The '''? Switch''' first appears in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. When a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] presses the ? Switch by simply [[jump]]ing on it, the ? Switch disappears and a part of the level is changed briefly. As the effect expires, the switch's music will speed up. There are [[? Switch Panel]]s that also act as a ?

A ? Switch also appears in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. It appears in the secret level, which is also titled "? Switch" (formerly titled [[Tower of the Wing Cap]]). It serves mainly as a one-shot replacement to [[Super Mario 64|the original game's]] three [[! Switch]]es. Upon pressing the ? Switch, all [[? Block]]s in the game will become solid and can be broken open. Whereas the three ! Switches only filled in [[! Block]]s of their respective color, the ? Switch fill in all ? Blocks, as they are all the same color, red, and the [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|ability]] that the player will get now depends on the character they are playing as.

[[File:Story Q Switch.png|frame]]
In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', when a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] presses a ? Switch by simply [[jump]]ing on it, the ? Switch disappears and a part of the [[level]] is changed briefly. As the effect expires, the switch's music speeds up. There are [[Delay Switch|panel]]s that also act as a ? Switch and extend the switch's time limit.


? Switches later appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', this time with an orange color. Like the ones in ''Yoshi's Story'', these switches change or add to an area of a level, like adding moving platforms or flipping the entire level upside down. The effects of these switches can be temporary or permanent, varying from switch to switch. They also appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' with the same effects.

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the red, green, and blue [[! Switch]]es from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' were reduced to a red ? Switch. It appears in a secret course named after it (also titled [[Tower of the Wing Cap]]), and it activates corresponding [[? Block#Super Mario 64 DS|? Block]]s.


In versions of ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' before version 1.30, P Switches in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' theme have the appearance of ? Switches.

? Switches later appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', this time with an orange color. Like the ones in ''Yoshi's Story'', these switches change or add to an area of a level, like adding moving platforms or flipping the entire level upside down. The effects of a ? Switch can be either temporary or permanent, depending on the ? Switch. One appears in the fight against [[Mega Goomba (boss)|Mega Goomba]], being the only time one is used against a boss. Most levels have only one ? Switch, but some have two of them.
