    The Blue Shell was a good item. Speed runners love that item. It's really useful to plow through enemies and it allows Mario and Luigi to swim faster. It's an earlier version of the Penguin Suit but without Ice Balls but not reliant on Ice or downward slopes to gain speed.

      Yeah I don’t get why it’s on this list. Sure it can be hard to control, but the shell slide is fast, beats enemies, breaks blocks, and if I’m not mistaken protects you from most damage. Plus the extra swimming is nice and iirc you can block some attacks by simply crouching. Few power ups are that versatile

    The Blue Shell makes you practically invincible save for a few insta death traps while zooming around inside it,which more than makes up for it being hard to control.

    I love the Blue Shell in New Super Mario Bros.. What I like about the Blue Shell is that it is not a crutch. Most Mario power-ups are crutches that make the game easier to play. In contrast, while the Blue Shell does grant the player greater power, that power is difficult to properly use and thus the Blue Shell still keeps the game challenging. The extra power is the capability to beat levels faster and to beat enemies that are normally unbeatable or would take more time to beat. But that extra power comes with extra challenge.
    As I already hinted at, the Blue Shell is pretty good, but only if you have the skill to use it properly. If you do not have enough skill for that then the Blue Shell is a really bad power-up which mostly gets in the way. Generally, the Blue Shell is as useful as the player using it is good.
    Also, the Blue Shell significantly increases swimming speed.

    Like many of the other comments, I have to say that the Yoshi wings are really good, since blue Yoshi is incredibly useful. Also, I found the blue shell to be fun to play around with in NSMB, even if it was a bit unwieldy. And, the Superball power up from Super Mario Land is interesting and really neat to me.

In other galaxies the spring mushroom was in, the spring mushroom at least made sense with the galaxy's theme. Toy Time Galaxy, kid's bedroom with toys, okay, that's the set piece, and springs can be considered a toy, I mean, slinky are springs after all. Matter Splatter Galaxy, strange world where the ground semi exists, so sure, the spring mushroom still fits the weirdness of that galaxy. Clockwork Galaxy, that galaxy was mechanical, and springs are mechanical, so the spring mushroom makes sense here. But Beach Bowl Galaxy?

    I think the Power Flower is useful when you're Wario or Luigi, though the problem in general is that its way too situational. Wing Cap has a general use case. Being able to zip across the stages is quite nice. Metal and Vanish Caps are useful when you have them, but you only really need them in certain spots.
    Yoshi's fire breath is actually worse than Balloon Mario IMO. You just need it for a few stars and its useless everywhere else (as an attack its outclassed by every other options Yoshi has in Mario 64 DS). Balloon Mario is slow but it can be useful for zipping across levels in places where Wing Cap isn't available. (first Bowser for example)
