Assist Items are special items that can aid the player in completing the level in ways that normal power-ups can't. They can only be purchased at a Shop or found in hard/very hard stages or collecting eight red coins in specific stages but the player can have up to ten of them at one time. The player can only have one copy of each item at a time. All characters share Assist Items with no character-specific ones.
