Weird Mushroom (item)

The Luigi Mushroom is a power-up that has only appeared in Mario Maker. Upon use, Mario will turn taller and slimmer and gain the abilities of Luigi, with higher jumps but lower traction. According to Takashi Tezuka, the form came from a bug that happened in development that made Super Mario skinny. It looks similar to a normal Mushroom with a short cap and a very thin base. It is randomly found in Question Blocks, along with Super Mushrooms, but Luigi Mushrooms are more rare to find. A Super Mushroom can't overwrite the effect of this mushroom.

Trivia

 * The Luigi Mushroom visually resembles a Dried Shroom.
