Volt Shroom

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 pattern on its "face". 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 Shrooms electrify Mario for a short time, causing most enemies to take damage when they physically touch him. It also allows Mario to Jump on electrified foes without taking any damage.

In Super Paper Mario, it again electrifies the player, but instead of damaging enemies, the player could run into enemies and paralyze them, taking no damage at all. When used, they had to press the A, 1, or 2 buttons as shown on the screen. Each button correctly pressed rose the meter up for a longer effect. Pressing the wrong button dropped the meter down a little. If you fill up the gauge completely, the electrified status will last for about 40 seconds.
