They appear identical to normal [[P Switch]]es except that they are gray with a pink rim as opposed to blue with an orange rim. When pressed, they turn all enemies that are onscreen into gray coins.

| '''Gray P Switches'''<ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=153 and 161}}</ref> (or '''Gray P-Switches''')<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 28|page=23|date=September 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> are objects in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]]. They appear identical to normal [[P Switch|Switch Block]]s except that they are gray with pink rims as opposed to blue with orange rims. When pressed, they turn some types of enemies into [[Gray Coin]]s. | |
| | |
| As revealed by hacking, Gray P Switches also possess the ability to transform [[Muncher]]s into ordinary [[coin]]s for the duration of their effect, similar to regular Switch Blocks in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. However, as Gray P Switches never appear in the same [[level]]s as Munchers in ''Super Mario World'', this functionality cannot be seen in-game.
| |
| | |
| Due to [[List of Super Mario World glitches#Switch Block color swap|a glitch]], Gray P Switches act like normal P Switches after being taken through a [[Warp Pipe|pipe]], though they retain their gray coloration.
| |
| | |
| Coincidentally, Switch Blocks in [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] releases of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' appear in a gray palette in the [[fortress]] levels. Gray P Switches themselves went [[List of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 pre-release and unused content|unused]] in the [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Game Boy Advance version]], however, and would have functioned like how they originally did.<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3/Unused Objects#Silver P-Switch|Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3/Unused Objects#Silver P-Switch]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=July 31, 2021}}</ref>
