Mushroom Academy (place)

NOTE: This is the article for the building. For the game, see Mushroom Academy.
Mushroom Academy is a large school located in the Mushroom Kingdom and founded by Headmaster Tiro, whose main goal is to encourage others to forge their own path in life, regardless of gender, species, and personal background. It is also the main titular location of Mushroom Academy.
== Layout ==
Currently, the buildings holds four floors, including the basement and rooftop. Surrounding the school is the court field, with pavement forming a path and circle. In the center of the circle lies a golden statue of Mario holding a crown-wearing Mushroom. Closer to the entrance is a flagpole shaped similarly to those in the games, waving the flag of the Mushroom Kingdom.
At the back of the school is the Track Field. It features both a soccer field, a basketball field, and racing tracks around the soccer field. Audience seats can also be found around the soccer field. Right of the basketball field is the playground, mostly replacing the pavement with grass. 
=== First Floor ===
The first floor can be accessed through, of course, the main gates to the school. Right of the inner entrance is the prize counter, where various trophies, tokens, and medals for contests are contained. Left of that counter is the door to the principal's office. From there, the path will split into three hallways.
The right hallway is where most of the classes are held. This includes Math, Science, Big-Brain Trials, Crafting, Paint, Music, and Literature. The left hallway has more rooms for after-school programs. It includes rooms such as Battle Training Class, Platforming Class, History Class, Auditorium, Library, Gym, Pool, Janitor's Storage, and Boy and Girl Bathrooms. Both hallways also include lockers and curve themselves to connect. 
Front of the main hallway is the Cafeteria entrance, which has two entrances. After the back entrance are the stairs to the second floor and basements.
=== Second Floor ===
Despite being the second floor, it features less classrooms and mainly has dorm-like student quarters that are categorized in six different teams. While many students don't permanently live in those quarters, one can choose to rest in it anytime, but are required to clear their quarters at the end of a school year. Other features include more bathrooms, lockers, resting benches, and a small café called the Mushroom.
== Subjects ==
Mushroom Academy features a current total of 12 main subjects that all students are allowed to learn. The class order for every schedule is often randomized, and every time it is randomized, a notification will alarm all students with a ShroomPages account of the new schedule. 
*Platforming: The skills, timing, and acceleration required to jump across platforms.
*Combat: Using one's abilities to battle against opponents.
*Mathematics: Numbers, different operations, algebra, geometry, and data.
*World History: The past and history of the world. 
*Kingdom History: The Mushroom Kingdom's past history.
*Trivia: Several minor topics (language, puzzle-solving, etc.) for Big-Brain Trials.
*Crafting: Methods of mixing materials into one source of matter or item.
*Paint: Using various creative utensils to create pieces of art.
== Teams ==
Although the teams were originally seen as an unnecessary idea by Principal Tiro and only added later on down the line, they mainly act as dorm organization, as well as an optional motive for student activity. Each team has a scoreboard, which is increased by every achievement done by their respective team, whether indivdidually or as a group. At the end of every school year, the total of each scoreboard is counted and the team with the most points gets an award, often a trophy of some sort. 
There are currently six teams, each which their own emblem, motto, and particular traits. A student is sorted into either one of these teams through a personality quiz.
== Trivia ==
* The team score count was inspired by Hogwarts from the popular book series Harry Potter.
