Mega Mushroom



The Mega Mushroom is a rare variety of mushroom found in the Mushroom Kingdom. When eaten, they grow their consumer to a massive size. They first appeared in Mario Party 4, with a light green cap. They let the player hit two Dice Blocks at once, making the player grow huge and crush other players as they stomped across the board, stealing 10 coins from them. Additionally, a Super Mega Mushroom was available, colored entirely translucent green. The Super Mega Mushroom did the same thing but with three Dice Blocks.

They recently reappeared in New Super Mario Bros., where they yet again made Mario grow to a humongous size. In this colossal form, Mario could stomp across the level and crush anything in his path - enemies, blocks, Warp Pipes, and the flag at the end of the level. These mushrooms were rarely found, and almost always came from Mushroom Houses or Red Flying Blocks. Besides the mushroom houses, they only appear in two levels, 1-1 and 7-5. Even though these are strong if the player was to jump and land on a hole covered with bricks, the player would fall in, thus, losing a life, if the hole is big enough. Additionally, if Mario or Luigi were to do a Ground Pound after eating a Mega Mushroom, a group of Goombas or Coins would fall from the sky.

In Mario Kart Wii the Mega Mushroom is an item obtained from the Item Box. When player uses this item, the player becomes bigger, able to crush other players in an amount of time.
