Artwork of Donkey Kong Jr. pushing a switch

Switches[1] appear in theGame Boy version ofDonkey Kong as levers that controlconveyor belts,moving platforms, andelevators. Switches are able to make bridges appear and disappear, as well as open and close gates. The player can use a switch by holdingB Button whileMario is nearby and moving the+Control Pad Control Pad either left or right to push and pull it. In some boss stages,Donkey Kong Jr. also operates switches to hinder Mario's progress.

Similar switches appear in the Modern version of theGame & Watch gameDonkey Kong inGame & Watch Gallery 2 andGame & Watch Gallery 4. Activating one of those switches causes a platform to appear and opens a door above it. Similar switches also appear in the Modern version of the Game & Watch gameMario Bros. inGame & Watch Gallery 3 andGame & Watch Gallery 4. When the conveyor belts reverse directions, activating one of those switches makes the directions return to normal.

Similar objects, known asDirection Switches andconveyor switches, appear in games of theMario vs. Donkey Kong series.
