Wii: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|date=2009|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|location=Roseville|isbn=978-0-307-46592-4|page=152}}</ref> are [[Mushroom Platform]]s in the ''[[Super Mario]]'' series that debuted in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Unlike stationary Mushroom Platforms or [[Seesaw Shroom]]s, tilting mushrooms sway back and forth all on their own. They typically appear in athletic sky-themed levels, in which their movements necessitate well-timed [[jump]]s. Tilting mushrooms are of varying widths and heights, and their overall design is different between titles.

==History==
===''New Super Mario Bros.''===
Tilting mushrooms appear throughout ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. Tilting mushrooms can be used to reach distance or heightened platforms, collect [[Star Coin]]s, and find secrets. The way they tilt impacts the trajectory of launched [[Koopa Shell]]s that slide along their caps. 

Tilting mushrooms first appear in the sky-themed [[World 1-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-3]] alongside static Mushroom Platforms and [[Mushroom Trampoline]]s. They subsequently occur in [[World 2-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-2]] and [[World 3-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-2]]. They are present in [[List of New Super Mario Bros. pre-release and unused content|prerelease material]].

===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''===
Unstable mushrooms occur only in [[World 8-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-1]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They have dull purple caps with white spots, and a helix of stripes around their stalk. Unlike the first ''New Super Mario Bros.'', these mushrooms are low to the ground and in a lava-themed level with [[volcanic debris]] falling from the sky. Some grow directly out of the [[lava]]. The caps of the unstable mushrooms intercept the debris and can be stood under to avoid contact, but their movements make protection inconsistent. Unless they are in their [[Propeller Mario|Propeller form]], the first Star Coin in the level can only be reached by the player character if they jump off the edge of a very wide unstable mushroom as it tilts to the left.

===''New Super Mario Bros. 2''===

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', tilting mushrooms occur in the sky-themed [[World 1-4 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-4]] and the snow-themed [[World 4-4 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-4]]. The are physically identical to normal Mushroom Platforms, but the caps are always pink with white spots. The way the mushrooms tilt allow Mario (or Luigi) to reach [[? Block]]s, [[coin]]s, [[Gold Ring]]s, and Star Coins, as well as cross gaps. Tilting mushrooms are the only platforms in one of World 1-4's [[sub-area]]s, where the level's second Star Coin is. In World 4-4, they are one of the only platforms other than static Mushroom Platforms and [[Scale Lift]]s available.

===''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''===
Tilting mushrooms appear only in [[Mushroom Heights]] and [[Wiggler Stampede]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]. In this game, they have spots slightly lighter than their caps and a helix of stripes around their stalks, similar to ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. The ones in Mushroom Heights are turquoise, whereas the ones in Wiggler Stampede are a dull purple.

In Mushroom Heights, tilting mushrooms appear alongside normal Mushroom Platforms and pink ones that move up and down, high in the sky. [[Flower (environmental object)|Flowers]] grow out of the caps of some of the wider ones. The tilting mushrooms provide allow the player character to collect [[Hidden Coin]]s and reach taller Mushroom Platforms at the furthest extremes of their tilts. [[Balloon Baby Yoshi]]s can be used to navigate the level without being too reliant on these platforms. The ones in Wiggler Stampede grow out of [[Poison (obstacle)|Poison Bogs]].

Tilting mushrooms appear unaltered in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. They are one of the few objects in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' campaign to not appear in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', though their design is inherited by Mushroom Platforms that move up and down in the level [[Piranha Heights]].
