The '''Mystery Mushroom''' is a [[List of power-ups|power-up]] that appears exclusively in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. It resembles the sprite of a [[Super Mushroom]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' with the question mark of a [[? Block]] printed on its cap. When [[Mario]] touches one, he changes appearances to resemble another character or entity, an instance referred to as [[Costume Mario]].

==History==
===''Super Mario Maker''===
A Mystery Mushroom gives Mario the form of one of various costumes, many of which are based on non–''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' [[Nintendo]] characters. Many of the costumes can be unlocked by completing the 100 Mario Challenge mode on a certain difficulty or by scanning any compatible [[amiibo]], while some are unlocked by completing an Event Course.

Upon touching one while playing, Mario takes the appearance of the costume preset to the Mystery Mushroom in editing mode. (If no specific costume for the Mystery Mushroom has been set, Mario transforms into a random character instead.) It has the same effect as an ordinary Super Mushroom as it grants Mario an extra hit point and he can break [[Brick Block]]s, except it maintains or shrinks him down (depending on his current state) to [[Small Mario]]'s size, and also allows him to [[crouch]], which he typically cannot do in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' game style in this size. Costume Mario cannot wear shell helmets.

Mystery Mushrooms are only available in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style of the game, as it is replaced by the [[Super Leaf]], [[Cape Feather]], or [[Propeller Mushroom]] in the other game styles.

The Mystery Mushroom is similar to the character [[cap]]s in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', which also allowed Mario to transform into other characters (and vice-versa). However, while a cap-wearing Mario kept his voice and gained the new character's abilities, Costume Mario keeps [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]'s abilities while gaining the character's voice or sound effects in most cases.

===Unused appearances===
====''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
Mystery Mushrooms have been removed from ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', with the [[Weird Mushroom]] taking its place as the style exclusive power-up, although two glitches, one involving a [[Big Magikoopa]], used to make them appear in-game. When collected, they would turn Mario into Small Mario, but he also has the ability to break blocks, which Small Mario normally cannot do, and can take another hit from enemies. It also showed a different sprite when the player held down on {{button|3ds|paddown}} or {{button|3ds|stick}}.<ref>{{cite|author=Daniel T.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
The Mystery Mushroom would have returned in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' alongside Costume Mario, but they were scrapped from the final game for unknown reasons.<ref>{{cite|author=Smashy|date=March 30, 2022|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak-iSqPvetM|title=UNUSED and CUT Content in Super Mario Maker 2|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 15, 2022}}</ref> However, the version 2.0 update added a [[Master Sword]] power-up that transforms the player into [[Link]] and grants additional abilities.
