The '''Mega Mushroom''' is a rare variety of mushroom found in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. It [[Mega Mario|enlarges the user]], allowing them to walk over and destroy everything in their path, including the largest and most powerful enemies. Mega Mushrooms made their debut in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', where they were depicted as normally proportioned mushrooms with green caps; however, their current appearance is quite different and unique among the [[Mushroom]]s of the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]].  
A '''Mega Mushroom''' is a type of [[mushroom]] that [[Mega Mario|enlarges the user]] temporarily, allowing them to walk over and destroy most objects in their path, including large and powerful enemies. A Mega Mushroom was first seen in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', where it was depicted as a normally proportioned mushroom with a turquoise cap; in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', it received a more distinctive design, being much bigger, bearing a bulbous yellow cap with red spots, a similar coloration to the [[Super Mushroom]]s in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. A Mega Mushroom hops along the ground and, in their initial appearance, would actively flee from Mario. Its opposite counterpart is the [[Mini Mushroom]], which [[Mini Mario (form)|shrinks]] the character.


In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' and the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, the [[Super Mushroom]] has a similar effect to Mega Mushrooms in other games.
Introduced in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', the current Mega Mushrooms are now much bigger, with bulbous, red-spotted orange-yellow caps, and while all other mushrooms slide along the ground, the Mega Mushrooms hop. Originally, they would actively flee from Mario, and if the player jumped over one, it would even change directions, although this trait was omitted from the Mega Mushroom's ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' appearance. Its opposite counterpart is the [[Mini Mushroom]], which [[Mini Mario (form)|miniaturizes]] the player.

A Mega Mushroom first appeared in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', with a turquoise cap somewhat similar to a [[1-Up Mushroom]], but with a brighter and less saturated contrast. It can be obtained by landing on a [[Mushroom Space]], purchasing it from an item shop, getting it from an [[Item Bag]], or winning a mini-game on the board. A Mega Mushroom allows the character to roll two [[Dice Block]]s (and move 2-20 spaces), and enlarge them to a gigantic size that lets them flatten other characters and steal ten coins from them as they stomp across the board. However, board events will be bypassed (except for events involving [[Bowser]] at [[Bowser's Gnarly Party]]). If the character rolls the same number on both Dice Blocks, they get 10 coins (30 coins for two "7's"). Additionally, another variant titled the [[Super Mega Mushroom]] is available, bearing a translucent blue cap. It has the same effect, although it gives the user three Dice Blocks instead of two.

It can be obtained by landing on a [[Mushroom Space]], purchasing it from an item shop, getting it from an [[Item Bag]], or winning a mini-game on the board. They let the player roll two [[Dice Block]]s at once, making the player grow to an overwhelmingly gigantic size and flatten other players as they stomp across the board, stealing ten coins from them. However, board events will be bypassed (except for events involving [[Bowser]] at [[Bowser's Gnarly Party]]). If the player gets the same number on both Dice Blocks the player gets 10 coins (30 coins for two "7's"). Additionally, a [[Super Mega Mushroom]] is available, colored entirely translucent blue. It does the same thing but with three Dice Blocks.

===''Mario Pinball Land''===
===''Super Mario'' series===
Mega Mushrooms are items in ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''. They appear as red-capped mushrooms closely resembling traditional Super Mushrooms. They allow Mario to instantly defeat enemies when hit, even ones that are normally simply bumped around, like [[penguin]]s.
====''Super Mario 64 DS''====
 
[[File:Mushroom sm64ds.png|frame]]
===''Mario Kart'' series===
While the Mega Mushroom does not make an appearance in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the [[Super Mushroom]] has the same effect as the Mega Mushrooms of later games, as it temporarily makes the characters giant, greatly reduces their jumping abilities, and allows them to destroy nearly anything in their path. Destroying enough objects will cause numbers to appear above the character's head, and eventually, every object destroyed will earn the player an extra life.
====''Mario Kart Arcade GP''====
{{br}}
In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'', the Mega Mushroom appears under the name '''Giant Mushroom'''. It is an item obtainable from the [[Item Box]]. When players use this item, their player character and kart temporarily grow bigger.
 
====''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2''====
In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', the Giant Mushroom has the same role as it does in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP''.
 
====''Mario Kart Wii''====
[[File:MKW Mega Mario.png|thumb|left|200px|[[Mario]] using a Mega Mushroom in ''Mario Kart Wii'']]
In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', the Mega Mushroom returns as an item obtainable from the Item Box, making its console ''Mario Kart'' series debut. Racers can obtain it if they are anywhere from 4th to 8th place, with them also being able to obtain it in 9th place in VS races. The best chance of obtaining this item is in 6th place, with a 10 percent (4 out of 40) chance of obtaining it in that position. In addition to growing bigger, this item causes the player character's voice to become deeper and lower-pitched. Furthermore, it now offers the ability to squish opponents for a certain amount of time (similar to Thwomps), causing them to reduce their speed and lose their items. While this item is active, controlled characters receive a speed boost and cannot slow down when going off-road, and they are invincible to all dangerous things, except for the [[Super Star|Star]], [[Bullet Bill]], and [[Blooper]], giving them the ability to destroy any items or any course obstacles, except those that are big and metallic (such as [[Chain Chomp]]s). If racers get hit by [[Lightning]] while they are big, they shrink back to normal size rather than become tiny as the effect cancels it out. The effect also ends prematurely if they fall off the course. The Mega Mushroom's theme music from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' is played for the duration of the item's effect.
 
Players with a Star can knock Mega Mushroom players aside without any adverse effects themselves. A player under the effects of both a Mega Mushroom and a Star can knock most other players aside (normal-sized Star users included). Up to two Mega Mushrooms can be in play at a time.
 
====''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''====
In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', the Giant Mushroom has the same role as it does in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' and ''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2''.
 
====''Mario Kart Tour''====
The Mega Mushroom reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' and works the same way as it did in its appearance ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It is the only item introduced in that game to return in ''Mario Kart Tour''. However, Mega characters are vulnerable to rival racers' items, reverting to normal size if hit, and they do not gain speed nor off-road advantages. Also, the music does not change while the item is in effect. Starting from the version 2.12.0 update, players will receive points for hitting Mega opponents.
 
If the player runs into an Item Box as they crash and they have Auto Item activated, the growth caused by any Mega Mushroom used up from their inventory instantly recovers their driver from the crash.
 
Artwork of a Mega Mushroom appears on a billboard for a clothing brand, also called Mega Mushroom, in [[Wii Coconut Mall]].

A Mega Mushroom appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', where it would be given its current design. It is now orange with red spots, and is much bigger than before. Like its past incarnations, it causes [[Mario]] to grow to [[Mega Mario]]. In this colossal form, Mario can stomp across the level and crush near anything in his path - enemies, blocks, [[Warp Pipe]]s, and even the [[Goal Pole|flagpole]] at the end of the level. Additionally, [[Ground Pound]]ing in Mega form occasionally causes a group of [[Goomba]]s or [[coin]]s (or both) to fall from above. Destroying items and objects fills the Mega Meter at the top with yellow. Each segment turns green as it is fully filled; when Mario shrinks back to [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]], a [[1-Up Mushroom]] appears for each green segment filled, up to a maximum of five 1-Ups. A Mega Mushroom is rarely found, and can come from [[Toad House|Orange Toad House]]s, [[Flying ? Block|Red Flying ? Block]]s, or [[Hammer Bros.]] on the World Map. A Mega Mushroom appears only in four levels: [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|Worlds 1-1]], [[World 1-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|1-2]], [[World 4-4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|4-4]] and [[World 7-5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|7-5]]. If Mario or Luigi ground pounds a block containing a Mega Mushroom, it still appears from above. They are not completely invincible in this form, however; landing on bricks that cover a large enough gap risks Mega Mario smashing through and falling, while lava and [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]] still instantly cost them a life on contact.
Mega Mushrooms later reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they again make [[Mario]] grow to a giant size. In this colossal form, Mario can stomp across the level and crush anything in his path - enemies, blocks, [[Warp Pipe]]s, and even the [[Flagpole]] at the end of the level.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50QrRjSHVro</ref> When items are crushed by Mario, the bar at the top (referred to as the Mega Meter in the instruction manual) starts to fill up with yellow. As the yellow line reaches the end of a segment, that segment turns green. After Mario's size reduces again, a [[1-Up Mushroom]] appears for each green segment filled, with a maximum of five 1-Ups. These mushrooms are rarely found, and almost always come from [[Toad House]]s or [[? Block|Red Flying Blocks]]. Besides the Toad Houses, they only appear in four levels: [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]], [[World 1-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]], [[World 4-4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-4]] and [[World 7-5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-5]]. If Mario or Luigi ground pounds a block containing a Mega Mushroom, it still appears from above. The player is not completely invincible in this form, however; if the player is to jump and land on a hole covered with bricks, the player falls through, thus, losing a life, if the hole is big enough. In other cases, Mario, or Luigi, lose a life if they fall in lava or [[Poisoned Water|poison water]]. Additionally, if Mario or [[Luigi]] are to do a [[Ground Pound]] after eating a Mega Mushroom, a group of [[Goomba]]s or [[Coin]]s (or both) falls from the sky.  
 
A Mega Mushroom is also available as a power-up in the Mario vs. Luigi mode, serving a similar function. Mega Mario and Luigi can damage their opponent and knock out a [[Big Star]] upon contact. A Mega Mushroom can appear if a player collects eight coins, but this will only happen to the player with the fewest Big Stars.


In the [[List of New Super Mario Bros. pre-release and unused content|E3 2005 trailer build and at least one of the 2005 demo builds]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', the Mega Mushroom had the same colors as the Super Mushroom, but it was changed to a yellow cap with red spots in the final version. This was possibly meant to resemble the original colors of a Super Mushroom from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''

Mega Mushrooms are items in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They retain the same function in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and are rare items like before. However, Mega Mushrooms now appear only by launching some fireballs in an [[! Pipe]] from [[World 1-2 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-2]], [[World 5-6 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5-6]], and {{world-link|mushroom|3|World Mushroom-3 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}}, though two in a ? Block do appear each in the [[Third Course (Gold Rush Pack)|third level]] of the [[Gold Rush Pack]] and the [[First Course (Coin Challenge Pack C)|first level]] of the [[Coin Challenge Pack C]], and another one appears in the [[First Course (Gold Classics Pack)|first level]] of the [[Gold Classics Pack]]. In addition, though Mario cannot gain [[Extra life|1-Up]]s for the destruction he causes, he can obtain three 1-Up Mushrooms by destroying the [[Goal Pole]]; this can only be done in World 5-6. Despite there being two players, only one Mega Mushroom will appear in co-op mode, allowing only one player to turn into their Mega form. Unlike ''New Super Mario Bros.'', a Mega Mushroom is not found in [[Toad House]]s and cannot be put in the reserve box.
The Mega Mushroom [[List of New Super Mario Bros. Wii pre-release and unused content|was going to return]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', but was removed from the final game. However, the Mega Mushroom returns in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They retain the same function as in the first ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Like in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', they are very rare, only appearing by launching some fireballs in a black pipe from [[World 1-2 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-2]], [[World 5-6 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5-6]], or {{world-link|mushroom|3|World Mushroom-3}}; by doing so, a Mega Mushroom will appear (though one in a ? Block does appear in the third course of the [[Gold Rush Pack]]). In addition, though Mario cannot gain [[Extra life|1-Up]]s for the destruction he causes, he can get three 1-Up Mushrooms by destroying the [[Goal Pole]]; this can only be done in World 5-6. Unlike in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', Mega Mushrooms aren't found in [[Toad House]]s and cannot be put in reserve.

A Mega Mushroom makes a return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' along with its enhanced Switch port, ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' (in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' mode only), making it the item's first appearance in a 3D ''Super Mario'' title. It works as it did in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' However, if someone ground pounds, they now create a small shockwave that strikes all nearby blocks and enemies. As in the other games, Mega characters can destroy Warp Pipes. Mega characters will also revert to Super form upon entering a [[Warp Box]]. Also, the characters' voices now become slightly lower-pitched while the power-up is active, a similar mechanic in ''Mario Kart Wii'', and the Super Mushroom in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' games. Just as the Mega Mushroom is about to wear off, the music speeds up, unlike the sidescrolling games in the series. A Mega Mushroom appears in seven levels: [[Super Bell Hill]], [[The Bullet Bill Express]], [[Tricky Trapeze Theater]], [[Rainbow Run (level)|Rainbow Run]], [[Super Block Land]], [[Gargantuan Grotto]] and [[Gigantic Seasick Wreck]].
 
The Mega Mushroom makes a return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', making it the item's first appearance in a 3D ''Mario'' title. It is the same as in the handheld ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games. However, if someone ground pounds, they can now create a small wave that breaks all nearby blocks and enemies. As in the other games, Mega characters can destroy Warp Pipes.


Although this power-up is absent from the ''Bowser's Fury'' mode of ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', there is an [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury#Giga Mushroom|unused power-up]] in its coding called the ''KinokoGiga'', which translates to "Giga Mushroom". It is almost identical in appearance to the Mega Mushroom, but is larger and has its colors inverted (it has a red cap with yellow spots). It also has a similar albeit more extreme effect on Mario: it transforms Mario into a state that is identical to when he takes damage as [[Giga Cat Mario]].
Just as the Mega Mushroom is about to wear off, unlike in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' or ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' where the character would emit a green light, the music goes a little over-pitched.

Mega Mushrooms can be found in seven levels: [[Super Bell Hill]], [[The Bullet Bill Express]], [[Tricky Trapeze Theater]], [[Rainbow Run]], [[Super Block Land]], [[Gargantuan Grotto]] and [[Gigantic Seasick Wreck]].
In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', players can obtain a Mega Mushroom Statue as a [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|building]] in Kingdom Builder. The Mega Mushroom is on top of an [[Empty Block]]. Two Toads can stand on the statue. It is a 4★ item. Once unlocked, it can be purchased from the Shop for 1500 coins.  It can be won from the Bonus Game in Remix 10 mode, even before unlocking it.

Although the Mega Mushroom does not appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', some mushrooms in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] closely resemble the design of a Mega Mushroom.
In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', the Mega Mushroom is an item obtainable from the [[Item Box]]. When players use this item, they grow bigger and their voice gets much deeper. This item offers the players the ability to squash other players for a certain amount of time, reducing their speed and making them lose their items. While this item is active, the players receive a speed boost and cannot slow down when going off-road, and they are invincible to all dangerous things, except for the [[Star]], [[Bullet Bill]] and [[Blooper]], giving them the power to destroy any items or any course obstacles, except those that are big and metallic (such as [[Chain Chomp]]s).

Mega Mushrooms are items in both the [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Wii version]] and [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|Nintendo DS version]] of ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''. In the console version, Mega Mushrooms are items in [[Dream Ice Hockey]], where they increase the size of the user as well as their defense and speed; [[Dream Curling]], where they increase the size of the stone; and [[Dream Snowball Fight]], where they increase the size of the character, making them twice as resistant and causing all of their snowballs to deal double damage. In the handheld version, Mega Mushrooms are items in [[Curling Bowling]], and similarly to Dream Curling of the Wii version, this increases the size of the stone when it slides over, giving it more power but making it harder to curl.
In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', the Mega Mushroom appears in [[Dream Curling]] and Balloon Blast. The actual item does not appear, but there is an [[Item Box]] that it could be obtained from. The Mega Mushroom makes the character two times his or her original size.

|EngA=This rare mushroom lets you cause maximum destruction—busting down pipes, unbreakable blocks, and any foes in your path. The whole level becomes your stomping ground!
|EngE=Mario becomes whopping great Mega Mario if he scoffs a Mega Mushroom – you'd best stomp everything in your path while you're jumbo size!}}
====''Super Mario 3D World''====
{{multilang profile

{{multilang profile

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart Wii''====
*'''Instruction manual bio:''' ''Mega Mushrooms turn you into a giant for a short time and give you a short speed boost. While huge, you'll flatten any vehicles that get in your way.''
[[File:MKW Mega Mushroom Trading Card.jpg|thumb|100px]]
*'''Trading card bio:''' ''The Mega Mushroom is a new item this time around in the ''Mario Kart'' series. When activated, you and your vehicle will become super-sized for about 10 seconds and will be immune to all attacks from other racers...except those wielding [[Super Star|Star]] power, [[Bullet Bill]] or Lightning.
