Goofy power ups you love that everyone else hates

ITT we discuss our favorite off-beat power ups and abilities that have managed to endear themselves to us despite most people being annoyed with them or being indifferent.

To start us off, I find the frog suit to be an oddly charming little quirk. While it does make the water levels much easier, one can argue that the fire flower works just as well for those sections and that the suit is too clumsy to handle on land. Personally, I see it as a hidden hard mode when used out of the water, and beating a koopaling or bowser with it just makes victory all the sweeter.

I was a big fan of quad damage in Quake. It was fantastic to get that and start crushing everybody with it.
Hang yourselves.

No one hates the frog suit.

Sticking to the basic handguns is a really great way to make RE4 more challenging.

The quad damage was the ultimate scrub machine, people hate it because you can barely counter it.

...

I really like it. I don't get why other people don't.

Flashbacks of Tubular.

Ohhh yeah baby, that's my shit, oh fuck yeah.

Nothing like a nice case of early 90's ptsd.
On the subject of mario power ups, am I the only one who liked Golem mario?

I like all of the items in Smash Bros.

I found out how to cheese that bullshit with a cape and blue yoshi

I enjoyed the Spring Mushroom from Galaxy 1 and 2. It was fun to bounce around with and it controls better than people say.

I love that thing. There's a glitch with groundpounding and the superjump that you can do when playing in two-player, and it allows you to doublejump.

Hmm…

I particularly liked Dog Mode and Elasto Mode in Rise of the Triad: Dark War.

The first basically turned you into a dog with a deadly bark (and you could charge it for an instagib), and the second made you frictionless and sent you bouncing all over the place… kinda like a superball on a pinball table made of greased teflon.

Jesus christ

I thought the rhino suit in Kid Chameleon was nice

Well don't be shy, at least post the rest for the othersI've read this one before

Always liked the Hammer suit in SMB3. It's hammers are thrown in a nice high arc and for some reason can kill Boos. A hammer defeating a ghost always seemed kinda funny.

Post more Shintaro Kago

A timeless classis. Please stop. Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't edit Mario on it.

*classisc
Fuck

Are you okay?

...

What the fuck is she trying to shit out? It looks like some weird stone with maggots on it. Fucking terrible artist. Why the fuck is she not using a enema to clean out her maggot asshole? How do you even get maggots in your asshole?

This sub-par scat/maggot porn has too many unanswered questions.

My main gripe is that it's so damn slow.

I kind of assumed it was a horror story.

Bravo, user. Just excellent.

What the fuck happened to this place?

What does Junji Ito have to do with anything?

It shouldn't be a surprise that a Nintencuck thread is also filled with newfag tumblr transplants.

Shintaro Kago's fetish seem to be 'let's have a person be permanently disfigured in some way, while still fully alive and conscious'.

Read my op and tell me where it says this is exclusive to nintendo games you blind faggot.

I dunno if I'm just shit at games but that level is bullshit and it's the only one I dread when replaying SMW

It is from a guro compilation manga, I thought it would be more well known tbh.

All of the special world levels are shit, they're just what the dev team threw together at the last minute. At least the reward was worth it though.
