Mega Mario



Mega Mario is a form that Mario and some others can become by eating a Mega Mushroom in many games. This form allows the player to greatly increase in size, allowing them to defeat every enemy in his path and break almost anything (including Flagpoles).

Super Mario 64 DS
In Super Mario 64 DS, the Super Mushroom has the same effects as the Mega Mushroom, and makes the player into a larger size. The player can then obliterate almost anything in their path. They are always found in Bricks scattered throughout the level, and were first introduced in Whomp's Fortress. The player however, could not do any special types of jumps, such as the Triple Jump.

New Super Mario Bros.
The Mega Mario form returns in New Super Mario Bros is very useful sometimes, and the more things Mega Mario breaks, the higher the bar above his head will rise. If done right, Mega Mario can gain up to five 1-Up Mushrooms. Mega Mario also has the ability to squash any of New Super Mario Bros' bosses in one hit, including Bowser in any of his forms.

Super Paper Mario
In Super Paper Mario, when Mario (or Luigi, Princess Peach, or Bowser) grabs a Mega Star, he will turn 8-bit, much like his sprite from Super Mario Bros and grow to giant proportions as well. As Mega Mario, Mario will be able to break blocks, enemies and anything in his path, much like the Mega Form from New Super Mario Bros.

Trivia

 * According to The InterNed, the music in Super Paper Mario that plays while Mario or another character (including a Koopa) is in Mega form is titled "An Unrivaled Battle."
 * A similar form to Mega Mario, though unnamed, appeared in the Club Nintendo comic "Mario in Mariozilla". Kamek accidentally turned him into this state.
