Touch Switches, otherwise known as Coins, are small circles that activate when Madeline touches them, hence the name. Touch switches are first introduced in either Forsaken City B-Side or Old Site A-Side depending on the player's route, and appear in a majority of the levels afterwards. When Madeline activates all Touch switches in a given room, they will either move Touch Switch Gates in a room to their designated positions or unlock a Temple Gate (5A only). In most cases, activating all touch switches is required to progress or collect a strawberry.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
When unactivated, Touch Switches are cyan with a circular border and a slowly spinning disk, resembling a shield. When activated, they become white and the disk starts spinning faster. When all touch switches in a room are activated, they become magenta, the disk stops spinning, and pink flames appear.
Touch Switch Gates are entities with a hexagon at their center. Initially, it starts as cyan. It turns to white and slowly spins when the platform starts moving, and becomes magenta once it stops moving.
In Mirror Temple, Touch Switch Gates have a green border. They are otherwise unaffected visually.
