In most appearances, coming into contact with it will cause the player to instantly lose a life or inflict damage, similarly to [[lava]].

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', the level [[Poison Pond]] takes place in a green toxic pond, though it does not harm them.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', a poisonous liquid appears quickly rising in [[Toxic Tower]]. If [[Rattly]], [[Squawks]] or [[Squitter]] touch the liquid, they take damage until they lose a life. In all three swamp levels ([[Barrel Bayou (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Barrel Bayou]], [[Krockhead Klamber (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Krockhead Klamber]], and [[Mudhole Marsh (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Mudhole Marsh]]), while the water is not shown as poisonous, Diddy and Dixie Kong cannot swim in it and instantly lose a life.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', poison can be found throughout several stages, mostly in the [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5]], the forest world. It retains its appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Koopa Troopas and [[Big Wiggler]]s are resistant to poison.

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', dark green-colored poison is found in [[Boo Moon Galaxy]] (in the [[Boo Moon Galaxy#Sinking Swamp|Sinking Swamp]]) and in [[Mario Squared Galaxy]].

Poison appears in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where it can be found in the [[Sand Kingdom]], the [[Lost Kingdom]], and [[Bowser's Kingdom]]. Poison also appears in several sub-areas in various kingdoms. In Regular Mode, touching it instantly depletes the [[Health Meter]], but if the player uses Assist Mode, Mario will lose one wedge of health and float back in a bubble if he touches it. Mario can safely ride [[Jaxi]] over poison. In the [[Wooded Kingdom]], puddles of poison can be found on the ground, and touching one of the puddles causes Mario to lose a section of his [[Health Meter]]. Throwing [[Cappy]] at a puddle will cause some of it to disappear, which can reveal invisible [[coin]]s.  

[[Poison Piranha Plant]]s and [[Big Poison Piranha Plant]]s can spit poison, which will create puddles when it hits the ground. Poison has a denser, more tar-like consistency in ''Super Mario Odyssey'' than in other titles. [[Spewart]] also spits out poison in his battles.

Poison returns in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', where there is now a green variant featured in palace levels and [[Fungi Mines]]. There are also poison bubbles of varying sizes that appear during certain [[Wonder Effect]]s.

*In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', when Mario falls in poison water, his head rapidly shrinks to the point where it is inside his neck, and the neck itself is longer, being as long as Luigi's. This was made to avoid animation issues, as Mario's head is so big that he could not reach out with his hand without his head being visible.<ref>(August 3, 2016).
