The Super Leaf gives the user the ears and tail of a raccoon dog, allowing them to swing the tail to destroy nearby obstacles and slow their fall.
3 proper, characters such as Toad and Princess Peach are still shown using these power-ups in supplemental material such as television series. Although they are not playable in Super Mario Bros. This establishes a trend of each 2D game introducing a major new powerup that is heavily associated with it through promotional material.
3 reuses the traditional power-up system, introducing a variety of new power-ups, many taking the appearance of animal-themed suits that Mario would wear. Raccoon Mario is displayed prominently on the Super Mario Bros. The player character can collect 5 Cherries to acquire a Super Star. As playable characters in this game, Toad and Princess Peach can use power-ups. However, at only 1 point of health, they will still appear in Small form. 2 uses a different system where the player can earn more health than their state would indicate in other games. It looks similar to the Super Mushroom but has a different color scheme. Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels introduces the Poison Mushroom, a "power-up" that damages the player character if used. The same result can be achieved by collecting 100 coins. However, they can still lose a life by falling into a bottomless pit, water hazard, or lava, while the 1-Up Mushroom gives the user an extra life. The Super Star makes the user temporarily invincible, able to defeat enemies on contact without receiving damage.
This was changed in the international releases of the following games the more forgiving system later became series standard across all regions. Unlike in later games, taking damage in Fire form returns the character to Small form, rather than Super form. Only 2 fireballs can be on screen at a time. The Fire Flower lets the user throw fireballs to defeat enemies at a long range. A character in Super form or better can take damage one more time, at the expense of returning to Small form.
The Super Mushroom doubles the user's height, allowing them to break empty Brick Blocks. Luigi is also able to use these power-ups. introduces the traditional power-up system and four power-ups. This power-up is later referenced by the Super Pickaxe in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. This item only lasts for a limited time, indicated by a change in background music, which is comparable to the later Super Star. In Donkey Kong, Mario can collect a hammer that he swings to destroy obstacles in front of him. We hope to complete it as soon as possible! Please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on.
