Weird Mushroom (item)

The Luigi Mushroom is a power-up set to appear in Super 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. A Super Mushroom can't overwrite the effect of this mushroom, but they can fuse together. The Luigi Mushroom has a 1 in 10 chance of spawning in when you place a super mushroom. It can be unlocked by clearing all 4 Nintendo World Championship courses. It can then be used by shaking a super mushroom in the editor.
