Items & Equipment

Super Mario Bros. 2 features several items that are crucial for survival and progression. Unlike traditional Mario games, there are no 'equipment' slots or crafting systems; instead, items are found and used immediately to gain temporary advantages or reveal secrets. Understanding each item's function and knowing when and where to use them effectively is key to mastering the game. This section will detail all the important items you'll encounter, from health-restoring Mushrooms to powerful Starman invincibility.
