I wonder why the P Switch is called a P Switch. What does that "P" mean? MarioWiki.com doesn't even know it.

Doesn't actually do anything.

POW, probably. Which stands for power.

Or nothing.

I've been thinking.. Maybe that "P" just stands for "Push" :')

Everything that has "P" in it is power. So in Mario 3, the P-Meter is the Power-Meter.

P possibly stands for Press or Pass.

After learning the internal name for the wings of winged blocks, I figured that the "P" in P-Wing meant Pata(which also seems to be another name for Paratroopas ), but the "P" in P-Switch is likely to stand for Power or even less likely, Pulse.

Pata is an onomatopoeia for a flapping sound. P in P Switch does not stand for pata.

"P" stands for Peta. Because they need to be stepped on.

P most likely stands for "Push" because you push the button.

The canon meaning of the P in P-Wing is "Paratroopa", as in Paratroopa Wing. But I can only assume the P in P Switch stands for Power.

The plot twist is that the real meaning of P is plot twist...
