Ideas for Mario power ups

[The 3rd Wario Brother]

Your ideas?


My idea is that if my hits a block a dark mushroom with a chain on it will appear and when Mario collects it his cloths are dark and for 10 seconds or until he gets hit Mario can throw Chompers that will run over his enemies and are even capable of destroying blocks and pipes, unless you can go down the pipes then the chomper will turn around, same if it hits a wall.

I have some ideas for power ups.

• Bob-omb Mario (Obtained by a grabbing a pink bob-omb)

Basically this allows him to throw bob-ombs and similar to Mario Kart, if a bob omb touches a enemy or a wall or whatever, it'll blow up immediately, but if it just lays on the floorm
It'll sit there for a few seconds before finally exploding, destroying those around it, but there's a couple of catches, one, Mario himself can get damaged by the bob-omb as well if it touches him, and two, you can only throw one at a time, so you can't just throw them diddly daddly, there's a good bit of strategy involved on how and where you throw it so it can be the most effective, (This is actually similar to how Bomb works in Kirby.)

• Phantom Mario (Obtained by getting a shadowly looking flower.)

Allows Mario to turn invisible at any time for a few seconds, allowing him to bypass most hazards without getting hurt, (Some hazards can still hurt him though like Spikes.) perfect for stealth like sections.

• Ninja Mario (Obtained by getting a Shuriken)

Allows him to wall jump quicker then usual and also lets him throw Shurikens at enemies.

I had quite a bit, from when I was little, written down in a notebook somewhere. I had this one idea to incorporate that cloud flower from Mario Galaxy 2 into a 2D platformer some way, without making it broken.
If I do find that notebook, I'll be sure to post some of them here.

While not really a power up, I think power up fusion would be an interesting concept to see.

 

[Koopaul]

Much like how there is a Hammer Bro and Boomerang Bro item, here is a power up based on a Mario enemy.

Magic Wand: This item will sometimes be dropped by a Magikoopa. When dropped it will hop around like it does in SMB3 after beating a Koopaling.
When Mario grabs it he turns into Magic Mario. Magic Mario wears a hat and robe that looks like a Magikoopa's but red.
Magic Mario can shoot a spell forward that can change brick blocks into coins or reveal an item hidden in a brick block. If the spell hits a ? Block it will reveal what's in it and upgrade the contents inside.
-Single Coin becomes 10 Coin Block
-10 Coin Block becomes 1UP Mushroom
-1UP Mushroom becomes 3UP Moon
And so on.

When the spell hits a tough enemy they will transform into a weaker enemy. Weaker enemies will turn into coins.
-Sledge Bros become Hammer Bros.
-Hammer Bros become Koopa Troopas.
And so on.

When fighting a boss it has the same effect as a fireball but shoots straight. Mario can only shoot two spells at a time until they hit something or go off screen.

Where the heck is my Thunder Flower?

 

[Koopaul]

Unless you can think of a fun gameplay mechanic for it, I don't see why it is needed except to complete the elemental trio.

Right now I can't think of anything a Thunder Flower could do that other Mario power ups haven't already done.

Perhaps a thunder flower is like fire or ice flowers but like how fire can melt ice blocks in NSMB series the thunder balls can break something. Or when it hits an enemy they get electricuted and for a few seconds they stand there electrocuted before dying and if you or an enemy touches the electric enemy they take damage.

 

[BooDestroyer]

But that's still not adding anything different to it from the other two. I can see it being used for puzzles in a 3D Mario, but...

That said, I too support the idea of a Magikoopa wand attack for Mario. And how do you think the wand could be used in Mario Kart?

 

[ThAshleyChannel]

The only power-up idea I ever had was an angry looking Red and orange Mushroom that turned Mario, or anybody who takes it magical. Like being able to float in the air and attack, shooting out fire blasts, etc.

> It also turned you into Ashley, but I'll scrap that idea >.> lol

 

[Just a Wario Fan]

Some weird transparent star that allows Mario to walk trough barriers for a short time, but he dies if he is still in the wall and the star stops working.

 

[BooDestroyer]

That sounds somewhat familiar...

 

[Koopaul]

Perhaps a thunder flower is like fire or ice flowers but like how fire can melt ice blocks in NSMB series the thunder balls can break something. Or when it hits an enemy they get electricuted and for a few seconds they stand there electrocuted before dying and if you or an enemy touches the electric enemy they take damage.

Perhaps it's a projectile that travels on the floor and up walls like Pikachu's attack in Smash Bros? Maybe it can travel through multiple enemies like a kicked shell too. This attack can kill Buzzy Beetles and Spike Tops but Dry Bones, Boos and Thwomps are immune.

shart flower, it grants Mario the ability to make enemies gain unstoppable diarrhea that pins them into submission then death.

• The magic cape on a 3d Mario game.
• The Wario suit
• Better yet, make Mario borrow powerups from Wario Land specially the ones where he gets hurt.
