5. Mushroom |
|
Easily in the Top 5, the
Mushroom is the gold standard in
the Mario world. Getting one
will make Mario super, and it
will allow for more hits (enemy
damage) to take Mario out. This
power up appears in numerous
Mario games and is generally
needed to get a higher stage of
power ups. |

4. Tanooki Suit / Hammer Suit |
|
These 2 suits appear in Super
Mario Bros. 3 and instantly
became classics. The Tanooki
Suit allows Mario to fly and
with it, he can also turn into a
stone statue to avoid enemies.
The Hammer Suit allows Mario to
have the ability of a Hammer
Bro. - hurling hammers at
enemies. |

3. Fire Flower |
|
The Fire Flower is another
classic power up. Using one of
these will give Mario the
ability to harness the power of
fire in his hands and let him
throw fire balls. Seriously
though, who would of thought
that an orange flower would give
someone the ability to throw
fire balls?? |

|
2. Cape / Feather (P-Wing...?) |
|
More classics, anyone??? These 2
power ups grant Mario the
ability to take to the skies.
The Feather has limited flying
abilities, but the Cape allows
Mario to stay high in the air
until the level is over. These
items are very, very useful. |

1. Star (Starman) |
|
Nothing beats the power of
invincibility. The Star isn't
the best power up. It isn't the
most liked, it doesn't give the
most abilities. But it stays
consistent throughout the Mario
series. It even has its own
theme! The Star has been used
so, so many times in the Mario
series, and its music also
appears in many, many Mario
games. It's not so much that
it's people's favorite, it's not
that it's the flashiest power
up, it's that it's a constant in
the Mario series. |
