In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', the Mega Mushroom returns as an item obtainable from the Item Box. Racers can obtain it if they are anywhere from 4th to 8th place, with them also being able to obtain it in 9th place in VS races. In addition to growing bigger, this item causes the player character's voice to get much deeper. Furthermore, it now offers the ability to squash other characters for a certain amount of time, reducing their speed and making them lose their items. While this item is active, controlled characters receive a speed boost and cannot slow down when going off-road, and they are invincible to all dangerous things, except for the [[Super Star|Star]], [[Bullet Bill]], and [[Blooper]], giving them the power to destroy any items or any course obstacles, except those that are big and metallic (such as [[Chain Chomp]]s). If racers get hit by [[Lightning]] while they are big, they shrink back to normal size rather than becoming tiny. The effect also ends prematurely if they fall off the course. The Mega Mushroom's theme music from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' is played for the duration of the item's effect.

Players with a Star can knock Mega Mushroom players aside without adverse effects themselves. A player under the effects of both a Mega Mushroom and a Star can knock most other players aside (normal-sized Star users included).
