''Mighty Switch Force!'' is a 2011 PuzzlePlatformer from {{WayForward Technologies}}. In this third game in the loose ''Mighty'' series (with ''MightyFlipChamps'' and ''MightyMilkyWay''), you repeatedly chase down five escaped convicts (the Hooligan Sisters) across 16 levels. The key mechanic this time is that you have power over certain blocks in each level: They are either out (and you can stand on them) or in (and you can't).

[[AC:This game provides examples of:]]

* ActionGirl: Patricia Wagon.
* {{Animesque}}: Since this is a WayForwardTechnologies game, this is par for the course.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Quite literally. If you stand in front of a background block and switch it forward, Patty will literally smack into the fourth wall and shatter it.
** The same happens with any enemy you [[TeleFrag slam]].
* CheckPoint: The little black dogs, whose location you return to if you TeleFrag or touch spikes.
* DifficultySpike: While the rest of the game had been challenging, everything starting from Incident no. 14 is NintendoHard.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: [[spoiler: The game's final boss. It is not even hinted at he's an alienlike monster. Most mooks are at least partially mechanical, so this comes as somewhat of a surprise.]]
* {{Fanservice}}: This game uses it liberally, yet subtly.
** Upon defeat, Patricia's armor dissapears (not unlike SuperMetroid).
** The five convicts you must catch are scantily clad for convicts.
** Some of the end level scenes, like having Patricia in a swimsuit in a hot tub. The ending [[spoiler: has her in her normal revealing clothes]].
** Clearing all 16 incidents under the par time gives you an alternate title screen with Patrica out of her cop gear.
* FairCop: The main character Patricia Wagon has some legs on her.
* FakeLongevity: Going back and getting the par times for each level. There are only sixteen of them to begin with.
* InstitutionalApparel: All 5 convicts are decked in some form of stripes.
* NintendoHard: Starting around the fourteenth incident, the difficulty goes UpToEleven.
* SceneryPorn: The sprite work and animations stand out as some of Wayforward's best work.
* StealthPun: Patricia Wagon. Get it? [[DontExplainTheJoke Patty Wagon!]]
** Note to international readers: A "Patty Wagon" is a large police van or truck used for mass arrests.
* {{Telefrag}}: it's the only way to destroy some enemies and is integrated into the level design. It's also fairly easy to ''self''-telefrag if you aren't paying attention.
