'''Poison''' is a status effect in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' [[Genre#Role-playing games|role-playing games]] and in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]''. Poisoned characters or enemies take a few [[Heart Point|HP]] worth of damage every turn for a number of turns. Poisoning appears in most games of the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series excluding ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''.

==History==
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
{{multiframe|[[File:Poisoned Geno SMRPG sprite.png]]|Geno inflicted with Poison.|size=75}}
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Poison is one of the few conditions that the party can inflict on enemies. [[Bowser]] is able to do this with his [[Poison Gas]] attack. When poisoned, the affected character turns purple.

Items, Spells and Special Attacks that cause Poison include:
*Items — [[Poison Mushroom|Bad Mushroom]]
*Spells — [[Poison Gas]], "Poison Spell", used by [[Smithy#Second battle|Smithy]] in Box Head form.
*Special Attacks — [[Dark Claw]], [[Poison (move)|Poison]], [[Stench]], [[Thornet]], [[Venom Drool]], [[Viro Plasm]]

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
[[File:PM Poison Battle Icon.gif|thumb|left]]
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', whenever [[Mario]] is poisoned, he turns green and loses 1 HP per turn, for three turns (excluding an [[M. Bush]]'s poison bite, which lasts for two). The player can negate this effect sooner by using items such as [[Fresh Juice|Super Soda]] or [[Tasty Tonic]], using [[Eldstar]]'s [[Refresh]], or winning the battle. Guarding against an attack that inflicts poison or equipping the [[Feeling Fine]] badge blocks it completely. Being afflicted with a poison attack will have a green "splash" effect accompanied by a hollow moaning sound. The player cannot inflict this status ailment against enemies. The following enemies and bosses can poison Mario: [[Pokey Mummy|Pokey Mummies]], [[Bzzap!]]s, [[Hurt Plant]]s, [[M. Bush]]es, [[Putrid Piranha]]s, and [[Bowser]].

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[File:Poison.png|frame|left]]
Poison functions the same way in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch remake]] as it does in the first game, with Mario's partner being able to be inflicted with Poison as well. The duration of this status ailment is nine turns. It can be removed through the use of items (such as [[Tasty Tonic]], [[Fresh Juice]], and [[Healthy Salad]]), through special abilities ([[Sweet Treat]] and [[Sweet Feast]]), or by winning the battle. While the player is unable to directly cause this status ailment, they can do so indirectly by inflicting [[Confused|confusion]] on a foe beforehand (with an attack such as [[Head Rattle]]), and the confused enemy might, if they have any poison attacks, poison other adjacent enemies with such attacks. The following enemies and bosses can cause this ailment: [[Bowser]], [[Putrid Piranha]]s, [[Cortez]]'s Hook, [[Poison Pokey]]s, [[Gloomtail]], [[Beldam]], the [[Shadow Queen]], and [[Poison Puff]]s. Finally, eating a [[Poison Mushroom|Poison Shroom]] causes this status ailment as well as cutting the user's HP in half.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', the heroes lose one HP at a time after every five seconds. A healing item can be used to cure poison, though the poison will go away after a while if left alone. Eating a Poison Shroom will cause this status ailment. The [[Long-Last Shake]] is the only healing item that is not able to cure poison.

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
[[File:PMSS Poisoned Icon.png|frame]]
[[File:PMSS Poisoned Blind Icon.png|frame]]
In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', Poison can be transferred to other enemies. Poisoned characters in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' lose HP equal to 10% of their Max HP. Being poisoned can be caused by eating a [[Poison Mushroom]] or by lining up three Poison Mushrooms on the [[Battle Spin]]. While poisoned, Mario is unable to use defending stickers. For example, using a Tail sticker will still equip itself onto him, though it will come off immediately after he finishes spinning.

However, both [[Poison Blooper]]s and [[Gooper Blooper]] can inflict a special, blinding kind of Poison with their ink (which will make Mario's attacks miss, aside from the normal Poison effect).

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
[[File:Mario Poisoned PM-CS.png|80px|thumb|right|frame|Mario poisoned in ''Color Splash'']]
In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', the only way for Mario to get poisoned is if he gets hit with purple [[paint]] during the battle against [[Roy|Roy Koopa]]. This poison only lasts for one turn, but deals 10 damage to Mario for each card he uses.

===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:Poison SuperMarioKun.jpg|thumb|left|Mario and Goombario poisoned in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'']]
In volume 26 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Mario and Goombario get poisoned after a [[Putrid Piranha]] expels bad breath on them.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
[[File:MLSSDX Poison.png|thumb|Luigi poisoned during a battle with an [[Elite Chuck Guy]] and an [[Oucher Glass]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'']]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', the Mario Bros. can turn gray or pinkish purple in order of the severity of the poison. Some enemies and bosses in that game such as [[Fuzzbush]]es, [[Virus]]es, [[Puffer Cheep]]s ([[Spiny Cheep Cheep]]s in the remake), [[Elite Pestnut]]s, [[Spiky Snifit]]s, [[Elite Chuck Guy]]s, [[Starkiss]]es, [[Sharkbone]]s, [[Glurp]]s, [[Elite Dry Bones]], [[Trunkle]], [[Hermie III]], [[Popple]], and [[Jojora's friends]] can poison Mario or Luigi if their attacks are not properly dodged or [[Counterattack|countered]]. If they turn gray, they lose 2 to 6 HP every turn while turning magenta will take away 4 to 12 HP every turn. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', the affected bro is surrounded with purple clouds, and the status is referred to as 'Poison' and 'Max Poison' respectively; Poison can be inflicted by early-game enemies and deals 10 HP per turn, while Max Poison can be inflicted by late-game enemies and deals 25 HP per turn.

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
[[File:MLPIT Poison.gif|frame|left]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', poison is indicated by that character's color scheme darkening to purple. The victim loses HP every turn unless they faint, use a [[Refreshing Herb]], or until the battle is over/the effect wears off. The damage the poison condition induces becomes greater over time; with the number starting at five or ten, an additional five damage is added every turn. Enemies and bosses like [[Spiny Shroopa]]s, [[Swiggler]], [[Coconutter]]s, [[Red Coconutter]]s, [[Shrooboid Brat]], [[Tanoomba]]s, [[Tashrooba]]s, [[Princess Shroob]], and [[Elder Princess Shroob]] can inflict this status.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
[[File:Bowsers Inside Story Poison.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', poison works the same way it did in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', with the affected turning dark purple in the original game, and turning bright purple with clouds surrounding them in the remake. Enemies like [[Sockop]]s, [[Coalbit]]s (in the remake), [[Piranha Plorp]]s, and [[Stonk]]s can poison Mario and Luigi. Additionally, Bowser has a similar affliction called [[Sick]], which can be inflicted by [[Sniffle Thwomp]]s, [[Naplock]]s, and [[Blizzard Midbus]].

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
The status effect returns in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', working the same way it did in past games. Poisoned characters are surrounded by purple clouds that indicate the status effect.

===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
In ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'', the player's team can be inflicted with this status if hit with the "Poison Mist" attack from a [[Bone Piranha Plant]], or "Poison Smog" from a [[Big Bone Piranha Plant]]. When poisoned, a small purple skull appears on the lower-left corner of the top screen and the team's total HP goes down every turn. Only after clearing a battle or [[Continue|continuing]] after losing a life will the ailment wear off. The Awoken Skill "Poison Barrier" from Big Bone Piranha Plants or from "Blooper & Cheep Cheeps" enemies can reduce the chances of being poisoned, depending on the level of their Awoken Skill.

===''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope''===

{{quote|Targets take damage at the start of their next two turns. [[File:Ooze icon MRSOH.png|13px]] Ooze Super Effect spreads to other targets on contact.|Description|Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope}}
[[File:Ooze icon MRSOH.png|frame]]
In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', a Super Effect named '''Ooze''' functions identically to poison, dealing damage at the start of a character's turn. Characters affected by the Ooze Super Effect can spread it to other characters, simply by touch, unless they are resistant to it. The [[Spark (Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope)|Spark]]s [[Toxiquake]] and [[Toxicomet]] can help the heroes apply the Ooze Super Effect to enemies, as well as protecting them from it. [[Oozer (Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope)|Oozers]] are enemies that can apply the Ooze Super Effect. [[Daphne]] can also cause the effect with her Slimy Swell Technique. The summoned Oozer from the Spark [[Oozer Master]] also causes the Ooze Super Effect.
;List of sources that cause Ooze
*[[Toxiquake]]'s [[Shockwave Ooze]]
*[[Toxicomet]]'s [[Ooze Attack]]
*[[Oozer (Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope)|Oozers']] Slimy Splurt
*[[Daphne]]'s Slimy Swell
*Barrels that contain the Ooze Super Effect
*Green spheres containing the Ooze Super Effect during the [[Darkmess in the Cauldron]] battle
