Switch Blocks themselves do not appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' or ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. However, their ability to cause Blue Coins to appear is given to a similar object called the Blue Coin Block. Unlike how Switch Blocks had previously been depicted, Blue Coin Blocks cannot cause coins and [[block (Super Mario 64)|block]]s to become each other. However, certain [[! Switch#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Purple Switch]]es can cause blocks to appear from thin air in a similar manner. | Switch Blocks themselves do not appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' or ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.
