Returning are the three common power-ups, the [[Super Mushroom]], [[Super Star]] and [[Fire Flower]]. Three new power-ups were added in the game. The first was the [[Mega Mushroom]] that enlarged Mario to gargantuan size and allowed him to mow over any obstacle for a limited amount of time. The [[Mini Mushroom]] shrinks Mario to miniature size and allows him to enter small areas and race over water. The last power-up is the Koopa Shell which Mario can ride in and pick up speed to mow over enemies like a Koopa Shell does in previous Mario games. | Returning are the three common power-ups, the [[Super Mushroom]], [[Super Star]] and [[Fire Flower]].
