Welcome to my sandbox. If you want to contribute anything here, please feel free to edit it yourself.
Category:Power-ups (cleanup)
This is an informal dissection of Category:Power-ups and its subcategories for a cleanup of these categories, possibly involving a proposal. Subcategories will be listed in parentheses after an article's name, and articles falling under both Category:Power-ups and at least one of its subcategories will have the former in strikeout to indicate that it should be removed due to the subcategories.
Seems fine
- List of power-ups: Not a power-up itself, but a list of power-ups (duh!) entirely from platforming games. It's standard practice to include list articles at the top of categories, and this list had a cleanup itself that serves as the basis in my cleanup's criteria.
- Bee Mushroom (Category:Animal power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups)
- Big Mushroom (Category:Size-changing power-ups)
- Blimp Fruit (Category:Flight power-ups)
- Blue Shell (Category:Animal power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups): Category:Flight power-ups seems to be referring to its role in Super Mario World of letting Yoshis fly while holding in their mouths, but that category should probably be removed per the list article's cleanup removing items that have to be picked up and held.
- Boo Mushroom
- Boomerang Flower (Category:Animal power-ups, Category:Flower power-ups)
- Boost Star
- Bubble Flower (Category:Flower power-ups): If it's not too much of a stretch, maybe this one could be added to Category:Flight power-ups as well since the bubbles can be bounced off of?
- Bulb Berry
- Cape Feather (Category:Flight power-ups)
- Carrot (Category:Animal power-ups): Could probably be added to Category:Flight power-ups as well.
- Cloud Flower (Category:Flower power-ups): Maybe could be added to Category:Flight power-ups as well if that's not too much of a stretch?
- Dash Pepper
- Dragon Pot (Category:Wario power-ups)
- Drill Mushroom
- Dry Bones Shell (Category:Invincibility power-ups)
- Elephant Fruit (Category:Animal power-ups)
- Flutter Wings: Should probably be moved to Category:Flight power-ups, but otherwise seems to fit.
- Fire Flower (Category:Flower power-ups)
- Frog Suit (Category:Animal power-ups)
- Garlic bottle (Category:Wario power-ups): Could probably be added to Category:Size-changing power-ups as well since it turns Tiny Wario into normal Wario, similarly to the effects of a Super Mushroom.
- Giga Bell (Category:Animal power-ups, Category:Size-changing power-ups)
- Golden Flutter Wings (Category:Invincibility power-ups): Could probably be added to Category:Flight power-ups as well.
- Gold Flower (Category:Flower power-ups)
- Goomba's Shoe
- Goomba's Shoe (stiletto)
- Hammer Suit (Category:Animal power-ups)
- Heart Fruit (
Category:Power-ups, Category:Invincibility power-ups) - Hiranya (Category:Invincibility power-ups)

- Master Sword
- Mega Mushroom (Category:Invincibility power-ups, Category:Size-changing power-ups)
- Mega Star (Category:Invincibility power-ups, Category:Size-changing power-ups)
- Metal Cap (
Category:Power-ups, Category:Invincibility power-ups) - Mini Mushroom (Category:Size-changing power-ups)
- Morph bubble
- Mystery Mushroom
- P-Acorn (Category:Animal power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups)
- P-Wing (Category:Animal power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups)
- Pal Pill
- Penguin Suit (Category:Animal power-ups)
- Power Balloon (Category:Flight power-ups)
- Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS) (Category:Flight power-ups, Category:Flower power-ups, Category:Invincibility power-ups)
- Power Up Pot (Category:Wario power-ups): The collective term for the power-ups in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 rather than a power-up itself, but still should be included as per other collective articles in categories.
- Propeller Box (Category:Flight power-ups)
- Propeller Mushroom (Category:Flight power-ups)
- Rainbow Star (Category:Invincibility power-ups)
- Red Star (
Category:Power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups) - Rock Mushroom (
Category:Power-ups, Category:Invincibility power-ups) - SMB2 Mushroom
- Spring Mushroom
- Statue Leaf (Category:Animal power-ups, Category:Invincibility power-ups): Could probably be added to Category:Flight power-ups as well.
- Super Acorn (Category:Animal power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups)
- Superball Flower (Category:Flower power-ups)
- Super Bell (Category:Animal power-ups)
- Super Crown: Should probably be moved to Category:Flight power-ups.

- Tanooki Suit (Category:Animal power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups, Category:Invincibility power-ups)
- Vanish Cap (
Category:Power-ups, Category:Invincibility power-ups) - Viking helmet (Category:Wario power-ups)
- Weird Mushroom
- Wing (Super Mario Bros. Special) (
Category:Power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups) - Wing Cap (
Category:Power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups) - Wings (DK: Jungle Climber) (Category:Flight power-ups)
- Wings (Super Mario 64 DS) (
Category:Power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups) - Wonder Flower (Category:Flower power-ups): Some Wonder Effects from this item simply affect the environment, though others transform the player into a (sometimes) beneficial form. I'd count it as fitting for that, but I wouldn't be opposed to removing it, either.
- Yoshi Star (Category:Invincibility power-ups)
- Yoshi's Wings (
Category:Power-ups, Category:Flight power-ups)
Verdict: Keep, obviously.
Gives the player coins, extra lives, time, etc.
Verdict: Remove. These don't "power up" the user in any way.
Non-video game items
- Bēda Capsule
- Great Mushroom
- Hone
- Hybrid power-up
- Power Pod: A power-up in its source game, Solar Striker, but its sole Super Mario-related appearance is in a manga.
- Reitō Power-up Kinoko
- Super Kōra
- Super Sushi
Verdict:
Affects the environment, not the player
- Binoculars (Yoshi's New Island)
- Slow Flower (Category:Flower power-ups)
- Speed Flower (Category:Flower power-ups)
Verdict:
Mario Party items
- Bitsize Candy
- Bloway Candy

- Bowser Candy
- Bowser Suit: The only item here that isn't a Candy from Mario Party 8.
- Bullet Candy
- Cashzap Candy
- Duelo Candy
- Slowgo Candy
- Springo Candy
- Thrice Candy
- Thwomp Candy
- Twice Candy
- Vampire Candy
- Weeglee Candy
Verdict:
Purchasable upgrade items
- Courage Soda
- Endless Vibe
- Natural Power
- Tough Coffee
- Vibe Tea
- Whiskered Eggplant: The only item here from Mario Superstar Baseball rather than Super Princess Peach.
Verdict:
Exclusively used by antagonistic NPCs
- Megamorph Belt
- Pot of Luxeville: I'd like to note that this edit to the article inspired this cleanup in the first place.
Verdict: Remove. Power-ups are inherently items to be used by the player, not antagonistic NPCs.

- Flower (Super Mario RPG) (Category:Flower power-ups)
- Mix Flower (Category:Flower power-ups)

- Sneaky Parasol
- Super Block
Verdict:
Other
- Block Meal: From the RPG-platformer hybrid Super Paper Mario; unlike the Pal Pill, the Block Meal is not collected in the overworld, but rather is a recipe that must be used from the menu. Remove; this item definitely leans more towards the RPG aspect of Super Paper Mario rather than the platformer one.
- Boomerang
- Frenzy (Mario Kart Tour) (Category:Invincibility power-ups): Not even an item, but rather an effect from having three of the same item in Mario Kart Tour. Remove.

- Mushroom (Category:Size-changing power-ups)
- Poison Mushroom (Category:Size-changing power-ups)
