'''Golden Mushrooms''', also known as '''Gold Mushrooms''', are a rare variety type of [[Mushroom]] named for their golden color. They typically resemble a crownless version of the [[Golden Dash Mushroom]] from the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]''. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and appearances based on it, they are consistently known as '''Gold Mushrooms''' and appear as lighter-toned golden mushroom with dark spots; the Golden Mushroom in [[Super Nintendo World]], meanwhile, inverts this shading.

==History==
===''Mario Party 2''===
In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', Gold Mushrooms appear in the minigames [[Grab Bag]] and [[Rakin' 'em In]], where they are worth three [[Mushroom]]s. Other Golden Mushrooms appear as a usable item, but these are actually [[Super Mushroom]]s with a nonstandard yellow design.

===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''===
[[File:MLSuperStarSagaGoldenShroom.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]], it fully restores both [[Heart Point]]s and [[Bros. Point]]s for a single brother. There are only five Golden Mushrooms in-game, though it can also be stolen using [[Swing Bros.]] from [[Fawful]] and [[Popple]] (in the original game).

In the remake, bosses like [[Iggy]], [[Morton]], [[Wendy]], and [[Larry]] always drop a Golden Mushroom when defeated. Ten further Golden Mushrooms can be obtained from the [[Information Booth]] after 800 attacks are dodged. They also have a chance to be dropped by [[Clumph]]s and [[Boo]]s.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|its remake]], the [[Star Candy]] replaces the Golden Mushroom, with the [[Cheesy Drumstick]] being the [[Bowser]] equivalent in the remake. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', they are replaced by various [[Candy (Mario & Luigi series)|Candies]].

===''New Super Mario Bros. 2''===
[[File:GoldMushroomNSMB2.png|thumb|80px|left]]
Gold Mushrooms appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' in the [[Coin Rush]] mode, where they replace [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. The mushrooms resemble previous iterations, except with dark instead of light spots. Collecting one gives [[Mario]] 50 [[coin]]s (or 100 coins if he is [[Gold Mario]]).

===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Gold Mushrooms appear as rare collectibles in some courses in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS ports]], appearing and acting as they do in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''. Collecting these mushrooms is usually a secondary objective in the courses they appear in. Some Gold Mushrooms can only be found through invisible [[Pluck Patch]]es, which can be seen once Captain Toad approaches them or reveals them with his headlamp.

===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
[[File:PDSMBE-GoldMushroom.png|frame]]
Gold Mushrooms are rare items in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]''. They retain their appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', and are obtained from [[? Block]]s or dropped after defeating some enemies with a 10+ combo, such as [[Goomba Tower|2-Goomba Towers]] and [[Paragoomba]]s. There is an even rarer variation called [[Grand Gold Mushroom]]. It raises the Skill levels of all Toad colors, and all types/forms of Goombas and Piranha Plants from Level 1-4.

===''Mario Tennis Aces''===
In ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', Gold Mushrooms sometimes appear in Boo Hunt mode, floating over the court. They can be hit with a ball for coins. They retain their appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''.

===Super Nintendo World===
A Golden Mushroom is a key item in the "Power-Up Band Key Challenges" attraction at [[Super Nintendo World]], where it is stolen by [[Bowser Jr.]] and attendees help [[Princess Peach|Peach]] recover it by collecting three [[Key Coin|key]]s and defeating Bowser Jr. in an interactive boss battle.<ref>[https://www.usj.co.jp/web/en/us/super-nintendo-world Official Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan webpage]</ref>
