Mario's position when entering the palace

The '''Blue Switch Palace''' is the last of the four [[Switch Palace]]s in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. It is found in the [[Forest of Illusion]] behind the water level, [[Forest of Illusion 2]], the [[level]] it is unlocked in. Like all the other previous switch palaces, the Blue Switch Palace [[Unrevisitable locations|cannot be replayed]] after its completion.

The palace consists of two rooms, which the player has 200 seconds on the [[Time Limit|Timer]] to complete. The first room contains a blue [[P Switch|Switch Block]], a [[Gray P Switch]], and a line of [[Empty Block]]s with several [[Spiny|Spinies]] walking across the top. The trick is to collect a handful of [[coin]]s near the edge of the bottom row first before activating any of the switches. Once that is finished, the player can hit the Switch Block to make the top row become coins and the bottom to solid brick. The player should immediately hit the Gray P Switch, turning the Spinies into [[Gray Coin]]s. Then the player should quickly jump onto the solid bottom row and collect as many top-row coins as possible. If all the Gray Coins are collected, the player gets an [[extra life]]. Once the switches wear off, the player can freely collect the bottom row before continuing to the next room. The player is not forced to hit either switch to progress through the level, however.

The second room is empty except for the blue [[! Switch]], which can be activated by jumping on top of it.

==Gameplay Effects==

Once the blue ! switch is hit, all the blue [[Dotted-Line Block]]s will become blue [[! Block]]s. The blue ! Blocks help the player progress through the levels by filling in gaps and allowing some secret exits to be reached. Blue ! Blocks only appear in 13 levels after that.
