Putting the blue shell so low feels incredibly undeserved. It should be so much higher imo. Not only is it fun to use, but it gives Mario the ability to defeat almost anything (Not sure which are excluded, but it's definitely more than the fire flower accomplishes considering that you can kill ghosts with this thing). Plus, it gives you extra control and speed when you are underwater, making it useful in almost every level of New Super Mario Bros DS.
The blue shell is my favourite power-up! I loved going into the shell and enemies couldn’t kill me, things like goombas just bump into me and turn around! It was the best :)
Lakitu Clouds don’t give you an extra hit like the Kuribo Shoe. It functions more as a platform. I personally do count Yoshi as a power-up, but by the logic in the video here that he’s a separate character and thus not included.
@@PhantomOfficial07 Blame Nintendo Power for calling it Kuribo Shoe in that giant SMB3 strategy guide. After so many years, you’re just not getting me to change the name of your fictional creatures. Same reason that Podoboo’s jump out of the lava and not lava bubbles.
He forgot the red star in Galaxy. Which fair enough I think most people forgot it exists which is a shame because its my favorite powerup in Galaxy. and could be my favorite flying powerup in general if you used it in more then 1 level and the Hub.
@@pacattack2586 You can also use it in the Observatory after completing that star. But yeah would definitely be lower down just due to its underutilisation
@@Quintingent @Pacattack25 thanks for the clarification! i forgot how little it was actually used, so yeah its exclusion from this list does make sense
And that rumor persists. The US Mario 2 isn't just a Doki Doki Panic reskin. It started as a Mario game that was reskinned into Doki Doki Panic, then reskinned *back* into a Mario game. So it started as a Mario game, NOT Doki Doki Panic. Seriously, it should be common knowledge at this point, but literally EVERY gaming channel perpetuates the 'they just reskinned Doki Doki Panic for Mario 2!' myth.
I agreed with almost all your reasonings, but was shocked by how you then ranked. Definitely could have been titled "I show which power ups I'm most nostalgic for". Fun vid either way
In terms of Classic Power Ups I definitely lean towards the caped Feather and Tanooki suit. Idk I just liked how they both had the power of flight and attacking enemies. Also Mario with a cape looks cool so that’s a plus
Entertaining video, great seeing some Mario games and power ups I've missed out on. Video could do with longer pauses when adding each power up to the chart as I struggled to locate them before the video moved on, perhaps a little animation to see where the power up icon was placed?
Though I understand why tier lists are more popular. They allow you to fit everything in a range rather than have to defend your very specific choices based on every minute detail your viewers/critics will think up.
He uses a Follicle Flower for it actually, and he doesn’t have to shave because it lasts until he takes damage or shoots a certain amount of hair balls.
I like the spring mushroom! I like that it requires more finesse and timing for jumps. And it’s used for one of the best stars in the game, beating Mecha Bowser.
the blue shell and hammer bro power ups are very much underrated and should be included in future titles, ah heck i'll throw in the cape too that one's fun too
Please review the Tak Trilogy! Tak and the Power of Juju Tak 2 the Staff of Dreams and Tak the Great Juju Challenge! Amazing 3D platformers on GameCube masterpiece of a trilogy! Please!
I know you won’t see this Jirard, but thank you. I recently went through a really rough breakup with a woman I swore I knew I’d marry. I somehow found myself binge watching your videos to help get my mind away from it all. You’ve been a big help and it’s helped me recall some great memories from one of the things I had given up for this relationship (video games). Thank you
I would've added cappy and made him #1, but I understand that he's a creature like yoshi. So I'd love to see you rank all of the cappy powers sometime!
I personally consider Yoshi a power-up as well; but understand the argument that as a separate character Yoshi is not. I have a harder time understanding splitting the two.
What about the Power Flower from Mario 64 DS? It gives each character a unique power, most of which are identical to the caps from the original game, except for Yoshi, who is able to breath fire
how the NSMB Wii ice flower didn't land above the standard fire flower considering it also allows you to create blocks to jump off is beyond me but super fun video for sure!!
Yoshi is a power up and it's the best power up. Yoshi gives Mario one extra hit, gives him double jump, can shoot projectiles, spit fire, stomp, fly, swallow enemies from far away, etc.
Blue shell should've been higher, same for Double Cherry, there's something about a wave of 5 Marios throwing fireballs like waves of lava and chaos everywhere that is just too fun for me to handle lmao
Hey Jirad! This video is great. I'm about to watch it for the 3rd time and I haven't played more than half of the games. Your videos are just the best. I'd like more ranking videos for sure
Seeing all the Powerups at once like this... is there a Mario Power Up for every Pokemon type? You got Ghost-type Mario and Bug-type Mario and Rock-type and every normal element... what's missing? Dragon?
I understand your concern with the mini mushroom, but... you know what I see it as? A HARD MODE WITH FUN GIMMICKS! Also you forgot to mention the running on water thing, but thats situational but still cool. Why I love this power up is the same reason I did "Blue shell runs" like bandy tried. But I did MINI MUSHROOM RUNS! Essentially... mini mushroom makes it harder for you to get hit, makes jumps more secure but you die and it's over... but not only that.. YOU CANT DAMAGE ENEMIES! Still bounce on them but not DAMAGE unless you ground pound. Making it another fun addition. And I think thats why I love the mini mushroom.... going through levels in a super hard mode, feeling different and a challange on top but with better control and a smaller hitbox. It doesnt deserve super high.. but not super low either.
A very fun video, that doubles as a check list of Mario games that I've played and games that I haven't (mainly the 3D land quad) so thanks for the reminder! One pretty obvious continuation of this series might be "The Legend of Zelda dungeon weapons/tools ranked" BUT for sanity sake, I personally would make a distintion between the top-down / 2D scroll Zeldas and the 3D Zeldas, because the dungeons tools need to fullfil too different mechanical needs. Nevertheless, I think that is a heck of a list to make! Again great video, loving this new Completionist content! Ps: 10:05 the vanishing cap does not make Mario opaque but translucent because we can almost see him still, so he does not became transparent like glass, even if it makes more sense gameplay wise.
Fun video. Only suggestion is maybe add an arrow or show an animation of them going from the top to being dragged to their placement in the list as where your placing some of the items gets hard to find quickly without pausing in the second half when your just throwing them on the list as opposed to saying what they are better or worse than for visual clarity.
Star : Makes you invincible for a limited time, has a fun music, is at the top of the list Metal cap : Makes you invincible for a limited time, has a fun music, has over utilities, is ranked at the middle of the list
when I played Super Mario 64 at Blockbuster in 1996 blasted out of a canon while wearing a wing cap for the first time, it was the most exhilarating experience I had ever had in a video game up to that point in my life
love the list man, great content as always since its not limited to ten. If you get ideas, i know its alot but all the keyblades from Kingdom Hearts would be so cool to see!
very much hoping that Fusion wins, without Fusion we wouldnt have gotten Dread, which may very well have revived Metroid as a franchise, only time will tell though.
I enjoy the different way you ranked these Jirard. You coulda gone with a standard tier list, or a best to worst list, but you did it in a more interesting way. Right on.
Big bro, excellent job on the content. I'm not a big fan of Mario games but awesome job with the ranking of the items. Keep it up bro & I'll see you in the next one.
While there are a lot fewer water levels, the frog suit makes those levels a lot more bearable. 8:35 Yoshi is mechanically the same as the Kuribo's shoe, except Yoshi is kept after the level.
Hey man, thanks so much for making these videos. You’re one of the most bombastic creators I know, you work super hard. Just be sure to prioritize your mental health! Since NG+ is finally ending, you totally deserve a vacation.
The Hammer Bro suit from SMB3 reminds me fondly of Castlevania and Castlevania-adjacent games, although my first encounter with the power-up was before any others, even the Megaman games. It has me reminiscing fondly of Shovel Knight as well, with the nostalgia bouncing back and forth.
I like that Jirard's cannon version of the first 3 Mario games is the all-stars version. Nothing against The NES but SNES was the console I grew up with
Same. Grew up with the _All-Star_ version. Didn't even play the og NES version till my lil bro found a bootleg _100-games-in-one_ GBA cartridge on the street (which had a Mario reskin of _Final Fantasy 1_ on it. This is unrelated but funny).
Yeah, the winged cap really is next level, but mostly out of nostalgia tbh. Nowadays games where you can fly around are a dime a dozen but back in the N64 era, there was something so magical about the winged cap. Before then you never had that sense of freedom in a game.
Putting the blue shell so low feels incredibly undeserved. It should be so much higher imo.
Not only is it fun to use, but it gives Mario the ability to defeat almost anything (Not sure which are excluded, but it's definitely more than the fire flower accomplishes considering that you can kill ghosts with this thing). Plus, it gives you extra control and speed when you are underwater, making it useful in almost every level of New Super Mario Bros DS.
I think the only enemies that aren’t instakilled by Blue Shell Mode are bosses.
I agree. It's pretty much a better Penguin Suit, which means it should be higher than that item lmao.
I'm really glad to see this comment, I was going to say the same thing
The blue shell is my favourite power-up! I loved going into the shell and enemies couldn’t kill me, things like goombas just bump into me and turn around! It was the best :)
As a kid i used to do entire blue shell runs of the game ur so right
You completely missed the red flight star from galaxy! Thats galaxy's best power up!
Best one, but very underutilized.
I was just about to comment that
Good music though !
Hard to control and situational at best
it's understandable considering how galaxy literally has it in only like two instances
10:06 That's not what opaque means. He becomes more translucent, not opaque. Normal Mario is the opaque one.
he becomes translucent since transparent is see through and opaque is you can’t see through with translucent being in the middle
Came here to the comments hoping I didn't have to be the one to say it. Thank you, sir.
he becomes translucent
I like how much googling you had to do to come up with this.
I also preemptively enjoy your untrue insistence that you did no research on the terms.
@@victoriousf.i.g.3311 who doesn't know the meaning of opaque? it's not like a peripathetician
If you count Kuribo Shoe, you have to count Lakitu Clouds
Also, Yoshi is an upgraded Kuribo Shoe, change my mind
Perhaps Yoshi is wearing Kuribo Shoes?
Lakitu Clouds don’t give you an extra hit like the Kuribo Shoe. It functions more as a platform.
I personally do count Yoshi as a power-up, but by the logic in the video here that he’s a separate character and thus not included.
Why are we calling the Goombas by their Japanese names? It's a Goomba's Shoe in English, Kuribo is the Japanese name
@@PhantomOfficial07 Blame Nintendo Power for calling it Kuribo Shoe in that giant SMB3 strategy guide.
After so many years, you’re just not getting me to change the name of your fictional creatures. Same reason that Podoboo’s jump out of the lava and not lava bubbles.
Yoshi is a friend, not a powerup.
He forgot the red star in Galaxy. Which fair enough I think most people forgot it exists which is a shame because its my favorite powerup in Galaxy. and could be my favorite flying powerup in general if you used it in more then 1 level and the Hub.
did the red star from galaxy not match the criteria somehow? sure it's super situational but it does give mario a neat outfit and flight
You can't actually use it in game (I think) other than 1 star, and at that a bonus star, so it'd probably go with the other 1 off items
@@pacattack2586 You can also use it in the Observatory after completing that star. But yeah would definitely be lower down just due to its underutilisation
@@Quintingent @Pacattack25 thanks for the clarification! i forgot how little it was actually used, so yeah its exclusion from this list does make sense
@@jaxpool155 But he also included the shoe from SMB3, which as he said was only in 1 level. So I think the Red Star should’ve definitely made the cut.

Hi Nathaniel
A ranking for Link's items or Samus' power ups could be cool.
I agreed with almost all your reasonings, but was shocked by how you then ranked. Definitely could have been titled "I show which power ups I'm most nostalgic for". Fun vid either way
In terms of Classic Power Ups I definitely lean towards the caped Feather and Tanooki suit. Idk I just liked how they both had the power of flight and attacking enemies. Also Mario with a cape looks cool so that’s a plus

Yeah, I liked the video, but the editing left a lot to be desired. The SMW footage with the blown out brightness was also hard to look at lmao
Can we all appreciate that this is a rank list and not a tier list? Thanks for keeping it real, Jirard!
No for real though. A ranking list feels fresh compared to all the tier lists that are done nowadays. Loved the video!
Though I understand why tier lists are more popular. They allow you to fit everything in a range rather than have to defend your very specific choices based on every minute detail your viewers/critics will think up.
You're hating on tier lists because they're popular? It's a really convenient way to rank things and they're far more visually appealing
I hate this format, it is not easily understandable where it starts and where it ends, by the way my favourite ranking method is worst to best
@@KbanjoK No they're not
I was wondering where’s Odyssey but then I realized Jirard would probably consider Cappy a character like Yoshi.
They're still both power-ups though so it is a bit weird.
Red Star in Galaxy
"Am I a joke to you?"
Yes
Rank the Mario Maker items and the Mario Kart items
Gotta be honest, regrowing the beard every time he does the intro takes dedication. Kudos to you for going the extra mile.
He uses a Follicle Flower for it actually, and he doesn’t have to shave because it lasts until he takes damage or shoots a certain amount of hair balls.
I like the spring mushroom! I like that it requires more finesse and timing for jumps. And it’s used for one of the best stars in the game, beating Mecha Bowser.

Figuring out that I could turn into stone with the full Tanuki suit as a kid blew my mind. Helped with those pesky lava balls in Bowser's castle
I'm pretty sure the Tanuki statue is the only way to kill those, so yeah, definitely good to bring into those areas.
Wish I had figured that out, haha! I remember turning to stone, wondering what the heck for, and then moving on. XD
I would've added cappy and made him #1, but I understand that he's a creature like yoshi. So I'd love to see you rank all of the cappy powers sometime!
I remember when, before SMG2 came out, people thought the Cloud Flower would be broken
To me, the Goomba Shoe isn't necessarily a power-up, nor merely an "item". It's a vehicle. Kinda like how Yoshi is a mount, and not an item/powerup.
I personally consider Yoshi a power-up as well; but understand the argument that as a separate character Yoshi is not.
I have a harder time understanding splitting the two.
I actually really like the mini mushroom, running and jumping with it is really fun and I like fighting the two bosses with it
Ok the Booish and HeBoo joke deserves WAY more praise. Mazel tov habibi
I disapprove of rarity being a consideration for the ranking, it makes cool power-ups end up as last in the listing.
You forgot the greatest "power-up" of them all: The Warp Whistle. An item so powerful that it allows Mario & Luigi to _skip entire worlds._
What about the Power Flower from Mario 64 DS? It gives each character a unique power, most of which are identical to the caps from the original game, except for Yoshi, who is able to breath fire
I’d be interested in hearing your ranking of Mario Kart items.
how the NSMB Wii ice flower didn't land above the standard fire flower considering it also allows you to create blocks to jump off is beyond me but super fun video for sure!!
Though I disagree with a few of the rankings, this video was a lot of fun and I can appreciate the logic throughout.
Would have been nice to highlight the additions on the scoreboard so that it's easier to spot them
Yoshi is a power up and it's the best power up. Yoshi gives Mario one extra hit, gives him double jump, can shoot projectiles, spit fire, stomp, fly, swallow enemies from far away, etc.
I guess you can consider that Cappy is a power up too.
Blue shell should've been higher, same for Double Cherry, there's something about a wave of 5 Marios throwing fireballs like waves of lava and chaos everywhere that is just too fun for me to handle lmao
The mushroom is the most iconic power in the Mario series and is arguably the most useful and the most useless depending on the situation.
Complete Metroid Fusion. It's worth it.
Oooo can we get a keyblade ranking. To make it manageable you can do only Sora Keyblades. Choose your criteria either power in context or aesthetics.
The “booish” joke was extremely funny, for the record
Fun fact you can get the P-Wing in Super Mario 3D Land. It warps Mario straight to the end of a level.
Some other people already said it, but you forgot the Flight power-up from Galaxy.
If you included Smb2s stopwatch, DKs super hammer, mario makers weird mushroom, super hammer, pow and bullet bill masks, where would they rank?
Hey Jirad! This video is great. I'm about to watch it for the 3rd time and I haven't played more than half of the games. Your videos are just the best. I'd like more ranking videos for sure

You forgot the red star from Mario Galaxy
I understand your concern with the mini mushroom, but... you know what I see it as? A HARD MODE WITH FUN GIMMICKS!

Hopefully Fusion wins the vote! Now to enjoy the video!!
Just what I needed on this Sunday!😃

I hope you will do this with Yoshi's power ups. A few were referenced here. It would be nice to see how you would rank his ones.
Wait! was there something else you were going to say at the end?? hey! don't go, hey!
The concept of a dynamic ranking while going through the games in chronological order was great!
I do remember that time Luigi weared peach dress in mario & Luigi super starsage
Maybe a _EVERY Zelda item ranked!!_ video for the next one?
That'd be pretty cool.
That would be a long video
He forgot the Mario Galaxy End Game Star that makes you fly
It''s great to see Mario games and powerups and I love this video and thank you for uploading it The Completionist
You forgot the Red Star for Galaxy, Jirard.

Jirard , you forgot the Red Starman power up in Galaxy 1
Youre the best Jerard. Keep on being true to yourself and succeed to the stars.
What about the Red Star (Mario Galaxy 1)?
Missed the red star from smg1 btw its only in like one level and the home world. Great video though
While there are a lot fewer water levels, the frog suit makes those levels a lot more bearable.
8:35 Yoshi is mechanically the same as the Kuribo's shoe, except Yoshi is kept after the level.
Not "Opaque". It's "Translucent". Vanish Cap makes you translucent.
Did you forget the red star from Galaxy?
Hey man, thanks so much for making these videos. You’re one of the most bombastic creators I know, you work super hard. Just be sure to prioritize your mental health! Since NG+ is finally ending, you totally deserve a vacation.

We all know Arin’s favorite is “the caaaaaat suit”
10:06 - Opaque means "not able to be seen through; not transparent."
I like that Jirard's cannon version of the first 3 Mario games is the all-stars version. Nothing against The NES but SNES was the console I grew up with
I can't get over the awkward brick breaking physics in the All Stars version of the first. I prefer NES for SMB and All Stars for 2 and 3.
Same. Grew up with the _All-Star_ version.
Didn't even play the og NES version till my lil bro found a bootleg _100-games-in-one_ GBA cartridge on the street (which had a Mario reskin of _Final Fantasy 1_ on it. This is unrelated but funny).
Splendidly done, sir!!! Are you going to complete Stray? It's EXCELLENT.
18:00 What? Naaaaw. I NEVER would have guessed you care about full completion! From, for instance, the name of your UA-cam channel!
