'''Mega Mario''' is a form that [[Mario]] and some others can become by eating a [[Mega Mushroom]] or simply [[Super Mushroom]]s in many games. This form allows the [[player]] to greatly increase in size, allowing them to defeat every enemy in his path and break almost anything (including [[Flagpole]]s).

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the [[Super Mushroom]] has the same effects as the [[Mega Mushroom]], and makes the player into a larger size. The player can then obliterate almost anything in his or her path, and if they break more than eight objects, he or she will get a 1-up for every additional object they destroy. The Super Mushrooms are always found in [[Brick]]s scattered throughout the level and are introduced in [[Bob-omb Battlefield]]. The player cannot do any special types of [[jump]]s, such as the [[Triple Jump]], but when he grabs a [[Super Mushroom]], Yoshi gains the ability to punch.

The Mega Mario form returns in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', being obtained from the rare [[Mega Mushroom]]. The more objects Mega Mario breaks, the bar above his head will get filled in. If he crushes a certain amount of objects, Mega Mario can gain up to five [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. Mega Mario also has the ability to squash any of ''New Super Mario Bros.''<nowiki>'</nowiki> bosses in one hit, including [[Bowser]] in any of his forms. If Mega Mario falls into a [[abyss|pit]], the purple toxic water or lava, or if [[Time Limit|time]] runs out, he is instantly defeated. When the power-up expires, he is reverted to Super Mario, regardless of whatever form he was in before using the Mega Mushroom. 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. Additionally, if Mega Mario completes the level, he destroys the flagpole, filling up one section of the meter. He then instantly reverts back to normal.

The Mega Mario form will return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', again being obtained from the [[Mega Mushroom]], acting the same as in the previous games.

===''Mario Party'' series===

====''Mario Party 3====

In the [[mini-game]] [[Toadstool Titan]] of ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', characters could obtain the mega form from taking a [[Mushroom]] hidden in one of the [[Brick Block]]s. Once the character had obtained the mushroom, he or she was capable of knocking out other characters in a short period of time. Mega characters could not jump and control their moves, however.

====''Mario Party 4====

In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', the Mega Mushroom cause one to enlarge in size and hit two [[Dice Block]]s. While Mega, the player can take 10 coins from any opponent the player squishes. The [[Super Mega Mushroom]] works the same way, but with three Dice Blocks.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', any character can become Mega by acquiring a Super Mushroom. When a player is Mega, his or her attack power increases by a fair bit and launch resistance increases. However, it makes the character easier to hit and pelt them with attacks. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the final event match pits the player against Mega Mario, [[Solid Snake|Snake]], and [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]. Both games also offer an option to play as Mega for an entire match.

===''Paper Mario'' series===

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door====

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Mario or his partners can become huge by using a [[Power Punch]]. This increases their attack power briefly for a few turns. During a few [[Bowser]] intermissions, if he eats enough [[Meat]], it has the same effect as a [[Mega Mushroom]] and makes him huge, invincible, and destructive for a brief time. [[Princess Peach]] can also swallow a potion that makes her momentarily giant, although no other effects are seen.

====''Super Paper Mario====

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', when [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], or [[Bowser]]) grabs a [[Mega Star]], they will turn 8-bit, much like their sprite from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and grow to giant proportions as well. As Mega Mario, Mario will be able to break blocks, enemies and anything in his path, much like the Mega Mario form from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. It should be noted that, in Chapter 3-1, there is a specific Koopa Troopa that collects a Mega Star, causing it to become massive; it is known as the [[Mega Koopa]]. Additionally, by feeding Princess Peach a [[Red Apple]] while she is in her comatose state, she momentarily grows to a giant size.

===''Mario Super Sluggers===

In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', any character can become temporarily Mega by finding a Mushroom in the [[mini-game]], [[Graffiti Runner]]. When a player is giant, he or she can create small earthquakes that can paralyze all ground opponents for a brief period. However, they are still vulnerable to body checks, [[Chain Chomp]]s, and characters that have a star in effect.

===''Mario Kart Wii===

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Mega Mushrooms appear as items. When the character utilizes the Mega Mushroom, then he or she becomes gigantic, allowing him or her to squish opponents and get a speed boost. However, the player is not immune to [[Thunderbolt (item)|Thunderbolts]], [[Invincible Mario|invincible racer]]s or [[Bullet Bill]]s. When the player is hit by a Thunderbolt, they simply revert back to their original size.

===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story===

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', one of [[Broque Monsieur]]'s attacks involves hitting a block and obtaining a Mega Mushroom. While mega, he attempts to ram Bowser, but this attack can be countered by punching him.

===''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games===

*According to [[the InterNed]], the music in ''Super Paper Mario'' that plays while Mario or another character (including the [[Mega Koopa]]) is in Mega form is titled "An Unrivaled Battle."

*A similar form to Mega Mario, though unnamed, appeared in the ''[[Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Mario in Mariozilla]]". [[Kamek]] accidentally turned him into this state.

*In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode, [[Mario Meets Koop-zilla]], Mario becomes Mega Mario, but not by a Mega Mushroom, but by the [[Super Sushi]].
