The Super Mushroom is a power-up in the series. It is, traditionally, about the size of Mario, and has an ivory stalk below a red and white (originally red and orange) spotted cap. Originally, it was shaped after a common mushroom, but since Super Mario Bros. 2 it gained a more cartoonish shape, with an almost-spherical cap and a stubby stalk. Shigeru Miyamoto stated in an interview that the Super Mushroom was created by chance. The first sketches of Mario turned out to be too big, and they were forced to shrink them. Then the development team thought it would be interesting to have Mario grow and shrink by eating a magic mushroom. In some games, these mushrooms replenish health.

Layout
|
When a Super Mushroom appears on the screen during a battle it will immediately begin to move across the ground at a steady pace. A player can pick it up simply by walking into it, and upon picking up a Super Mushroom their physical size will triple and they'll also weigh more than they did before. They'll also gain increased strength and recover 10% damage. This effect will only last for 6 seconds however.
