Items & Equipment

In Super Mario Bros., 'equipment' primarily refers to the various power-up items Mario can collect. Unlike RPGs, there's no inventory or crafting system; items are used immediately upon collection and grant temporary or permanent (until hit) enhancements. Understanding each item's effect and how to best utilize it is fundamental to mastering the game. This section will detail all the collectible items, their benefits, and strategic considerations for when and how to acquire them.
