A '''Flipswitch Panel'''<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy'' English instruction booklet, page 18</ref><ref>''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' instruction booklet, page 20~~</ref>, also known as a '''Switch Panel''',<ref>Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett. 2013. ''Super Mario 3D World'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide, page 20.~~</ref> is a type of switch that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They start off as blue panels with a question mark on them. The panel turns yellow with an exclamation mark when it is stepped on, but back to a blue question mark if it is stepped on again (the only exception is the Flipswitch Panels in the [[Gateway Galaxy]], which all have circles on them rather than a "?" or "!"). However, a Flipswitch Panel 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 Panel or a regular platform in order to change the color of the Flipswitch Panel. When all of the Flipswitch Panels 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 Flipswitch Panels. Sometimes Mario or Luigi will be chased by [[Cosmic Clones]] on Flipswitch Panel planets.

When Flipswitch Panels are stepped on, a tone is heard. The only exception is the panels in the [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', where no distinct tone can be heard and instead produces a strange atonal sound when rolled on. The tones always remain in harmony with the background music and its chord structure, though they are detached.

Flipswitch Panels appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' where they are known as '''Switch Panels'''. They act as they did in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' series, except this time a Switch Panel can be changed between yellow and blue even if the player jumps off and back on it without completely leaving the switch. When all Switch Panels in a series are activated, they turn into green "!" Switch Panels.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5UKysyDZEI</ref> Making the last Switch Panel yellow gives the player 2000 points. Players can also change the color by tapping on the Switch Panel with the Wii U GamePad.
