'''Power-Ups''' give special abilities to the character receiving the power-up. Most of the abilities include changing the character's size and giving them the ability to fly. Below is a list of the different power-ups found in the game of their first appearance.
'''Power-ups''' are unique [[List of items|items]] that give special abilities to characters that use them. Most of their effects make defeating [[List of enemies|enemies]] or exploring [[level]]s 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)|''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. The article for each power-up provides more information, including a full list of which characters can use it.

"Power-up" redirects here. For other uses, see Power-up (disambiguation).

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. The article for each power-up provides more information, including a full list of which characters can use it.
