The ON/OFF Switch is a recurring gimmick in the Super Mario Bros. series, making its first appearance in Super Mario World. It is a block that can be turned on or off by jumping into it, affecting other objects in many ways.
In Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero, the ON/OFF Switch appears in the level Kingdom Crisis.
Behavior
An ON/OFF Switch is toggled between ON and OFF by jumping into it from below; it is completely immune to all weapons. When toggled, it will affect all Switch Blocks in the current section. In the ON state, red Switch Blocks are solid while blue ones are transparent, and the inverse is true when an ON/OFF Switch is OFF. Shellmettaur shells are also capable of toggling ON/OFF Switches, and do so by hitting them from the side.
