Its in the name really, its not overly op like the cape feather or tanooki leaf.
It could work like it does in smm2

Huh

#

I can't think of a way that makes this broken

#

Doesn't go on forever

#

It's slow

#

Yeah why not

thick mica
#

The is honestly the only powerup left that could probably work tbh

#

The rest are either too op

#

Or aren’t attacking powerups

#

Although then powerups like the cloud flower can be used to counter the propeller mushroom

#

Bee and boo shrooms just wouldnt work

#

double cherry could work actually

#

Acorn suit has no attacking advantage

#

Cape and tanooki are too op

#

Hammer suit might work but ehh

#

Frog suit also has no attacking advantage

#

Superball also seems a bit op

#

Uhh, the sml2 carrot wont work as it basically was the acorn suit before that existed

#

Smm2 hammer is a no aswell

#

Cant think of any more powerups

#

Actually double cherry wont work, lobbys are already cluttered as is

#

Then just add the sml2 carror

#

that’s basically the tanooki leaf without flying

near nova
#

Then you don’t have the tailspin though

thick mica
#

Hm-

#

I mean in the game theres never much space to get a run up

#

If you just completey cancel the p-meter when you jump (when its not full)

#

Then bam tanooki leaf

#

Although i do think boomerang and cloud flowers will work the best in this game now

#

Boomerang to counter the blue shell and cloud to counter propeller

#

Rn the only thing that can counter the blue shell is the blue shell

#

i love this idea

#

what would happen if you dont catch your boomerang

#

also do they collide with objects

thick mica
#

I guess it wouldjust break

#

And I believe they activate ? Blocks and other things but don’t collect coins

#

Love this one!!1!

#

this kinda sounds like it could actually be in the game, hopefully this actually gets considered!

feral jolt
#

boomerang would be fun yeah

#

for once an actually good powerup suggestion the isnt essentially just saying "i want my favorite powerup" or something dumb with zero thought put into it

golden temple
#

maybe the boomerangs could go through walls,
if they only move horizontally.
it could be useful to harass minimushroom players in their hole on Fortress

dusty prawn
#

that would make it really op tho

#

i like the idea of it bouncing off walls but not going through them

#

Booberang flower

#

Anyways boomerang probably would work on all current maps as its more of a range rather then whatever fire flower is

frozen cloak
#

I think boomerang would be great to add, plus boomerang bros already exist in nsmb so there's already some assets for it

also here's a quick sprite I made for fun

#

Boomerang Flower for sure would work well.

#

As for other powerups, maybe the super leaf and hammer suit?

#

By super leaf, I'm referring to the version that transforms Mario into Raccoon Mario.

#

Aaaand, that's pretty much it.

#

Like the original poster said, there aren't that many powerups left that could work.

#

Only other one I can think of is the super bell.

#

But then they left the server 'cuz the atmosphere didn't really do it for 'em.

#

And also they've been busy with real life stuff.

frozen cloak
#

hammer suit would be a good counter to propeller (and mini mushroom camping), though it would probably need a counter of its own like maybe the blue shell, especially if it does damage (I doubt it)

boomerang could make it more difficult for propellers to fly/land. I think if the hammer suit were to be included then the boomerang might be a good option to fight it (could also make sliding blue shells go the other way too?)

that's how I would balance it, at least

frozen cloak
#

Carrot could be a "Life saver once" power up lol

#

like, it gives you luigi jumps, instead of fully fluttering and if you fall in lava,poison or botomless pits, it saves you once but you lose it after that, kinda like a "Rabbit foot"

lethal garnet

#

it won't save you from being crushed tho

#

This is actually a very good idea, it could make some very strategic gameplay, probably even counter campers, i really like it
also i do agree this is probably the only balanced power up left since nearly every other os too op/unbalanced

#

The Boomerang Flower paired with the Tanooki Leaf would actually be very cool, assuming the Tanooki can deflect projectiles.

#

I do think if any powerup had to be added, the Tanooki Leaf is the best choice since it is probably the next and most sensible powerup to have. The Tanooki Leaf already has animations from 2, so you can pretty much port everything from there, give it the ability to reflect stuff and you have a new powerup.

#

The Boomerang Flower animations from 3D World or Mario Maker 2 could be salvaged, but in terms of functionality, that might take some work.

#

You need to create new sprites for the boomerang thrown, so will it be tilted like in Mario Maker 2, or will it be fully shown like in Mario 3?

#

If it isn't tilted, how would it work differently from Mario Maker 2? Will it just work the exact same way? What about balancing? Will throwing a boomerang in a tight space be troublesome?

#

For the Tanooki you don't really have to guess how anything works because it's pretty much already done for you.

glad snow
#

So there is already precedence of it reflecting projectiles.

#

As for the Boomerang Flower, just have the boomerang itself function like how it does in NSMBDS.

#

But maybe it should towards the bottom of the screen if it goes past the original position of the thrower upon returning.

#

it'd be super op in castle and extremely bad in almost any other map

flint cove
#

Wouldn't it be good in pipes?

#

Though yeah I agree it would be a bit too situational

#

Then make it so that superball can only bounce twice before despawning and increase the max ball throw rate to two, it would have its uses in fortress and pipes as well but wouldn't be busted by any means

barren sapphire
#

i think it should be on a timer of five seconds, cause 2 bounces is similar to the ice flower

frozen cloak
#

really great idea tbh

frozen cloak
#

I honestly think cape would be a balance item depending on how long you fly. If you fly for 1 second it could work. And if the spinning thing is like a quick swipe. Like 0.3 seconds it could work! And bee mario could work as Well because flying in that game is usefull

versed breach
#

cape would be the most overpowered shit ever tbh.
After all it's the powerup that destroys SMW level design + the spin is spammable without lag.
The Tanooki would be the better choice as it is less op than the cape.

versed breach
#

(many powerups could work properly balanced, I know but I don't think that nerfing the cape that hard would be liked by people who don't think that much about balancing, that's why I'm against the cape. I could totally see the Tanooki though if flight is disabled (but you can block projectiles))

#

what if you could influence boomerang's arc by using your vertical velocity? like instead of it always going straight you could jump to angle it upwards or then fall to angle it downwards; might make it somewhat useful like in the middle of pipes and add some strategy elsewhere

Why does it take so long fer this thread t' have a new message.

#

The time gaps between these are huge.

lethal isle
#

It takes so long because no one cares for this suggestion aside from the 3 people who doom scroll through suggestions threads and for some reason send a singular 1 word long message because want the idea implemented

(i hope you're not talking about me my message has 39 words lol)

This could work if the boomerang reflects back to the player after getting shot and limits to 1 boomerang at a time
