Worst Mario Items

Some items are good, some are great. Some you extremely hate. Here is the 10 worst items featured in Super Mario.
The Top Ten
1 Poison Shroom

I bet the creator of this list only put most good items in the top 10 in the first place just so we could give him more votes...

This is a troll powerup. It looks almost identical to the regular mushroom and has the opposite effect of the regular mushroom.

There. It's finally at the top of this list. Happy now? Thank remixing for making this possible.

Why the heck is this even an option in the game? I mean, really? I hate these pesks and I don't understand why they exist.

2 Fake Item Box

This item is practically useless! Although it's a bit better than the Banana item, this item alone along with the fact that it can no longer block incoming shells makes this item complete and utter crap! And running into the Fake Item Box you implanted is just as abysmal as well!

Basically you get nothing.

I always hit these

3 Banana

Very low quality item here. Bananas are an abomination to Mariokart

This is just annoying

Incredibly useless

Wait I see a sex joke.

4 Mini Mushroom

Although it's good for going into tiny pipes and finding secret places, this is my least favorite mushroom! One hit and you're dead! And it's hard to fall back down when you go so high in the air after jumping on an enemy!

So basically, you become tiny and can find areas. Cool, right? No. You're basically just one-shot Mario but smaller.

It may make you die in one hit but it is a blessing in disguise in levels with large amounts of Bullet Bills.

Garbage my cousin said it was good but it sucks

5 Spring Suit

Well, then do not use it if it's at optional sections. Also, what worsened the otherwise perfect Super Mario Galaxy games is (take a drink and/or guess) anti-feminism/the fact that Princess Peach got defenselessly kidnapped. Yet Princess Peach is badass and confident at times. *facepalm*

To those who played super Mario Galaxy, you know what I mean. It's so hard to control! I don't know who thought it was a good idea to put this in an already complicated game.

I never had a problem with any of the powerups for Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, but the Spring Suit is just the worst. It isn't even a powerup, it's Mario just stuck in a spring. The worst thing is the god awful controls.

Hard to control, kinda sad cause in some parts you NEED it.

6 Blue Shell The spiny shell, commonly referred to as the blue shell, is a well-known power-up item of the Mario Kart series of video games.

This item makes bad things happen, ranging from losing a race to smashing a controller or game console.

A weapon too powerful for mortals know. Otherwise, you can have a divorce this way as well.

Crumbling relationships one at a time.

7 Penguin Suit

You can slide, which is fun, and you can throw ice, but it's not an item that I treasure all that much because besides throwing ice, all you do is slide...but this list gets WAY more positive after this.

This is the ice flower and more, you throw ice balls + sliding on ice + sliding on water + better swimming + it looks adorable on mario.

I don't really like this power-up. Might as well go for an Ice Flower, then.

Sorry guys but you're 100% wrong penguin is killa if you no how to use it.

8 P Balloon

The penguin actually has a use. You can THROW ICE, and SLIDE FARTHER. However, the p-balloon lets you fly... VERY SLOWLY. Also, it has a time limit, making it practically USELESS. Also, if you are hit (even once), you fall right back to what you were avoiding in the first place (and potentially lose an actually good powerup)... the ground. Another problem with it being slow is all the time on the clock you waste with it... and there is no sprint mode/other way to make it fast. So, the bottom line... This powerup is ANNOYING, USELESS, SLOW, and DANGEROUS.

While this powerup can be useful at times, the main reason why I am not a big fan of this powerup is because of the results that turn up if you happen to search it up. If you plan on searching it up, prepare to be greeted by mountains upon mountains of inflation art.

The item is sometimes good, but becomes irritating in the Tubular level. Also, if you search up "P-Balloon" on Google, you get millions of gross and fetish artwork instead of the actual P-Balloon power up...

What this could of killed Mario franchise. Huge Mario collector here, I have every game there's been except for company test discs and super limited versions. Very annoying?

9 Kuribo's Shoe

It's alright, but all it can help you with are stepping enemies and avoiding spiky objects. But what I really dislike about it is how it's hops all the time, and makes it hard to control.

Can't hate too much; it was meant as prototype for Yoshi.

I like this, but it only lasts for one round ;-;

I like this item.

10 Mushroom

Hey, this is the best Mario item you can get! Before you get the ice flower, fire flower, or whatever you want, you need the mushroom first (excluding mini mushroom)! This item is the start of your journey that you are going to remember all the way until your final battle with Bowser. When you are fighting a boss, do you go in with some other power up, instead of being tiny, such as the fire flower? Well, the reason you have that fire flower is because of the mushroom. Once you slam Mario's head onto that brick and it pops the mushroom out, you grab it. Then, you slam his head on another brick, and you get your first power up. For a "MarioMaster", you should know that this item is the most essential item in the entire game of Mario.

While this item is important for collecting essential items, it can be a pain in games like New Super Mario Bros Wii, namely getting it when you already have it or another item, or missing the chance of getting the item needed to get a star coin. Also, it is annoying in games like Super Mario Bros 3 where it will run from you during very crucial moments, you can get the same effect from the other items. It can also block only one hit.

You really motivated me... The day I made this, I wasn't thinking right. I forgot about Blue Shells in Mario Kart and I forgot that you can't get these other great items without the Mushroom, so without further ado, I hereby announce the Mushroom isn't so bad after all...

For a Mario Master, it sure seems like he hasn't done his research on what really are the worst items in the Mario franchise.

The Contenders
11 Mystery Mushroom

Who moron put this here?

12 Cat Bell

Love this power up! You can climb walls, dive, climb up a flagpole, take an extra hit, and look cute but be menacing just like a real cat.

Aww...a cat...but don't get near it! This ability has four techniques: scratch, scrape, climp, and jump scratch! It's a cute ability that is packed with many techniques!

13 Blooper Bloopers (Often Referred To Bloobers Until Paper Mario, Though Blooper was in use beforehand) are Squid-Like creatures that are found in the ocean. They made their first appearance in Super Mario Bros., and various kinds of them have appeared in the Mario games since, normally as enemies. Mario Party 8 was the first game to feature blooper as a playable character. Bloopers come in different sizes and colors, though the original variety shown in super Mario Bros is white.

It barely does anything to the player affected by it. You can clearly see through the ink and still drive without distraction.

At least the blue shell has a reason to exist, all this does is put a black PNG over your screen

Here's the improved version of blooper: Turn your screen off, now you can't see -_-

14 Boo Mushroom

I found this thing too be very annoying and useless... It's a shame that you need this for certain levels in Mario Galaxy.

It's not that bad...

15 Ice Flower

Well, the ability to pick up and slide frozen enemies is totally useless. You cannot do ANYTHING with that (I really hope you see my sarcasm).

This should not be on this list... and here are some reasons:
1. Freezing things in water makes platforms: You cannot do this with a fire flower, so there is no way this is a fire flower clone.
2. Toss enemies you have hit: You can kill hundreds of enemies with only one ice ball... that is how you do it.
3. Troll your friends: Hit 'em with a frozen enemy, then speed run the course... good luck catching up, buddy.
4. Help your friends: Just like you can use these as a platform, you can use these to give your friend a boost upward. This is VERY useful. Also, if you throw one while your friend is on top of it, he is on for one wild ride.
5. Kill those pufferfish (or urchins, or whatever they are). Those pufferfish/ urchin things are not killable with fire. You can freeze them. If they hit the ceiling when they are frozen, ...more

It's just a rip-off of the fire flower, just giving you the ability to throw ice blue pixels out of your hand instead of red-orange. Once you throw it, the character freezes which is somewhat useful. But I really don't care for this item.

I like the Ice Flower. It's great for freezing enemies that are immune to fire balls such as Dry Bones and it's fun freezing enemies to lift them up and throw them at other enemies.

@MarioMaster63
If you were actually a "Mario master" you'd know that it couldn't be a rip off CONSIDERING THAT ITS MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY

16 Lightning Cloud

It's basically a Mario Kart item that can backfire on you if you don't pass it to someone else.

This idem is terrible if you get it and don't pass it on then YOU get zapped by lightning!

Yes this item is very stupied

HOW IN THIS NOT NUMBER TWO?

17 Spiny Shell

The item that annihilated friendships with one use.

Why isn't this higher?

18 Gold Flower

Its stupid all it does is turn things to coins.

Gold flower do that one

19 Bowser Card
20 Super Star

I'm invincible! If you get enough enemies defeated with the super star, you can gain 1-ups and that 1-up song with only 5 notes is adorable!

You can run everywhere and knocking everyone down

It's useless the super mushroom is more useful

21 Tanooki Tail

Oh my goodness, Mario! It's so cute. You can fly from high objects, you can fly upwards as you run! You can swipe your little tail to teach those Goombas a lesson, and crouch and spin to go SUPER SAIYAN! Best ability ever!

How to make Mario a furry.

Why is this here?

22 Super Leaf

This item mostly useless on mario kart 7

23 Propeller Suit

Whee! I can fly up in the air and shoot down! This ability can cause avoiding enemies, getting star coins easily, and that rumble in your Wii Remote is a small effect that makes you very happy!

It makes the super acorn, Cape feather, and tanooki leaf look like nothing!

This item saved me several times

24 Frog Suit
25 Spring Mushroom

Spring shroom is one of the most useless items
