Picking up a pow block is useful if you ever plan on adding multiplayer, because this way youll hog it to yourself and have total control over its use. The downside is a single use of the block.

Oh, we're definitely planning on incorporating multiplayer.

I think I recall doing this from playing the remake of Mario Bros. on the Advanced series, Gors, but isn't it possible to bash the POW Block a bit to get some additional uses and then pick it up?

Yeah, it is.
