'''Character Switches''' are a type of switch that first appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Each switch has a character logo on it for either [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Toad]], or [[Rosalina]]; depending on whose emblem is shown, only that character can press the switch. When the player presses the switch it generally makes either a [[Stamp]] or a [[Green Star (Super Mario 3D World)|Green Star]] appear.
