An ON/OFF Switch (alternatively with 'switch' not capitalized[1]), also known as an ON Block,[2]ON/OFF Block,[3] or simply Switch,[4] is a stationary object that first appears in Super Mario World and its remakes. History[edit]Super Mario World / Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2[edit]In Super Mario World, it can be used by Mario or Luigi either to change the path that a Pulley Lift is traveling on or, in #4 Ludwig's Castle, to toggle the direction in which the falling ceiling is moving. The switches can be turned on or off either by jumping against them from below, whirling Caped Mario's cape next to them or throwing an object, like a Koopa Shell, at them. Since using the cape to activate a block can hit it multiple times in succession, toggling an ON/OFF Switch that way does not guarantee that it will end up in the state intended by the player. Apart from #4 Ludwig's Castle, they are mostly found in the levels Donut Plains 3 (where they first appear) and Way Cool, where the switches are abundant. They are sometimes guarded by a Fuzzy. New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]In New Super Mario Bros. 2, two ON/OFF Switches appear in World Flower-, where they switch the direction of certain Conveyor Belts. In this game, they bear a closer appearance to other switches in the game, and can only be hit from below. The first one appears close to the end of the level where it controls two Conveyor Belts leading to the third Star Coin, and the second one appears during the boss fight with Lemmy to control the Conveyor Belt used during the fight. Super Mario Maker 2[edit]In Super Mario Maker 2, they appear as a placeable course element. When hit by the player, they can transform red and blue Dotted-Line Blocks into outlines or vice versa. In this game, they have more saturated red and blue palettes rather than having magenta and slate palettes. They can also transform other objects such as tracks, Conveyor Belts, Spike Blocks, Track Blocks, and ON/OFF Trampolines. In the night Ghost House and Underwater themes, they make the radius of light around the player smaller when hit. Profiles[edit]Super Mario Maker 2[edit]- North American website bio: 'Step on an ON/OFF Switch and the red and blue blocks will swap! Use them to set up a trap or a tricky puzzle.'
- Play Nintendo: 'Two-item combos—When a player hits an ON/OFF Switch, the red and blue blocks will swap. You can use these sneaky switches to set up traps. You can even combine two items in a cool way. For example, you can create two conveyor belts, then connect an ON/OFF Switch to make a puzzling challenge for the player. When the switch is hit, the conveyor belt changes direction. Talk about a trick combo!'[5]

Trouble in Translation This past week saw the release of Super Mario 3D World on the Nintendo Switch. Yet another one of the Wii U's excellent, underrated classics was getting its time to shine on a new, more popular platform. Better yet, it includes an experimental take on Super Mario level design with Bowser's Fury. The Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury game features the same lively co-op gameplay, creative levels and power-ups as the original game, but with added improvements. In the Super Mario 3D World part of the game, characters move faster and the dash powers up more quickly.
UPDATE - Sep 15, 2019 - Super NES games (including Super Mario World) are now available for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers after the September 2019 Nintendo Direct!
Simply install the SNES games through the Nintendo eShop and you can start playing! There is even a rewind feature and save states to make your journey to 96 exits a little easier.
ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Since Nintendo Switch Online became a paid add-on, it has featured a rotating set of NES classics for subscribers to play. As of now, we haven't seen any Super NES games come out, there has been speculation, rumours and grumbling from time to time, but as of now we still have not seen SNES games on the Nintendo Switch.
If Super NES games were to come to the Switch, it would be another throwback to a great retro era - remember the SNES Classic that came out in 2017? It was tough to find in stores for nearly a year before it got discontinued.
Let's take a look at Super Mario World, the launch game for the SNES, and to this day, still one of the most iconic Super Mario games ever produced. (Check out SM128C's retro review of Super Mario World)
There's no technical reason we can't see SNES games be emulated on the Switch, but if SNES games ever come, it's a virtual certainty that we will see Super Mario World be part of the package.
Could we possibly see an enhanced multiplayer mode beyond the primitive turn-taking between Mario and Luigi through Dinosaur Land? It will be a definite joy to be able to play Super Mario World online with your friends!
It's probably unlikely that Nintendo will crack open the source code and make an upgraded multiplayer mode for Super Mario World, but there can be some possibilities.
A co-op adventure mode with both Mario and Luigi on screen at the same time (in the New Super Mario Bros style) would be a pleasure, but this would probably require a complicated rebuild of the game. It would be challenging to re-work the original stages to support this kind of adventure. Also, would the SNES emulation be able to handle this kind of action?
Maybe it's more realistic to have a simpler multiplayer enhancement. How about a Coin Battle challenge with a 1P Mario and 2P Luigi? We've seen this in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U where the players dash through a level trying to get the most coins to win.
The beauty of such an enhancement is that they can build additional SMW-style courses (like we have seen in Super Mario Maker) specifically for a coin battle mode. These stages would be a separate addition, and it wouldn't affect the integrity of the original game - which itself was a masterpiece.
Another idea, how about a scavenger hunt through some stages? First one to find the item wins the challenge. Given that SMW is the first game Yoshi appeared in, how about a Yoshi egg hunt? It would be very fitting!
Super Mario World is one of the games that Nintendo has released over and over again, it would definitely be no surprise to see it come to the Nintendo Switch through the Nintendo Switch Online service. Unfortunately as of now, we don't know if or when Super Mario World will be released for the Nintendo Switch, so for now we'll just have to stick with the SNES Classic or the Virtual Console on the Wii and Wii U consoles - if you have one.
