welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 Mario Brothers power-ups for this
list we looked at the ongoing quirky
list of Mario’s power-ups from the
beginning of his adventures to his newer
intergalactic catsuit and journeys we
only looked at the platform mario games
so any power-ups that are exclusive to
Mario’s RPGs parties cart races or other
sports are out also after much debate
Yoshi is also out as we consider him the
carrot number 10 wink at super mario 64
when this game debuted we already had
gone through raccoon tails and capes was
a hat with wings the next step in Mario
flight
we searched the castle for clues but who
would think to look up into the sunlight
after collecting 10 stars the answer to
Mario’s 3d flank had been right at the
castle entrance the whole time flying
may have been temporary but exploring
the three-dimensional skies to a
variation of the Star Man theme made us
feel unstoppable
number nine mega mushroom go big or go
home as they say but Nintendo may have
taken this a bit too far we all know
what the normal mushroom does right
it makes Mario Bay at least what we
thought was pretty big but that was
until Nintendo decided to take a page
from reader repulses book on how to grow
things with this powerup mario grows as
tall as the stage itself and you can
literally crush everything in your path
there won’t be much of a mushroom
kingdom left to save if he keeps this up
number eight hammer suit Super Mario
Brothers 3 one of Mario’s most annoying
foes are a group of brothers who chuck
hammers at you
they usually have terrible enemy
placement or walk directly at you thank
you Lost Levels
but what if you could turn the tables
and nail those jerks in the face with a
hammer of your own
what if you could knock out ghosts
whomps and the king of Koopas himself
clearly you’d go mad with hammer power
which has to be the reason why this
powerup only exists in one game
number seven metal cap super mario 64
here’s a secret about the savior of the
Mushroom Kingdom
he’s a fan of heavy metal we’re not
talking about the music we mean actual
metal the hard shiny kind that should
most definitely not be drenched all over
your body while it sounds crazy to
channel Colossus in a fast-paced
platform adventure this powerup had a
few amazing perks he became completely
indestructible you could run through
toxic gas and walk on the ocean floor
how does Mario see when his eyes are
completely metal don’t ask questions
number six frog suit Super Mario
Brothers 3 while Mario doesn’t have a
pesky fear of drowning like sonic does
most of the time it still can be a
hassle to get through the deep blue sea
unless you acquire the frog suit it’s
incredible control in the water it makes
it the best swimming powerup that mario
has ever had although it does come at a
cost of some hindered movement on land
sadly it also only appears in one game
other suits have come along to duplicate
its abilities but we still miss the
novelty of the plumber turned Frog
number 5 cape feather super mario world
nutcase we know we know but we have to
make an exception this one time mario
really earns the super in his title with
this one this wasn’t the first time
mario took to the skies but it was the
first time he could do it indefinitely
except for the p wing but that wouldn’t
carry over into the next stage
the cape also doubled as a weapon with a
painful dive attack and a dizzying spin
attack all in all the Cape was both
functional and heroically fashionable
number four Tanooki suit there are
actually a few variations of this
powerup
first there’s the super leaves which
introduced Mario to flight but then we
slipped into something more cuddly with
a suit that could turn into a statue
Tanooki Mario did return in later games
but the properties of this classic suit
were well kinda neutered the new
generation of tanuki plumber can’t
become a statue unless you get a statue
leaf and as for flying
apparently soaring into the sky is
something only 2d tanukis can do number
three super star as you run through the
Mushroom Kingdom
you’re severely outnumbered there’s
koopa troopas to the left and goombas to
the right but then you hit a brick and
you see it a star what does it do you
wonder so you catch it it’s power
envelops you as an upbeat tempo plays in
the background you realize as you touch
your enemies that they’re eradicated
applaud impact and you’re invincible so
run Mario run with your twinkling yellow
sometimes colorful rainbow star and kill
them kill the ball number 2 fire flower
roses are red violets are blue
Mario’s flowers incinerate you
stomping on enemies is great null but
why scuff up your shoes when you can try
our hand at some floral pyromania this
flaming flower has been in Mario’s
Arsenal since the 80s and has been
setting Bowser’s minions on fire ever
since whether you’re on land or under
water still not sure how that works
nothing says battle-ready like a bright
orange flower before we get to our
number 1 let’s power up with some
honorable mentions
number one super mushroom this may seem
like an odd choice compared to feathers
flowers and stars but simply put you can
never forget your first well second
powerup while it can’t help you fly
can’t set enemies on fire and doesn’t
make you invincible we always turn to
this growth inducing fungus when we’re
in a pinch here’s the thing that’s
really gonna mess with your head though
is Mario full-sized with the mushroom or
without it does it turn him from a
midget into a normal-sized person or a
normal-sized person into some sort of
ogre man nobody can ever really give me
a straight answer on that do you agree
with our list which powerup is a
must-have for your princess saving
adventures for more mushroom powered
