Life Shroom

A Life Shroom is an item found in the Paper Mario series. Whenever Mario (or his partner in Thousand-Year Door) is defeated in battle, the Life Shroom will revive the character and return 10 HP to him or her. If both Mario and partner lose all their HP at the same time, both will be revived to 10 HP, but only one Life Shroom will be used. In Paper Mario, the first time a Life Shroom was seen as Princess Peach in Peach's Castle after the second Star Spirit was saved by Mario, It was seen in the library at the top behind the railing but appears that Princess Peach is unable to get it since it's too high and there seems to be no way for Peach to get up to that top, but it is later obtained as Mario when he makes it to the castle. They later appeared in the Boo's Mansion at Igor's shop. Later on they appeared in both ? Blocks and in the shop in Star Haven. The second item Mario can buy from Rip Cheato will be a Life Shroom. They're also left by Li'l Oinks that are orange and have white spots. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the item can be bought for forty coins at the Twilight Shop in Twilight Town and for fifty coins at Westside Goods in Rogueport. One can be found in Hooktail Castle, Twilight Trail and the Palace of Shadow. At shops within the game, they are given away as a shopping prize when the player reaches 200 points. Life Shrooms are also found in ? Blocks later in the game. Life Shrooms can also be dropped by an enemy in battle. When the enemy is defeated, the Life Shroom revives the enemy just as it would Mario or his partner; however, it then has a high chance of being dropped after the battle is over.

They reappear in Super Paper Mario, but only recover five HP when Mario, Peach, Bowser or Luigi falls.
