If your chain isn't maxed out (with 10,000 multipliers adding to each item), then you actually want to let the items drop to the ground, as the number of items is what increases the multiplier. Only start picking them up before they drop once your multiplier is maxed.

Also, Jitterbug drops a 2up if you kill him without a bomb, which will help greatly against the last boss.
