I'm not convinced that this template is necessary when Category:Mario's Transformations already exists. Ideally, navigation templates exist in lieu of categories because they allow for specificity: Template:Bandits, for example, specifies which entries are characters and which are bandits, which couldn't be done with a category. I imagine that numerous users would only want to search for the species and not the characters, or vice-versa, so having this distinction is good. With that in mind, what value is there in this template's distinctions? I seriously cannot imagine anyone who is scrolling through Mario's power-ups based on whether or not they are temporary or permanent for the player (and also "other", whose entries seem arbitrary). If a user is looking at the effects of every power-up, then the List of power-ups is infinitely more useful and practical than the template because it fully details what everything does. This templates uses a level of specificity that doesn't help anyone and just adds more clutter to the pile of navigation templates at the bottom of the page.
