Mushrooms add an additional mark/heart to the [[Health Meter|life meter]], to a maximum of four. The meter then resets to two marks at the start of the following stage. Up to two are located in each stage, and are found only in specific [[Subspace]] locations within the stage. In [[Super Mario Advance]], the extra mushroom is added for each level to make the total of five hearts.

In ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'', a Mushroom is an item that grants a [[Kart]] a brief burst of speed when used. Mushrooms can come in singles or triplets, the latter providing three Mushrooms to use in a row. In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' a character holds these mushrooms in piles, but if the kart is hit by an item on the road, these mushrooms will fall off and the character will have one remaining on hand. Normally this set appears as default power-ups in time trial mode (excluding ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'') to use specially over shortcuts of a determined course. Another type of Mushroom is the [[Golden Mushroom]], that can be used indefinitely in a restricted period of time.  

Mushrooms act in the same manner as in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''; they restore HP for one member. While the Max Mushroom is still the same, the regular, Super and Ultra mushrooms heals 20HP, 40HP and 80HP respectively. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', there are also items called [[Mushroom Drop]]s, which will every single member on the team, very much like the [[Nut]]s in ''Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga''. Unlike Max Mushroom and Max Nuts, however, there is nothing more powerful than Ultra Drops. Shroom Badges make a return, but with a different effect: they now increase the healing effects of a Mushroom.

In the latest installment of the ''Paper Mario'' series, ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', Mushrooms appear, much like every other item, as stickers. They restore 20 HP, but if the A button is pressed with good timing, the effect can be increased to 30. Two stronger Mushroom stickers also exist: the Shiny Mushroom, which acts like a Super Shroom, which restores 40 or 60 HP, and the Flashy Mushroom, which acts like an Ultra Shroom, which restores 80 or 99 HP. Big 1UP and Big Shiny 1UP stickers also appear, restoring 10 or 15 HP for 10 turns, respectively, and [[Poison Mushroom]]s, which poison Mario, but enemies also get poisoned if they touch him.
