Life Shroom

Life Shrooms are items found throughout the Paper Mario series. Whenever Mario (or his partner in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door) passes out during a battle, the Life Shroom will revive the character and return 10 HP to them, temporarily replacing 1-Up Mushrooms. If both Mario and his partner lose all of their HP simultaneously, they both recover with ten HP, but only one Life Shroom will be used.
== Description ==
After Mario or his partner passes out in battle, the Life Shroom will revive the character and return 10 HP to them, temporarily replacing 1-Up Mushrooms. If both Mario and his partner lose all of their HP at the same time, they will both be recovered with ten HP, but only one Life Shroom will be used.
== In Paper Mario series ==
=== Paper Mario ===
In Paper Mario, a Life Shroom is first seen in Princess Peach's Castle after the second Star Spirit is rescued by Mario. It can be found in the library at the top behind the railing, but it appears as though Peach cannot reach the Life Shroom because it is too high. The Life Shroom is later obtained by Mario as he makes it to the castle.
A Life Shroom can also be found in an Invisible Block in Dry Dry Desert. They later appear in Igor's shop at Boo's Mansion, after Lady Bow joins Mario's party. They are then found in both ? Blocks and at the shop in Star Haven, where they can be purchased for 25 coins apiece. The second item Mario can buy from Rip Cheato is a Life Shroom.
=== Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door ===
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Life Shrooms reappear and are still very powerful. Mario can first find these at Westside Goods in Rogueport, where it is sold for fifty coins just like in the previous game. Of course, Mario can also find these at other shops as well. By collecting 150 Shop Points, Mario can obtain this item. Another way is if Mario ranks third in the Lottery, he can obtain this item.
=== Super Paper Mario ===
In Super Paper Mario, Life Shrooms are very similar but not quite the same. Unlike the 10 HP they gave in the last, these mushrooms only give 5 HP when used. Like the previous games, Life Shrooms can be eaten before Mario dies. In doing so will result in gaining 5 HP. This item is still helpful, but later on in the game, since Mario will be very strong offensively and defensively, this item's purpose drops substantially. Life Shrooms are still prominent in the Pit of 100 Trials, both Flipside and Flopside.
==Trivia==
*The Official Nintendo Player's Guide for Paper Mario states on page 124 that a Life Shroom can be made by cooking a Mushroom with a Goomnut, Koopa Leaf, or Strange Leaf, which is only true for the Japanese version of the game.
