The mushroom retainers reprise their role in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]''. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', there are as many mushroom retainers in the castle as the castle's world number (one in World 1-4, two in World 2-4, etc.). In the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', Worlds A, B, and C have five, six, and seven of them respectively. In the ending cutscene of the original version of ''Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels'' and ''Super Mario Bros. Special'' (and to a lesser extent, ''[[VS. Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.''), all seven of the mushroom retainers Mario/Luigi rescued throughout the game can be seen circling Mario/Luigi and the princess, exclaiming "Thank you Mario/Luigi!" in the former. Despite Mario rescuing only three Toads while completing Worlds A-C in ''The Lost Levels'', World D's ending, after rescuing Peach again, will still show seven Toads surrounding Mario/Luigi and Peach like with World 8's ending. | The mushroom retainers reprise their role in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.
