This article is about the mushroom in the Mario Kart series. If you want to see the mushroom from New Super Mario Bros. 2, see Gold Mushroom
Toad and Toadette's special item is the Golden Mushroom.
In relation to Mario Kart, a Golden Mushroom is an item that gives the kart continuous bursts of speed over a time period of around eight seconds. A particular Mushroom known as the Golden Mushroom can also be used over and over. In tracks with lots of off-road areas, this item 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 allows players 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!!. It also appears in Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart Wii, , Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
They appear in New Super Mario Bros. 2, and are worth 50 coins (100 coins if collected as Gold Mario) each. In Coin Rush mode, all 1-Up Mushrooms are replaced with gold mushrooms. There is also a downloadable 'Gold Mushroom Pack' that contains many gold mushrooms.
