'''Mushrooms''' are [[items]] which restore players' health. They appear in most of the RPGs. They are also items in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series.
{{quote|This is a mushroom! Grab these to recover HP.|In-game text|[[Super Paper Mario]]}}
'''Mushrooms''' are recurring items in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Their effect on the player character varies from game to game. They commonly share an appearance with the [[Super Mushroom]]s from the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] and [[Dash Mushroom]]s from the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]].


==History==
==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. 2''===
===''Super Mario Bros. 2'' / ''Super Mario Advance'' ===
Mushrooms add an additional mark/heart to the [[Health Meter|life meter]], to a maximum of four. The meter then resets to two marks at the start of the following stage. Up to two are located in each stage, and are found only in specific [[Subspace]] locations within the stage. In [[Super Mario Advance]], the extra mushroom is added for each level to make the total of five hearts.
[[File:Subspace SMB2.png|thumb|left|A Mushroom in Subspace]]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Mushrooms,<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1988|title=''Super Mario Bros. 2'' instruction booklet|page=19}}</ref> also known as '''Sub-space Mushrooms'''<ref>{{cite|date=1993|title=''Super Mario All-Stars'' Player's Guide|page={{file link|SMAS Guide 88.jpg|88}}|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> (or '''Subspace Mushrooms'''),<ref>{{cite|date=Spring 2001|title=''Nintendo Power Advance'' Volume 1|page=14|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> add an additional mark or heart to the [[Health Meter|Life Gauge]], up to four. Additionally, the Mushrooms also turn [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], and [[Toad]] back into their [[Super Mario (form)|Super forms]] if they are in their [[Small Mario|Small forms]] in the same manner as a Super Mushroom or a [[small heart]], and the Life Gauge is refilled upon collection. Mushrooms are found only in specific [[Subspace]] locations within the stage.


The equivalent to the Mushrooms in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' are hearts.
In ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', an extra mushroom is added to each [[level]], bringing the maximum total to five hearts. During the Yoshi Challenge, two mushrooms in each level are replaced by [[Yoshi's Egg |Yoshi Egg]]s.


===''Mario Kart'' series===
The equivalent to the mushrooms in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' is [[Heart (item)|hearts]].
In ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'', a Mushroom is an item that grants a [[Kart]] a brief burst of speed when used. Mushrooms can come in singles or triplets, the latter providing three Mushrooms to use in a row. In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' a character holds these mushrooms in piles, but if the kart is hit by an item on the road, these mushrooms will fall off and the character will have one remaining on hand. Normally this set appears as default power-ups in time trial mode (excluding ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'') to use specially over shortcuts of a determined course. Another type of Mushroom is the [[Golden Mushroom]], that can be used indefinitely in a restricted period of time.  
{{br|left}}


In recent ''Mario Kart'' games, Mushrooms can be used as well to knock aside other karts or even steal an item from the opponents when coming in contact as seen in ''Double Dash!!''. In later games, this move is not possible to steal items, but works to steal balloons, [[Shine Sprite]]s or [[Coin]]s from other players when playing in Mario battle mode.
===''Mario's Picross''===
[[File:Mario's Picross Mushroom.png|thumb|The Mushroom puzzle]]
In ''[[Mario's Picross]]'', a Mushroom appears in one of the puzzles.


The Mushroom is also used as the logo for the [[Mushroom Cup]] in every ''Mario Kart'' game to date.
===''Mario Clash''===
[[File:MC Mushroom.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Mario Clash]]'', defeating 30 target enemies causes a Mushroom to spawn from the pipes. This item initiates Fever Time, allowing Mario to defeat any enemy with a single throw and doubling all [[point]]s. The effect ends if Mario loses a life or the shell and when he finishes the stage.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', a basic Mushroom recovers 30 [[HP]] for one party member. This Mushroom had a red and white cap with an orange stem (and no face). The Mid Mushroom, as a result of also being more expensive, is that they recover 80 HP to one party member.
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', a basic Mushroom can be accumulated in the inventory and recovers 30 [[Heart Point|HP]] for one party member. This Mushroom has a red and white cap with an orange stem and no face. However, mushrooms that have faces are found in [[treasure chest#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|treasure box]]es, and they automatically recover all HP and [[Flower Point|FP]] for [[Mario]]'s entire party once uncovered. Most of these treasure boxes restock once the area is entered again. Other types of mushrooms exist, including two other increasingly expensive kinds used for basic recovery. The [[Super Mushroom|Mid Mushroom]] recovers 80 HP to one party member, and they have a green cap rather than a red one. The [[Ultra Mushroom|Max Mushroom]] is able to recover all HP to one party member and has a yellow cap. In the Japanese version, the Mid Mushroom and Max Mushroom are respectively known as Super Mushroom and Ultra Mushroom, which would become the terminology used in future RPGs.
Mid Mushrooms differ in appearance from the regular Mushroom, having a green cap rather than a red one. The Max Mushroom, being the greatest one of them all, is able to recover all HP to one party member. They have a yellow cap, different from all other Mushrooms. The bad Mushroom, only found in [[Seaside Town]], does not recover HP and is used only in battle. When used, they poison an enemy of choice, but some enemies don't get poisoned, so it is not that useful. They have the same appearance as a regular Mushroom in the game. However, Mushrooms that are found in [[Treasure Box]]es recovers all HP and [[FP]] for Mario's entire party. These Mushrooms are used as soon as they are picked up. Additionally, these powerful Mushrooms have faces. Also, most Mushroom Treasure Chests restock with every selection of a certain area. A special type of Mushroom is sold by the [[Goombette]] [[Triplets]] at the shop in [[Monstro Town]]. These Mushrooms, apart from restoring 30 HP, also turn the user into a Mushroom during battle.


A [[Mushroom (status effect)|particular status ailment]] turns characters into a Mushroom. While a Mushroom, the character recovers health every turn, but is completely immobilized. Like the Mushrooms from the Treasure Chest, they also have faces on them.
There are mushrooms indistinguishable in appearance but instead cause negative effects on allies and adversaries alike. The [[Poison_Mushroom#Super_Mario_RPG:_Legend_of_the_Seven_Stars|Bad Mushroom]], only found in [[Seaside Town]], does not recover HP and is used only in battle. When used, they poison an enemy of choice, but some enemies are resistant. Another mushroom is sold by the [[Mini Goomba]] [[Triplets]] at the shop in [[Monstro Town]]. These mushrooms, apart from restoring 30 HP, actually turn the user into a [[Mushroom (status effect)|Mushroom]] (a status ailment also caused by certain enemy actions). While a mushroom, the character recovers health every turn, but is completely immobilized.


===''Mario Party'' series===
===''Mario Party'' series===
Mushrooms appear as items in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. The first time they appear is in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' (where they are Mario's favourite item), and they have reappeared in other ''Mario Party'' titles. In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', and ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', the item is not present (although there are similar items, such as ''Mario Party 4''{{'}}s [[Mega Mushroom]], and ''Mario Party 8'''s [[Twice Candy]]). They allow for two rolls of the [[Dice Block]] during one turn. If the two digits rolled are the same, the user will receive ten Coins. If players want to purchase this item, the price will usually be five Coins.
:''For a list of probabilities of Double Dice Block rolls with Mushrooms, see [[Double Dice#Probabilities|Double Dice § Probabilities]].''

They usually allow for two rolls of the [[Dice Block]] during one turn. If the two digits rolled are the same, the player will receive ten coins. If the player rolls two sevens, they will receive twenty coins. Mushrooms usually cost five coins to purchase.
In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', their effect is different. In this installment, Mushrooms allow the player to roll the Dice Block. Each turn, a Mushroom will be depleted from the stock. For players to win Mushrooms, they have to win minigames. Players will usually receive three Mushrooms when they win a minigame, although there are cases in which the award for winning a minigame will be six Mushrooms. The game ends when the player doesn't have any Mushrooms left.
 
===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''====
Mushrooms are the basic item for healing in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They are the cheapest item found in stores and the first item obtained. Their colouring is reversed in this game, with their caps being white with red spots; they also lack faces. Regular Mushrooms restore 25 HP, Super Mushrooms restore 50 HP, Ultra Mushrooms restore 120 HP, and Max Mushrooms restore all HP. Five special [[Golden Mushroom]]s can also be found in the game; the rare item restores all HP and BP. [[Badge|Shroom Badges]] that can be purchased at certain shops will increase Mario and Luigi's attack according to the number of Mushrooms in their inventory.
 
A unique mushroom called the [[Invincishroom]] can be found only when the player has beaten the high score of a certain minigame. The player cannot use it, however, because Mario eats it as soon as he and Luigi win it, causing him to become very sick and slowly turn into a [[bean]]. Luigi cures Mario by giving him [[Crabbie Grass]], which is found in [[Guffawha Ruins]].


====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', their effect is different. In this installment, Mushrooms allow the player to roll the Dice Block. Each turn, a Mushroom will be depleted from the stock. For players to win Mushrooms, they have to win minigames. Players will usually receive three Mushrooms when they win a minigame, although there are cases in which the award for winning a minigame will be six Mushrooms. The game ends when the player has no Mushrooms left.
Mushrooms act in the same manner as in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''; they restore HP for one member. While the Max Mushroom is still the same, the regular, Super and Ultra mushrooms heals 20HP, 40HP and 80HP respectively. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', there are also items called [[Mushroom Drop]]s, which will every single member on the team, very much like the [[Nut]]s in ''Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga''. Unlike Max Mushroom and Max Nuts, however, there is nothing more powerful than Ultra Drops. Shroom Badges make a return, but with a different effect: they now increase the healing effects of a Mushroom.


[[Shroobs]], the main enemies in this game, bear a resemblance to Mushrooms. They have the same mushroom shape and spots, and they even live on a planet shaped like a mushroom.
In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', Mushrooms appear in the [[Fungi Frenzy]] [[minigame]], where 1-3 of them are contained in each panel.  


====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''====
In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', they appear in the minigame [[Movin' Mushrooms]]. If it falls into a cart, the respective team gains one point.
Mushrooms return, but Mushroom Drops are replaced in favor of the original ''Mario & Luigi'' series Nuts. Mushrooms act in the same manner as in the two preceding games. Mushrooms in this game heal 30HP, Super Mushrooms heal 60HP, Ultra Mushrooms 120HP, and Max Mushrooms heal 240HP instead of all HP like in the previous installments.


Also, there was a [[Clothing]] item called the Mushroom Glove, which would have a random mushroom be consumed every turn to the bro. that has the glove.
In ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', Mushrooms return as items, costing three coins to purchase. Due to their role of providing a second Dice Block being supplanted by the [[Double Dice]], Mushrooms instead function similarly to [[Dash Mushroom]]s and [[Golden Dash Mushroom]]s in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', adding five spaces to the user's dice roll.
[[Bowser]] does not eat mushrooms unless:
*A Goomba/Bob-omb from a [[Jailgoon]], A Trashure or Dark Trashure or a Naplock gives it.
*The Refreshrooms that recover half of Giant Bowser's Health Meter.


====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
===''Mario Tennis'' series===
Mushrooms return and this time, it can be used anywhere. Regular Mushrooms heal 30 HP, Super Mushrooms 60, Ultra Mushrooms 100, and Max Mushrooms 160. If Shroom EXP is used, then the value of the HP healed from using Mushrooms during the battle will be converted to EXP at the end, but with a 50% bonus. Mushrooms add 45 EXP, Super adds 90, Ultra adds 150 and Max adds 240 EXP.
Mushrooms appear in the games ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], and ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and [[Wii]]. These staples can be used during an Item Battle match, which can be obtained when the player hits an [[Item Box]] with the ball over the net. In both games, Mushrooms make players run faster, but in the latter game, they can also grow players who have been shrunk by lightning back to normal size. In ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], tennis gear for Miis is designed based on a Mushroom. It is the emblem of the Mushroom Cup for all the previously mentioned games.

In ''Paper Mario'', mushrooms act like healing items, just like the other Mario RPG games. In this game, they heal 5 HP when used. Several variations of mushrooms could be found, such as the [[Volt Shroom]] or the [[Life Shroom]]. Recipes can also be made for other types of Mushrooms by combining certain ingredients together by Tayce T.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
Mushrooms return in the ''Paper Mario'' sequel, ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They have the same manner in healing as in the prequel. Yet now that Mario's partners have HP, mushrooms can restore a partner's HP also. The many variations of Mushrooms from the prequel return, with the addition to the [[Slow Shroom]]. Small creatures named [[Puni]]es commonly eat Mushrooms, shown by brother and sister [[Punio]] and [[Petuni]]. At the end of the game, Punio and Petuni give both Mario & Peach a Mushroom to enjoy on their boat ride home.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
====''Super Paper Mario''====
''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' is a platformer RPG game, so unlike in the preceding games, Mushrooms cannot be bought in shops. Instead, they are found out of [[Question Block|? Blocks]] and heal ten HP upon contact. They also give the player one thousand points. Replacing them is the [[Shroom Shake]].
Unlike in the preceding games, Mushrooms cannot be bought in shops in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Instead, they are found out of [[? Block]]s and heal ten HP upon contact. They also give the player 1000 [[point]]s. Their carry-on equivalent is the [[Shroom Shake]].


====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
In the latest installment of the ''Paper Mario'' series, ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', Mushrooms appear, much like every other item, as stickers. They restore 20 HP, but if the {{button|3ds|A}} button is pressed with good timing, the effect can be increased to 30. Two stronger Mushroom stickers also exist: the Shiny Mushroom, which acts like a Super Shroom, which restores 40 or 60 HP, and the Flashy Mushroom, which acts like an Ultra Shroom, which restores 80 or 99 HP. Big 1UP and Big Shiny 1UP stickers also appear, restoring 10 or 15 HP for 10 turns, respectively, and [[Poison Mushroom]]s, which poison Mario, but enemies also get poisoned if they touch him.
[[File:MushroomPMSS.png|frame]]
In the fourth game of the ''Paper Mario'' series, ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', Mushrooms appear, much like every other item, as [[sticker]]s. They restore 20 HP, but if the {{button|3ds|A}} button is pressed with good timing, the effect can be increased to 30. Two stronger Mushroom stickers also exist: the [[Shiny Mushroom]], which acts like a Super Shroom, which restores 40 or 60 HP, and the [[Flashy Mushroom]], which acts like an Ultra Shroom, which restores 80 or 99 HP. Big 1UP and Big Shiny 1UP stickers also appear, restoring 10 or 15 HP for 10 turns, respectively, as do [[Poison Mushroom]]s, which [[Poison (status effect)|poison]] Mario, but enemies also get poisoned if they touch him. It can be found in several levels and bought in [[Decalburg]] and [[Whammino Mountain]]. It is set in the Sticker Museum as #79.
 
====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', Mushrooms appear as [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)|card]]s. They use up red paint when colored in, restore a small amount of HP when used, and cost 20 coins at [[Prisma Cardware]]. In addition to regular Mushrooms, Big Mushroom and Mega Mushroom cards also appear, which cost 70 and 150 coins respectively and restore more HP.
 
====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
{{Quote|Who likes Mushrooms? ME!|Toad|Paper Mario: The Origami King}}
Mushrooms reprise their roles in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', with their [[Shiny]] and Flashy variants returning from ''Sticker Star''. This time, however, they don't appear as stickers, but in a physical, papercraft form. The regular mushroom is the most common and heals 50 HP, while the Shiny version heals 100 HP. When used in battle, they will occupy one of Mario's attack slots. All three variants can be found in [[? Block]]s throughout the game, and after one is found in the world, it then becomes available at [[Toad Town]]'s item shop. They can also be bought at [[Overlook Tower]] and [[Big Sho' Theater]]. Mario can hold up to 99 Mushrooms, and unlike in the previous two games, they can be used outside of battle in almost any area. However, they are banned from [[Scuffle Island]], cannot be used while riding down [[Eddy River]], and will be burned by a [[Fire Vellumental]] statue when fighting the [[Paper Macho Shy Guy]]s in the [[Fire Vellumental Cave]]. The [[Mushroom 3-Pack]] and [[Mushroom 6-Pack]] (which have Shiny variants of their own) are bulk items that can be bought in stores for a cheaper price than buying Mushrooms individually.

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
[[File:MLSuperstarSagaMushroom.png|frame|right]]
Mushrooms are the basic item for healing in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They are the cheapest item found in stores and the first item obtained. Their coloring is reversed in this game, with their caps being white with red spots; they also lack faces. Regular Mushrooms restore 25 HP, [[Super Mushroom]]s restore 50 HP, [[Ultra Mushroom]]s restore 120 HP, and [[Max Mushroom]]s restore all HP. Five special [[Golden Mushroom (crownless)|Golden Mushroom]]s can also be found in the game; the rare item restores all HP and BP. [[Badge|Shroom Badges]] and [[List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|Shroom clothings]] that can be purchased at certain shops will increase Mario and Luigi's stats according to the number of Mushrooms in their inventory.
 
A unique mushroom called the [[Invincishroom]] (claimed to be a mix of [[1-Up Mushroom]]s and [[Star]]s, but in the remake, it was actually a [[Poison Mushroom]], as confirmed in the Minion Quest side mode) can be found only when the player has beaten the high score of a [[Star 'Stache Smash|certain minigame]]. The player cannot use it, however, because Mario eats it as soon as he and Luigi win it, causing him to become very sick and slowly turn into a [[bean]]. Luigi cures Mario by giving him [[Crabbie Grass]], which is found in [[Guffawha Ruins]].
 
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', regular Mushrooms heal 30 HP instead of 25 HP, Ultra Mushrooms heal 80 HP instead of 120 HP, and their designs are changed to be the standard design, as in the other ''Mario & Luigi'' games.
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
[[File:MaL PiT Mushroom.png|frame|right]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', Mushrooms act in the same manner as in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''; they restore HP for one member. While the Max Mushroom is still the same, the regular, Super, and Ultra Mushrooms heal 20 HP, 40 HP, and 80 HP, respectively. There are also items called [[Mushroom Drop]]s, which will heal every single member on the team, very much like the [[Nut]]s in ''Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga''. Unlike Max Mushroom and Max Nuts, however, there is nothing more powerful than Ultra Drops. Shroom Badges make a return, but with a different effect: they now increase the healing effects of a Mushroom.
 
[[Shroob]]s, the main enemies in this game, bear a resemblance to Mushrooms. They have the same mushroom shape and spots, and they even live on a planet shaped like a mushroom.
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
[[File:Mushroom BiS.png|frame|right]]
Mushrooms return in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]], but Mushroom Drops are replaced in favor of the original ''Mario & Luigi'' series Nuts. Mushrooms act in the same manner as in the two preceding games. Mushrooms in this game heal 30 HP, Super Mushrooms heal 60 HP, Ultra Mushrooms 120 HP, and Max Mushrooms heal 240 HP instead of all HP like in the previous installments.
 
Also, there was a [[List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|clothing]] item called the Mushroom Glove, which would have a random mushroom be consumed every turn to the one wearing the glove.
 
[[Bowser]] does not eat mushrooms unless a Goomba/Bob-omb from a [[Jailgoon]] or the [[Broque Monsieur]] "fight", a [[Trashure]] or [[Dark Trashure]], or a [[Naplock]] gives him one, or he uses [[Refreshroom]]s (simply referred to as "Mushroom" in the remake), which recover half of his Health Meter (only when he is [[Giant Bowser]]).
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
[[File:M&LDT Mushroom.png|frame|right]]
Mushrooms return in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Regular Mushrooms heal 30 HP, Super Mushrooms heal 60 HP, Ultra Mushrooms heal 100 HP, and Max Mushrooms heal 160 HP. If Shroom EXP is used, then the value of the HP healed from using Mushrooms during battle will be converted to EXP at the end, but with a 50% bonus. Regular Mushrooms add 45 EXP, Super Mushrooms add 90, Ultra Mushrooms add 150, and Max Mushrooms add 240.
 
During giant battles, Mario and [[Giant Luigi]] can use the [[Bros. Attack]] [[Rhythm Mushroom]]. In it, Mario throws a number of Mushrooms into the air for Giant Luigi to eat and recover HP.
 
Some enemies or their associated battles involve Mushrooms. [[Lakitu]] and [[Lakitu R]] may throw a Mushroom at Mario instead of a [[Spiny Egg]]. [[Popple]] has an attack where he kicks a number of items at Mario and Luigi, which may include a Mushroom. When the [[Zeekeeper]] and [[Zeekeeper X]] use their egg dropping attack late in the battle, a Mushroom may appear among the eggs. If Mario or Luigi/Giant Luigi let these attacks hit them instead of [[Counterattack|countering]] the Mushroom, the Mushroom will heal them. [[Corporal Paraplonk]] uses Mushrooms to heal the other members of the [[Elite Trio]], as does [[Corporal Paraplonk X]] for the [[Elite Trio X]]. In [[Giant Bowser|Bowser]]'s battle in [[Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle]], the second to last phase has Mushrooms appear that either Bowser or Giant Luigi can pick up for healing. [[Bowser X]]'s equivalent battle has the same event.
 
All Mushrooms in giant battles are substantially larger than Mushrooms outside of giant battles.
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
Mushrooms return in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. Just like in the previous game, the four types are regular (+30 HP), Super (+60 HP), Ultra (+100 HP), and Max (+160 HP).
 
===''Mario Golf: World Tour''===
Mushrooms are usable item shots in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''. They make the ball roll much farther when they hit the ground. They are also seen as tee markers on the Toad Highlands golf course. Trophies for Castle Club tournaments, and the lampposts of the building's exterior, have models of Mushrooms. The Mushrooms are red on regional tournament trophies and their spots are the trophy's color, while on world tournament trophies, the Mushrooms have crowns on them and are completely colored like the rest of the trophy.
 
===''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''===
Mushrooms appear in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'' as healing items between battles during levels. Once collected, they heal all active party members 70 HP. The amount of HP healed to Mario can be upgraded via the skill tree, although it remains unchanged for other party members.
 
===''WarioWare: Get It Together!''===
In ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', a Mushroom appears as one of the obstacles spat out by [[Wario]] in the [[microgame]] [[Inside the Storm]]. It is depicted as a yellow Mushroom with Wario's mustache and no eyes.

Mushrooms are recurring items in the Super Mario franchise. Their effect on the player character varies from game to game. They commonly share an appearance with the Super Mushrooms from the Super Mario series and Dash Mushrooms from the Mario Kart series.

History[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 2 / Super Mario Advance[edit]

A Mushroom in Subspace

In Super Mario Bros. 2, Mushrooms,[1] also known as Sub-space Mushrooms[2] (or Subspace Mushrooms),[3] add an additional mark or heart to the Life Gauge, up to four. Additionally, the Mushrooms also turn Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad back into their Super forms if they are in their Small forms in the same manner as a Super Mushroom or a small heart, and the Life Gauge is refilled upon collection. Mushrooms are found only in specific Subspace locations within the stage.

In Super Mario Advance, an extra mushroom is added to each level, bringing the maximum total to five hearts. During the Yoshi Challenge, two mushrooms in each level are replaced by Yoshi Eggs.

The equivalent to the mushrooms in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic is hearts.

Mario's Picross[edit]

In Mario's Picross, a Mushroom appears in one of the puzzles.

Mario Clash[edit]

Sprite of a Mushroom from Mario Clash

In Mario Clash, defeating 30 target enemies causes a Mushroom to spawn from the pipes. This item initiates Fever Time, allowing Mario to defeat any enemy with a single throw and doubling all points. The effect ends if Mario loses a life or the shell and when he finishes the stage.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, a basic Mushroom can be accumulated in the inventory and recovers 30 HP for one party member. This Mushroom has a red and white cap with an orange stem and no face. However, mushrooms that have faces are found in treasure boxes, and they automatically recover all HP and FP for Mario's entire party once uncovered. Most of these treasure boxes restock once the area is entered again. Other types of mushrooms exist, including two other increasingly expensive kinds used for basic recovery. The Mid Mushroom recovers 80 HP to one party member, and they have a green cap rather than a red one. The Max Mushroom is able to recover all HP to one party member and has a yellow cap. In the Japanese version, the Mid Mushroom and Max Mushroom are respectively known as Super Mushroom and Ultra Mushroom, which would become the terminology used in future RPGs.

There are mushrooms indistinguishable in appearance but instead cause negative effects on allies and adversaries alike. The Bad Mushroom, only found in Seaside Town, does not recover HP and is used only in battle. When used, they poison an enemy of choice, but some enemies are resistant. Another mushroom is sold by the Mini Goomba Triplets at the shop in Monstro Town. These mushrooms, apart from restoring 30 HP, actually turn the user into a Mushroom (a status ailment also caused by certain enemy actions). While a mushroom, the character recovers health every turn, but is completely immobilized.

Mario Party series[edit]

For a list of probabilities of Double Dice Block rolls with Mushrooms, see Double Dice § Probabilities.

Mushrooms appear as items in the Mario Party series. The first time they appear in the series is in Mario Party 2 (where they are Mario's favorite item), and they have reappeared in other Mario Party titles. In Mario Party 4, Mario Party DS, and Mario Party 8, the item is not present (although there are similar items, such as Mario Party 4's Mega Mushroom and Mario Party 8's Twice Candy). They usually allow for two rolls of the Dice Block during one turn. If the two digits rolled are the same, the player will receive ten coins. If the player rolls two sevens, they will receive twenty coins. Mushrooms usually cost five coins to purchase.

In Mario Party Advance, their effect is different. In this installment, Mushrooms allow the player to roll the Dice Block. Each turn, a Mushroom will be depleted from the stock. For players to win Mushrooms, they have to win minigames. Players will usually receive three Mushrooms when they win a minigame, although there are cases in which the award for winning a minigame will be six Mushrooms. The game ends when the player has no Mushrooms left.

In Mario Party 9, Mushrooms appear in the Fungi Frenzy minigame, where 1-3 of them are contained in each panel.

In Mario Party 10, they appear in the minigame Movin' Mushrooms. If it falls into a cart, the respective team gains one point.

In Mario Party Superstars and Super Mario Party Jamboree, Mushrooms return as items, costing three coins to purchase. Due to their role of providing a second Dice Block being supplanted by the Double Dice, Mushrooms instead function similarly to Dash Mushrooms and Golden Dash Mushrooms in Mario Party: Island Tour, Mario Party: Star Rush, Mario Party: The Top 100, Super Mario Party, adding five spaces to the user's dice roll.

Mario Tennis series[edit]

Mushrooms appear in the games Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64, and Mario Power Tennis for the Nintendo GameCube and Wii. These staples can be used during an Item Battle match, which can be obtained when the player hits an Item Box with the ball over the net. In both games, Mushrooms make players run faster, but in the latter game, they can also grow players who have been shrunk by lightning back to normal size. In Mario Tennis Open for the Nintendo 3DS, tennis gear for Miis is designed based on a Mushroom. It is the emblem of the Mushroom Cup for all the previously mentioned games.

Paper Mario series[edit]

The Thousand-Year Door description A feel-good mushroom. Replenishes 5 HP.

Paper Mario[edit]

In Paper Mario, Mushrooms act as healing items, as in other Super Mario RPGs. In this game, they heal 5 HP when used. Several variations of Mushrooms can be found, such as Volt Shrooms and Life Shrooms. Recipes can also be made for other types of Mushrooms by combining certain ingredients together by Tayce T.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

Mushrooms return in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They heal in the same manner as in the previous game, with the addition that - now that Mario's partners have HP - mushrooms can restore a partner's HP also.

The many variations of Mushrooms from the previous game return, with the addition of Slow Mushrooms. Small creatures named Punies commonly eat Mushrooms, shown by brother and sister Punio and Petuni. At the end of the game, Punio and Petuni give both Mario & Peach a Mushroom to enjoy on their boat ride home. In addition, the Excess Express is said to serve mushroom dishes.

Super Paper Mario[edit]

Unlike in the preceding games, Mushrooms cannot be bought in shops in Super Paper Mario. Instead, they are found out of ? Blocks and heal ten HP upon contact. They also give the player 1000 points. Their carry-on equivalent is the Shroom Shake.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star[edit]

MushroomPMSS.png

In the fourth game of the Paper Mario series, Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Mushrooms appear, much like every other item, as stickers. They restore 20 HP, but if the A Button button is pressed with good timing, the effect can be increased to 30. Two stronger Mushroom stickers also exist: the Shiny Mushroom, which acts like a Super Shroom, which restores 40 or 60 HP, and the Flashy Mushroom, which acts like an Ultra Shroom, which restores 80 or 99 HP. Big 1UP and Big Shiny 1UP stickers also appear, restoring 10 or 15 HP for 10 turns, respectively, as do Poison Mushrooms, which poison Mario, but enemies also get poisoned if they touch him. It can be found in several levels and bought in Decalburg and Whammino Mountain. It is set in the Sticker Museum as #79.

Paper Mario: Color Splash[edit]

In Paper Mario: Color Splash, Mushrooms appear as cards. They use up red paint when colored in, restore a small amount of HP when used, and cost 20 coins at Prisma Cardware. In addition to regular Mushrooms, Big Mushroom and Mega Mushroom cards also appear, which cost 70 and 150 coins respectively and restore more HP.

Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]

“Who likes Mushrooms? ME!”
Toad, Paper Mario: The Origami King

Mushrooms reprise their roles in Paper Mario: The Origami King, with their Shiny and Flashy variants returning from Sticker Star. This time, however, they don't appear as stickers, but in a physical, papercraft form. The regular mushroom is the most common and heals 50 HP, while the Shiny version heals 100 HP. When used in battle, they will occupy one of Mario's attack slots. All three variants can be found in ? Blocks throughout the game, and after one is found in the world, it then becomes available at Toad Town's item shop. They can also be bought at Overlook Tower and Big Sho' Theater. Mario can hold up to 99 Mushrooms, and unlike in the previous two games, they can be used outside of battle in almost any area. However, they are banned from Scuffle Island, cannot be used while riding down Eddy River, and will be burned by a Fire Vellumental statue when fighting the Paper Macho Shy Guys in the Fire Vellumental Cave. The Mushroom 3-Pack and Mushroom 6-Pack (which have Shiny variants of their own) are bulk items that can be bought in stores for a cheaper price than buying Mushrooms individually.

Mario & Luigi series[edit]

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]

Mushroom

Mushrooms are the basic item for healing in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. They are the cheapest item found in stores and the first item obtained. Their coloring is reversed in this game, with their caps being white with red spots; they also lack faces. Regular Mushrooms restore 25 HP, Super Mushrooms restore 50 HP, Ultra Mushrooms restore 120 HP, and Max Mushrooms restore all HP. Five special Golden Mushrooms can also be found in the game; the rare item restores all HP and BP. Shroom Badges and Shroom clothings that can be purchased at certain shops will increase Mario and Luigi's stats according to the number of Mushrooms in their inventory.

A unique mushroom called the Invincishroom (claimed to be a mix of 1-Up Mushrooms and Stars, but in the remake, it was actually a Poison Mushroom, as confirmed in the Minion Quest side mode) can be found only when the player has beaten the high score of a certain minigame. The player cannot use it, however, because Mario eats it as soon as he and Luigi win it, causing him to become very sick and slowly turn into a bean. Luigi cures Mario by giving him Crabbie Grass, which is found in Guffawha Ruins.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, regular Mushrooms heal 30 HP instead of 25 HP, Ultra Mushrooms heal 80 HP instead of 120 HP, and their designs are changed to be the standard design, as in the other Mario & Luigi games.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]

A Mushroom from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.

In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Mushrooms act in the same manner as in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga; they restore HP for one member. While the Max Mushroom is still the same, the regular, Super, and Ultra Mushrooms heal 20 HP, 40 HP, and 80 HP, respectively. There are also items called Mushroom Drops, which will heal every single member on the team, very much like the Nuts in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. Unlike Max Mushroom and Max Nuts, however, there is nothing more powerful than Ultra Drops. Shroom Badges make a return, but with a different effect: they now increase the healing effects of a Mushroom.

Shroobs, the main enemies in this game, bear a resemblance to Mushrooms. They have the same mushroom shape and spots, and they even live on a planet shaped like a mushroom.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey[edit]

Icon of a Mushroom

Mushrooms return in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake, but Mushroom Drops are replaced in favor of the original Mario & Luigi series Nuts. Mushrooms act in the same manner as in the two preceding games. Mushrooms in this game heal 30 HP, Super Mushrooms heal 60 HP, Ultra Mushrooms 120 HP, and Max Mushrooms heal 240 HP instead of all HP like in the previous installments.

Also, there was a clothing item called the Mushroom Glove, which would have a random mushroom be consumed every turn to the one wearing the glove.

Bowser does not eat mushrooms unless a Goomba/Bob-omb from a Jailgoon or the Broque Monsieur "fight", a Trashure or Dark Trashure, or a Naplock gives him one, or he uses Refreshrooms (simply referred to as "Mushroom" in the remake), which recover half of his Health Meter (only when he is Giant Bowser).

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[edit]

Icon for the Mushrooms in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

Mushrooms return in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. Regular Mushrooms heal 30 HP, Super Mushrooms heal 60 HP, Ultra Mushrooms heal 100 HP, and Max Mushrooms heal 160 HP. If Shroom EXP is used, then the value of the HP healed from using Mushrooms during battle will be converted to EXP at the end, but with a 50% bonus. Regular Mushrooms add 45 EXP, Super Mushrooms add 90, Ultra Mushrooms add 150, and Max Mushrooms add 240.

During giant battles, Mario and Giant Luigi can use the Bros. Attack Rhythm Mushroom. In it, Mario throws a number of Mushrooms into the air for Giant Luigi to eat and recover HP.

Some enemies or their associated battles involve Mushrooms. Lakitu and Lakitu R may throw a Mushroom at Mario instead of a Spiny Egg. Popple has an attack where he kicks a number of items at Mario and Luigi, which may include a Mushroom. When the Zeekeeper and Zeekeeper X use their egg dropping attack late in the battle, a Mushroom may appear among the eggs. If Mario or Luigi/Giant Luigi let these attacks hit them instead of countering the Mushroom, the Mushroom will heal them. Corporal Paraplonk uses Mushrooms to heal the other members of the Elite Trio, as does Corporal Paraplonk X for the Elite Trio X. In Bowser's battle in Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle, the second to last phase has Mushrooms appear that either Bowser or Giant Luigi can pick up for healing. Bowser X's equivalent battle has the same event.

All Mushrooms in giant battles are substantially larger than Mushrooms outside of giant battles.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[edit]

Mushrooms return in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. Just like in the previous game, the four types are regular (+30 HP), Super (+60 HP), Ultra (+100 HP), and Max (+160 HP).

Mario Golf: World Tour[edit]

Mushrooms are usable item shots in Mario Golf: World Tour. They make the ball roll much farther when they hit the ground. They are also seen as tee markers on the Toad Highlands golf course. Trophies for Castle Club tournaments, and the lampposts of the building's exterior, have models of Mushrooms. The Mushrooms are red on regional tournament trophies and their spots are the trophy's color, while on world tournament trophies, the Mushrooms have crowns on them and are completely colored like the rest of the trophy.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle[edit]

Mushrooms appear in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle as healing items between battles during levels. Once collected, they heal all active party members 70 HP. The amount of HP healed to Mario can be upgraded via the skill tree, although it remains unchanged for other party members.

WarioWare: Get It Together![edit]

In WarioWare: Get It Together!, a Mushroom appears as one of the obstacles spat out by Wario in the microgame Inside the Storm. It is depicted as a yellow Mushroom with Wario's mustache and no eyes.
