Help us!

I'm trying to think of classic powerups from gaming's past, as well as what they woulddo, to show up randomly in place of Light/Dark Surges, Revives, Weapon/Shield Supercharges, and possibly other powerups, like Force Crystals, Armor, and the Stouker monstrosity. Additionally, I'm trying to think of what some would do, namely Marios' 1-UP and growth Mushrooms-I mean, what would that stuff do in a game where there aren't lives, or any benefit from growing larger? (not to mentoin that would be HARD!) So far, the list under consideration includes:

/Mario
1-UP
Mushroom
Coin (gold, red, blue)
Fire Flower
Star

/Kart
Ghost
Shell (Green, Red, Leader)

/Smash Brothers
Home-Run Bat
Food
Maxim Tomato
Screw Attack


/Metal Slug
Bread

/Mega Man (X)
Dash Boots


Please don't hesitate to suggest absurd, useless, or hard to do power-ups, or how they might work. We are limiting ourselves to doing classic power-ups, so not so/for reading this far*much weapons, or anything that was never a power-up, such as Mjolner armor. (Home-Run Bat and Dash boots exceptions)

This post shall be updated as we think of stuff, (if you don't get to it first.)

If you can make a cog and allow us to insert nessesary additional code, or a top-notch 3do (16-bit and 8-bit), that would help a lot. We will*for reading this far/ probably not have a problem with other folks building onto this with their' own additional powerups.

Bill me for the time it took you to read this!:p As always, thank you!
