'''Gray P Switches'''<ref>Nintendo ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide. Pages 153 & 161.</ref> (or '''Gray P-Switches'''<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 28, page 23.</ref>) are objects in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They appear identical to normal [[P Switch|Switch Block]]s 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 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 P Switches in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. However, as Gray P Switches never appear in the same levels as Munchers in ''Super Mario World'', this functionality can not 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.
