A Volt Mushroom, originally known as a Volt Shroom, is an item that appears in the Paper Mario series. In Paper Mario, it is a yellow Mushroom with a slightly lighter yellow lightning bolt beside it. The Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door variant is black with yellow lightning bolts in place of the usual white spots.
In both games, Volt Mushrooms electrify Mario for a short time, causing most enemies to take damage when they physically touch him. Volt Mushrooms also allow Mario to jump on electrified foes without taking any damage. In the Nintendo GameCube version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a Volt Mushroom will do nothing if the Feeling Fine Badge is equipped.
In Super Paper Mario, a Volt Shroom again electrifies the player, but instead of damaging enemies, the player can run into enemies and paralyze them without taking any damage. When a Volt Shroom is used, the player has to press 
, 
, or 
as shown on the screen. Each button correctly pressed rises the meter up for a longer effect. Pressing the wrong button drops the meter down a little. The effect can last anywhere from 25 to 40 seconds, depending on how full the meter gets.
