Talk:List of power-ups

Poison Mushroom

Should we add the Poison Mushroom ? It's an item that gives another transformation to Mario, but it's more like a "power-down"...

No, poison mushrooms are closer to enemies than power-ups.--File:NSMBWIIEJr.png BowserJunior RULES! 19:15, 1 January 2013 (EST)

They aren't power ups at all; closer to general items.

Rainbow

The "title" for every list is in a different color in order to make a "rainbow". Should we let that rainbow or write every title in the same color ? I prefer asking before editing the article if I shouldn't have done so.

The rainbow is just there for decoration... but it doesn't look professional so I support making it a standard color.

Honestly, I'd like it to be standard, but not because it doesn't look "professional", but the rainbow text can be pretty distracting and kind of pointless. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 01:22, 11 April 2013 (EDT)

Ok, so what color do we choose? Red, green, blue? :p
Banon (talk · edits) 13:23, 11 April 2013 (EDT)

I'd say the standard black. There's no need to differentiate the titles by color.

Gold Flower

How does it transform an enemy to a coin? I used it before and it only made the Koopa Troopa in it's shell fall off. --APA TKB 05:44, 25 April 2013 (EDT)

Also, it only gives you 5 coins for any enemy struck with it. --APA TKB 05:46, 25 April 2013 (EDT)

You must kill more enemies with the same golden fireball or with the same chain of jump. If you do so, the reward increases until 50 Coins per enemy. Tsunami (talk)

DK64

Do the potions that Cranky Kong gives out count as power-ups? If they do they should probably be included on this page. Yoshi876 (talk)

Yes, technically, but what about the other games, including the Wario and Yoshi ones? Those clearly have power-ups, so those need to be mentioned here, too. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 00:04, 30 October 2013 (EDT)

At this purpose there are two possibilities:

1. Making other sections for power-ups of other series;
2. Rename this page "List of power-ups in the Mario series, so doing the same for other series.

I think that is better the first option... Tsunami (talk)

CTTT

Should we add Glowing Mushroom? --Scottsc (talk) 19:27, 13 October 2014 (EDT)

SMW

Are Yoshi's Wings a power up? --Scottsc (talk) 19:29, 13 October 2014 (EDT)

smm-only powers

Add spiny hat and buzzy beetle hat.--46.130.128.26 12:04, 16 June 2015 (EDT)

Added. We don't have images or information on these items just about yet. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 20:26, 16 June 2015 (EDT)

Returning Power-Ups

Currently, the list does not include returning power-ups for games. Should this be changed? For one thing, not all powerups return in all games (hell, not a single item on this page appears in every game on the list). For a second, power-ups often change effect between games (such as the Ice Flower from Mario Galaxy being a complete outlier in terms of effect when compared to Ice Flowers in other games; and more limited changes such as the leaf in SM3D Land making you look like Tanooki Mario, but not fly or turn into a statue - only fall slower like Bunny Mario). And for a third, even when they don't change function, they can radically change visual - the Super Mushroom's design on this page was only used in SMB and cosmetic homages thereto (like Mario Maker's SMB style).

In addition, there's other inconsistencies like the SMB3 images being of the All-Stars version, while the SMB ones are of the NES version. - Reboot (talk) 21:58, 8 December 2015 (EST)
