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[1] 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)

This talk page section contains an unresolved talk page proposal. Please try to help and resolve the issue by voting or leaving a comment.

Current time: Sunday, December 22, 2024, 13:37 GMT

They appear differently, have different function, and were named differently, as the Gray P Switch uses an identifier in Japanese.

Split all

1. FanOfYoshi (talk)Per.
2. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) Indubitably. They're different things, having them together like this with the "effects" list is rather clunky.
3. Toadette the Achiever (talk) 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. Scrooge200 (talk) Per all.
5. Alex95 (talk) - Per all.
6. TheFlameChomp (talk) Per all.
7. WeirdDave13 (talk) Per all.
8. Niiue (talk) Per all.
9. Mario Kart DS Fan (talk) Per all.

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. -- FanOfYoshi 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? ^(T|C) 13:44, 8 October 2018 (EDT)

Not bad! -- FanOfYoshi 13:45, 8 October 2018 (EDT)

I will change the name of the section, and adding a new one! -- FanOfYoshi 13:46, 8 October 2018 (EDT)

What do you mean by that? ^(T|C) 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). -- FanOfYoshi 11:51, 9 October 2018 (EDT)

<-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. -- FanOfYoshi 03:40, 10 October 2018 (EDT)
