Switch gate

Since this subject has no official name, the name "Switch gate" is conjectural.

Switch gates are gates in Pikmin 4 that can be either raised (blocking a path) or lowered (allowing passage), and are toggled with switches. There are three types: white gates can be lowered with single-button switches and cannot be raised afterwards, and red gates and blue gates can be toggled between their raised and lowered states with 2-button switches, such that at all times, one of the two colors is raised and the other is lowered. They are made of brushed metal, and the color comes from a thin illuminated strip at the bottom of the gate that is only visible when the gate is raised.
