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. | 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]]''.
