Super Mario
Not to be confused with Super Mushroom or Mega Mushroom.

Big Mushrooms are a type of Mushroom power-up item which first appears in Super Mario Maker and returns in both Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS and Super Mario Maker 2. Using it turns a Mario or another character into their Big form.

In Super Mario series[]

Super Mario Maker[]

A Big Mushroom could only be accessed from using an amiibo. This power-up had a major effect on a level. For starters, Mario grew from his either 1x1 blocks or 1x2 blocks size to 2x2 blocks. His movements slightly slowed down and he gained the ability to smash hard blocks, Brick Blocks and ? Blocks just by jumping into or onto them. In addition to all this, enemies began appearing differently when Mario took this mushroom. For instance, a Dry Bones will now wear a hat and have Luigi riding on their backs. However, despite these abilities, Mario will revert to his Super form if he touches anything harmful, and he is still vulnerable to lava, being crushed and falling through gaps. 

Super Mario Maker 2[]

The Big Mushroom has the same effect, although the appearances of enemies go unchanged, and every character can use it without using amiibo. A Big Mushroom is now automatically accessible, and it can be found when a player selects a mushroom and holds it.
