In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', ON/OFF Switches appear as a usable course element. Compared to their original appearance in ''Super Mario World'', they have a more saturated red and blue color scheme in all game styles, and the "ON" and "OFF" now flash. When hit, they can change the direction of Y-shaped [[Track]] intersections, toggle the visibility of red and blue [[Dotted-Line Block]]s, change the direction of red or blue Conveyor Belts, and change the radius of light around objects in the night Ghost House and night Underwater course styles.
