+==History==
+===''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''===
+In ''Super Mario World'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]], an ON/OFF Switch can be used by [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] either to change the path that a [[Lift|Pulley Lift]] is traveling on or, in [[4 Ludwig's Castle|#4 Ludwig's Castle]], to toggle the direction in which the falling ceiling is moving. The switches can be turned on or off by either [[jump]]ing against them from below, whirling [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]]'s cape next to them, or throwing an object, such as a [[Koopa Shell]], at them. Since the player can use the cape to activate a [[block]] by hitting it multiple times in succession, toggling an ON/OFF Switch that way does not guarantee that it will end up in the state intended by the player.

+Apart from #4 Ludwig's Castle, ON/OFF Switches are mostly found in the levels [[Donut Plains 3]] (where they first appear) and [[Way Cool]], where the switches are abundant. They are sometimes guarded by a [[Fuzzy]].

-In ''Super Mario World'', it can be used by [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] either to change the path that a line-guided platform is traveling on or, in [[4 Ludwig's Castle|#4 Ludwig's Castle]], to toggle the direction in which the falling ceiling is moving. The switches can be turned on or off either by jumping against them from below, whirling [[Cape Mario]]'s cape next to them or throwing an object, like a [[Koopa Shell]], at them. Since using the cape to activate a block can hit it multiple times in succession, toggling an ON/OFF Switch that way does not guarantee that it will end up in the state intended by the player.
+In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', ON/OFF Switches appear as a usable course element. Compared to their original appearance in ''Super Mario World'', they have a more saturated red and blue color scheme in all game styles, and the "ON" and "OFF" now flash. When hit, they can change the direction of Y-shaped [[track]] intersections, toggle the visibility of red and blue [[Dotted-Line Block]]s, change the direction of red or blue Conveyor Belts, and change the radius of light around objects in the night Ghost House and night Underwater course styles.

+===''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''===
+ON/OFF Switches return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', where they retain their ability to activate Dotted-Line Blocks, switch the direction of tracks, and lower the radius of light around objects. They can also switch the direction that red and blue [[Zip Track]]s travel in, similarly to how they affected [[Conveyor Belt]]s in ''Super Mario Maker 2''. All of these attributes are displayed prominently in the level [[Color-Switch Dungeon]].

-In ''Super Mario Maker 2'', they appear as a placeable course element. When hit by Mario, they can transform red/blue blocks into outlines or vice versa. In this game, they have more saturated red and blue palettes rather than having magenta and slate palettes. They can also transform other objects such as [[Track (object)|tracks]], [[Conveyor|Conveyor Belts]] and [[Spike Block]]s.
