Poison Mushroom: Difference between revisions

Poison Mushrooms debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', where they act exactly like enemies: they will kill [[Small Mario]] or Luigi, revert [[Super Mario|Super]] or [[Fire Mario]] into Small Mario, and will have no effect on [[Invincible Mario]] or a just-damaged invulnerable Mario. As with all Mushrooms, the game will only allow one to be on screen at a time, so a player can get rid of a Poison Mushroom by revealing a [[Super Mushroom]] or a [[1-Up Mushroom]], causing the first one to disappear. Poison Mushrooms can be found in [[Brick Block]]s, [[? Block]]s, and [[Hidden Block]]s alike, and generally appear as a dull brown, blue, or gray mushroom in the original FDS game (depending on whether the level is set on ground, underground, or in a castle). In the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' remake, Poison Mushrooms updated their main appearance to purple, with angry eyes and a skull on the cap, making them much more visually obvious. This change to maintain obviousness was carried over to the ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' port.
