-'''Gray P Switches'''<ref>Nintendo ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide.

They appear identical to normal [[P Switch|Switch Block]]s except that they are gray with a pink rim as opposed to blue with an orange rim. When pressed, they turn all enemies that are onscreen into [[Gray Coin]]s.

Pages 153 and 161.</ref> (or '''Gray P-Switches''')<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 28, page 23.</ref> are objects in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]]. They appear identical to normal [[P Switch|Switch Block]]s except that they are gray with pink rims as opposed to blue with orange rims. When pressed, they turn some types of enemies into [[Gray Coin]]s.
-As revealed by hacking, Gray P Switches also possess the ability to transform [[Muncher]]s into ordinary [[Coin]]s for the duration of their effect, similar to regular Switch Blocks in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. However, as Gray P Switches never appear in the same levels as Munchers in ''Super Mario World'', this functionality cannot be seen in game.

+Due to [[List of Super Mario World glitches#Switch Block color swap|a glitch]], Gray P Switches act like normal P Switches after being taken through a [[Warp Pipe|pipe]], though they retain their gray coloration.
+Gray P Switches are also [[List of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 pre-release and unused content|unused]] in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they would act as they originally did.<ref>TCRF.
