Double Cherry

The Double Cherry is a power-up introduced in Super Mario 3D World. Obtaining the cherry produces a clone of the player's character which also acts as an extra hit. The clone follows all the player's inputs as if it were the original.

Usage
The double cherry often is placed several times throughout the level. While not neccesary for completion of the level, several secrets utilize the cherries laid through the level. Some of these secrets are simply bypassed by having multiple players though. The maximum amount of clones one player can get is 4 in addition to the original. More cherries are present in levels when played in Multiplayer. Regardless of who was the original, each clone disappears with one hit to them. Each clone  present when the player grabs the flagpole give him or her 10000 points each.

Appearances
The powerup has so far only appeared in Super Mario 3D World.
