Dash Mushroom: Difference between revisions

The '''Dash Mushroom''', commonly called simply the '''Mushroom''', is a type of [[mushroom]] physically identical to a [[Super Mushroom]] that is used for speed boosts.

In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', Mushrooms have the same role as before. They can be gained from an [[Item Box]] from 2nd to 7th place, though players are most likely to get it while in 4th place. Unlike other games barring the first, where Triple Mushrooms (or a pair of Mushrooms in the previous game) are given by default for time trial mode, this game gives a varying amount of Mushrooms based in the kart's "Item" statistic. Additionally, the [[Goomba]]s in [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart DS)|Mario Circuit]] turn into Mushrooms when lightning strikes.

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Mushrooms can be gained from 2nd to 8th place. From this game onwards, it can be used to avoid the [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], though as they cannot be obtained in first place, the player would need to have one in reserve. Goombas again drop them, but only when hit by weaker items than Lightning.

In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Mushrooms are called Dash Mushrooms for the first time, albeit only in British English materials.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-3DS/Mario-Kart-7-274402.html Mario Kart 7]. ''nintendo.co.uk''. Retrieved July 25, 2015.</ref><ref>[http://gamesites.nintendo.com.au/mario-kart-7/en_AU/item/index.php Mario Kart 7]. ''nintendo.com.au''. Retrieved July 25, 2015.</ref> When a player is [[Glider|gliding]], using a Mushroom will provide a pushing force that propels the vehicle higher, allowing them to glide longer. The Mushroom can be gained from 1st to 5th place in this game.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the Mushroom (again called Dash Mushroom exclusively in British English materials) is slightly more powerful than it is in other games. It also receives a new visual effect; the boost will create a line of flames between the road and the wheels, and it causes the engine to rev louder and higher. When obtained as a set of three, they now revolve around the vehicle, in the same way as the [[Triple Shells]], and other racers that drive into them will feel their effect immediately without causing one to disappear. Mushrooms also have a sponsor named after them, [[Mushroom Piston]].

In addition to single Mushrooms, Triple Mushrooms are also included in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as the [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special item]] of [[Toad]], [[Toadette]], [[Mario|Mario (Classic)]], [[Princess Peach|Peach (Wedding)]], Mario (SNES), [[Luigi|Luigi (Lederhosen)]], [[Yoshi (species)|White Yoshi]], and Mario (Racing). Unlike most other games, the mushrooms are used up all at once, providing a similar speed boost for a longer period of time than a normal Mushroom. Additionally, single mushrooms are now automatically trailed behind the player's vehicle, meaning other racers that drive into it will feel its effect, similar to the Triple Mushrooms in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.

The following gliders in ''Mario Kart Tour'' increase the chance of getting Mushrooms and points for using one.

Dash Mushrooms appear in the [[Nintendo DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''. They appear in the [[Dream Race (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Nintendo DS)|Dream Race]] event, where they give the player a short speed boost when used. In the [[Wii]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|version]], Dash Mushrooms appear as items in [[Dream Platform]], where they give the character a five second speed boost when used.
