Double Cherry
- This article is about the item that appears in Super Mario 3D World and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. For the item that appears in Super Mario Bros. 2 and its remakes, see Cherry. For the Bros. Item in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time that has similar effects, see Copy Flower.
Template:Item-infobox The Double Cherry is an item first appearing in Super Mario 3D World. The Double Cherry's conception comes from the result of a mistake made by a staff member with the placement tool, which created two player Marios. The staff thought it was a good idea and decided to implement it in the game.[1]
History
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
Double Cherries first appear in Super Mario 3D World and return in its Nintendo Switch port. When characters grab this item, a clone of themselves appears and says a short phrase depending on who picked it up. The clones keep the original characters' state (for example, Fire Mario gets a clone that also has a Fire Flower), power-ups affect all of them, and they all move identically. The clones can be used to activate certain switches and platforms. There can be up to five clones at one time. If players hit question blocks that contain Double Cherries when five doubles exist, a coin will come out instead. The clones disintegrate if harmed, and they all disappear when the player grabs the Goal Pole, awarding 1,000 points per clone. The players can also ground-pound on other players to steal their double power.
