Certain objects in the game, such as overturned Goombas and keys, can be carried and thrown.
Certain objects in the game, such as overturned Goombas and keys, can be carried and thrown.
* To carry an item approach it and press {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}}.  '''Note:''' In Super Mario World for SNES -- and possibly other consoles -- the Y or X button must be ''*held down*'' ;  simply approach, or even land on, an object ''while holding down Y or X.''
* To throw the object press {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}} again.  '''Note:''' In Super Mario World for SNES -- and possibly other consoles as well -- the Y or X button must be *released*... since you've already been holding it down the entire time you're carrying the object.


* To '''carry an item''': Approach it and press {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}}. ''('''Note:''' In Super Mario World for SNES -- and possibly other consoles -- the {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}} button ''*must be held down*'' ;  simply approach, or even land on, an object ''while holding down {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}},'' and Mario will pick it up and carry the object as long as you hold down {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}}.)''
* To '''throw the object straight ahead of you''' (useful for wiping out a line of enemies): Press {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}} again. ''('''Note:''' In Super Mario World for SNES -- and possibly other consoles as well -- the {{control|{{snes|Y}}|{{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|Y}}|{{gb|B}}}} button must be *released*... since you've already been holding it down the entire time you're carrying the object.)''
* To '''set an item down without throwing it''' (which at least works on SNES console): Press '''and hold''' the Down arrow {{control|{{snes|Down|Dpad}}|{{gc|Down|Dpad}}/{{gc|Down|Control}}|{{wii-cc|Down|Dpad}}/{{wii-cc|Down|Lstick}}|{{gb|Down|Dpad}}}} , and then release {{control|{{snes|X}} or {{snes|Y}}|{{gc|X}} or {{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|X}} or {{wii-cc|y}}|{{gb|B}}}}.  This will cause you to set the item down gently.  (Useful if you're in a tight spot and don't want to hurt yourself!)
* To '''throw an item upwards''', useful for hitting blocks or enemies high up in the air (which at least works on SNES console): Press '''and hold''' the Up arrow {{control|{{snes|Up|Dpad}}|{{gc|Up|Dpad}}/{{gc|Up|Control}}|{{wii-cc|Up|Dpad}}/{{wii-cc|Up|Lstick}}|{{gb|Up|Dpad}}}} , and then press {{control|{{snes|X}} or {{snes|Y}}|{{gc|X}} or {{gc|Y}}|{{wii-cc|X}} or {{wii-cc|y}}|{{gb|B}}}}.


P-switches do not do damage when thrown. However, throwing objects other than P-switches is the most powerful attacking move in the game. Throwing objects is the only move that can kill Bowser.
