Can anyone here list them all? From what I recall, they had:
1) Super strength
2) Super speed
3) Enhanced durability
4) Enhanced healing
5) Flight
6) Sonic blast
7) Laser vision
8) Ice breath (Blossom only)
9) Flaming feline of fury attack (all three together)
10) Super senses
11) Miniaturization
12) Giant growth
13) Splitting into multiples
14) Melting into liquid
15) Hand blasts
16) Ability to speak to Central/South American animals (Bubbles only)
17) Musical magic
18) Invading and controlling dreams
19) Cherry bomb attack (two/three together)

I'm sure there are more, but can't recall them.

Why are new powers in Seasons Five and Six non-canon? Also, did McCracken say that Buttercup and Blossom doing the scream attack, Blossom and Bubbles doing the tornado attack, etc., was corrected in later episodes or is that simply your spin on things?

Is it still the same show? (I didn't see the latter episodes save for one or two.) If so, I don't see how those later episodes aren't canon. The quality may have gone down and the showrunner changed, but it's still the same show, I believe. It wasn't a reboot a la the new Battlestar Galactica.

As far as characters doing other character's special, unique moves -- retcons happen, things are superceded and changed. That's how it is in serial fiction. Power levels flux, powers come and go. It might not make sense, but continuity can shift unpredictably in serials and turn old truths into no-longer-truths, re-write history, etc.

Energy Hand Blast
Durability (Depending on impacts)

(Smartest of the three)

Bubbles

Buttercup

Well that's about it, if there's anything else I left out it's most likely non-canon!
