'''Mushrooms''' are a common item found in nearly every [[Mario]] game to date. Different types of mushrooms have different effects. Even the [[Toad (species)|Toad people]] are a type of humanoid mushrooms. The idea for mushrooms were inspired by the mushroom that Alice eats in "Alice in Wonderland", one side to make her larger, and the other smaller--this is a reference to the effects felt when a person is blooming on psilocybin mushrooms. The ''[[Poison Mushroom]]'' found in  ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' is also a reference to this; it is possibly a reference to a "bad trip."

'''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.

====''Super Mario Bros.====
[[File:Subspace SMB2.png|thumb|left|A Mushroom in Subspace]]
''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' was the first Mario game to feature mushrooms. They are the most common items found in the game and touching them will make Mario grow to Super Mario. When Mario is Super Mario, he can take one more hit from an enemy and revert back to normal Mario before losing a life, and gains the ability to break brick blocks. When Mario already has a mushroom, usually a [[Fire Flower]] appears in place.
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.


1-up Mushrooms also appear. They are quite rare and sometimes tough to obtain; some are in life-threatening situations while others are found in hidden blocks that are invisible until Mario hits them.
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.


====''Super Mario Bros. 2====
The equivalent to the mushrooms in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' is [[Heart (item)|hearts]].
Mushrooms acted almost the same prior to Super Mario Bros. in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' except that the game was taken directly from Doki Doki Panic and mushrooms replaced masks in order to gain an extra heart. Plus, a 1 mushroom appears that replaces the effect of a heart in Doki Doki Panic which will grant the character one life. The game also featured small mushrooms which could be picked up and stacked to reach high places.

====''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels====
===''Mario's Picross''===
''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' was very similar to Super Mario Bros. in terms of gameplay and items, and the Mushroom returns, but there is one new addition of mushrooms: the Poison Mushroom. When Mario touches it, he will either power down or lose a life. The Poison Mushroom also looks similar to a regular Mushroom, except that it is slightly discolored. Poison Mushrooms may even pop out of hidden blocks.
[[File:Mario's Picross Mushroom.png|thumb|The Mushroom puzzle]]
In ''[[Mario's Picross]]'', a Mushroom appears in one of the puzzles.


====''Super Mario Bros. 3====
===''Mario Clash''===
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Mushrooms and Life Mushrooms make a return appearance in this game. Comparing from this game to Super Mario Bros., no actual changes had been made in effect except that eyes got added to the sprites of the mushrooms.
[[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.
{{br|left}}


====''Super Mario World====
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
Mushrooms and Life Mushrooms reappear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and no changes had been made to them. However, Mushrooms tend to "leap" out of the bushes sometimes for the player to receive. Fishin' Lakitus also use Life Mushrooms as bait for Mario and after Mario had collected it, the Lakitu will attack. Life Mushrooms will also appear instead of Yoshis from the eggs if Yoshi is already ridden on.
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.


====''Super Mario 64====
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.
Although no regular Mushrooms have appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', 1-up Mushrooms can be found in poles, collecting all coins in a certain ring, going through certain rings, and lying there in hidden or risky areas. High lying Mushrooms can also be found in [[Tall Tall Mountain]] in which the player must collect some red coins on top of them.


====''Super Mario 64 DS====
===''Mario Party'' series===
Regular Mushrooms appear in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' as a power-up that makes the characters grow  extremely large for a limited time, similar to the effect of a [[Mega Mushroom]]. This allows the characters to destroy objects or enemies simply by touching them. They earn an [[Extra  Life|extra life]] for each object or enemy that they destroy after the first seven.
:''For a list of probabilities of Double Dice Block rolls with Mushrooms, see [[Double Dice#Probabilities|Double Dice § Probabilities]].''
Mushrooms appear as items in the [[Mario Party (series)|''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.


Since this game is a remake, nearly everything from the previous game, Super Mario 64 has returned. This includes the 1-ups and the mushrooms found in Tall Tall Mountain.
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.


====''New Super Mario Bros.====
In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', Mushrooms appear in the [[Fungi Frenzy]] [[minigame]], where 1-3 of them are contained in each panel.  
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', mushrooms and life mushrooms return, along the addition of 2 new mushrooms: the [[Mini Mushroom]] and the [[Mega Mushroom]]. The Mini Mushroom will make the player grow to a very small size. In this condition, the player may walk through the water and have floaty jumps. The downside is that Mario will lose a life if he touches an enemy and he can only defeat them by ground-pounding them. Mega Mushrooms have an opposite effect. It will make Mario grow to a tremendous size, which will allow him to smash through most objects and become invincible. The downside is that Mega Mario cannot destroy all blocks and he may get stuck. Depending on the amount Mario destroyed, Mario will receive 1-ups.


Mushrooms can act like platforms. There are some types of bouncy mushrooms that will make Mario bounce on them. Others grow and shrink, become taller and shorter, and tilt down according to where Mario is.
In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', they appear in the minigame [[Movin' Mushrooms]]. If it falls into a cart, the respective team gains one point.


====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii====
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.
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the mushrooms got little or no change except the amount of mushrooms that appear out of blocks depends on the amount of players there are. A new mushroom called the [[Propeller Mushroom]] appears, granting Mario the ability to become Propeller Mario that will enable him to fly through the air. Unlike the Mini Mushroom, which reappeared in the game, the Mega Mushroom is absent for some reason.
Some mushrooms act like platforms in most athletic levels. These mushrooms, like ''New Super Mario Bros.'', can have certain effects on them while others are static.


====''Super Mario Galaxy====
===''Mario Tennis'' series===
No regular Mushrooms appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' but there is a Mushroom that will grant Mario 6 more health bars to be added to the three Mario has. However, if Mario happens to get hit 3 times without healing using coins, Mario will lose the ability to hold up 6 more health slots; it will revert back to having three. 1-up Mushrooms are also found alongside with those Mushrooms.  
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.  


====''Mario & Wario====
===''Paper Mario'' series===
In ''[[Mario & Wario]]'', if a blind character gets a Mushroom on the floor, the item magically gives the player more time to complete the level the player is on. Unfortunately, it only appears in certain levels that need more time.

====''Paper Mario''====
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 Mushroom|Volt Shroom]]s and [[Life Mushroom (Paper Mario series)|Life Shroom]]s. Recipes can also be made for other types of Mushrooms by combining certain ingredients together by Tayce T.


===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars===
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[Image:SMRPG_Mushroom.png|thumb|50px]]
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.
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.
Mid Mushrooms differ in appearance from the regular mushroom, having a green cap than a red one.[[Image:SMRPG_Mid_Mushroom.png|thumb|left]] The Max Mushroom, being the greatest one of them all, is about 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.[[Image:Max_Mushroom1.PNG|thumb|right|25px]] 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.


In the same game, a 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.
The many variations of Mushrooms from the previous game return, with the addition of [[Slow Mushroom]]s. 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. In addition, the [[Excess Express]] is said to serve mushroom dishes.


===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Super Paper Mario''====
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga====
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]].
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. Regular  Mushrooms restore 25 HP, Super Mushrooms restore 50 HP, Ultra mushrooms restore 120 HP, and Max Mushrooms restore all HP. Six special Golden Mushroom 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 mini game. 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 a certain plant, which is found in Gwafaffa Ruins.
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time====
Mushrooms act in the same manner as in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''; they restore HP for one member. A regular Mushroom heals 20HP, a Super Mushroom heals 40HP, a Ultra Mushroom heals 80HP, and a Max Mushroom heals all HP. 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, bears 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''====
====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
Mushrooms return, but Mushroom Drops were replaced in favor of the original ''Mario & Luigi'' series Nuts. Mushrooms acted in the same manner as in the two preceding games. Mushrooms in this game healed 40HP, Super Mushrooms healed 60HP, Ultra Mushrooms 120HP, and Max Mushrooms healed 240HP instead of all HP like the previous installments did.
[[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.


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.
====''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'' series===
====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
{{Mergeto|Super Shroom}}
{{Quote|Who likes Mushrooms? ME!|Toad|Paper Mario: The Origami King}}
{{Mergeto|Ultra Shroom}}
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.
{{Mergeto|Slow Shroom}}  
====''Paper Mario====
[[Image:PaperMario Items Mushroom.png|frame]]
In ''Paper Mario'', mushrooms act like healing items, just like the other Mario RPG games. Several variations of mushrooms could be found, such as the Zap 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''====
Mushrooms acted in the same manner as in Paper Mario, except now that Mario's partner has HP, mushrooms can restore a partner's HP. At the end of  this game, [[Punio]] and [[Petuni]] give both Mario and Peach a Mushroom.
====''Super Paper Mario''====
''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' was a platformer RPG game so Mushrooms cannot be bought in shops unlike the preceding games. Instead, they are found out of [[? Block|? Blocks]] and heal ten HP upon contact.

===''Mario Party'' series===
===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
Mushrooms such as the Golden Mushroom, the [[Cursed Mushroom]], the Mini Mushroom, the [[Super Mini Mushroom]], the Mega Mushroom and the [[Super Mega Mushroom]] are also used as items in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series to earn more dice blocks. Mushrooms were a item in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. Rolling the same number gave ten coins to the user, rolling double 7 gives 30 to the user. There was a [[Mushroom Capsule]] in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' and Mushroom [[orbs]] in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 7]]''.
====''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.


===''Mario Kart'' Series===
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.

Regular Mushrooms were common to obtain in the ''[[Mario Kart series]]''. When used, they grant the player a burst of speed. Triple mushrooms can be obtained, and they have the same effect of a mushroom, except it allows the player use mushrooms three times.


A mushroom called the Golden Mushroom first appeared in Mario Kart 64. What they did is that they granted the player an unlimited number boosts until the time runs out activated when the player uses it. These mushrooms were fairly uncommon, but they still could be easily obtained.
[[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]]).


In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', a new Mushroom item was introduced. Taken from ''New Super Mario Bros.'', the Mega Mushroom makes the player who uses it huge, slightly faster and invincible to most items. Anyone who gets caught in the player's way while giant will get smashed for a period of time, their speed getting reduced.
====''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.


A course called [[Mushroom Gorge]] appears in ''Mario Kart Wii''. In this course, several red bouncy mushrooms and green, non-bouncable mushrooms appear in a ravine. The player may take an alternate route in the first ravine, but in the second, the player must bounce across to the other side.  
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.
<br clear=all>


===''Super Smash Bros'' Series===
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.
Although no mushrooms appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Super Mushrooms and Poison Mushrooms make a debut appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. The Super Mushroom, when simply touched, will make the player grow bigger, have attacks that are stronger, and will be harder to knock out in a certain amount of time before the player shrinks back to normal size. The Poison Mushroom is the exact opposite; it shrinks the player, weakens his/her attacks, and making him/her easier to knock out. There are two modes in Special Melee, called Giant and Tiny Melee are as if the characters consumed a Super or Poison mushroom.


==Types of Mushrooms==
All Mushrooms in giant battles are substantially larger than Mushrooms outside of giant battles.
===Super Mushroom===
{{main|Super Mushroom}}
The Super Mushroom is the most common type of Mushroom in the ''Mario'' series. They usually grant the same effects in the games; growing bigger and more durable. Super Mushrooms are usually red with white spots, sporting eyes in the stalk. In the RPG series, they heal HP a player might have lost; in the Mario Kart series, they offer a boost of speed.


===1-up Mushroom===
====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
{{main|1-up Mushroom}}
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).
1-up Mushrooms are just like Super Mushrooms and also have positive effects on the player. They are uncommon and usually found in risky or hidden places in the platformers. They grant the player 1 extra life, as the name implies. They look exactly the same as Super Mushrooms, except their caps are green instead of red. In the RPG games, they revive, rather than grant an extra life, to defeated members.  


===Poison Mushroom===
===''Mario Golf: World Tour''===
[[Image:BrawlPoisonMushroom.jpg|thumb|A Poison Mushroom as it appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.]]
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.
{{main|Poison Mushroom}}
Poison Mushrooms debuted in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' where they hinder the player's progress by making the player power down when touched. In the Lost Levels, their appearance looked almost exactly like a regular Mushroom, except discolored. In later games, they have purple caps and closed eyes. In the Super Smash Bros. series, they look like Super Mushrooms, except have a slightly darker cap and frowning eyes.


===Mini Mushroom===
===''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''===
{{main|Mini Mushroom}}
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.
Mini mushrooms first appeared in the ''Mario Party'' series, where they made the player small and allow him/her to go through places that the player normally wouldn't go through, plus reducing the dice block roll.


Mini Mushrooms also appeared in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', where they make the player tiny, but vulnerable. In this form, the player could go through small pipes, run through water, and jump a little bit better than the bigger form. In this game, the Mini Mushrooms looked like regular mushrooms, except smaller and have a light blue cap. Mini Mushrooms reappeared in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
===''WarioWare: Get It Together!''===
A Mushroom appears as an object in the [[microgame]] [[Inside the Storm]] in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]''. It is spit out by [[Wario]] and depicted as a yellow Mushroom with Wario's mustache and no eyes.


===Mega Mushroom===
==Profiles==
[[Image:MKwii Megamushroom.jpg|thumb|left|A Mega Mushroom]]
===''Super Mario Bros. 2''===
{{main|Mega Mushroom}}
*'''Wii Virtual Console manual bio:''' ''This item replenishes your life meter and extends it by one mark (up to a maximum of four marks).''
A Mega Mushroom first appeared in the ''Mario Party'' series, where they made the player grow bigger and have a larger dice block roll, plus the ability to smash any player who stands in the way. However, the player will pass by any events, including a star space.


Mega Mushrooms reappeared in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' where they made the player grow to an enormous size. The player may destroy nearly anything on his/her way including the flagpole. However, the player cannot smash everything and it is only in effect for a limited number of time, just like the star. Mysteriously, the Mega Mushroom did not reappear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
===''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''===
*'''Digital instruction manual bio:''' ''Recovers the HP of one character.''


It has also been seen in [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]] in the battle with [[Broque Monsieur]].

Golden Mushrooms are rare mushrooms, only found in the ''Mario Kart'' series, ''Mario Party'' series and the Mario RPG series. Golden Mushrooms grant the player unlimited boosts in a certain amount of time in the ''Mario Kart'' series. They can heal all of a players HP plus BP in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''. In the ''Mario Party'' series, they grant the player 3 dice blocks, allowing for further movement.


Golden Mushrooms can be typically yellow, but some wear a crown and have luster while others may simply have a yellow cap with white spots.

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]

Subspace with Princess Toadstool standing on one spot
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]

A Mushroom puzzle
The Mushroom puzzle

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]

Paper Mario description A regular Mushroom. Restores 5 HP.
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.

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]

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]

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]

A Mushroom appears as an object in the microgame Inside the Storm in WarioWare: Get It Together!. It is spit out by Wario and depicted as a yellow Mushroom with Wario's mustache and no eyes.
