- Not to be confused with Gold Mushroom or Golden Mushroom.
The Golden Dash Mushroom, often named simply as Golden Mushroom (not to be confused with the Golden Mushroom from Mario Party), is an item featured within the Mario Kart series, having first appeared in Mario Kart 64. The Golden Dash Mushroom enables its user to boost as many times as desired throughout the duration of its existence.
In Mario Kart series[]
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! artwork
A Golden Mushroom is an item that grants its user's kart the ability to do continuous bursts of speed over a time period of around eight seconds. In tracks with lots of off-road areas, a Golden Dash Mushroom can be a lifesaver, as it allows a racer to traverse terrain at full speed that would slow others down; creative racers can make effective pseudo-shortcuts. This can also be accomplished with a Star or a Mega Mushroom. Sometimes it is necessary to clear some optional jumps. Hitting another player during the boost enables its user to steal any items (or balloons in Balloon Battle mode) in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. If both characters have items, then the player will steal the rear character's item and have the front one drop their item.
This is Toad's and Toadette's special item in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, in which it is named Super Mushroom like in Mario Kart 64.
Aside from Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, the Golden Dash Mushroom has also gone on to appear in Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit.
In Mario Party series[]
The Golden Dash Mushroom, here named the Golden Mushroom, is a usable item in Mario Party: Island Tour, Mario Party: Star Rush, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Super Mario Party. It functions differently from the Golden Mushrooms in most other Mario Party series as it instead increases the player's roll by five spaces. Furthermore, the Golden Dash Mushroom from Super Mario Party also uses the same artwork as in Mario Kart 8.
