Zombie Shroom

A Zombie Shroom is an enemy that appeared in Super Paper Mario. Sometimes Mario, Princess Peach, Bowser or Luigi will find a Mushroom or a relative item in a ? Block that instead immediately turns into a Zombie Shroom, moving extremely fast in the same pattern as a normal mushroom and dealing two damage with each hit. A single jump defeats it as it only has 1 HP, causing it to drop five coins. There is a stronger variant of this enemy, the Ghoul Shroom, which is gray.

Zombie Shrooms, like Poison Mushrooms and Rotten Mushrooms, have purple among their colors. The item Ghost Shroom also resembles Zombie Shrooms.

In Super Mario-kun they're the first enemies Mario faces in the Super Paper Mario storyline. After watching in live the wedding of Peach and Bowser, Mario is immediately attacked by three Zombie Shrooms sent by the Count. While Tippi tries to encourage Mario to fight back since he's the hero of the prophecy, Mario hits a ? Block that releases a Mega Star with which Mario is able to defeat them.
