Super Mario Bros. X Forums

Let's go on about power up combinations! You know like having multiple power ups onto you? You can talk about anything like what is your favorite power up combination, what is the best to break levels with, what is the most balanced one, all kind of stuff relative to power ups. It also goes on mounts like the shoes and yoshis.

My personal favorite of breaking levels the most is having a Tanooki Suit as a primary power up use while the Hammer Suit power up in the reserve box and with black yoshi as a mount.

More in mind but let's get things onto our discussion relative to any kind of power up combinations!

Hammer Mario in a Blue (flying) Shoe along with another backup Hammer Suit

Mine would be hammer suit as my primary power up with a blue shoe and a tanooki suit in the reserve box. ;P

Oh, I thought you meant fake combinations like Leafire Mario or Tanooki Bro. Mario. XD

No fake power up combinations please haha.


Ice as your primary power and Fire in your reserve box can be good for freezing enemies and then you can unfreeze it later on when you want to. Good for specific puzzles in a level.

Fire as Ultimate Rinka inside a Podoboo's Boot.

Best combination thus far!

Two hammer suits and Lakitu's Shoe.

Lamest one yet due to the Podoboo's Boot cutting off Ultimate Rinka's lower-right quadrant, thus causing cutoff.

Mushrooms plus a mushroom in the reserve box.
Because they are the only ones that make you feel good, aren't they?

I actually think I'll make a puzzle level based on that concept now. Thanks for the idea!

I did that in my CC7 level actually.

Most overpowered setup for me is Tanooki Peach, or Tanooki Link, Tanooki Toad, or Double Tanooki Mario with a Purple/Grey Yoshi.

For a only flight combination it can be leaf and tanooki suit with the mounts of blue shoe, blue yoshi and black yoshis.

Fire Mario with Tanooki Suit in reserve box with Purple Yoshi with a blue shell in its mouth. Haha.

Small Mario with Poison Mushroom in reserve box. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Best for some troll actions or in Kaizo hehe...

I guess many people are underestimating the Ice Flower (except for Link). It gives you a powerful tool to kill almost all kind of enemies by throwing ice blocks at them (if available).

Hammer Suits are ALMOST always useful (at least with Mario and Luigi, for the rest it's not so strong). However there's also situations where you must play defensively and where a Super Tanooki can help you the most. Also, Tanooki Leaf for Peach is stupid because she can only spin on the ground properly.

There was a Fire Raccoon Leaf power-up in Mario Builder and it was pretty cool. It was basically a combination of the Fire Flower and the Leaf. I'll go with that combo: Fire Flower and Leaf in the reserve box, because it'll be very easy to clear most of the levels. Fireballs are very useful for bosses and most enemies, while the tail will make use for fire-immune enemies or just to fly over large pits or a horde of enemies. So yeah, I think that's a nice offense and speed combo.

Do not underestimate Tanooki Peach. The Tail let's her hover for slightly longer, as well as decent slightly slower. (No where near as slow as the other characters). It is hard to see the difference, but it adds up. She also gains the extra jump height of I think 20 blocks, give or take. I believe it is more though. As for the spin on the ground, you can still tail whip things in the air with her. Spinjunping into a Peach block, and then if she is already a Tanooki also works, but you would never use that.
