P Switch



P-Switches are items found in Super Mario World. When pressed, a P-Switch changes something in the stage for a limited amount of time. This includes filling the area with Gold Coins, and turning Gold Coins into blocks (or vice versa).

The gray version of the P-Switch makes most enemies turn into Gray Coins. Collect eight coins and Mario will earn a 1-Up. Collect one more for a 2-Up. After nine coins, Mario will earn 3-Ups for each additional coin.
