Mushroom Platforms are a recurring object in the Mario franchise. They first appear in Super Mario Bros..

Description[]

Mushroom Platforms are tall, spotted platforms shaped like a toadstool. In most of their appearances, Mushroom Platforms are usually a type of Semisolid Platform, and they are usually found in sky-themed levels or levels taking place high above ground level. Mushroom Platforms consistently serve as a type of platform in most of their appearances, and usually have the same role between games.

Mushroom Platforms have appeared in various colors, and do not generally have a standard coloration. In Super Mario Bros., they are yellow with red spots. In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, Mushroom Platforms are red-capped with white spots on top and golden gills underneath. In New Super Mario Bros., Mushroom Platforms are colored either orange or green with yellow spots. In New Super Mario Bros. 2, Mushroom Platforms resemble their appearance in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, except their stem rings extend further down. In New Super Mario Bros. U, the moving Mushroom Platforms have distinct candy cane-like stripes on their stalks. In Mario Kart Wii, Mushroom Platforms are light green.

In Super Mario series[]

Super Mario Bros.[]

W4-3 SMAS SMB3

Fire Mario jumping from a Super Mushroom in World 4-3 of Super Mario All-Stars's Super Mario Bros. remake

Here, they are named Super Mushrooms, and first appear in World 4-2's Warp Zone area and World 4-3. They replace the tree-like platforms found in earlier levels such as World 1-3. Unlike later Super Mario games, Mushroom Platforms are not a Semisolid Platform, meaning they cannot be jumped through from below. In All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros., the stalk of a Mushroom Platform is broken up into segments.

In the Super Mario All-Stars remake, Mushroom Platforms are visibly shown in the background of World 4-3.

Super Mario World[]

Standard Mushroom Platforms do not make an appearance, although they have a certain type named Piston Lift, which appears in Butter Bridge 1.

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[]

SM64DS Tall Tall Mountain Star 3

A series of Mushroom Platforms, a few of which have a Red Coin on it, in Super Mario 64 DS

Mushroom Platforms appear in Tall, Tall Mountain, and a few can even be seen on the course's painting. There are a series of Mushroom Platforms suspended above a pit, and several of them have a Red Coin, which can be collected for the mission Scary 'Shrooms, Red Coins. There is a lone Mushroom Platform located away from the main area, and the mission Blast to the Lonely Mushroom involves using a cannon to blast over onto the Mushroom Platform and collect the Power Star on it.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe[]

Mushroom Platforms act the same as in Super Mario Bros., but they additionally appear in World 1-3 of the Vs. and You vs. Boo modes.

Super Mario Sunshine[]

Mushroom Platforms are found in the underside of Pianta Village, below several climbable fences. One of them contains an entrance to a secret area consisting of several Chucksters, but it can only be accessed once Yoshi sprays juice onto the Orange Juice Generator. In the main area of Pianta Village itself, several red Mushroom Platforms have grown through. These Mushroom Platforms appear to be used as torches, as they are commonly found with a flame on top, and extinguishing the flame usually causes a coin to come out. One of the Mushroom Platforms bears a golden cap, and the Pianta Village mayor is trapped here during the episode The Goopy Inferno.

New Super Mario Bros.[]

NSMB Red Thin Mushroom Platform
NSMB Green Thin Mushroom Platform

Mushroom Platforms appear throughout the sky-themed levels, where they are used as the primary platform. Mushroom Platforms first appear in World 1-3. Most Mushroom Platforms are stationary, but a few have an added behavior of swaying back and forth, occasionally moving across the screen while doing so.

A few Mushroom Platform variations were introduced: Mushroom Trampoline, which has a pink, bouncy cap; Stretch Shroom, which has an expanding and contracting cap; and Sinking and Rising Mushrooms, which move up or down if stood upon.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[]

Mushroom Platforms first appear in World 1-5. World 8-1 unusually also features Mushroom Platforms, even though it is a lava-themed level. Stretch Shrooms also make a reappearance.

The game introduces another type of Mushroom Platform, the Screwtop Shroom, which can have its height adjusted by spinning a screw on top of its cap.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[]

Mushroom Platforms first appear in World 1-4. All three variations introduced in New Super Mario Bros. also return: Mushroom Trampolines, Stretch Shrooms, and Sinking and Rising Mushrooms.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[]

Mushroom Platforms first appear in the level Mushroom Heights, or Piranha Heights, its direct counterpart in New Super Luigi U. Stretch Shrooms also make a reappearance.

New Super Mario Bros. U introduces another type of Mushroom Platform, the Seesaw Shroom, which appears in the level Seesaw Shrooms.

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS / Super Mario Maker 2[]

Mushroom Platforms are an unlockable course element, and are among those to be unlocked on day 7 of playing the game. Mushroom Platforms are placeable objects in all styles. They are featured in a variety of colors, and a Mushroom Platform's height and length can be adjusted in the level editor. When Mushroom Platforms are placed underwater, they receive a coral-like appearance. If a Mushroom Platform is placed in airships in any style except for New Super Mario Bros. U, its stalk is changed to a mechanical-like appearance, and in the Super Mario Bros. style, the cap becomes metallic. In each style, shaking a Mushroom Platform can toggle its colors between red, yellow/white, and green.

Seeing as Mushroom Platforms did not originally appear in Super Mario Bros. 3, unique graphics were created for them for the Super Mario Bros. 3 style. For the Super Mario World style, their tiles were reused from those of the large, regular spotted platforms in Super Mario World.

Super Mario Maker 2[]

Mushroom Platforms appear in all styles except for the Super Mario 3D World style. Unlike in Super Mario Maker, Mushroom Platforms in the New Super Mario Bros. U airship style have a mechanical appearance.

The minigame Mushroom Mix-Up takes place on seven hexagonal Mushroom platforms of different colors, each having a specific placement—yellow (top-left); cyan (left); blue (bottom-left); pink (bottom-right); green (right); red (top-right); and black (center).
