Nakimashitatake are Mushrooms that appear in the animated film Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen! They are a reference to the Panaeolus papilionaceus, a species of poisonous mushroom known as the「笑い茸」(waraitake, "laughing mushroom") in Japan due to its psychedelic properties. When consumed, the consumer starts crying uncontrollably.
During the film, when Mario attempts to bring Luigi back to reality after he eats a Waraitake, he is knocked away by the delirious Luigi into a cliff, which causes him to accidentally eat some Nakimashitatake that fall to the ground, causing to start crying uncontrollably. Mario attempts to counter the effects of the Nakimashitatake by giving him what he thinks to be a Waraitake, only for Luigi to become enraged and punch him several times; Mario realizes that he gave him a Koritake instead.
