Editing Mushroom Platform

|latest_appearance=''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' ([[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]], Wave 2) (2022)

'''Mushroom Platforms''' (originally known as '''Super Mushrooms''')<ref>Hiroo Tochikubo, ''[[How to Win at Super Mario Bros.]]'', Tokuma Shoten, 1987, ISBN 4-19-720003-XC. Page 6.</ref> are giant [[mushroom]]s that appear throughout the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise. True to their name, they are typically used as platforms. In most two-dimensional games, they specifically work as [[Semisolid Platform]]s. They are most often found in large clusters in athletic/sky-themed levels. Short, squat versions also appear in some games.

''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' introduces Super Mushrooms in [[World 4-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-2]]'s [[Warp Zone]] and [[World 4-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-3]], replacing the similar tree-like platforms other athletic areas of the game have. In these two areas, the green or gray secondary scenery palette that overworld areas in the game normally have is replaced by a red and orange palette for the Super Mushrooms, causing the [[Warp Pipe]]s and [[Goal Pole]]s in these areas to appear red and orange themselves. This detail is no longer present in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' rendition of the game, as more palette slots are available at once. Additionally in this version, other Super Mushrooms can be seen in the background of World 4-3. Unlike later 2D games, the Super Mushrooms here are solid on all sides, meaning they cannot be jumped through.

They are completely absent in ''[[Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels]]'', with the secondary athletic platform instead being lengthy clouds, found at the end of [[World 8-2 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 8-2]] (since the [[Goal Pole]] can only be accessed via [[Beanstalk]]), in [[World 8-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 8-3]] (which takes place in the sky), and in [[World A-3]]. However, they do appear in ''[[All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.]]'', where their stalks are broken up into segments. Additionally, the red and orange secondary palette used for them appears in several levels in all but the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version.

 

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'', they appear in World 1-3 of the Vs. and You vs. Boo modes.

In ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', Mushroom Platforms resembling the ones from ''Super Mario Bros.'' appear in [[Himitsu no Course 5]], where they now have striped candy-cane like stalks. Wide, blocky Mushroom Platforms additionally appear in [[Himitsu no Course 1]] and [[Himitsu no Course 4]].

[[File:SM64DS Tall Tall Mountain Star 3.png|thumb|left|Mushroom Platforms in ''Super Mario 64 DS'']]

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]], Mushroom Platforms appear on [[Tall, Tall Mountain]]. They are mentioned in the titles of [[Scary 'Shrooms, Red Coins]] and [[Blast to the Lonely Mushroom]], which are the missions they are most directly involved with. Some also appear on the [[painting]] to the world.

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Mushroom Platforms make up all of the ground on [[Pianta Village]]'s underside, below several climbable nets. One of them contains a [[Secret of the Village Underside|secret area]] full of [[Pianta]]s called "Chucksters." In Pianta Village itself, several red ones have grown through and seem to be used as torches, as they are commonly found with a flame on top. Extinguishing it usually causes a [[coin]] to come out. One of the Mushroom Platforms in the town has a golden cap, and is where the mayor is trapped in [[The Goopy Inferno]].

Mushroom Platforms are found throughout the athletic levels of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', being the primary platform for the level type. They first appear in [[World 1-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-3]], where they come in orange or green, both with yellow spots. Additionally, purple ones can be found later in the game. While most are stationary, some sway back and forth, occasionally moving across the screen while doing so. Several specialized versions appear in the game as well, such as a pink, bouncy one known as the [[Mushroom Trampoline]], as well as [[Stretch Shroom|a blue type with an expanding and contracting cap]], and [[Updown Kinoko|red and yellow ones that move up or down if stood upon]].

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Mushroom Platforms appear again, looking and acting like they did in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They first appear in [[World 1-4 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-4]]. In [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4]], their caps appear covered in snow. Mushroom Trampolines reappear, now with yellow spots, as do the rising and sinking ones, now magenta and cyan, and the pink stretching ones.

Mushroom Platforms appear in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', as platforms in the levels [[Paratroopas in Mushroom Valley]] and [[Lakitu's Revenge]].

 

Mushroom Platforms also appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', in an 8-bit section in [[Bowser's Kingdom]], having a more realistic look and tan and brown color. Standing on them causes them to sink into [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]].

===''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''===

In the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series, Mushroom Platforms first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. In this game, Mushroom Platforms appear in cave levels, with many having much thinner stalks and caps, which curve around more than the blocky squarish ones from most ''Mario'' games. They come in multiple colors, such as red, blue, beige, and purple, and have a whitish center area instead of spots. Thicker ones with triangular caps also exist, and do have spots. Smaller examples of these can come in other colors, such as dark mahogany and dark pine green, while even smaller than that are limited to blue, red, beige, and purple, like the largest ones. Most of both types appear to have a slice out of the cap, but the smaller two versions of the latter type lack these.

====''Donkey Kong 64''====

In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Mushroom Platforms of various sizes appear in [[Fungi Forest]], where most can be climbed like [[tree]]s. An especially large one can even be entered and climbed from the inside.

 

[[File:MKT Mushroom Gorge Cave.png|thumb|Mushroom Trampolines and Platforms in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]

In the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, Mushroom Platforms first appear as a cameo in the background of [[GCN Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' [[Wii Mushroom Gorge|Mushroom Gorge]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' features standard green Mushroom Platforms as traversable objects alongside the more common, red [[Mushroom Trampoline]]s, as well as Mushroom Platforms in the background of the course. The player can bounce off the Mushroom Trampolines to perform [[Jump Boost]]s, though they cannot be performed on Mushroom Platforms except by driving off them in ''Mario Kart Tour''. In ''Mario Kart Tour'', Mushroom Platforms also appear in [[GBA Sky Garden]]'s [[Smash Small Dry Bones]] bonus challenge. In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'', mushroom platforms are present in [[GBA Sky Garden]] and [[Wii Mushroom Gorge]].

Various Mushroom Platforms appear in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' in the area where Mario first arrives in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] after emerging from a [[Warp Pipe]]. He also first encounters [[Toad]] in this area after he surprises him after trying to touch a blue mushroom, claiming that it is poisonous and will kill him before correcting himself and declaring that it is safe to touch.
