If you hit a ? Block as Super Mario, one of these might pop out. Grab it to get yourself the power to shoot fireballs.

Returning from Super Mario Galaxy is the Ice Flower. It gives you the ability to shoot balls of ice at your opponents, much like a fireball. But instead, the enemy will freeze solid and be at your mercy. Not all enemies can be frozen, though. | [[File:NSMBW Ice Flower.png|right|100px]]Returning from Super Mario Galaxy is the Ice Flower. It gives you the ability to shoot balls of ice at your opponents, much like a fireball. But instead, the enemy will freeze solid and be at your mercy. Once frozen, the block of ice can usually be picked up (by holding {{Wii|1}} and {{control|{{wii|horizontal|shake}}|{{wii|shake|remote}}}}) and then thrown (by releasing {{Wii|1}}) to make it slide along the ground and even into other enemies. Not all enemies can be frozen, though, but you'll find ice balls to be of particular use against normally-fireproof enemies like Dry Bones and Buzzy Beetle. | ||

===Propeller Mushroom=== | ===Propeller Mushroom=== | ||
Getting one of these flying mushrooms will give Mario a Propeller Cap. If you Spin Jump while wearing one of these ({{control|{{wii|horizontal|shake}}|{{wii|shake|remote}}}}), you will shoot up into the sky, higher than usual. You will also return to the ground quite slower than usual. Press {{control|{{wii|Down|Dpad}}|{{wii|down|nunchuk}}}} to make Mario drill straight down - a handy attack to take out enemies or break through blocks. | [[File:NSMBW Propeller Mushroom.png|right|100px]]Getting one of these flying mushrooms will give Mario a Propeller Cap.

===Mini Mushroom=== | ===Mini Mushroom=== | ||
These tiny blue mushrooms make Mario shrink to mini size. As Mini Mario, he can run on water and float through the air with ease. He can also enter tiny pipes and normal pipes that are half-blocked. Because of his reduced size, he can't squish enemies by just jumping on them; he must Ground Pound to have any effect.

He can also enter tiny pipes and normal pipes that are half-blocked. Because of his reduced size, he can't squish enemies by just jumping on them; he must Ground Pound to have any effect. Warning: He can die from a single hit and is tiny enough that Micro Goombas are actually dangerous to him. Be careful! | ||

===Penguin Suit=== | ===Penguin Suit=== | ||
The Penguin Suit comes in very handy during icy levels, as Penguin Mario does not slip on ice. Mario can shoot ice with this power-up, just like with an Ice Flower, but he can dash and then slide along by pressing {{control|{{wii|Down|Dpad}}|{{wii|down|nunchuk}}}}. He will bowl over most enemies in his path and keep on sliding as long as he remains on ice. He can also slide straight over gaps that are two blocks wide, or over water. He can also swim better: you don't have to press 2, but you move with the D-Pad. | [[File:NSMBW Penguin Suit.png|right|100px]]The Penguin Suit comes in very handy during icy levels, as Penguin Mario does not slip on ice.

===Super Star=== | ===Super Star=== | ||
This bouncing bundle of joy makes Mario completely invincible, meaning he can take no damage and he can kill every enemy, with the exception of King Bills and bosses. They will often be cleverly hidden, but will help tremendously throughout many levels. However, you can still die from falling down chasms. | [[File:NSMBW Star.png|right|100px]]This bouncing bundle of joy makes Mario completely invincible, meaning he can take no damage and he can kill every enemy, with the exception of King Bills and bosses.

A simple block made from bricks. They contain Coins, 1-Up Mushrooms, beanstalks and other goodies. Hit them from underneath or Ground Pound them from above to "activate" them. If they are empty and you are at least Super Mario, they will just break leaving a nice empty space. | A simple block made from bricks.

There are two types of bounce blocks: One has a green and white checkered pattern, the other features a dancing musical note. These blocks give you an extra bounce whenever you jump from them. And that's about it, really. | |||

These earth-shattering blocks cause a rough vibration when thrown. This rattle will defeat all enemies touching the ground, and cause all Coins to drop to the floor. Hold {{Wii|1}} and {{Wii|horizontal|shake}} to pick them up, but be warned; they're heavy and will affect your movement. Release {{Wii|1}} to heave the block to the ground and activate its effect. | These earth-shattering blocks cause a rough vibration when thrown.

===Star Coin Block=== | |||
Only one of these is in the entire game, and it's in Princess Toadstool's castle. When hitting it, you can watch videos you've used star coins to unlock. These videos show this game's hints and secrets. The block itself is blue with a picture of a Star Coin. | |||

Much like Bowser Jr.'s Koopa Clown Car, this white bowl-type thing with a propeller on the bottom allows you to take him on.

This looks like a long steel girder until you stand on it. It will change color depending on who landed on it first (red with an "M" in the middle for Mario, green and "L" for Luigi, etc.). The color indicates who has control of the Tilt Lift. By then tilting the Wii Remote side to side, you can control how much the Lift tilts in-game. If whoever has control jumps off and doesn't return within about one second, it will switch control (or become neutral, if no one is standing on it). Use this to reach objects floating high in the air, or ones hiding underneath. It's used a few times in World 1-2 and World 2-4. | This looks like a long steel girder until you stand on it.
