==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:SMB2World1-1.png|thumb|right|200px|Mario finding a Magical Potion]]
In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', when picked up and thrown to the ground, a Magical Potion allows Mario and friends to enter [[Subspace]] through a temporary door, where they can find [[coin]]s (under untouched [[Grass|grass tuft]]s) and [[Mushroom]]s. Also, within Subspace, certain [[jar]]s will act like a [[Warp Zone]], allowing Mario to warp to a later [[World]]. Magical Potions cannot create doors within a jar, over another door, or on unstable surfaces like [[quicksand]]. In ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', after finishing the game, one can find [[Yoshi Egg]]s during the Yoshi Challenge.

====''BS Super Mario USA''====
In the sequel, ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]'', the Magical Potions are necessary to find [[Wart]] in one of Subspace's jars as he is always hidden in these dimensions.{{br|left}}

===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', [[Bowser|King Koopa]] sometimes pulls out a Magical Potion at the end of an episode, usually when he is outmatched by Mario's group, in episodes such as "[[Bad Rap]]" and "[[Mario Meets Koop-zilla]]" and throws it, creating a [[Warp Zone]] for him to escape. The episode "[[Princess, I Shrunk the Mario Brothers]]" introduces two types of potions called the [[Magic Shrink Potion]] and [[Magic Growing Potion]].
====List of episodes featuring Magical Potions====
*[[King Mario of Cramalot]]
*[[The Adventures of Sherlock Mario]]
*[[On Her Majesty's Sewer Service]]
*[[Hooded Robin and His Mario Men]]
*[[Mario Meets Koop-zilla]]
*[[The Unzappables]]
*[[Bad Rap]]
*[[Karate Koopa]]
*[[Raiders of the Lost Mushroom]]

===''Super Mario-Kun''===
[[File:Magic Potion SuperMarioKun.jpg|thumb|left]]
The Magical Potion has made a brief appearance in ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' in volume 8. Here, Luigi attempts to give it to Mario to aid him in defeating [[Tryclyde]].

Toad has also used the Magical Potion in a fight with Wart. He enters the door the potion creates and then gives powerups to aid Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi during the fight, including [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]], [[P-Wing]]s, and [[Frog Suit]]s.

===Nintendo Adventure Books===
In ''[[Doors to Doom]]'', when Mario and Luigi escape a stampede of [[Ninji]]s by jumping off a cliff while using a parasol to safely float down, they decide to escape by revealing a bottle of Magic Potion from a tuft of grass. However, this particular bottle of potion creates a door which has a lock displaying a shoelace puzzle on it. Mario and Luigi must solve the puzzle and push the correct button in order to escape the area; pushing the incorrect button makes the door lead them to an encounter where they get shot point-blank by a [[Shy Guy]] riding an [[Autobomb]], leading to a [[Game Over]].
