World War Mushroom: A Super Mario Bros. Game

Not to be confused with Super Mario Wars or its sequel, World War Koopaling, New Super Mario: War for the Mushroom Kingdom, or Super Mario Bros: The Mushroom Wars.
Yes, there IS a lot of Mario-based war games on here, it's pretty cool.
World War Mushroom is a 3D open-world Mario game, released in June 30, 2022. It is the first of a trilogy of 3D Mario games dedicated to creating their own canon for the Mario games. It was made by Mimikyutube.
==Gameplay==
The gameplay of this game has elements of other 3D Mario games. You have the same moveset as Bowser's Fury, but with buffed dives and long jumps. You can also slide the same way you do as Super Mario 64. Like the Paper Mario games, you have partners, though they are temporary. The entire game is also based on playing through missions where a character asks you to do something for them. There's also Events, which change the gameplay to be like a Hack-n'-Slash.
==Playable Characters==
===Mario===
Mario is the man himself, and he's ready to become a war hero. His stats are all middle-of-the-road, and he has no special abilities.
===Luigi===
Mario's less iconic, slightly younger twin brother, Luigi has the same moveset as Mario does, but he has less traction, he takes longer to build momentum, his jumps are higher, he's slightly faster than Mario, and he has a Poltergust G-00 Meter, which rises up every time he kills an undead enemy (take Dry Bones for example), and it only appears in stages with undead enemies. Once full, you can hold down on both joysticks (it only works if both of them are down at the same time) and it unleashes a giant tornado that sucks everything in, and saves the rewards for later.
===The Chimp===
The galaxy's best gamer, this monkey (yes, he has a tail, therefore, he's a monkey) came from the stars to get revenge on Prince Pikante and King Kaliente. He can jump, charge, swing his tail, climb up trees, collect Gummits, Gold Gummits and Spiky Gummits, and throw Spiky Gummits.
==Partners and NPCs==
===Partners===
===General Toad===
General Toad is the general of the Mushroom Army, and he follows Mario around when Professor Todd goes missing. In battle, if Mario gets under half health, General Toad will start attacking, using his Headbonk or his Toad Slap attacks.
===Princess Peach===
Unlike General Toad, Princess Peach will attack any powerful enemy, regardless of your health. She will either use Perry, or she will throw turnips at the enemy.
===Donkey Kong===
Donkey Kong, unlike other partners, can be ridden, which causes you to move 1.5x faster. Donkey Kong also has multiple attacks that can be used whether DK's being ridden or not. He can eat a banana to heal himself, he can slam dunk enemies, and he can crush anyone who gets in the way.
===Fedora Bonnet===
Fedora Bonnet is a female Bonneter who, unlike other residents of Bonneton, wears a fedora instead of a top hat or bonnet. This is because she's a secret agent, and she needs to get to Bonneton, seeing as it's under attack by the Broodals. Fedora can be thrown as a special attack, she can slap enemies, she can float up to high places to find secret areas, and she can combine with Mario's hat so they can capture certain enemies.
===Yoshi===
Like Donkey Kong, Yoshi can be ridden, and he can Flutter Jump, eat enemies, and even Infinite Flutter Jump in certain places. This is the only partner to appear in multiple levels instead of one.
===NPCs===
===Professor Todd B. Surinam===
During the first half of the game, Professor Todd will grant Mario different missions involving capturing certain enemies using the Enemy Capture-O-Tron 2000. Usually, Professor Todd comes along to help, and he'll bring tranquilizer darts to make your job easier, but he doesn't attack the enemies himself. These missions stop in the second half of the game.
===Princess Daisy===
Found in Sarasaland, Princess Daisy will first be found cowering under some rubble, and then running away after talking to Mario, instead of helping the Blue Toads fight off the enemies. Later in the mission, she's abducted by Tatanga, who takes her to Mario's Island, where an X version of Wario is waiting. Once Mario reaches Mario's Throne Room, he has to fight both Wario X and Tatanga, while Daisy is in a cage that she could easily escape. After the fight, instead of thanking Mario, she asks for Luigi to help her, and then runs off to Mushroom Base where Luigi is.
===Waluigi===
Waluigi has a mission in the second half of the game, where he says he was walking around with Wario one day when a spore went through his ear, and instantly turned him into a bright yellow, and that he tried to stop his friend, but his efforts were in vain. He wants Luigi, and only Luigi, to save Wario, as the latter escaped after Mario beat him and Tatanga.
===Wario===
Wario is one of the few NPCs in Mushroom Base that doesn't have missions available, and he only appears in Mushroom Base once Waluigi's mission is completed.
===Toad Soldiers===
The Toad Soldiers are a variety of Toads with different power-ups that can be seen fighting alongside you, but some of them have missions for you (for instance, one Soldier Toad wants you to rid the Macro Zone of the increasing population of Sewer Rats, all led by Mouser, due to the Toad Soldier being tasked to look for weapons in the Macro Zone).
===Diddy Kong===
Diddy Kong is a friend of Donkey Kong who tasks you with finding his hat, as he lost it to a mysterious alien that was said to have originated "from a world of hot and cold".
===Piantas===
Piantas are chubby palm tree creatures with big noses. Some of them are found in Mushroom Base, and their missions usually take place in either Isle Delfino or Starshine Beach Galaxy, and the missions usually involve bosses from Super Mario Sunshine (or beach bosses in general) including Petey Piranha, Gatekeepers, etc.
===Rosalina===
Rosalina is another NPC who doesn't give you any missions. She usually walks around the roof of the Mushroom Base, occasionally checking the telescope. She only appears once you complete a mission involving the Comet Observatory.
=== Luma Soldiers ===
Luma Soldiers serve the same purpose as Toad Soldiers, except they only appear in space-related levels (except for the ones in the Mushroom Base).
TBA
==Power Ups==
===Super Mushroom===
Since Mario starts off every mission as Big Mario and can't shrink to Small Mario (unless there's a Mini Mushroom, of course), the Super Mushroom exists to restore 1 HP, which is only good at the beginning of the game, since you only have 5 HP at the beginning, and you don't have access to any Heart Pieces yet. However, it can affect your size if you're Mini Mario.
===Fire Flower===
Like Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, the Fire Flower is a temporary item, although it does have some buffs. For one, the Fire Flower lasts 30 seconds instead of 20, so you have more time to enjoy it. Second, it allows you to walk on lava, since this incarnation of the Fire Flower changes your heat resistance.
===Super Star===
The Super Star is a temporary power up that lasts for 15 seconds, but it gives you invincibility and allows you to instantly kill most enemies. It also increases your speed.
===Rainbow Star===
The Rainbow Star has been completely revamped from both Galaxy games, as it now removes your invincibility, but increases your speed and health for 20 seconds, and gives you floatier jumps.
===Ice Flower===
The Ice Flower works almost exactly the same as it did in Super Mario Galaxy, with the two changes being that it can now shoot ice balls that freezes enemies for a few seconds, and that the power up stays for 30 seconds.
===Penguin Suit===
The Penguin Suit has been moderately revamped from the New Super Mario Bros. games. For one, it no longer shoots ice balls, in exchange for faster ice speeds and unlimited usage (unlike the Ice Flower). It also moves across the snow twice as fast as it normally would.
===1-Up Mushroom===
The 1-Up Mushroom gives you an extra life (AKA an additional Mario), as it always does.
===Tanooki Leaf===
The Tanooki Leaf works the same way it does in 3D Land and 3D World.
===Frog Suit===
The Frog Suit works the same way it does in Super Mario Maker 2.
=== P-Balloon ===
The P-Balloon works the same way it does in Super Mario Maker 2.
==Main Game Bosses==
===Goomboss===
Goomboss is the first boss in the game, and he resides in the very first level (Crumbled Battlefield). He'll attack by throwing his Goomba minions at you, and occasionally charge at you. You have to defeat him by throwing 15 Boombas (Bob-omb Goombas) into his mouth. Every 5 hits, he gets angrier and gains a new attack: First a slam attack that renders him dizzy for a few seconds, and then a bite attack that will one-shot you. Once you defeat him, you get the first of this new collectable: The Asteroid Chip, and then General Toad comes along and takes you to Mushroom Base. 
===Whomp King===
The Whomp King is the second boss in the game, and he resides in Crumbled Battlefield, specifically in the final mission, where he takes over the battlefield. He's defeated the same way, but with noticeable changes: He now takes 7 hits instead of 3, and he summons Blue Whomps (Whomps that are blue and go super fast). Once you defeat him, you get an Asteroid Chip for your troubles.
===King Bob-Omb===
Found in the secret mission for Crumbled Battlefield, King Bob-Omb is shown to be super angry that Bob-Omb Battlefield was destroyed in the war. He attacks by picking you up and throwing you onto the ground, and also throwing Bob-Ombs at you. Defeat him by picking up his Bob-Ombs, and throwing five of them at him. Once defeated, he gives you an Asteroid Chip.
===Mummipokey===
Mummipokey is the boss of the second mission of Dried-Out Dunes. He's found in the center of the pyramid, and he attacks by spitting toilet paper rolls and slamming himself on the ground. Jump on him three times to win.
=== Gooper Blooper ===
Gooper Blooper is the boss of the penultimate mission in Dried-Out Dunes, specifically being found in the Blooper Oasis. Gooper Blooper's attack patterns are the same as Sunshine, but you hit him 5 times, not 3.
=== Petey Piranha ===
Petey Piranha is the only boss in the second of the two missions in Starshine Beach Galaxy. He's found on a giant arena in the sky accessed by a slingshot. Petey's moveset is a mix of Super Mario Sunshine and New Super Mario Bros. DS. Defeating him gives an Asteroid Chip.
=== Mandibug Stack ===
The Mandibug Stack is a mid-way boss in the final mission of Puzzle Plank Galaxy. They're a 100-Mandibug tower that shoots cannonballs out of their mouths, and they occasionally shoot slightly darker-colored cannonballs that you can pick up and throw back. Defeating them gives you a key to the next half of the mission.
=== Eyerok and Knucklotec ===
Eyerok is the boss of the First Encounter Event, which happens right after you beat the final mission in Puzzle Plank Galaxy. He and his minions (which include Tornadoes, Dry Bones, Klepto, Sand Blaarghs, and Bullet Bills) are battled at Dried-Out Dunes, where he himself is inside a pyramid guarded by Klepto and his other minions. Once you get inside the pyramid, you have to use the item "Hell in a Shell" given to you by General Toad, while avoiding two Giant Dry Bones that Eyerok summons. Hell in a Shell is used to shoot both of his eyes 5 times. Once you get 5 hits on either of his eyes, he'll move on to his second phase, and grow so large that the pyramid will be destroyed, and the entire map is now the arena. He'll also summon Knucklotec, who needs to be hit in the head 3 times with the Hell in a Shell.
=== Sewer Rat ===
The Sewer Rat is a boss in the first mission of Sarasaland. After Princess Daisy gets kidnapped by Tatanga and Wario X, the Sewer Rat reveals himself on Sarasaland's giant monitor screen. He claims to be in the skies above the edge of the kingdom, so Mario gets on a plane to stop him from committing war crimes. The Sewer Rat is inside a giant mech, laughing maniacally. He shoots lasers and bombs, but you just need to shoot him 5 times with a fully charged cannon shot to be defeated. It's then revealed that the Sewer Rat was distracting Mario and the army from Wario X and Tatanga taking over Mario's Island again.
=== Tatanga and Wario X ===
Tatanga and Wario X, unlike most of the other bosses so far, have an introduction cutscene, where after you clear out the first wave of enemies in Sarasaland and kill the Sewer Rat, you go to Mario's Island for one of the only two missions it has: Defeating the duo that took over the island. Mario's Castle has been made into a battlefield, and at the top, Tatanga and Wario X are waiting. Tatanga stays far above your reach, while Wario X shoots money at you. To defeat Tatanga, just grab a P-Balloon at the edge of the arena, and fly high enough to damage the glass on Tatanga's UFO 3 times. Wario X then escapes once you defeat Tatanga.
=== Mouser ===
After it's revealed that there's more Sewer Rats, Mario heads to the Macro Zone to stop them for one of the Toad Soldiers's missions. At the end of the level, Mouser shows up, and can be beaten by throwing 5 Massive Bombs at him.
=== Big Bird, Pako, Three Little Pigheads, and Witch ===
After beating the Macro Zone mission, the Second Encounter Event starts, and you have to fight against the Big Bird in the Tree Zone, Pako in the Turtle Zone, the Three Little Pigheads in the Mario Zone, and the Witch in the Pumpkin Zone. Along the way, you'll fight enemies usually found in the Zones, and the bosses are basically the same as in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, but in 3D.
===Peewee Piranha===
After beating the Second Encounter, a Toad gives you a mission to get rid of the vermin plants at Sky Station Galaxy, which has been formed into the Piranha Plant Outpost. At the Command Center, Peewee Piranha controls where the Piranha Plants grow, and she must be fought to save the Galaxy. Her moveset is the same as in Mario Galaxy 2, but now she has to have all of her flowers taken off after knocking her out.
===Dino Piranha===
Once Peewee Piranha gets beaten, Dino Piranha appears from the ceiling, and his fight is different. He shoots fireballs, and swings his tail around to knock you off your feet. To defeat him, you have to spin five different pieces of rubble into his head.
=== Bionic Piranha ===
After defeating Dino Piranha, you have to escape the Sky Station. When you get to the Launch Star that lets you escape, Bionic Piranha (a Piranha Plant turned into a giant cyborg) appears from the ground, and eats the Launch Star. You have to pursue him to get the Launch Star back, and use nearby Bubble Cannons to electrocute him. Do this 5 times, and he'll eventually collapse, spitting out the Launch Star.
=== The Moon Frog ===
A Toad Soldier wants you to look for a few missing Toad Soldiers on Honeylune Ridge, who he suspects have been captured by a unknown creature. You need to make your way to the Wedding Hall, which has been converted into a haunted mansion by a few local Boos, and ground pound the trapdoor. You will fall all the way into the center of the moon, where the Moon Frog, who has evolved into a giant, spiked mutant of a frog, is waiting. To defeat the Moon Frog, you need to wait for him to finish a charge attack, and jump on his head 10 times.

== DLC ==
=== The Odyssey Chronicles ===
This DLC is based around Super Mario Odyssey's world. It has an all-new campaign, new partners, and "new" bosses. You play as Mario (and Luigi, in multiplayer) trying to stop Bowser, who's returned to religiously convert the whole world of Mario Odyssey.
Mario (and Luigi) start out laying in the grass near Peach's Castle, finally able to stop fighting, until a letter falls from a tree. Mario reads it (and Luigi tries to read it too), and it ends up being from Cappy (because WWM is its own canon), asking Mario (AND LUIGI) to help fight a war against the returning Bowser. Mario (and Luigi, because yes) take the newly-appointed Captain Toad's ship to Bonneton.
They arrive at Bonneton, only to see that some of Bowser's minions (Goombas with top-hats, Micro Goombas, Koopas, etc) have invaded Bonneton, and they have to help the Bonneters. After clearing out Bowser's minions, Cappy introduces himself and his sister, Tiara (also Fedora Bonnet is there for some reason), and says that they have to set off to Tostarena (in the Sand Kingdom) to save everyone. The Bonneters, Mario, (and Luigi), and Captain Toad set sail for Tostarena.
Before they reach Tostarena, however, Bowser, in his airship, shoots multiple cannonballs at every ship, and they all conveniently land in Fossil Falls (at the Cascade Kingdom).
At Fossil Falls, the team needs to rebuild all of the ships, but there is no hope. They decide to look around for spare parts, but they instead find a giant airship guarded by hundreds of Burrbos, Chain Chomps, Big Chain Chomps, and Tyrannosaurus rexes. After defeating them and clearing a path for themselves, Mario (and Luigi), Cappy, and Captain Toad head inside the airship, fight Hammer Bros and Rocky Wrenches, and eventually make their way to the deck, where they meet Blue Bowser, who activates two laser cannons, which are powered by a generator that also surrounds Blue Bowser in a ray shield. After destroying the cannons and the generator, Blue Bowser decides to deal with you himself, and his boss fight is a more intense version of Bowser's first boss fight from Super Mario 64. After defeating him, everyone gets on the airship, but they run into another problem: The generator needs to be rebuilt for the ship to fly.
Mario (and Luigi) goes out looking for spare parts from the destroyed ships, and after defeating an unusually large Tyrannosaurus rex, the generator is fixed and the airship (which becomes the new hubworld for this DLC) starts flying. Blue Bowser watches as his airship flies away, shaking his fist in anger.
After a long flight, the airship lands on Tostarena, which is strangely colorless. Mario (AND LUIGI) and Cappy go outside and try to figure out what happened when they run into an army of mind-controlled Tostarenans.
