''[[Super Mario 64]]'' features two types of ! Switches. '''Purple Switches'''<ref> | ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' features two types of ! Switches.

In ''Super Mario 64'', their hue is plum, while in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', they are dark brownish-red. They are found in a majority of the game's courses. Though their exact effect varies from course to course, the most common effects are making a set of breakable platforms appear and making unnavigable terrain passable, such as turning a steep slope into a staircase. With very few exceptions, the effect of a Purple Switch is temporary. A ticking sound indicates that the switch is still in effect, and it gets more rapid as the effect is about to expire. The remake introduces a yellow star-shaped variant called a [[Star Switch]]. | ||
[[Cap Switch]]es have a dome shape like the ! Switches from ''Super Mario World''. The red one appears on the [[Tower of the Wing Cap]], the green one appears in the [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap]], and the blue one appears in [[The Secret Under the Moat|Vanish Cap Under the Moat]]. Like in ''Super Mario World'', these cause [[Cap Block]]s of the same color to solidify, allowing players to use the [[cap]] power-ups in courses. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the Cap Switches were changed from three colored ! Switches to one red [[? Switch]]. | [[Cap Switch]]es have a dome shape like the ! Switches from ''Super Mario World''.

Jumping on them causes the [[Dotted-Line Block]]s to transform into red [[! Block]]s. These allow the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] to cross obstacles such as [[pit]]s and spikes, or reach otherwise inaccessible areas. Pressing these switches also occasionally causes a warp to a bonus area to appear, indicated by a red arrow above it. ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' instead features the [[? Switch]], which has a similar role to the latter function. | ||

Mario has to find the eight Red Coins around the level within the time limit. Hitting the switch is worth 3,000 points. Mario can use the switch as many times as needed; once Mario gets all the Red Coins in time, he obtains a [[Power Star|Star]], and the deactivated switch is changed into a red [[!
