'''Mega Mario''' is a form that [[Mario]] and many other characters can take by obtaining a [[Mega Mushroom]] in various games and media. This form allows players to grow into an enormous size, allowing them to destroy every enemy in their path and obliterate almost anything (including [[Warp Pipe]]s, [[Empty Block]]s, [[Boo]]s, [[Hard Block]]s, and even [[Goal Pole]]s).

====''Mario Party: The Top 100'' / ''Mario Party Superstars''====

The Mega form returns with Toadstool Titan (now renamed Mush Pit) in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''. In this version of the minigame, the Mushroom is replaced by a Mega Mushroom.

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', when [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], or [[Bowser]] collect a [[Mega Star]], they will turn into giant versions of their 8-bit sprites from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' (Mario and Luigi use their Small form sprites). As Mega Mario, Mario will be able to break any Brick Blocks, Pipes, and enemies in his path, as in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Mega Mario and Luigi are shorter and faster, while Peach and Bowser are taller but slower. In Chapter 3-1, there is a specific Koopa Troopa that uses a Mega Star, causing it to become the [[Mega Koopa]]. According to [[The InterNed]], the music that plays while one of the characters is in Mega form (including the [[Mega Koopa]]) is titled "An Unrivaled Battle".

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]] has the same effects as the [[Mega Mushroom]] and makes the player grow to a larger size. The character can then obliterate almost anything in his path, and if he breaks more than eight objects, he will get a 1-Up for every additional object he destroys. The mushrooms are always found in [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Brick]]s and [[stump]]s scattered throughout the level and are introduced in the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]]. The character cannot do any special types of [[jump]]s, such as the [[Triple Jump]]. If Yoshi grabs a mushroom, he gains the ability to punch. While powered up by the mushroom, the music that plays is a variation of the [[Metal Cap]] theme.

The Mega Mario form returns in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', being obtained from the rare [[Mega Mushroom]]. The more objects Mega Mario breaks, the '''Mega Meter'''<ref>{{cite|title=''New Super Mario Bros.'' instruction booklet|page=23|date=2006|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> will get filled in. If he fills in each segment by crushing a certain amount of objects, Mega Mario can gain up to five [[1-Up Mushroom]]s when the form wears off. [[Ground Pound]]ing as Mega Mario usually causes a group of [[Goomba]]s or [[coin]]s (or both) to fall from above. Mega Mario also has the ability to defeat almost all of the enemies in the game or squash any of the game's bosses in one hit, including [[Bowser]] in any of his forms. Mega Mario can also walk through [[Mega Unagi]]s and [[Skewer]]s. If Mega Mario falls into a [[pit]], the purple toxic water or lava, or if [[Time Limit|time]] runs out, he can still lose a life. If the Mega Mushroom is activated in tight spaces, Mario's transformation will be canceled and the Mega Mushroom will return to the touch screen; however, if Mega Mario is crushed in any way, he will revert to [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] and lose a life immediately after. Mega Mario also reverts to this form if he falls into toxic water or lava, though he remains in Mega Mario form if the player runs out of time. If Mega Mario completes the level, he destroys the [[Goal Pole|flagpole]] and obtains 8000 points, which will fill up one-fifth of the Mega Meter, ensuring at least one extra life is gained when doing so. After the Mega Mushroom wears off, Mario reverts to Super Mario, regardless of whatever form he was in before using the Mega Mushroom. When Luigi grabs a Mega Mushroom, the sound effect is louder.

Mega Mario [[List of New Super Mario Bros. Wii pre-release and unused content|would have returned]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', but it was removed from the final game. However, the form does return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', again being obtained from the [[Mega Mushroom]], acting the same as in the previous game. Unlike in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', though, Mega Mario can only gain [[1-Up Mushroom]]s (three of them) by destroying the [[Goal Pole]], though this is only possible in [[World 5-6 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5-6]]. Mega Mario overrides every other form except [[White Raccoon Mario]], though this will give the player 1,000 points instead of putting the Mega Mushroom in the item storage, which is not possible in this game. Like in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', the player reverts to their Super form regardless of what form they were in before obtaining the Mega Mushroom.

Mega Mario appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|Nintendo Switch port]]. making this game the form's second appearance in a 3D ''Super Mario'' platform game after ''Super Mario 64 DS''. The form functions identically to the way it does in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', allowing players to smash through objects and enemies, but it cannot destroy Goal Poles. However, in Mega form, they can ground pound to create a shockwave that hits nearby blocks and enemies. The heroes have scowling expressions in their Mega forms, except for Toad, as he only makes a frowning expression instead. Like in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', players revert to their Super form regardless of what power-up they had prior to obtaining the Mega Mushroom. Entering a [[Warp Box]] automatically reverts the player back to their Super form.

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Mega Mushrooms appear as items. When characters use the Mega Mushroom, they become temporarily giant, allowing them to squash opponents and get a speed boost, even on off-road terrain. However, they are not immune to [[Lightning]], [[Invincible Mario|invincible racers]] or [[Bullet Bill]]s; Mega players affected by Lightning revert to their original size, which cancels out the giant effect. When a racer is giant, the original Mega Mushroom theme from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' can be heard from them.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', [[Bowser Memory M and Bowser Memory L|Bowser Memory M]] uses a Mega Mushroom to enlarge himself for his Brick Block breaking attack, rather than a Super Mushroom.

During [[Toad]]'s [[Special Shot (Mario Golf: Super Rush)|Special Shot]] in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', he uses a Mega Mushroom to transform into Mega Toad to hit the ball.
