Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES)

P-Switch brick trick

If a P-Switch is hit while a brick block is bumped out of place by small Mario, the brick won't change to a coin. When the P-Switch shuts off, the brick will change to a coin permanently. This glitch was discovered in the bonus room in World 2-Pyramid.
