Category:Power-ups (cleanup)

This is an informal dissection of Category:Power-ups and its subcategories for a cleanup of these categories, possibly involving a proposal.

Seems fine

• List of power-ups: Not a power-up itself, but a list of power-ups (duh!) entirely from platforming games. It's standard practice to include list articles at the top of categories, and this list had a cleanup itself that serves as the basis in my cleanup's criteria.
• Bee Mushroom (Category:Animal power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups)
• Big Mushroom (Category:Size-changing power-ups)
• Blimp Fruit (Category:Flight power-ups)
• Blue Shell (Category:Animal power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups)
• Boo Mushroom
• Boomerang Flower (Category:Animal power-ups, Category:Flower power-ups)
• Boost Star
• Bubble Flower (Category:Flower power-ups): If it's not too much of a stretch, maybe this one could be added to Category:Flight power-ups as well since the bubbles can be bounced off of?
• Bulb Berry
• Cape Feather (Category:Flight power-ups)
• Carrot (Category:Animal power-ups): Could probably be added to Category:Flight power-ups as well.
• Cloud Flower (Category:Flower power-ups): Maybe could probably be added to Category:Flight power-ups as well if that's not too much of a stretch?
• Dash Pepper
• Drill Mushroom
• Dry Bones Shell (Category:Invincibility power-ups)
• Elephant Fruit (Category:Animal power-ups)
• Flutter Wings: Should probably be moved to Category:Flight power-ups, but otherwise seems to fit.
• Fire Flower (Category:Flower power-ups)
• Frog Suit (Category:Animal power-ups)
• Giga Bell (Category:Animal power-ups, Category:Size-changing power-ups)
• Golden Flutter Wings (Category:Invincibility power-ups): Could probably be added to Category:Flight power-ups as well.

• Red Star (Category:Power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups)
• Rock Mushroom (Category:Power-ups, Category:Invincibility power-ups)
• SMB2 Mushroom
• Spring Mushroom
• Statue Leaf (Category:Animal power-ups, Category:Invincibility power-ups): Could probably be added to Category:Flight power-ups as well.
• Super Acorn (Category:Animal power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups)

• Wings (DK: Jungle Climber) (Category:Flight power-ups)
• Wings (Super Mario 64 DS) (Category:Power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups)
• Wonder Flower (Category:Flower power-ups): Some Wonder Effects from this item simply affect the environment, though others transform the player into a (sometimes) beneficial form. I'd count it as fitting for that, but I wouldn't be opposed to removing it, either.
• Yoshi Star (Category:Invincibility power-ups)
• Yoshi's Wings (Category:Power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups)

Gives the player coins, extra lives, time, etc.

• + Clock
• 1-Up Mushroom

Verdict: Remove. These don't "power up" the user in any way.
