Mini Mushroom
The Mini Mushroom is a variety of Mushrooms found in the Mushroom Kingdom. Whoever uses it will shrink greatly in size, becoming as tiny as a mouse. The Mini Mushroom debuted in Super Mario Kart, where Toad and Peach shot them out at players. If touched, it would shrink the driver making him easy to run over.
It was later seen in Mario Party 4 as a pink capped mushroom with what appears to be a paciefier that reduced the Dice Block from 1-10 to 1-5 and allowed a person under its effects to enter Gates and play Mini Mini-games. Additionally, it had an alternate form called Super Mini Mushroom, colored entirely translucent pink, that did the same, but with two Dice Blocks.
They reappeared in New Super Mario Bros., where they were light blue, and they shrunk Mario's and Luigi's size greatly and yet again gave them the ability to enter tiny Warp Pipes. They also gained the abilities to perform Floaty Jumps and run across water, thanks to their very light weight. Unfortunately, one hit will cause a Mario brother to lose a life. If Mario or Luigi (in Mini form) is able to defeat the Mummipokey, then he will gain access to World 4. If he beats Petey Piranha in Mini form, he can go to World 7.
Trivia
- A different kind of mushroom called a Poison Mushroom works similar to the mini-mushroom.
