As I said above, currently this page treats power-ups as accumulative - as if they appear in ''every'' game past their debut, as opposed to every game having a different lineup - and ignores that the design of a power-up in their original game often differs from the design that becomes the default later on. Rather than listing Super Mushrooms and suchlike umpteen times, how about we just go with alphabetising (the "Images" column would not show ''every'' sprite, just the major design changes. Maximum of five, but I don't think any power-ups actually have that many major changes). Columns to look something like this:

The moon in SMM2 functions exactly like the Lucky Star. So should the smm2 moon be added?[[User:Pikachu210|Pikachu210]] ([[User talk:Pikachu210|talk]]) 13:01, July 8, 2020 (EDT)

The term "power-up" is pretty vague. No one can agree what does and doesn't count as a power-up. The shoes don't give Mario new abilities. Rather, the shoe itself has the ability. It's more like a vehicle than a power-up. [[User:Pikachu210|Pikachu210]] ([[User talk:Pikachu210|talk]])

:They’re power-ups because they give Mario an ability he can’t do normally. Simple as that.[[User:Somethingone|Somethingone]] ([[User talk:Somethingone|talk]]) 20:34, November 8, 2021 (EST)
::You're the only one who seems to be having any issue with this, to be frank. The definition we have in place now is pretty simple, they're items that Mario (or any character) can collect that grant special abilities as long as he has the item, and that can usually be lost by taking damage. There really isn't any difference between the Fire Flower and the Goomba's Shoe in that regard. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 20:52, November 8, 2021 (EST)
== Giga Mushroom ==
Just thought I'd ask this, should the Giga mushroom be added? It was certainly considered for Bowsers's Fury. (It was finished, just not implemented.) I'm not expecting this to be added, just thought I'd ask.

:It is unused, so no it shouldn't be added. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 13:30, December 22, 2021 (EST)
== goomba's shoe ==
The goomba's shoe is no more of a power-up than Yoshi. They even replace each other in different game styles in the Super Mario Maker games. [[User:Pikachu210|Pikachu210]] ([[User talk:Pikachu210|talk]]) 19:45, April 13, 2023 (EDT)
:For my two cents, Yoshi in the platforming games actually is treated like a power-up and I wouldn't be entirely opposed to including him on this list for the same reason as Goomba's Shoe. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 17:03, April 15, 2023 (EDT)
::Yoshi is no power-up. Yoshi is a dinosaur. [[User:Pikachu210|Pikachu210]] ([[User talk:Pikachu210|talk]]) 03:39, April 21, 2023 (EDT)
