Mushroom Kingdom II
- This article is about the Mushroom Kingdom II stage. For other locations named the Mushroom Kingdom, see Mushroom Kingdom (disambiguation).
Mushroom Kingdom II is the second Mushroom Kingdom stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee and a returning stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It can be unlocked by collecting the Birdo or the Pidgit trophy. Despite the name, this stage is actually in Subcon, from Super Mario Bros. 2. The stage has a platform in the middle, and two on the side. A waterfall forms huge gorges that separate the three. Occasionally, logs will fall down the waterfall, creating temporary platforms. A Pidgit will occasionally fly in, making another platform, and a Birdo also appears occasionally, spitting Birdo Eggs at the characters.
Cherries, grass tufts, Semi-Solid Platforms, and vases appear in the background of the stage in 2D. The whole level has Super Mario All-Stars / BS Super Mario USA graphics (converted to 3D); these graphics are overhauled for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and now use the actual graphics from the aforementioned games, albeit in much less saturated colors.
The unlock match for Luigi takes place here.

Trivia
- The official strategy guide only mentions that the Birdo trophy is required to unlock the stage, even though the Pidgit trophy can also be collected to unlock the stage before collecting the Birdo trophy.
- Although the stage is Super Mario All-Stars-themed, the NES overworld music plays instead.
- Much like Mushroom Kingdom, the boss music will play during a Sudden Death match and on Super Sudden Death.
