Gray Coin

Gray Coins, also described as silver coins, are coins that appear in Super Mario World. Pressing a Gray P Switch turns some types of enemies into Gray Coins for a limited time. Lakitus do not turn into Gray Coins but their Spiny Eggs do. but However, Gray Coins work differently from standard coins in this game; if enough are collected, they give extra lives, similar to jumping on numerous enemies in succession. In certain levels, a trick involving hordes of enemies and a Gray P Switch can be executed to earn dozens of extra lives. The switch can also be renewed through a glitch involving Yoshi. This goes in order with collecting Gray Coins:


 * 400 – 1 Gray Coin
 * 800 – 2 Gray Coins
 * 1,000 – 3 Gray Coins
 * 2,000 – 4 Gray Coins
 * 4,000 – 5 Gray Coins
 * 8,000 – 6 Gray Coins
 * 1UP – 7 Gray Coins
 * 2UP – 8 Gray Coins
 * 3UP – 9 Gray Coins or more

Gray Coins appear in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour in the Coin Shoot mode. They are worth 40 coins when the ball is close to them.
