Appearances outside the Mario Kart series[edit]

The Mushroom Cup also appears in Mario Power Tennis and Mario Superstar Baseball. In Super Mario Strikers, the Mushroom Cup has four teams and three rounds. When the player places in the top three, the Flower Cup and Konga Coliseum are unlocked. A similar cup is the Super Mushroom Cup. In Mario Sports Mix, the Mushroom Cup is the first cup to be played in the tournament.

The Mushroom Cup also makes an appearance in Mario Tennis Open as the first cup of the World Open. It is played on the Mushroom Valley court, and the CPU difficulty is the easiest in the World Open. The cup is the only one to be unlocked from the start, and its matches have one set each for the starting round and semifinals, and three sets for the finals.

The Mushroom Cup reappears as the first cup in the COM Tournament mode of Mario Tennis Aces, and it uses the lowest CPU difficulty of all three cups.
