10 Pointless Super Mario Power Up Clones

10. P-Acorn + P-Wing

Ah, the P-Wing; the most overpowered item in Super Mario Bros. 3 (and possibly the entire series). In this classic game, you can transform into Raccoon Mario if you obtain a Super Leaf.

As Raccoon Mario, you can defeat enemies and hit blocks by swishing your tail. If you rapidly tap the jump button, you can glide through the sky.

The best thing about the Super Leaf is it enables you to fly if you build up enough momentum and jump in the air. You can only stay airborne for a few seconds before you automatically descend.

But with the P-Wing, you don't have to build up momentum; you can fly whenever you want. If a level is too difficult, you can literally glide across every obstacle and enemy without getting hit once.

For Super Mario Bros U, Nintendo decided to add a similar item called the P-Acorn. And when I say a "similar item", I mean "virtually the same item as the P-Wing". Although the P-Acorn changes you into Squirrel Mario instead of Raccoon Mario, it's basically a carbon copy of the P-Wing.
