Mini Mushroom

Mini Mushrooms are a type of Mushroom in the Mario series. They first appeared in Mario Party 4 as a pink mushroom with a pacifier before getting a design overhaul in the New Super Mario Bros. series and being changed into a small, blue Mushroom. Its polar opposite is the Mega Mushroom.
Mini Mushrooms turn Mario into Mini Mario, which is the polar opposite of Mega Mario. Unlike Mario, Mini Mario can jump extra high, spin more than three times in mid air, run on water and travel down Mini Pipes. However, getting hit once as Mini Mario will cause you to die, similar to getting hit as Small Mario.
==Canon Appearances==
===Mario Party 4===
The Mini Mushroom first debuted in Mario Party 4 and appeared as a pink mushroom with a pacifier. It allows the player to enter gates and play Mini Mini-Games, however the Dice Block is reduced from 1-10 to 1-6 whilst under the effects of the Mini Mushroom. It costs 5 coins.
===Mario Pinball Land===
Mini Mushrooms reappear in in Mario Pinball Land. They have mostly the same role where they can allow the player to enter small passages and collect extra Power Stars.
===Super Mario Bros. series===
The Mini Mushroom received a design overhaul in the New Super Mario Bros. series, being changed from a pink Mushroom with a pacifier, to an ordinary blue mushroom. It retains the same abilities as in previous installments, allowing the player to become small and go into Mini Pipes as well as being able to jump higher.
===Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games===
The Mini Mushroom appears in the DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games during the Adventure Tours story. Once again, the Mini Mushroom makes Mario become small so he can cross thin ice without it breaking.
===Mario Sports Mix===
In Mario Sports Mix, the Mini Mushroom shrinks opponents, causing them to not be able to hold onto a basketball, dodgeball or hockey puck. Whilst small, they also can't do spikes in Volleyball as well as not being able to perform defensive moves in dodgeball.
===Mario Kart Arcade GP DX===
Mini Mushrooms appear as an item that can be shot forward like a green shell and shrink an opponent, causing them to move slower.

===Koopa Kart series===
====Koopa Kart Tour====
The Mini Mushroom is a new item in Koopa Kart Tour, where it can be obtained from 3rd to 7th place. When used, it shrinks the driver, allowing them to jump higher, drive faster and drive on water. The player, however, is vulnerable to getting squashed by other racers, and any Lightning-related attack will revert the player to normal, similar to using a Mega Mushroom. This is Fly Guy and Paragoomba's Special Item.
====Koopa Kart Live====
The Mini Mushroom returns in Koopa Kart Live with the same function as before, and is still obtainable from 3rd to 7th place. In this game, however, it is a regular item that everyone can use.
==Trivia==
*The Mini Mushroom from New Super Mario Bros. serves as a basis for one of Toadette's alternate color palettes in upcoming sports games, including Mario Super Sluggers HD.
