'''P Switches''' (alternatively hyphenated as '''P-Switches'''<ref>''Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World'' instruction booklet, page 19.</ref> or '''P-switches'''<ref>M. Arakawa. Nintendo ''Mario Mania'' Nintendo Player's Guide. Page 48.</ref>), originally called '''Switch Blocks'''<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' English instruction booklet. Page 17.</ref><ref>''Super Mario World'' English instruction booklet. Page 22.</ref> and also known as '''P Switch Blocks'''<ref>[https://cdn02.nintendo-europe.com/media/downloads/games_8/emanuals/nintendo_ds_21/Manual_NintendoDS_NewSuperMarioBros_EN.pdf ''New Super Mario Bros.'' British English instruction booklet]. Page 18.</ref> or '''Trample Switches''',<ref>''Super Mario 3D World'' eGuide (Prima Games)</ref> are objects found in several [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'']] games such as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', and ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They are activated by [[jump]]ing on them. Upon activation, they turn all [[Brick Block]]s from an area into [[coin]]s and vice-versa for approximately 10 seconds. On some occasions, they likewise cause arrays or groups of [[Blue Coin]]s to appear onscreen. As these effects are temporary, they are usually accompanied by a characteristic jingle or clock-ticking that marks their duration. Some P Switches cause a [[P Warp Door]] to appear.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:SMB3 BluePow.png|thumb|left|A Switch Block in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the first Switch Block appears in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-1]]. Switch Blocks cause the animations of [[? Block]]s, [[Brick Block]]s, [[Note Block|Jump Block]]s and coins to stop, and also make [[Conveyor Belt]]s stop moving. They also transform [[Muncher]]s into coins while active. In the original NES version, certain Switch Blocks appear in alternate colorations due to palette limitations; for instance, one in [[World 2-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 2-3]] is purple with tan details. In all versions, Switch Blocks cause the [[Toad House]] theme to play while they are active.

In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Brick Blocks and coins remain animated while a Switch Block is active, and item-holding Brick Blocks don't look like coins. Switch Blocks also vanish after a second once pressed.

====''Super Mario World''====
''[[Super Mario World]]'' is the first game in which Switch Blocks (also referred to as '''Blue P-Switches''')<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 28, page 23.</ref> can be carried by [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) and saved for later. Some P Switches can make [[Hidden Block|hidden]] [[? Block]]s or [[P Warp Door]]s appear. There is a [[glitch]] making Mario carry a Switch Block after it has been pressed for a short time if he is quick before it disappears. In all other games until the ''Super Mario Maker'' series, Mario cannot carry the switches and must use them on the spot. Coins will turn into [[Empty Block]]s instead of Brick Blocks.

The game introduces [[Gray P Switch]]es, which make most enemies turn into [[Gray Coin]]s. Collecting eight of these coins awards Mario an [[extra life]]. Collecting one more gives Mario two extra lives. After nine coins, Mario will earn three extra lives for each additional coin.

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
{{main|Blue Coin Block}}
Switch Blocks themselves do not appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' or ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. However, their ability to cause Blue Coins to appear is given to a similar object called the Blue Coin Block. Unlike how Switch Blocks had previously been depicted, Blue Coin Blocks cannot cause coins and [[block (Super Mario 64)|block]]s to become each other. However, certain [[! Switch#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Purple Switch]]es can cause blocks to appear from thin air in a similar manner.

====''New Super Mario Bros.'' sub-series====
[[File:PSwitchNSMB.png|frame]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', "Switch Block" is now an umbrella term for P Switch blocks, [[! Switch|! Switch block]]s, and [[? Switch|? Switch block]]s.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/DS_New_Super_Mario_Bros.pdf ''New Super Mario Bros.'' American English instruction booklet]. Page 17.</ref> In the Japanese version, they are all simply considered Switch Blocks without specific names between them, with their descriptions simply using their sprite.<ref>[https://m1.nintendo.net/docvc/NTR/JPN/A2DJ/A2DJ_J.pdf ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Japanese instruction booklet]. Page 17.</ref> P Switches have the same function as in previous games, either spawning in blue coins or turning Brick Blocks into coins and vice versa, as well as P Switches having more level-specific functions such as revealing staircases and certain [[Warp Door|door]]s in [[World 3-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-Ghost House]]. Unlike in previous games, certain P Switches can be reused multiple times.

P Switches appear in the sequels ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', retaining their functionality from ''New Super Mario Bros.''

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
P Switches appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', where they are designed as having a flat surface with a light blue "P" printed on it, making them more like buttons. When pressed, they become red. Unlike in previous games, P Switches work more like the [[? Coin]]s of the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy|Super Mario]]'' [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|''Galaxy'' games]], in that they either trigger an event or generate a row of [[note]]s upon activation.

P Switches are in the following locations and have the following functions:

*[[World 2-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 2-1]] &ndash; Spawning a group of [[note]]s that play the ''Super Mario World'' bonus area theme
*[[World 2-3 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 2-3]] &ndash; Causing a group of [[coin]]s to appear; spawning a group of notes that play the opening of the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' athletic theme; spawning a trail of coins
*[[World 3-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 3-1]] &ndash; Spawning a group of notes that play the ''Super Mario World'' bonus area theme
*[[World 3-2 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 3-2]] &ndash; Spawning a trail of coins; causing some [[coin ring]]s to appear
*[[World 4-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 4-4]] &ndash; Causing a group of coins to appear
*[[World 5-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 5-1]] &ndash; Spawning a group of notes that play the ''Super Mario World'' bonus area theme
*[[World 5-5 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 5-5]] &ndash; Causing some coin rings to appear; spawning a group of notes that play the ''Super Mario World'' bonus area theme
*[[World 6-3 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 6-3]] &ndash; Causing a group of coins and the first [[Star Medal]] to appear
*Possible {{world|6|mysterybox}} &ndash; Causing a [[1-Up Mushroom]] to appear
*[[World 7-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 7-1]] &ndash; Causing a certain wall to retract
*{{world-link|8|bowser3d|World 8-Bowser: Part 1}}[[World 8-Bowser: Part 1|: Part 1]]: Causing a certain metal grated platform to rise up from the [[lava]]; causing a certain platform to rise
*[[Special 1-3]] &ndash; pawning a group of notes that play the ''Super Mario Bros.'' underwater theme; spawning a trail of coins
*[[Special 4-2]] &ndash; Causing a group of coins to appear
*{{world-link|s8|bowser3d|Special 8-Bowser}} &ndash; Causing a certain metal grated platform to rise up from the lava; causing a certain platform to rise

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
[[File:PSwitchSM3DW.jpg|thumb|A P Switch in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'']]
P Switches appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. They have the same appearance as they do in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', but with a white "P"; they do not change colors when pressed. In addition to their effects from ''3D Land'', they can once again spawn Blue Coins (except in [[Rainbow Run (level)|Rainbow Run]], where they spawn regular coins from the sky). There are also [[P Panel|orange square panel versions of P Switches]] that require multiple characters or objects to activate simultaneously. Golden P Switches appear in some of the bonus areas entered via golden [[Warp Pipe]]s and in the [[Coin Express]]. When pressed, they spawn a large amount of coins. Similar switches appear in the form of [[Character Switch]]es, which can only be pushed by certain characters.

In the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign, P Switches appear at the starts of certain islands when their respective Blue Coin Bustle missions are available. They also reset if those missions are not completed in time, letting the player retry them.

In ''Super Mario 3D World'', P Switches are in the following locations and have the following functions:

*[[Mount Beanpole]] &ndash; Causing certain [[Blue Coin]]s to appear
*[[Conkdor Canyon]]* &ndash; Causing an area directly above a pit to shower [[coin]]s
*[[Shadow-Play Alley]] &ndash; Causing the second [[Green Star]] to appear
*[[Captain Toad Makes a Splash]] &ndash; Raising the water level
*[[Beep Block Skyway]] &ndash; Causing certain Blue Coins to appear
*[[Tricky Trapeze Theater]] &ndash; Causing certain Blue Coins to appear
*[[Cakewalk Flip]] &ndash; Causing a Green Star ball to fall onto a puzzle course in the distance
*[[Coin Express]]* &ndash; Causing the [[Warp Pipe]] at the front of the train to burst a group of coins
*[[Hands-On Hall]] &ndash; Causing a wall to rotate ninety degrees; causing a staircase to fall
*[[Mystery House Throwdown]] &ndash; Causing the third Green Star to appear
*[[Fort Fire Bros.]] &ndash; Causing a Green Star ball to fall onto a puzzle course in the distance
*[[Bowser's Lava Lake Keep]] &ndash; Causing a grated platform to lower
*[[Spiky Spike Bridge]] &ndash; Causes the second Green Star to appear

*[[Gargantuan Grotto]] &ndash; Causing certain Blue Coins to appear
*[[Captain Toad Takes a Spin]] &ndash; Rotating the entire level
*[[Spiky Mount Beanpole]] &ndash; Causing certain Blue Coins to appear
*[[Mystery House Marathon]] &ndash; Causing the twelfth Green Star to appear; causing the eighteenth Green Star to appear

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
P Switches reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', retaining their functions of changing Brick Blocks to coins and vice versa. The same now also applies to [[Rotating Block]]s. P Switches can also stop Conveyor Belts from moving, as they did in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They can also be carried like in ''Super Mario World'', which applies to the other styles except ''Super Mario Bros.'', where Mario could not carry objects. An update on December 21, 2015 introduced P Warp Doors. These blue doors act as a normal Warp Door, but are only usable when a P Switch is activated. When a P Switch is shaken in edit mode, it transforms into a [[key]]. Their use is required in a part of [[World 5-3 (Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS)|World 5-3]] of [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS#Super Mario Challenge|Super Mario Challenge]] in the 3DS version.

They can be used in all four styles, retaining their designs in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', ''Super Mario World'' (blue version) and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', after the 1.30 update. During the original release, the P Switch was colored as orange with a brown P in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style, while [[? Switch]]es appeared in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style, instead of P Switches. The update changed both switches back to the original P Switch appearances from the other games, although the coloring in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style is closer to dark blue than the original's cyan.

[[File:SMMGLAPreview.jpg|thumb|Preview screenshot featuring the blue P Switch]]
Before the announcement of the 1.3.0 update for ''Super Mario Maker'', the original blue design of the P Switch in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style was accidentally leaked through the preview screenshot of the [[Mercedes-Benz Jump'n'Drive]] Event Course.

====''Super Mario Run''====
In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', P Switches return as an object. There are Purple P Switches that can eliminate all [[Boo]]s and [[Stretch]]es in the room Mario is in.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:P-Switch SMO.jpg|thumb|left|150px|A P Switch in ''Super Mario Odyssey'']]
P Switches appear once again in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They are now square-shaped rather than circular. They mainly appear in [[Moon Pipe]]s but can appear elsewhere. They act as they do in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.
{{br}}

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
P Switches appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They appear and function the same as in ''Super Mario Maker'', although like [[POW Block]]s, they now flash in all of the returning styles. In addition, a new design based on the other games is used in the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' style rather than the flatter appearance. P Switches can be placed on ceilings in this game. They also illuminate the area around them in the night version of the underwater and Ghost House themes. Some cause [[P Block]]s to switch between their dotted-line and solid forms

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
P Switches reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''.

===''Yoshi''===
[[File:YoshiNES-PSwitch-BType.png|frame]]
P Switches make a minor appearance in ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'', after the player clears levels 28 and higher of the B-Type game, rewarding the player 1,500 points. Likely owing to the game's lack of blue palette for the sprites for the NES version, they appear red.

===''Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games''===
In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', P Switches appear on the Coin Street rink of [[Snow Day Street Hockey]]. When hit by a character, they cause specific sets of Brick Blocks to turn into coins. After being used, the P Switches despawn and reappear in a different location on the rink.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
[[File:P Switch SSBU.jpg|thumb|A P Switch in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
A P Switch appears in the [[Golden Plains]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. If a fighter steps on or attacks one, Blue Coins will temporarily appear among the ordinary coins while the P Switch music plays over the stage music, as in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' sub-series. A P Switch also appears as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''.
{{br|right}}

===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
P Switches also appear in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]]. They are generally used to alter the layout of the stage, allowing the player to progress.

P Switches are in the following locations and have the following functions:

*[[Double Cherry Palace]] &ndash; Causing certain floors to retract
*[[Stumper Sneakaround]] &ndash; Causing a certain log bridge to lower
*[[Sinister Street Signs]] &ndash; Causing a cage containing the second [[Super Gem]] to rise; changing the alignment of certain [[Arrow Sign]]s and invisible platforms

*[[Stumpy Springs Sanctuary]] &ndash; Causing a water geyser to activate over a wooden raft; causing the central log platform to periodically rotate
*[[Up 'n' Down Desert]] &ndash; Causing certain platforms to rise or sink depending on their current state
*[[No Sleep at Magikoopa Keep]] &ndash; Rotates the fourth floor of the tower thirty degrees counterclockwise
*[[Deep-Space Gyromajig]] &ndash; Rotating the entire level
*[[Cookatiel's Sizzling Sprint]] &ndash; Causing the first Super Gem to appear; causing the second Super Gem to appear (three in the same area must be pressed); causing the third Super Gem to appear (two in the same area must be pressed)
*[[Toad Brigade to Magikoopa Keep!]] &ndash; Rotates the fourth floor of the tower thirty degrees counterclockwise
*[[Crown Capture at Up 'n' Down Terrace]] &ndash; Causing certain platforms of one color to rise, and certain platforms of another color to sink

===LEGO ''Super Mario''===
In [[LEGO Super Mario|LEGO ''Super Mario'']], a P Switch earns Mario digital coins when jumping while active after scanning the block, although only in the Whomp's Lava Trouble set.

===''Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit''===
{{stub|section=y}}
In ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]'', P Switches appear in some courses. Driving over them causes Blue Coins to appear, as in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games.

===''WarioWare: Get It Together!''===
A P Switch makes a minor appearance in the [[Super Mario World (WarioWare: Get It Together!)|Super Mario World]] boss microgame in''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', where it appears at the end of the first difficulty level's stage, functioning how it did in the game of the same name.

===''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope''===
In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', P Switches appear in the bonus rooms of the five planets. They all have Blue Coins that must be collected to complete the [[Blue Coin Challenge]] side quests.
