Ghost House has doors that appear only during the effect of a pressed? Switch, therefore functioning similarly to P Warp Doors.

They have new sprites for all styles, featuring the same shade of blue as the P Switches as well as a white or blue "P." Unlike inSuper Mario World, they are visible as outlines when not active.
