The Three Mushrooms are a group of characters who appear in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "The Ten Koopmandments". They live in Pyramid Land, and their names are Larry, Curly, and Momar. They highly resemble The Three Stooges, due to having similar names, personalities, and appearances. They may also be partially inspired by the Three Wise Men.

History[edit]

After arriving at the nearby village to investigate Koop-Tut's evil set of laws, Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad discover it to be deserted, with the exception of The Three Mushrooms, who show up and introduce themselves as Larry, Curly, and Momar. Princess Toadstool asks where the other villagers are, and the trio responds that they were kidnapped by Koop Tut, who turned them into bricks.

Meanwhile, Koop-Tut is mentioning his plan to use the bricks to build a monument honoring himself. Mouser shows up and informs him that they are fresh out of bricks, so they are unable to finish the structure. Koop-Tut commands him to round up the Koopa Pack and infiltrate the village again to find any remaining Mushroom People so that he can turn them into bricks and finish his monument.

Koop-Tut and his minions arrive at the village, where they are ambushed by The Three Mushrooms, who use a catapult to launch pies at them. Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad try to help by attacking as well. The Three Mushrooms fire more pies, but they miss Koop-Tut and his minions and hit the Marios instead. Koop-Tut then uses his magic staff to transform the trio into a pile of bricks.

After escaping from the pyramid, Mario steals Koop-Tut's magic staff and uses it to turn the bricks back into Mushroom People, including The Three Mushrooms. Mario decides to take them to safety and leads them to the Red Sauce Sea. By freezing the rapid waters, Mario allows The Three Mushrooms and the others to cross safely. King-Tut and his minions attempt to cross as well but are washed away, prompting Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, Toad, and The Three Mushrooms to celebrate.
