Decided to organize my power up states into classes (state pattern). Seems to be a lot better than using switch statements everywhere. Design patterns are really useful, despite what the anti-OOP crowd may say.

I still think the state design pattern is useful. I guess I went a little too overboard.

Okay, maybe using the state pattern for power-up states wasn't good idea. I had to reconfigure a lot of code and since power-ups carry over levels, I had to assign the power-up state to the Game1 class and reference the player in each level. What a mess!
