Talk:P Switch

I always thought those Gray Coins were Silver Coins. Can anyone support one or the other with sources? -- Son of Suns


 * Well, nothing super official, but TMK seems to think they're silver coins. Monty Mole 15:35, 6 September 2006 (EDT)


 * Silver would make sense, as the other coins are gold.... -- Son of Suns

The correct name is "POW-Switch".--Bowser the Shredder 11:12, 18 April 2009 (EDT)
 * That's FuSoYa's name he gave them in Lunar Magic.--Sticklyman (talk) 09:15, 25 August 2012 (EDT)

Shouldn't this be moved to Switch Block if that's its name in the most recent games? Pseudo-dino 13:23, 28 June 2011 (EDT)

Split P Switch, Gray P Switch, and Switch Block (Mario & Wario)
They appear differently, have different function, and were named differently, as the Gray P Switch uses an identifier in Japanese.

Split all

 * 1) Per.
 * 2) Indubitably. They're different things, having them together like this with the "effects" list is rather clunky.
 * 3) The differences are apparent and drastic enough to split both. (The Switch Block from M&W especially functions more like Beep Blocks than like P Switches.)
 * 4) Per all.
 * 5) - Per all.
 * 6) Per all.
 * 7) Per all.
 * 8) Per all.
 * 9) Per all.

Comments
Yeah, normal P Switches are blue, have an orange rim in this game, and only turn coins into blocks, and used blocks into coins, and Gray P Switches, as their name implies they are gray. They have a pink rim, and turn enemies into coins. -- 13:30, 8 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Wouldn't it be better if this was a multi-option proposal? You know, if someone only wants one or the other split? 13:44, 8 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Not bad! -- 13:45, 8 October 2018 (EDT)
 * I will change the name of the section, and adding a new one! -- 13:46, 8 October 2018 (EDT)
 * What do you mean by that? 13:48, 8 October 2018 (EDT)
 * I'd say that we need both a sprite of the Switch Block from Mario & Wario, and a Japanese name for it (if it does have one). -- 11:51, 9 October 2018 (EDT)
 * [[File:M&WSwitchBlocks.png]] <-These are M&W Switch Blocks. Given that's a JP-only game and other objects from it have confirmed names, it's likely a legitimate Japanese name. While there is a possibility they were intended to be the same object tweaked heavily for gameplay at a time when their design wasn't as set-in-stone, it's not a high enough possibility in my opinion without further evidence. They're probably intended as different things entirely, particularly given the different function. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 06:38, 10 October 2018 (EDT)
 * However, it is true that the Gray P Switch just a redirect for this page, and wasn't an actual article before. -- 03:40, 10 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Yeah, these Switch Blocks differ drastically from the normal P Switch. Let's see what Waluigi Time thinks about it. -- 12:21, 10 October 2018 (EDT)
 * I mean about the Gray P Switch since those from Mario & Wario ressemble creatures inside boxes because of their eyes. -- 12:36, 10 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Well, i realized that Fluffin' Puffin weren't maybe intended to be the same thing as Huffin-Puffins, i think they should all be split. -- 12:19, 11 October 2018 (EDT)
