Super Mario Bros. Crossover/Pickups

Items that improve your character can be found in Item Boxes . To acquire a power-up from an Item Box, attack the box or jump into it from beneath. Some item boxes are hidden; they will be invisible or will appear as normal bricks . For some power-ups, the effects will vary depending on the character you are playing as.

Collecting 200 of the items on this page (all items total) will unlock the "Infinite Ammo" cheat.

Pickups everybody can use

Every character can use these pickups.

	Mushroom	In general, the Mushroom will give your character one extra hit and the ability to get other pickups. With the exception of Ryu and Bill, the Mushroom will also make characters undergo other changes which are listed below. Note that Bill cannot use this (while he is always able to get his pickups). Makes Mario and Luigi bigger, allowing them to break bricks by jumping into them from beneath. Gives Link the White Sword, increasing his attack power. Gives Samus the Long Beam, increasing her attack range. Gives Simon the Chain Whip. Gives Mega Man the ability to charge his Mega Buster. Gives SOPHIA the Hyper upgrade. Bass can have four bullets onscreen instead of three.
	Fire Flower	If you get hit with some pickups and a Mushroom, this will restore what you had. Fire Flowers only appear if you have a Mushroom (or better) when the block is hit.
	Starman	Gives your character invincibility for a short time. Your character will flash rapidly in different colors. This not only prevents them from taking damage, but kills enemies upon contact. Lasts approximately 13 seconds. While powered-up with a Starman, everyone has unlimited ammo and SOPHIA has unlimited hover.
	1-Up	This is a rare power-up that gives the player an additional life. Most commonly found in invisible boxes. In Survival mode, it gives you another revival/power-up.
	Coins	Coins are scattered across most levels, and can be found just lying around or inside bricks and boxes. Collecting 100 coins gives the player a 1-Up.
