I wrote a simple Cloud Flower API, you can customize how much clouds will be fired before you'll become Small Mario again. It maybe isn't the best, but I hope it will be useful. It also comes with needed graphics.
Update 1.1:
-Mario doesn't get hurt now, you just can't shoot more clouds.
-Added cloud shooting sfx.
-Clouds disappear after a while.
-After collecting Cloud Flower while being in Cloud Mario form your clouds replenish.
Update 1.2:
-Hitbox of clouds is now fixed (thanks to FanofSMBX).
Don't the clouds disappear after a certain amount of time in SMG? Also, it might be a good idea to add a poof-like sound instead of the fireball sound. Looks okay though so far. It's at least a good start
In the original game, Mario doesn't power down when all his clouds are gone. He just can't shoot any anymore. Maybe impliment that? It's kinda awkward having him power down after shooting the third cloud, and I can imagine that being extremely exploitable in terms of invincibility frame abuse.

I don't think they hurt the player. I made that mistake originally of thinking that too, but the player just powers down after they launch a third cloud

Your code could be cleaned up a bit. I played around with it myself to see how it works, but I'm not sure what's going on in your code and it's good practice to insert comments to show what each part of your code does. Using the tab button to indent lines will also make it easier to read.
