One of them contains a [[Secret of the Village Underside|secret area]] full of [[Pianta]]s called "Chucksters." In Pianta Village itself, several red ones have grown through and seem to be used as torches, as they are commonly found with a flame on top. Extinguishing it usually causes a [[coin]] to come out. One of the mushrooms in the town has a golden cap, and is where the mayor is trapped in [[The Goopy Inferno]].

Mushroom Platforms appear with even more color variation in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', where they are first found in [[Mushroom Heights]]. In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', they are instead first found in [[Piranha Heights]], the level's direct replacement. In this game, the ones that move have candy cane-like stripes on their stalks. The pink stretching type also reappear in the game. The game also introduces [[Seesaw Shroom|a seesaw-like variant]] in the level called [[Seesaw Shrooms (level)|Seesaw Shrooms]].

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
====''Yoshi's Island'' series====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', Mushroom Platforms appear in a few levels in the first half of [[Fungi Mines]]. They have a different appearance from previous 2D ''Mario'' games, with segmented stems similar to ''Super Mario Odyssey'' and wavy caps.<ref>Nintendo of America (June 21, 2023). [https://youtu.be/JStAYvbeSHc Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Nintendo Direct 6.21.2023]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved July 25, 2023.</ref> The red ones have white circle-shaped dots and the blue ones have theirs triangle-shaped. There are also mushrooms that hang from the ceiling of some levels and two of them are diagonally set. When a [[Wonder Flower]] is touched in the level [[Upshroom Downshroom]], by its [[Wonder Effect]], these red and blue mushroom platforms change colors into a variety of neon shades that glow as the background darkens.

In the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series, Mushroom Platforms first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. In this game, Mushroom Platforms appear in cave levels, with many having much thinner stalks and caps, which curve around more than the blocky squarish ones from most ''Super Mario'' games. They come in multiple colors, such as red, blue, beige, and purple, and have a whitish center area instead of spots. Thicker ones with triangular caps also exist, and do have spots. Smaller examples of these can come in other colors, such as dark mahogany and dark pine green, while even smaller than that are limited to blue, red, beige, and purple, like the largest ones. Most of both types appear to have a slice out of the cap, but the smaller two versions of the latter type lack these.

====''Yoshi's Woolly World''====
In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and its [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|3DS remake]], there are three colors of Mushroom Platforms, which are made of yarn with a white circle on top. They make their first appearance in [[Sponge Cave Spelunking]]. When Yoshi lands on one, its cap wiggles, and with his [[Ground Pound]] triggered on these platforms, the red ones have nothing inside, but the green ones contain treasures which are mostly [[bead]]s and the purple ones release [[Nipper Spore]]s. In the course [[Yoshi Branches Out]], all of the Mushroom Platforms are red.

Mushroom Platforms appear in the backgrounds of the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros.)|Mushroom Kingdom]] stage of the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros.

They also appear in the [[Golden Plains]] and [[Rainbow Road (stage)|Rainbow Road]] stages in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and, in the former stage's case, ''Ultimate''. Platforms in the former stage are pass-through platforms, while platforms in the latter are not, as it is one of the stage's main fighting arenas.
