Mario avoiding Koopas while holding a Switch Block

The '''Red Switch Palace''' is the third [[Switch Palace]] that [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] can encounter in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and its remakes. It is found in the [[Vanilla Dome]] and unlocked by finding the secret exit of [[Vanilla Dome 2]]; coding inside ''Super Mario World'' indicated that the Red Switch Palace would actually have been encountered much later (in fact, nearing the end of the game at the [[Valley of Bowser]]). This level [[Unrevisitable area|cannot be replayed]] after it has been completed.

The palace consists of two rooms, which the player has 200 seconds on the [[Time Limit|timer]] to complete. The first room has eight [[Koopa Troopa]]s, each separated by an [[Empty Block]], with one Koopa next to a [[Yellow Shell]]. There is a [[P Switch|Switch Block]] and a line of [[coin]]s above the Koopas. The first Koopa enters the Yellow Shell and becomes a [[shell (flashing)|flashing shell]]. The player can press the Switch Block to turn the coins into blocks and vice versa, then [[jump]] onto the blocks above and [[dash|run]] to the end of the room before the Switch Block's effect wears off. The flashing shell will follow the player below and defeat the other eight Koopas, earning the player an [[extra life]].

The second room is empty except for the red [[! Switch]], which is activated by jumping on it.

*[[Beach Koopa|Koopa without a Shell]]: 1 (yellow)

*[[Koopa Troopa]]: 8 (3 green, 3 red, 2 blue)

When the red ! Switch is hit, all red [[Dotted-Line Block]]s become red [[! Block]]s. These blocks help the player progress through [[level]]s by filling in certain gaps and allowing easy access to a few secret exits.
