What are your favorite Mario power-ups from any of the games? Here's a list of them if you need a refresher
For me, the fire flower is of course a classic, and I also really like the ice flower, super star, cat bell/lucky bell, penguin suit, double cherry, the super leaf, and the metal, vanish, and wing caps from Mario 64! The missions that required the caps were always fun
I always liked the Wing Cap from Super Mario 64. The music that plays is quite cute and being able to fly felt like a bonus mode where instead of being a platforming game, you're playing a flight simulator kind of game. Like Pilotwings 64. The one I don't like is the Elephant one in Super Mario Wonder. I like playing as Princess Daisy... 'cause she's cute, but not in Elephant form! If I want someone big and yellow bouncing around the screen, I'll play a Wario game, thank you very much.
I'm not good at platforming games and don't really play mainline Mario games very much, usually just the sports and party games. As such, my favorites are the Weird Mushroom and Goomba's Shoe. The Weird Mario transformation in Super Mario Maker where he becomes all tall and lanky is really goofy and I love it. Similarly, the Goomba's Shoe is another goofy little idea. I especially enjoy the Stiletto versions. It seems somewhat useful too. I guess I'll also give an honorable mention to Penguin Suit because penguins are my favorite animal and the transformed Penguin Mario design is cute.
I recently learned about the Weird Mushroom, and I am a BIG fan of that one.
Otherwise, my favorites are the Elephant Fruit, the Fire Flower, and any of the power-ups that allow you to fly or glide, from the Cape Feather to the Propellor to the Acorn Mushroom.
- Blue Shell
- Ice Flower (including the Galaxy version)
- Penguin Suit
- Boomerang Flower
- Hammer Suit
- Fire Flower
- Propeller Mushroom/Box
- Mega Mushroom
- Super Leaf (this includes Raccoon Mario and Tanooki Mario)
- Red Star
- Cape Feather
This is such a cute thread idea! The Fire Flower and Propeller Mushrooms were always my favorites growing up! I remember being OBSESSED with 3D World so I loved the double cherry for a good minute. Recently though, I love the bubble flower from Wonder!
Not sure if this counts but I like that one power up from Paper Mario the Wii version- where you can get multiple little copies of yourself. It was always entertaining to see them jump with me and then die from getting lost.
