Power ups

A very intricate part of the franchise. Name your favourites and come up with your own.

A simple topic to try and cure my boredom.


Right, my favourite power up, fire flower. A classic that for me never gets old. I love killing enemies with it.

As for an idea for a new one, I think one where you shoot electricity would be cool.
 
Propeller Suit is my favorite

I don't know why I like its design so much. Maybe because it looks like helicopters which are air vehicles and I like vehicles.
 
Anything that lets you fly is cool in my book. I wish the Red Star in Galaxy 1 had more use. As for a new power-up, perhaps something that lets you walk on lava.
 
I really like the cap powers in Super Mario 64. I wish powerups would go back to being temporary like that, at least in the 3D games. It ties in with how I want them to be more about exploration and less about point A-B.

As far as long-lasting powerups are concerned my favorite is the Cape Feather from SMW. I'd love to see it return honestly.

Also while Mega Mario is kinda "meh" to me in most games, I absolutely adore the Super Paper Mario incarnation. It really fits the style of the game while being a throwback to SMB at the same time. Plus the music rocks.

As for new power-ups, I think a Bowser Suit would be pretty neat. Kill any enemy in one stomp (even stuff like Chargin' Chucks) and breathe fire to burn away wood and reveal secret passages that the Fire Flower's fireballs are too weak to burn away. Pretty sure something like this was in a Mario Party game but not in the main series.

The mentioned Electric powerup would be neat too, but I'd actually rather it be exclusive to Luigi taking the place of the Fire Flower for Mario. It would be a nice nod to Superstar Saga.

Mole Mario has been done in a fangame, but I wouldn't mind seeing it implemented in an official game either. I'd also be interested in seeing the Hammer from Donkey Kong appear in a Super Mario platformer. Complete with a remix of the music from that game (I think this was in Treasure Tracker only with a pickaxe but can't say I've played that game)
 
I think the one where you transform into a another character while retaining your voice ala Super Mario 64 DS is good. I kind of wish to play as Yoshi with Mario's ridiculous hollering.
 
Speaking of the caps in SM64DS, there actually seems to be the equivalent of a "Yoshi cap" in the game's coding. I've managed to use an AR code to play as Mario/Luigi/Wario with Yoshi's appearance. They don't say anything when using the tongue, but other than that their voices are normal when jumping, etc. When hit by an enemy they revert to their normal form but don't drop a cap.

And you wonder why people get annoyed with you.

I fail to see how that statement is annoying in the slightest?
