What is the Worst/Best power-up and Item in SMBX?

[RudeGuy]

I don't think coins are a power-up.

[ShadowStarX]

Best: Tanooki suit - I like to be statue and the flying.
Worst: Fire flower - Sometimes its useless, like Bowser's castle in Mario Classic

items (not powerups):
Best: Clown card - Fly over the level yay!
Worst: Billy gun/Pwnhammer - Can't shoot through the walls and shoot just one direction

No, the coins aren't a power-up, is an item, the powers are the transformations of the player, and you gave me an interesting idea, how about if we make this topic for the best / worst power-up and items? I think it would be a great idea.

My favorite item is the gun Billy, is fun and can be put on a common level, it is not necessary to alter the design dramatically (as in the case of the Clown Car), I also love the propeller block.

My most hated item, would be the Clown Car, as it is very difficult to include it in decent levels, and has some details that do a great problem.

What is an item? It is an object that can be used in favor of the player or can be recollected, eg Coins, propeller blocks, Billy gun, shoes, etc. (Not applicable to Yoshi).

Dang it.

I probably like the billy gun the most because when it's not on a clown car, you can rapid fire.

My least favorite is the pow block, because it's a one time use thing.

My favorite item is the Piranha Pipe, it can destroy bricks and kill the enemies easily.
My hated item is the Rainbow Shell, you can easily die using it.

I don't think the Rainbow Shell is an item, I think its an enemy?

You can ride it when its upside down, so it is counted as an item.

When looking at the power-ups from the technical side, then the tanuki (or tanooki) is the best, in my opinion.
That is because you have temporarily invincibility, can beat a few enemies the save way (but never use it on enemies that cannot be killed, or yo uget hit for sure, when you turn back, since you cannot control your direction as tanuki statue), and also can be nice for some puzzles (hammer blocks and invisible blocks).

But the worst power-up is the ice flower, in my opinion, because it has the most broken way to function.
It can be used to freeze an enemy, then you can use the iceblock to put it in front of any spawners, that spawn killable NPCs, wait some time, and then "close" the 1-up factory by throwing that lone iceblock, and it rains 1-ups and 2-ups.
The other problem is, that you can use the iceblocks to build bridges/ladders where they aren't intended to be, so you could break the level very easily (most people forget or don't know about that).
You can even perform the crouch-glitch with them, as far as I know, which makes it also too broken.
Redigit should have make the iceblock time-out, so all these flaws wouldn't exist in the first place ^^.

Best Item- Piranha Pipe: It can break any block and kill any enemy in the way, but it cannot break nor kill whatever it's above or below due to limitations.

Worst Item- Clown Car: It's a very huge vehicle and it is very, very hard to get used to in small sections.

Best Power Up- Hammer Suit: In so many ways, it comes in handy in any kind of level. Even though it's overpowered, it can break specific blocks and kills a variety of enemies in a spot.

Worst Power Up- Mushroom: It gets you bigger and makes you capable of breaking brick blocks. That's just it.

Lately I have not been very aware of this topic, excellent argument Sednaiur!, I think what you consider "error" is what I like about the ice flower, also you can get a lot of lives in any generator, the blocks that enable arrive to certain places are very useful too, and can grab the ice blocks and throw another enemy, is great too, practically the Tanooki suit and Hammer Suit are the best, but this is a personal opinion, I hate Hammer suit, it becomes very boring and easy.

Sewpah: I completely forgot the item piranha plant, is very ideal and fun to use, defeat all enemies with a touch (almost all) and is easy to load, is very ideal and also is a reasonable point of view.
