I noticed that when I go back to the switch palaces, I can't play them. Is there something I can do to change that?

I didn't know these existed until recently.

Once you activate a switch, you can't go back. But why would you want to anyway?

I never activated the switches. I actually never knew about the switch palaces until recently. When I go back, I can't play them.

Hmm... Let's take a look at a map:



Do the yellow and green switches look like this on your game? If so, then you should be able to enter them. If they appear crushed, then that means you've already activated it and cannot enter it ever again.

No, they appear crushed. However, I never played them. If you skip them and move on, do they activate themselves?

There's obviously a glitch in your game then. And no, they don't activate on their own - you have to stomp on the switch and all blocks of that color will become solid. The only thing I could think of is that somebody played your file and activated the switches themselves. Try starting a new game and see if that works.

Sure, I'll give that a try. It's the Nintendo Wii downloaded version...I don't know if that makes a difference.
