—KOOPS, PAPER MARIO: THE THOUSAND-YEAR DOOR

Mushroom Moon, occasionally referred as The Moon, is an alternate Moon, which encompasses the planet's moon orbiting around it, often depicted as Earth's natural satellite, and it has appeared commonly as decoration for a background or as a setting for a particular level.

The Mushroom Moon is accessible in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Mario's Time Machine, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and Super Mario Odyssey.

History[]

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins[]

Main article: Space Zone

The Mushroom Moon appears as a Moon Stage, the first level of Space Zone in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. The Moon can be shown smiling in the overworld map for the zone; once the zone's secret course is unlocked, a shooting star will hit it, changing its expression to a frowning and more gloomy one. If the player clears the secret course, the moon's anger expression will be changed to a sadness one.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[]

Mario Shoots the Moon — Mario just landing on the Mushroom Moon in *Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door*

This large floating satellite of sorts is where the location of the X-Naut base is. There is less gravity here than on the Mushroom Earth, in being so, Mario jumps slightly higher in the overworld. Mario's basic movement is even slowed down as well. The stars in the sky can form constellations that look like power-ups such as the Fire Flower and Super Mushroom.

There is also many enemies called Moon Clefts that inhabit the Mushroom Moon and they run much faster than Mario. Mario can only avoid a battle with them by riding on Yoshi though in battle, they can be easily taken down with Bobbery.

Donkey Kong Country Returns[]

The Mushroom Moon can be shown in each of the possible, but similar different endings in Donkey Kong Country Returns, depending on the characters remaining. After defeating Tiki Tong, the Kongs are blasted high in the night sky and fall down to the moon. If only Donkey Kong defeats Tiki Tong, Donkey Kong uses his fist to punch the moon into the atmosphere and slam into Tiki Tong Tower in the Volcano. If Tiki Tong is defeated by Diddy Kong, Diddy attempts to escape the gravitational pull of the moon to no avail and lands on his head. However, the force of the impact also results in Diddy unintentionally causing the moon to fall and slam into the tower. If Tiki Tong is defeated while both Kongs are active, Donkey Kong has Diddy Kong speed him toward the moon with his jetpack, accelerating Donkey Kong as he punches the moon, which causes it to fall onto the tower. After the moon crushes Tiki Tong Tower, the volcano erupts the banana hoard, sending the moon back into its original position.

Trivia[]

Oddly, Mario doesn't need a helmet to breathe on the Mushroom Moon in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Super Mario Odyssey where in Super Paper Mario, he needs one. It is believed that the Crystal Stars are protecting him.
During her Tattle while on the Mushroom Moon, Goombella makes a comment about a Goomba landing on the moon in '69 which is a reference to the Apollo 11 landing; the first manned landing on the real world's moon in 1969 by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, however in the Nintendo Switch remake, she no longer mentions a specific year. The moon in this game is shown to contain no land features other than craters and rocks.
