Template:Item-infobox P-Switches (also known as P-Switch Blocks in Super Mario World, New Super Mario Bros., and New Super Mario Bros. Wii) are items found in Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, New Super Mario Bros., and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. When pressed, a P-Switch changes something in the stage for a limited amount of time. This includes:

A P-Switch in the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 3.

One rather confusing thing is that a Brick Block with an item inside it will look like a coin, but act like a block. This confusion was removed in the Game Boy Advance remake of Super Mario Bros. 3.

In Super Mario World, the gray version of the P-Switch makes most enemies turn into Silver Coins. Collecting eight of these coins awards Mario a 1-Up. Collect one more for a 2-Up. After nine coins, Mario will earn 3-Ups for each additional coin.

P-Switches will also appear in the upcoming Nintendo 3DS game, Super Mario 3D. Here, they are flatten with a light blue "P" printed.
