oil slick from Spy Hunter most of us
play racing games because we don’t own
awesome spy cars from all of the racing
games out there there’s one particular
standout powerup that would make James
Bond proud that of course is the oil
slick from Spy Hunter number 9 on fire
from NBA Jam taking sports terminology
literally is NBA jams ability to be on
fire all it takes is three shots in a
row by the same player and you’ll become
more accurate while having unlimited
turbo essentially this powerup rewards
you for being awesome by making you even
more awesome number eight bottled fairy

Past

case he kidnaps fairies by placing them
in bottles to restore his health or have
them bring him back from the dead
number 7 power pellets from pac-man
those pesky ghosts are always out to
stop pac-man from stuffing his face
however the yellow muncher can eat a
power pellet to not only become
invincible but also blinky pinky inky
and Clyde number 6 star man from the
Mario Brothers series not only does the
star man temporarily make Mario and his
brother invincible but it also makes
players wicked fast in Mario Kart and
able to do ninja flips in Mario 3 now
that’s just badass number 5 screwattack
from Metroid Samus Aran is an
intergalactic bounty hunter with a
strong constitution this is demonstrated
by her ability to perform the screw

a spinning ball of destructive energy

for hurling barrels down a construction
site these could really stump you that
is until you pick up the hammer and
plough your way forward number 3 potion

later you arcade action filled with
neverending waves of enemies requires
something capable of mass destruction

intense enemies of all time

Brothers possibly the most popular and
well-known powerup in history it causes
Mario to double in size take damage and
reach high up platforms most video games
have some form of powerup ability or
item and while these may be the most
useful and memorable there are a few
more we’d like to pay our respects to
these include mario karts blue turtle
shell that locks onto the lead racer the
opponent shrinking lightning bolt the
flight enabled raccoon suit from Super
Mario Brothers 3 Sonic’s ability to go
supersonic and the quad gun from quake
which quadruples your damage power
