To stop the shell form, simply release the dash button. It's hard to control Mario while he's in his shell, but the move is good for both attacking enemies and breaking blocks from the side (since you can't get under all of them to jump and bust 'em). Start running and Shell Mario will soon tuck into his shell and bounce around the level. Shell Mario has some great advantages, but he can also be very dangerous to play. The most unique power-up will turn Mario into Shell Mario. Get hit once and Fire Mario will revert to Super Mario form. Fireballs are capable of defeating most enemies, including Bowser Jr. There can be two fireballs on-screen at any given time. Super Mario can also sustain a single attack without dying, though he'll revert to standard Mario.įire Mario is just like Super Mario but with the added ability to shoot fireballs. As Super Mario, you can break blocks with ground pounds and jumps. Grab a standard Mushroom power-up and Mario will become Super Mario, a larger form of his same self. You won't miss out on anything by upgrading to a new form. If you're playing as Mario and see a power-up, grab it. Standard Mario can't break blocks and he'll die in just one hit. You start the game as plain Mario, the only form with no special attributes. Here, we'll go over the various forms of Mario and describe their unique abilities. An assortment of power-ups will change Mario's size and abilities, giving you access to new attacks and letting you reach otherwise impossible areas.
