Mario and His Power-Ups

[Kat]

You've got a favorite or two! Do tell which one/s <3



Picked up this nifty chart from TechEBlog and it's interesting to see how he's grown, and how much help he needed all along.

Besides the default mushroom (never fails), I've always loved the feather/cape and Power Carrot/bunny ears.. anything to do with flying. So in that case the Raccoon suit too, heehee. I found the balloon Mario annoying to navigate though..

What about you guuys :o

I was always a proponent of the hammer suit Mario and I had the best timing with that suit with those awesome throwing hammers, I would finish almost whole stages with that damn suit.

Coming in a close second is the Boot, I'm sorry but when you're simply hopping across pirahna mouths and stomping everything in sight, you're god.

The Raccoon suit coming in third mainly for the novelty of him just turning into a statue. Fun stuff.

The ultimate is Boot+Mario in Raccoon suit. It was a poor man's transformer almost.

And an honorable mention was the Cape from Super Mario World. He's a freaking pudgy hairy italian flying with a yellow bedsheet, what isn't awesome there?

Hammer Suit and Tanooki Suit are my favorites by far. Cape gets a mention just because it makes it so easy to fly across entire stages and Frog Suit is also nice for those underwater levels.

Any and all of the flying upgrades are awesome IMO.

I loved the hammer suit in three, but I also like the starman. I mean to say, who doesn't like the starman? o.O

[get_mik]

Eh, starman = god mode except when he falls into a pit...

SMB3 had all the good powerups. The Hammersuit was always my favourite yet it was hard as hell to come by, if I recall correctly. The Bear/Racoon suit that allowed you to turn into a statue was also a favourite, although the statue-bit never did much good it was still cool to use

And of course, the boot. Looking back at it I don't see why it's so damn cool. I guess it just is.

Cape. Special World + Flying = Win Win. Spoecially Outrageous.

I'm a fan of "Bunny Ear Mario" from the Gameboy.

[MooglePeru]

Yeah, that one too. They must port a Super Mario Land collection, or something, to the GBA or DS...
