Gray Coins,[1][2] also described assilver coins,[3] arecoins that appear inSuper Mario World. Pressing aGray P Switch turns some types of enemies into Gray Coins for a limited time.Lakitus do not turn into Gray Coins, but theirSpiny Eggs do. Gray Coins work differently from standard coins in this game; if enough are collected, they giveextra lives, similar tojumping on numerous enemies in succession. In certainlevels, a trick involving hordes of enemies and a Gray P Switch can be executed to earn dozens of extra lives. The switch can also be renewed througha glitch involvingYoshi.
