Color Panels[1] are objects in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury . They light up in different colors when activated, which can be done by touching them, which includes tapping the Color Panels from the touchscreen. Ground Pounds also light several Color Panels around the user at once. When every Color Panel in an area is lit, a Green Star appears. Color Panels are found in five levels in the game: Really Rolling Hills, Sunshine Seaside, Bob-ombs Below, Rainbow Run, and Night Falls on Really Rolling Hills.
In Bob-ombs Below, the Color Panels, when lit, reveal an 8-bit sprite of Mario from Super Mario Bros. If Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, or Rosalina gets the Mega Mushroom hidden in the bonus area, they can speed up the process; Ground Pounds done while in Mega form have a larger range of effect. In this level and both versions of Really Rolling Hills, when all the Color Panels are lit, am arrangement of "Ground BGM" from Super Mario Bros. can be heard in the background.
In Rainbow Run, the Color Panels form an 8-bit sprite of Link from The Legend of Zelda . Upon the player lighting up all the Color Panels, the "Item Get" jingle from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time can be heard. An arrangement of "Overworld Theme" also plays in the background afterwards.
Color Panels are objects in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker . They are encountered in Razzle-Dazzle Slider, where Toadette has to slide down the pinball machine structure without falling into holes to light five Color Panels and lower the gate to the Power Star. The Color Panels can still be lit with the touchscreen, which is the only way to achieve the level's challenge time.
