There's something that I've noticed recently: Nintendo can't seem to come up with a New Power-Up in a 2D Mario game, that doesn't have anything to do with flight.
I mean, you have the Super Leaf, Cape Feather, Propeller Mushroom, Super Acorn, and Bunny Ears... What do these all have in common? Well, that would be flight.

Then you have the Frog, and Penguin suit, sure the second one has a few new functions, but it's generally the same...

The first New Super Mario Bros game, has been the only one so far to avoid this trend.

I mean, it's weird. Why do they need all of these power-up with the same basic functions?
Super Mario Galaxy had better verity, and yet, the only one they really kept using was the Ice Flower...

They're uninspired these days.

During a time, you could fight Wart or other fun villains, or play as Peach and rescue Mario. Nowadays everything revolves around saving Peach from Bowser.

I guess they kinda did with the skinny mushroom right? But that started as a glitch.

I'd like to see power-ups the way Kirby did it.

Anyhow, you're forgetting the entirety of Super Mario Land and Super Mario 3D World, where I liked their new power-ups, particularly the Boomerang, the Cat, and the Double Cherry.

I know, but this is more about the 2D Mario games, you would never see any of those in a 2D Mario game, which is why I bought up Galaxy in the first post, and the only thing they took from that was the Ice Flower. We're basically just waiting to see what the next Super Leaf/Propeller Mushroom clone will be on the Switch, and that's if the Switch even gets a NSMB game, which is highly likely.

Oh , how about the carrot power up from the SMB land series? Or those purple mushrooms from Lost Levels?

The carrot and the bunny ears are the same thing AFAIK. And aren't those purple mushrooms poison mushroom or whatever?
