Retro - Fire Flower

Modern - Boomerang

I think it's the hypest shit ever when I jump to a platform at the some time a fire ball hits an enemy down below or whatever.

The Superball powerup from Mario Land 1.

A fireball that bounces off of walls and collects coins was pretty fun to use. It also gave you a way to hit things way up high.

I loved that thing.

Feather/Leaf and that blue yoshi that could fly with any shell.

Haha mines the star

This.

Tanooki. It looks neat, and the modern games have the statue mode ground pound when it drops down.

>>2205031
This.

I really liked the Hammer Bro suit in 3 though it wasn't super useful. Still killing shit with those hammers was a ton of fun.

>>2205035
Tanukis have giant balls. That's what you're pounding the ground with. Just FYI.

Tanooki : statue all day mofo

Least fav: faggot ice flower, fucking hate it when a passion

metal cap hands down

>>2205193
I think it had some decent usage since it was both defensive and offensive.
Still my favorite and I've been hoping they'd bring it back someday

I can't get enough of the winged cap in SM64 and Flying Mario in SMG. I feel like it was underutilized in both.

I don't know how /co/ storytellers do, I don't have the patience for this.
Google chapter 7 of Tails gets Trolled, Mario vs Troll King. Mario escapes with the warp flute in the end after getting beaten with all his power ups.

Honestly the feather cape.

Kuribo shoe was really cool, but maybe it needed more levels designed for using it.

Special mention to the bunny ears from SML2 and Tanuki suit.

Does anyone else feel a little guilty when using this thing? It makes the levels too easy.

25 years later I still don't get how to fly this shit

As a kid I had a bootleg version of SMB3 for the Famiclone, which included the option to select any powerup on the map screen before starting a level. Basically I could use the P-Wing unlimited amounts of times (still had trouble on auto-scrolling levels, especially on world 8). So no, the feather didn't made me feel guilty, really.

Left to ascend, right to speed up and drop altitude. You have to drop in altitude using the right button before reascending with the left.

>>2205450
It's a leaf in Mario 3 not a feather.

>>2205493

Right, I was saying I didn't feel guilty for using the feather on SMW, because I had actually abused the P-Wing on SMB3 before, without knowing I was actually cheating. It was a thing most bootleg SMB3 carts had hacked in, you pressed B on the map screen and you had every item at your disposal from the get go. Including the flute.

>>2205496
Probably wrecked the experience in some ways. Part of the fun with the P-Wings was trying to save them for particular levels which when used there allowed you to access part of the level that was otherwise unreachable. That, or trying to save as many as you can for the world 8 levels with the tanks and airships and lava and all that shit.

>>2205503

Yeah, definitely. I didn't fully experience SMB3 with its proper difficulty until All-Stars. But then again, All-Stars has save function. I did play and beat SMB3 NES later on though.

But I must say, as a kid, it wasn't so bad to have all these nice items at my disposal. I know using cheats is horrible, and if I replay SMB3 today, that'd ruin all the fun, but back when I was 5 or 6, being able to practically go wherever I want on the game and do whatever I want was pretty awesome. It made me explore SMB3 a lot, I could revisit any level I wanted, anytime by using the flute and the cloud, and use P-wing to fully explore the level.

>>2205193
I like the Hammer Bros suit. It's one of the few ways you can kill the angry sun. I think it can one-shot Bowser too, if you can make it that far without getting hit.

>>2204870
Hammer mario.

/thread.

get tweaked out on star power and run frantically through the stage like a mad man until the rush is over. Plus it comes with it's own tune, that's good.

It's fairly useless, but it makes me laugh.

fire mario

every iteration of it is awesome and makes you feel all powerful

Wing-cap

I wanted so badly for it to be real when I was a kid. I even had dreams about it

>>2205430
No because there were levels built around you having to be skill full wit that thing

People, people, all you truly need is this Koopa Killer.
Let the Mushroom Kingdom Burn

>>2205445
This is how I feel about Wing Cap in Mario 64

It always goes down how to they expect you to go far up for those red coins how stupid

- me as a 10 year old and 24 year old

Best powerup ever!

>>2205539
Hell yes
