The Body Part Swapping Machine, also known as the Switcherator in the U.S. English dub, is one of Doraemon's gadgets.
Functions[]
This gadget is a machine that replaces body parts. Two users can exchange body parts by entering the capsules, one on the left and the other on the right, and choosing the body part they wish to swap on the remote.
The gadget can swap all body parts, but pressing the head button will swap their bodies, except for their heads (and brains).
