TheRed Switch Palace is aSwitch Palace found in theVanilla Dome inSuper Mario World andits reissue. It is the third Switch Palace thatMario orLuigi can encounter, and it is unlocked by finding the secret exit ofVanilla Dome 2; coding insideSuper Mario World indicated that the Red Switch Palace would actually have been encountered much later (in fact, nearing the end of the game at theValley of Bowser). This levelcannot be replayed after it has been completed.
Layout[edit]
The palace consists of two rooms, which the player has 200 seconds on thetimer to complete. The first room has eightKoopa Troopas, each separated by aBrown Block, with one Koopa next to aYellow Shell. There is aSwitch Block and a line ofcoins above the Koopas. The first Koopa enters the Yellow Shell and becomes aflashing shell. The player can press the Switch Block to turn the coins into blocks and vice versa, thenjump onto the blocks above andrun to the end of the room before the Switch Block's effect wears off. The flashing shell follows the player below and defeats the other eight Koopas, earning the player anextra life.Spin Jumping on the flashing shell after the first extra life is earned will earn the player a second extra life.
The second room is empty except for theRed Switch, which is activated by jumping on it. When the Red Switch is hit, all redDotted-Line Blocks becomeRed Blocks. These blocks help the player progress throughlevels by filling in certain gaps and allowing easy access to a few secret exits. Red Blocks can be found in fifteen levels:
