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) Per all.
 * 4) - Per all.
 * 5) Per all.
 * 6) Per all.
 * 7) Per all.
 * 8) Per all.
 * 9) Per all.


 * 1) 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.)

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)
 * If anything else, is this the only Wiki that has proposals between splitting, rennaming and mergeing? -- 07:41, 17 October 2018 (EDT)

Split Trample Switch?
Seeing as how Super Mario 3D World has these particular switches, which function differently in that they require two bodies to be on two respective switches for an effect to occur, should we necessarily split them out? 01:43, 8 March 2019 (EST)
 * Interesting scenario... I'm not too sure how to proceed either. What's the Japanese name? -- 03:24, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
