In this form, they gain a tail that can be used to attack enemies, and if they run fast enough, they can use their tail to take off into the air for a limited period of time. The two most common are the Fire Flower, which gives the brothers the ability to toss fireballs at their enemies, and the Super Leaf, which transforms them into Raccoon Mario or Raccoon Luigi. In addition to the Super Mushroom, there are several other power-ups available. While super, they can jump up and break bricks, and they can survive contact with an enemy, but they will be transformed back into regular Mario and Luigi as a consequence. This can be corrected by finding and catching a Super Mushroom, which transforms them into Super Mario or Super Luigi.

As regular Mario and regular Luigi, they are quite vulnerable to attack from an enemy. The brothers begin each new life in their regular small form. Aside from the way they look, they are identical in every way in this game, including their ability to jump. In the original NES version, Luigi is simply a green palette of the Mario sprite, but starting in Super Mario All-Stars, Luigi was given his own taller slimmer sprite to distinguish him from his stouter brother. Player 1 controls Mario, while Player 2 is in charge of Luigi. You take control of the Mario Brothers throughout the adventure.
