Simplify the following text for a Grade 7 native English-speaking person.
Original: New items from Mario platform games are introduced , including the `` Mega Mushroom '' from New Super Mario Bros. , which allows the character to grow enormous in size and flatten opposing characters , and the `` POW BLOCK '' from Mario Bros. , which allows the character to send a shockwave to all the characters in front of them , spinning them out of control and causing them to drop any items they may be carrying ( there is no effect , however , on those who are airborne ) .
