'''Switch | A '''Switch Palace'''<ref>''Super Mario World'' English instruction booklet, page 21.</ref> is a small [[level]] that features a [[! Switch]] (or [[? Switch]], in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''). When hit, the switch turns [[Dotted-Line Block]]s of the same color into solid [[! Block]]s (or [[? Block]]s) throughout the game's other levels. In addition to becoming [[platform]]s, the ! Blocks may contain certain [[List of power-ups|power-ups]] or be empty, depending on the color and game. | ||

Each one contains a bonus room where at least one [[extra life]] can be earned and a hall with the big switch. Hitting it clears the level, and the Switch Palace [[Unrevisitable area|cannot be played again]], indicated by its [[world]] map icon also becoming pressed. Switch Palaces are usually unlocked from the secret exit of an adjacent level; the exception is the [[Yellow Switch Palace]], whose [[Yoshi's Island 1|previous level]] has only one exit. | ||
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', the three locations containing the [[Cap Switch | In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', the three locations containing the [[Cap Switch]]es are called Switch Palaces in the German localization and the English [[Prima Games]] coverage.<ref>Bath, Prima. ''Ultimate Nintendo 64 Pocket Power Guide, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 59.</ref> The [[Tower of the Wing Cap]], [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap]], and [[The Secret Under the Moat|Vanish Cap Under the Moat]] are respectively called the Red, Green, and Blue Switch Palace. Whereas yellow and green ! Blocks in ''Super Mario World'' contain extra power-ups that appear elsewhere, each color of ! Block in ''Super Mario 64'' is the sole means of accessing a corresponding [[cap]] power-up. Accordingly, the Cap Switch courses are themed around their respective power-ups. [[Mario]] starts the course with the power of its cap and can get a [[Power Star]] by collecting [[Red Coin]]s with the use of the power-up. | ||
'' | ''Super Mario 64 DS'' removes all but one of the switches: The caps' abilities are allocated to the four playable characters through the [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] and [[Wing Cap|Wings]], both of which the ? Switch unlocks. The two courses whose Cap Switches were removed are renamed, and an extra Power Star is added to them. | ||
