]], to toggle the direction in which the falling ceiling is moving. The switches can be turned on or off by either [[jump]]ing against them from below, whirling [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]]'s cape next to them, or throwing an object, such as a [[Koopa Shell]], at them. Since the player can use the cape to activate a [[block]] by hitting it multiple times in succession, toggling an ON/OFF Switch that way does not guarantee that it will end up in the state intended by the player. | ||
Apart from #4 Ludwig's Castle, ON/OFF Switches are mostly found in the levels [[Donut Plains 3]] (where they first appear) and [[Way Cool]], where the switches are abundant. They are sometimes guarded by a [[Fuzzy]]. | Apart from #4 Ludwig's Castle, ON/OFF Switches are mostly found in the levels [[Donut Plains 3]] (where they first appear) and [[Way Cool]], where the switches are abundant.

Compared to their original appearance in ''Super Mario World'', they have a more saturated red and blue color scheme in all game styles, and the "ON" and "OFF" now flash. When hit, they can change the direction of Y-shaped [[track]] intersections, toggle the visibility of red and blue [[Dotted-Line Block]]s, change the direction of red or blue Conveyor Belts, and change the radius of light around objects in the night Ghost House and night Underwater course styles. | ||

ON/OFF Switches return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', where they retain their ability to activate Dotted-Line Blocks, switch the direction of tracks, and lower the radius of light around objects. They can also switch the direction that red and blue [[Zip Track]]s travel in, similarly to how they affected [[Conveyor Belt]]s in ''Super Mario Maker 2''. All of these attributes are displayed prominently in the level [[Color-Switch Dungeon]]. | |||
