Ranking Every Mario Power-Up

there are a ton of Mario power-ups I've even made videos in the past about these little bundles of joy but ranking all of them is a whole different level this list will include power-ups from all the main 2d and 3d Mario games I won't be counting the power-ups from spin-offs like Paper Mario or the Mario & Luigi RPGs as well as Yoshi besides his appearance in Mario 64 DS since you can control them and the captures from Mario Odyssey won't count either defining a powerup was surprisingly hard to do because the idea of one ranges in a large spectrum but I decided that if it attaches to your body and it changes you that counts so that means no power blocks or potted Piranha Plants but things like a blue shell or cape feather will count and with all that said let's get a ranked 64 rotten mushroom this is a powerup that literally hurts you if you're small Mario you'll just straight-up die and worse it chases you around and can climb up walls that's just cruel man Oh 63 poison mushroom it's basically the rotten mushroom but it doesn't chase you around however in the older games it looks kind of similar to the normal mushroom so you do need to pay close attention 62 Goomba mask you run around with a Goomba mask so goombas don't recognize you it's honestly pretty useless seeing how easy it is to squish goombas to begin with plus you can't get rid of it unless you get hit 61 spin drill you'll use this to dig through the dirt quickly but it has no other use beyond that it exists to be a fun level gimmick and that's about it 60 mini mushroom you shrink way down in size and can go through tiny pathways walk on water and even up walls in the newer titles however you're really vulnerable to pretty much every enemy most of them require a ground pound to knock out like the spin drill it's just a gimmick to find secret areas and levels 59 gold block a brick block somehow goes through your head and you can collect a bunch of coins with it I guess if you want to get one ups quickly that can be useful but for the most part it just doesn't have much of a reason to exist 58 Yoshi power flower even though I said Yoshi doesn't count he's technically a character in Mario 64 DS and the power flower gives them the ability to breathe fire while that's useful for things like melting ice blocks really it's just slower than eating enemies and turning them into aches 57 lightbox this helps you see through dark areas and can poof away booze if you point the light at one long enough it's okay but really only useful for these specific circumstances 56 ice-skate you hop into one giant skate and can move across the ice slightly easier and faster the big issue is you can't slow down at all and you'll lose the skate when you run into something like a wall 55 frog suit this one is infamous for being horrible and it kind of is on land since hopping around is extremely awkward and slow but swimming with this on is pretty fantastic you move a lot faster and just more fluidly 54 super mushroom it feels weird to have this one solo on the list but all it does is make you grow in size and you can take an extra hit you can also break through most blocks but it doesn't do much beyond that 53 weird mushroom it's basically the super mushroom but now you have a slightly better jump and you look pretty lanky 52 boom mushroom you go temporarily invisible and float through certain walls however you move really slowly and you'll lose your form if another boo or light touches you 51 vanish cap it's really similar to the boo mushroom as you can pass through certain walls for a short period however this caplets you keep all of Mario's moves deeming him much more useful 50 metal cap with this you can walk on water and you're invincible it sounds pretty great and it is but the metal cap only lasts for a brief period of time which really nerves its potential o49 spring mushroom you can spring yourself high into the air with a well time jump you can even climb up walls with this thing but just moving around is annoying and you can't attack either besides ground pounding 48 hammer suit you can throw hammers just like a hammer bro it's definitely cool but a bit hard to aim with since the Hammers arch up 47 Super Ball flower a fireball that bounces all over the place it's really hard to use properly and you can only throw one at a time but it's unique inclusion and even made its way into Super Mario maker 2 somehow 46 boomerang flower you throw one boomerang at a time and it can hit multiple enemies at once wow that's cool and all it is a little tricky to aim with 45 power balloon Mario puffs up and can float for a little bit while you can gain a good amount of height you're really vulnerable in this state and move slowly so it's not the most practical flying item 44 rock mushroom you turn into a giant rock to launch yourself forward and can destroy most things in your path it's a little hard to control but you're able to break giant structures that you normally wouldn't be able to 43 double cherry for those that dreamed of controlling several tanuki Rosalina's the double cherry fills that nice just for you this can be incredibly useful with the right power-ups attached but it's also a chore trying to control multiple characters at once 42 galaxies fire flower so yes this is the classic fire flower but I'm counting it as a different powerup for one big reason it can only be used for a temporary amount of time which really sucks plus they're harder to aim with since you're in a 3d space 41 galaxies ice flower this is slightly better than the galaxy's fire flower because you can run across frigid water you still have that pesky timer to worry about though and you can't even throw ice balls which is a bit odd 40 green shell this is a weird one to add but by running with it in mario 3d world mario goes inside the shell and can go to town on enemies and you can kind of control what direction you go in but it's hard to keep the momentum going 39 buzzy beetle shell you wear the shell of a deceased beetle on your head and it protects you from enemies like swamps as an example this shell only comes off when you get hit by something Oh thirty-eight spiny shell it's basically the buzzy beetle shell but now you can destroy blocks and enemies from above which in general is more useful 37 cannon box wearing this you'll fire cannon balls continuously you can also charge up for a stronger cannonball this is another powerup that can't be taken off until you get hit 36 be mushroom one of the most out-there ideas for a powerup as a bee you can fly temporarily and climb up honey walls the issue with this is that you can't touch the water or an enemy or you'll straight-up lose the suit 35 blue shell you ride around in a blue Koopa shell it's really fun to use but a little hard to control like the green shell it's good for destroying enemies in certain blocks and on top of that it makes swimming easier and more precise 34 dry bone shell lava is no longer deadly as Mario can literally float above it and be just dandy plus you can play dead and be temporarily invincible I'm not sure how Mario transforms into dry bones but hey I'll take it 33 Koopa Troopa car you literally drive a car and can run over enemies it's a lot of fun to use but the car can get destroyed from walls or some objects after three hits and turning around pits Mario at a stop for a second so it takes some time getting used to 32 3d fireflower this is exactly the same as galaxies fire flower but there's no timer on its use hitting enemies with fireballs is still little clunky in 3d but it works 31 super hammer you become builder Mario and can whack enemies and blocks with a mighty hammer this hammer can actually break blocks that you normally wouldn't be able to and Mario can build boxes out of thin air that you can use to go across lava if need be Oh 30 big mushroom as the name implies you grow really big and can squish most enemies and objects besides note blocks with that said though you can still take damage from enemies 29 2 D fire flower we finally gotten to the original powerup you throw multiple fireballs and it kills most enemies in one shot or a few shots the fire flower just works wonder is in a 2d plane 28 ice flower similar to the fire flower except you throw ice balls that can freeze enemies in place even better the ice blocks can be used as another attack 27 penguin suit this makes the ice flower null you can throw ice balls as well as slide on your tummy and defeat enemies plus it makes swimming way faster and more accurate 26 gold flower when a gold ball collides with an enemy or certain objects everything bursts into coins while the coins aren't that useful the blast radius is way better than a regular fire flower 25 Super Bell you'll turn into a cat and can climb up walls and attack with your claws it's extremely useful for navigating an attacking enemy twenty-four lucky bail it's the super bail but now you can also transform into a statue or plucky cat Mario 23 Goomba shoe you hop around in a giant shoe and are invulnerable to usually deadly enemies like munchers if you use the big shoe for mario maker you can ground pound and cause a shockwave which kills enemies 22 like a two's cloud you have to defeat a lekha - for this first but a grants mario flight for a short period of time it's a really nice way to skip across giant chunks of a level o21 propeller box pick this up and you can fly higher in the air you can't do much more than that but the extended jump is really useful and it lasts until you get hit by something 23 DS super leaf the super leaf in the 3d marios has one big difference the 2d Mario's doesn't and that's the inability to fly you can't still float slowly in attack though which are extremely beneficial abilities 19 statue leaf it's exactly like the 3ds super leaf but by ground pounding you turn into a statue 18 mega mushroom you grow into a big big boy and destroy everything in your path you're also given what ups if you get enough points the only downside is that it's a temporary powerup 17 wink at you can fly around temporarily and get across massive sections of a level the flying is a little awkward though since keeping your speed up takes some time getting used to 16 red star it's basically the wing cap but it's a lot easier to fly with although it's not really utilized in mario galaxy the powerup in general is better 15 propeller mushroom this is very similar to the propeller box but it's not attached to your head anymore plus you can drill back down into the ground as an additional attack 14 cloud flower Mario can create 3 cloud platforms to greatly increase his horizontal or vertical jumps regular jumps are more floaty to making him even better this can be a pretty broken powerup in some levels 13 super acorn you slowly glide downwards and can add an additional jump as well it's a weird way to fly around but it's definitely helpful 12 2d super leaf by building up a bit of speed you can fly to great heights and slowly fall down plus your tails a nice weapon that you can spam to get quick kill eleven Tanooki suit it's the same thing as the super leaf but you can transform it to a statute which lets you hide from enemies so it's slightly better ten super crown probably the most transformative mario powerup you literally turn into another character p chet p check and double jump float just like the super acorn and even get automatically boosted before falling into a pit nine Karen you can fly through the air infinitely if the button is mashed fast enough or you'll slowly fall down with the carrot you could skip entire levels that's how ridiculous this one is eight stars you're granted temporary invincibility to every in all enemies now obviously it's amazing but your moveset isn't really enhanced besides running a bit faster seven cape feather with your trusty cape you'll glide through the air and can continue to fly forward or pick up speed to descent if used right it's extremely useful and you can attack enemies with the cape 206 Koopa clown car you fly in Bowser's vehicle for as long as you want and it can still attack enemies like normal it's the ultimate flying machine 5 fire Koopa clown car you know I take that back this is the ultimate flying machine on top of unlimited flight now you can shoot fireballs and even charge them up for PA corn you can basically fly for as long as you want and it faster speeds than the clown cars while you are susceptible to taking damage it doesn't usually matter when you're able to breeze through an entire level o3p wing it's very similar to the PA corn but the flying is slightly easier plus you can still attack enemies to 3d invincibility leaf not only can you float around and have a better jump but you're completely invincible for an entire level it's like having stars that don't go away and your jumping is dramatically improved in one 2d invincibility leaf it's slightly better than the 3d one because you can actually fly for a bit it doesn't last for forever like the P wing but the meter charges up so fast that you practically do fly for forever this list was stupidly hard to make it was quite the challenge trying to piece together all the power-ups and how useful they are on their own and but with that said let me know what you think the best and worst power-ups are down in the comments thank you all so much for watching and I hope you have a great day until next time [Music]
