Power-ups and collectibles

Coin

Collect 100 regular coins to earn an extra life.

1-Up Mushroom

Adds an extra life.

Super Mushroom

Transforms a small hero into Super Mario or Super Luigi, allowing one additional hit and the ability to break bricks.

Fire Flower

Grants the Fire form and throwable fireballs. Some enemies resist fire, so keep jumping and positioning in your toolkit.

Starman

Temporary invincibility against most enemies. Falling into a pit remains dangerous.

Mega Mushroom

Temporarily turns the hero into a giant who can smash through enemies and scenery. Destruction fills a meter that awards extra lives when the effect ends.

Mini Mushroom

Shrinks the hero for tiny pipes, light jumps and running across water. Use a ground pound to damage enemies that a normal mini jump cannot defeat.

Blue Shell

Grants a protective shell and a shell dash after building up running speed. It is useful for breaking bricks in narrow passages.

? Block

Hit from below to reveal its contents; the reward depends on the block and your current form.

Brick

Break from below in a larger form, or use a ground pound where the route allows it.

Warp Pipe

A familiar route into underground rooms and other areas. Small pipes require the Mini form.

Star Coin

Three large Star Coins are hidden in each of the 80 courses. Spend them to open marked routes and work toward full completion.
