Best powerup in any game?
16 years ago
General
I was talking to a group of devilishly handsome people earlier, and I mentioned a question I'd been thinking of idly~!
What do you think is the best powerup in any game, excluding any powerup who's sole purpose is to provide invincibility? Like, no starman, hyper candy, invulnerability shields, etc. In this instance, invincibility (or temporary invincibility) can be a side effect, providing it's not the primary effect and reason to use it (such as hyper mode from Metroid Prime III.) It can be something temporary or something permanent, such as an item or ability you acquire permanently (such as one of Link's items.)
Any platform, any type of game. :3
Gogo!

Then again, Bullet Bill is pretty unstoppable. But not as life-ruining. So I agree with Blue Shell.
Hammer Zone!
It was fun :c
Yoshi had to be pretty tongue-talented for that to work the way he uses it~
In the whole history of Mario :x
The Red Minotaur soul from Aria of Sorrow.
Also, Boo on you because before I clicked this, Starman was the first thing that came to mind.
Also everytime you use it a picture of Randy Savage is displayed on the screen. What's not to love?
Possibly the most random powerup ever! x3
anyway, i loved the Bat from SSB series >:D me + bat = instant death for you.
or, the Lighting from Mario Kart 64!
Super Metroid Hyper Beam: Nothing like fighting a boss that doesn't seem to be beatable, then being given a weapon that totally annihilates it AND goes through foes like holes in swiss cheese.
Sonic 3 and Knuckles: Hyper Sonic, Hyper Knuckles, Super Tails: After doing 14 of those "collect the blue sphere" bonus levels, you earn one of the COOLEST thing to go back through a game with; Invincibility with a bonus attack!
Hyper sonic's Homing screen flash.
Hyper Knuckles Gliding screen quake.
And Super tails invincible foe seeking birdies!
Those...
No seriously, anyone here gone past stage 6 WITHOUT it? Or the Triple one, for instance?
Hyper Sonic/Knuckles/Tails from Sonic 3.
Celestial Brush from Okami (can't believe no one has said that yet.) Also, the string of beads for the second playthrough.
the Costly Punch materia in FFVII Crisis Core. Defeating Sephiroth in two hits=priceless.
Pac Man's power pellets :P
