Super Mushroom

Mario in super form after eating a Super Mushroom.

The Super Mushroom is a powerup that typically grants the character an extra hit. Some characters, like Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi start off small, only growing to their full size after acquiring a Super Mushroom. However, not every character uses this powerup and instead uses powerups that is equal to the Super Mushroom.

A variant of the Super Mushroom that appears rarely is modeled after the one from Super Mario Bros. 2. It must be picked up to be used, but it grants the character the effect of two Super Mushrooms, meaning one will be immediate and the other will be placed in the reserve item box unless it's already filled.

• Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi will grow into their full size, allowing them to break brick blocks and take one hit without dying. Wario's version is a clove of garlic, while Waluigi's version is an eggplant.
• Sonic and Tails will gain the blue shield. This will block weak projectiles and allow them to tank one hit without losing rings.
• Arthur gains armor, which allows him to take one extra hit. Armor is unique in that Arthur begins with this powerup and regains it after completing a stage if it's lost.
• Link gains the Master Sword. This will deal more damage than his wooden sword and allows him to shoot beams when at full health.
• Roll will gain Mega Man's helmet, which allows her to charge her buster shots.
• Simon Belmont will have his leather whip replaced with the chain whip. This will increase its power and range.
• Samus will gain the Charge Beam, which increases the size of her shots. She will also gain the Varia Suit, though this is merely cosmetic.
• Legacy Link will grow to full size, just like the Mario characters. His powerup looks like a glass bottle of Lon Lon Milk.
