==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:SMB2World1-1.png|thumb|Screenshot from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'']]
Magical Potions in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' can be picked up and thrown to the ground to create a temporary [[Warp Door|door]] from which the player character can enter [[Subspace]]. Magical Potions cannot create doors within a jar, over another door, or on unstable surfaces like [[quicksand]].

====''BS Super Mario USA''====
Magical Potions are items in ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]''. They are necessary to find [[Wart]] in one of Subspace's jars as he is always hidden in these dimensions.{{br|left}}

===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
A Magical Potion is sometimes pulled out by [[Bowser|King Koopa]] at the end of an episode in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', usually when he is outmatched by Mario's group, in episodes such as "[[Bad Rap]]" and "[[Mario Meets Koop-zilla]]" and throws it, creating a [[Warp Zone]] for him to escape. The episode "[[Princess, I Shrunk the Mario Brothers]]" introduces two types of potions called the [[Magic Shrink Potion]] and [[Magic Growing Potion]].

Magical Potions appear in the following episodes:

*[[King Mario of Cramalot]]
*[[The Adventures of Sherlock Mario]]
*[[On Her Majesty's Sewer Service]]
*[[Hooded Robin and His Mario Men]]
*[[Mario Meets Koop-zilla]]
*[[The Unzappables]]
*[[Bad Rap]]
*[[Karate Koopa]]
*[[Raiders of the Lost Mushroom]]

===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:Magic Potion SuperMarioKun.jpg|thumb|left|A Magic Potion in ''Super Mario-kun'']]
A Magical Potion has appeared in volume 8 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' briefly, where Luigi tries to give it to Mario to try and help him defeat [[Tryclyde]]. Toad has also used the Magical Potion in a fight with Wart. He enters the door the potion creates and then gives powerups to aid Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi during the fight, including [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]], [[P-Wing]]s, and [[Frog Suit]]s.

===Nintendo Adventure Books===
In ''[[Doors to Doom]]'', when Mario and Luigi escape a stampede of [[Ninji]]s by jumping off a cliff while using a parasol to safely float down, they decide to escape by revealing a bottle of Magic Potion from a tuft of grass. However, this particular bottle of potion creates a door which has a lock on it, displaying a shoelace puzzle on it. Mario and Luigi must solve the puzzle and push the correct button in order to escape the area; pushing the incorrect button makes the door lead them to an encounter where they get shot point-blank by a [[Shy Guy]] riding an [[Autobomb]], leading to a [[Game Over]].

==Profiles==
===''Super Mario Bros. 2''===
*'''Wii Virtual Console manual:''' "''Throw one of these to make a door appear, then pass through one of these doors to get to Sub-space.''"

===''Super Mario Advance''===
*'''European instruction booklet:''' "''If you pick up a magic potion and toss it down, a door to Subspace will appear. Press {{button|gba|padup}} to enter the doorway. In Subspace, the grass you pull up will sometimes produce coins, and depending on where you open the doorway, 1-Up Mushrooms may also appear.''"
