? Boxes and fire flowers.

I'm trying to make a level and am having a bizarre issue. Whenever I make a ? block and put a fire flower into it - when I break it, it creates a mushroom, why is this - I also found this to be the case with the leaf, but not goombas or Yoshi. What's going on?

Are you small Mario when hitting the ? block? If so, that's not a bug or issue, but an intended feature.

That happens because the player is small. With the exception of the Tanooki Suit, the actual power-ups will only come out when being big Mario; otherwise, they'll be changed for a mushroom.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

I think the hammer suit also won't change into a mushroom when you're small.

Yes, the Hammer Suit too won't be swapped for a mushroom.

The reason why this is the case for making specific stronger power-ups not change to a mushroom is for the fact that SMB3 did it aswell when you hit a giant ? block like even if you're small you get said power-ups. The rest is usually knowledgeable as of why you can't get a stronger power-up immediadly since because they're far more common spreaded out throughout the game. You can however make it force to spawn a fire flower, ice flower or leaf with layers and events if you want to do that.

When I'm big it still creates a mushroom but stores it in my box.

That's an intended feature, because that's how powerups worked in Super Mario World. Whenever you get a more powerful powerup when you're in mushroom form, the mushroom always goes into the reserve box and you get the new powerup.

I've fixed it, although what I was saying is that it was impossible at the time to get the fire flower

Because you're small mario while hitting the block
if you're not small mario, then this is a problem...
