What is your favourite Super Mario powerup?

[Baron von Blitztank]

So i've been playing through a bit of New Super Mario Bros. on the DS and during my playthrough I've made a brief decision to ask my fellow Escapists on what their favourite powerup in Super Mario is.

My favourite goes to the Feather/Cape from Super Mario World as you can use it to kill enemies by swinging it and you can use it for flight, which can allow you to skip some levels.

And Yoshi's count as a powerup

Goombas Shoe!

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Mushroom.

Once you turn bigger for the first time, you know this is a game your going to enjoy.

Calumon: I like turtles...
Do they even count?

Hammer suit, you could kill thwomps and dry bones with it.

Dammit, ninja'd by Vile. >.<

Since I'm not sure if the POW Block counts as a power-up, I'm going to have to say the classic Fire Flower. Anything that allows you to launch orbs of fiery doom at your enemies is a wonderful thing.

I don't know what the "official name" is for it, but the Froggy Suit from Super Mario Bros. 3!
I love how you walk/run in it and the animations are just &#9829~
Ribbit~ Ribbit~

 

[Ghored]

Helicopter Mushroom?

I don't remember the name, but you could fly over the entire level with that stuff.

Oh, and a starman every now and again isn't bad either.

 

[Gigaguy64]

Ohhh, either the Feather, Blue Yoshi, or Starman.

 

[AvsJoe]

Fire-flower. Good old reliable fire-flower. Has always been my favourite.

Calumon: I like turtles...
Do they even count?

D'awwww!

No, Calumon, they don't.

 

[Dimitriov]

Star? Obviously... just for the music!

Sooooooooo the feather/cape. So useful and so fun to use!

I'll allow the POW blocks.
