Power-ups are unique items that give special abilities to characters that use them. Most of their effects make defeating enemies or exploring levels easier. Below is a list of power-ups, including a selection of their sprites and artwork, and a list of their respective appearances in the Super Mario franchise, as well as the year of their first appearance as a power-up. Power-ups are also categorized by the duration of their effects. While other characters, such as Luigi, may be able to use many of these power-ups identically, the descriptions for these power-ups only describe their effect on Mario unless stated to only work on another character.
