Silver Coins,[1], also known as Gray Coins[2] sometimes named Blue Coins, are coins in the Super Mario series that appear only when a P-Switch has been pressed, and disappear once the P-Switch wears off.
Appearances[]
Super Mario series[]
Super Mario Bros. 3[]
Silver Coins first appear in Super Mario Bros. 3, where they appear in certain spots for as long as a P-Switch is in effect. Silver Coins have the same value as standard Gold Coins and are found usually in clusters. They are colored a light cyan in all versions.
Super Mario World[]
In Super Mario World, pressing a Silver P-Switch turns all enemies into Silver Coins for a limited time. However, Silver Coins work differently from standard coins in this game; if enough are collected, they give extra lives, similar to jumping on numerous enemies in succession. In certain levels, a trick involving hordes of enemies and a Silver P-Switch can be executed to earn dozens of extra lives. This goes in order with collecting Silver coins:
- 400 - 1 Silver Coin
- 800 - 2 Silver Coins
- 1000 - 3 Silver Coins
- 2000 - 4 Silver Coins
- 4000 - 5 Silver Coins
- 8000 - 6 Silver Coins
- 1UP - 7 Silver Coins
- 2UP - 8 Silver Coins
- 3UP - 9 Silver Coins or more
New Super Mario Bros.[]
Silver Coins appear in New Super Mario Bros., having the same role and cyan color as in Super Mario Bros. 3. They sometimes appear in a trail behind Invincible Mario in a few levels, like World 7-3 and in a secret area in World 5-3. In subsequent Super Mario games, the Silver Coins are replaced by Blue Coins.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[]
Blue Coins reappear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, now with a slightly-deeper color than in New Super Mario Bros. When the player collects every blue coin in a level before they disappear, the sound of an audience clapping will play. They are often arranged in patterns.
New Super Mario Bros. 2[]
Blue Coins also appear in New Super Mario Bros. 2. Just like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the audience claps after all of them in a series are collected.
New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[]
Blue Coins once again appear in New Super Mario Bros. U, where they function similarly to their New Super Mario Bros. 2 counterpart. In the expansion pack New Super Luigi U, a Blue Ring which produces many Blue Coins similar to P-Switches also appears. Rather than clapping after collecting them all, the audience instead cheers.
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[]

Blue Coins reappear in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, where they serve the same function as in the New Super Mario Bros. series. After collecting all of the coins, another series of coins appears. Collecting every series of coins rewards a stamp or a Green Star.
Blue Coins also appear as part of certain Cat Shine missions in Bowser's Fury, where they have a blue color matching that of the Blue Coins in Super Mario Sunshine. They are again activated by P Switches, though this time, if the player fails to collect all of the Blue Coins within the time limit, they can activate the P Switch again to retry. Collecting every series of Blue Coins causes a Cat Shine to appear within the area.
