Flip Panels are a type of platform which first appears in Super Mario 3D Land.
Description[]
When the green "!" switch of a Flip Panel is pressed, several connected green panels, each depicting a face, are created. Mario or another character can then move across these panels to travel across pits or other hazards, similar to Snake Blocks. Some seconds later, the panels turn dark green, open their mouth, and start to disappear one at a time. When every panel has disappeared, Mario or another character can step on the "!" switch to create the Flip Panels again.
In Super Mario 3D Land[]

Flip Panels appear in World 2-1, World 2-2, World 4-5, Special 2-5, Special 6-3, and lastly Special 8-, where they are not used as platforms but rather to spell out a message to the player, reading, "THANK YOU!!"
In Mario Party: Island Tour[]
Flip Panels appear in the minigame Blown Hover as an obstacle that players have to avoid.
In Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker[]
Flip Panels retain their functionality from Super Mario 3D Land, although the green "!" button that produces the panels now turns orange upon being pressed. Flip Panels appear in Flip Panel Footpath, Secret of the Golden Realm, Mummy-Me on Flip Panel Footpath, and Flip Panel Panic.
Crossover appearances[]
Super Smash Bros. series[]
Flip Panels appear in the stage 3D Land in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. They are featured as platforms in the first scrolling section of the stage.
