By fitting the bolometric light curves of 31 super-luminous supernovae(SLSNe) with the magnetar engine model, we derive the ejecta masses andmagnetar parameters for these SLSNe. The lower boundary of magnetic fieldstrengths of SLSN magnetars can be set just around the critical field strength$B_{\rm c}$ of electron Landau quantization. In more details, SLSN magnetarscan further be divided into two subclasses of magnetic fields of$\sim(1-5)B_{\rm c}$ and $\sim(5-10)B_{\rm c}$, respectively. It is revealedthat these two subclasses of magnetars are just associated with theslow-evolving and fast-evolving bolometric light curves of SLSNe. Incomparison, the magnetars harbored in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and associatedhypernovae are usually inferred to have much higher magnetic fields with alower boundary about $\sim10B_{\rm c}$. This robustly suggests that it is themagnetic fields that play the crucial role in distinguishing SLSNe fromGRBs/hypernovae. The rotational energy of SLSN magnetars are found to becorrelated with the masses of supernova ejecta, which provides a clue toexplore the nature of their progenitors. Moreover, the distribution of ejectamasses of SLSNe is basically intermediate between those of normal core-collapsesupernovae and hypernovae. This could indicate an intrinsic connection amongthese different stellar explosions.
