'''Color Switches''' are objects from ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]''. The object consists of a switch and a corresponding color-coded gate. They are first seen in the first level of [[Tropical Island]].
'''Color Switches''', originally known as simply '''Switches'''<ref>''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' instruction booklet, pg. 23</ref>, are objects found throughout the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]].


To activate the switch, the player will have to have a [[Mini Mario (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)|Mini Mario]] jump on top of the switch. This will open all the gates that have the same color as the switch, as well as close off all gates that are differently colored.
They can be red, yellow, or blue switches, and require [[Mario]] or [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]] to jump on top to activate. They typically have the effect of enabling corresponding color-coded platforms, ladders, blocks, or horizontal or vertical gates. This also disables the other colors, although Color Switches may have secondary functions on other obstacles on the screen, such as [[Phantom Guy]]s.


The color switches come in three colors: red, blue, and yellow. The color gates come horizontally or verticaly.
In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', they appeared like rounded buttons. In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'' they have flat tops, a design which has stuck in subsequent titles. They use different sound effects in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' and ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]''.


Color Switches reappear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'' with the same colors. However, the gates are replaced by one single color block. Jumping on one will activate the switch, and change the color blocks that match the switch that are on off and vice versa. They first appear in [[Jumpy Jungle]] in Level 2-2. They also have a new sound effect.

Color Switches in the game Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis.
Color Switches

Color Switches, originally known as simply Switches[1], are objects found throughout the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series.

They can be red, yellow, or blue switches, and require Mario or Mini Mario to jump on top to activate. They typically have the effect of enabling corresponding color-coded platforms, ladders, blocks, or horizontal or vertical gates. This also disables the other colors, although Color Switches may have secondary functions on other obstacles on the screen, such as Phantom Guys.

In Mario vs. Donkey Kong, they appeared like rounded buttons. In Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis they have flat tops, a design which has stuck in subsequent titles. They use different sound effects in Mario vs. Donkey Kong and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars.
