| The '''Mega Mushroom''' is a rare variety of mushroom found in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. When eaten, they grow their consumer to a massive size, allowing them to walk over and destroy everything in their path, including the biggest and meanest enemies. Mega Mushrooms made their debut in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', where they were depicted as normally proportioned mushrooms with green caps, however their current appearance is quite different and unique amongst the [[Mushroom]]s of the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. Introduced in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', the current Mega Mushrooms have bulbous, orange and red-spotted caps. This Mega Mushroom uses the same color scheme as the original [[Super Mushroom]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Mario Party 4===
| |
| [[File:Mario4.jpg|thumb|left|The Mega Mushroom, as seen in ''Mario Party 4''.]]
| |
| Mega Mushrooms first appeared in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', with a light green cap. It can be obtained by landing on a [[Mushroom Space]], purchasing it from an item shop, getting it from an [[Item Bag]], or winning a mini-game on the board. They let the player roll two [[Dice Block]]s at once, making the player grow huge and crush other players as they stomp across the board, stealing ten coins from them. However, board events will be bypassed (except for events involving [[Bowser]] at [[Bowser's Gnarly Party]]). Additionally, a [[Super Mega Mushroom]] is available, colored entirely translucent green. The Super Mega Mushroom does the same thing but with three Dice Blocks.

| |
| While the Mega Mushroom did not make an appearance in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the [[Super Mushroom]] has the same effect as a Mega Mushroom, as it makes the character giant.
| |
| | |
| ====''New Super Mario Bros.====
| |
| [[File:Mega Mario NSMB.png|thumb|Mario under the effect of a Mega Mushroom in ''New Super Mario Bros.'']]
| |
| | |
| They later reappeared in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they yet again made [[Mario]] grow to a humongous size. In this colossal form, Mario could stomp across the level and crush anything in his path - enemies, blocks, [[Warp Pipe]]s, and even the [[Flagpole]] at the end of the level.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50QrRjSHVro</ref> When items were crushed by Mario, the bar at the top would start to fill up with yellow. As the yellow line reached the end of a segment, that segment would turn green. After Mario's size reduced again, a 1-Up Mushroom would appear for each green segment filled, with a maximum of five 1-Ups. These mushrooms were rarely found, and almost always came from [[Toad House]]s or Red Flying Blocks. Besides the Toad Houses, they only appear in four levels: 1-1, 1-2, 4-4 and 7-5. The player is not 100% invincible in this form, however; if the player was to jump and land on a hole covered with bricks, the player would fall through, thus, losing a life, if the hole is big enough. Additionally, if Mario or [[Luigi]] were to do a [[Ground Pound]] after eating a Mega Mushroom, a group of [[Goomba]]s or [[Coin]]s (or both) would fall from the sky. In other cases, Mario, or Luigi, lose a life if they fall in lava or the purple poison.
| |
| | |
| In the [[New Super Mario Bros./Beta elements|beta version]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', the Mega Mushroom had the same color as the Super Mushroom, but was changed to yellow and red in the final version.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Kart Wii===
| |
| [[File:MKWmegamario.jpg|thumb|left|200px|[[Mario]] using a Mega Mushroom in ''Mario Kart Wii''.]]
| |
| In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', the Mega Mushroom is an item obtained from the [[Item Box]]. When players use this item, they become bigger, able to crush other players for a certain amount of time, reducing their speed. While this item is active, the players cannot slow down when going off-road, and they are immune to all items, except for the [[Star]], [[Bullet Bill]], and [[Thunderbolt (item)|Thunderbolt]]. If players get hit by a Thunderbolt while they are big, they shrink back to normal size rather than becoming tiny. The effect also ends prematurely if players fall off the course. The Mega Mushroom's theme music from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' is played for the duration of the item's effect.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story===
| |
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', [[Broque Monsieur]] sometimes attacks by using a Mega Mushroom to make himself giant. [[Bowser]] needs to punch his body to avoid the attack. Then Broque Monseiur's head will fall off, still giant, and Bowser needs to punch his
| |
| his head.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games===
| |
| In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', the Mega Mushroom appears in the [[Dream Event]], [[Dream Curling|Curling Bowling]], and Balloon Blast. The actual item does not appear, but there is an [[Item Box]] that it could be obtained from. The Mega Mushroom makes the character 2x his or her original size.
