Setting
As the name implies, Mushroom Land is full of mushrooms. Common enemies and obstacles in Mushroom Land include Koopa Troopas, Goombas, Nipper Plants, Green Shells and Podoboos.
Boss Fight: Ludwig von Koopa
At the end of the Mushroom Land level, the player battles Ludwig von Koopa. The Koopaling fights Mario and Yoshi in a large robot modeled after a turtle with a long neck and spiked shell. The Koopaling sits in the machines head. He attacks by firing green blasts out of one of the two cannons on the side of the robot's head. The machine's weak point is a large purple bulge on the top of the shell. After taking enough damage, the mech explodes leaving only its legs on the ground, then Ludwig, still in the head, drops out of the sky as the robot transforms, growing arms where the cannons were previously. This new robot fires from the arms and mouth. Destroying the arms and then shooting the mouth destroys the robot. Ludwig lands on the ground waving a white flag and the level is completed after Mario receives the gem the boss drops.
