Poison Mushrooms return in the ''Mario'' platformer games, after 25 years of absence (excluding spin-offs), by appearing in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game, ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. In this game, they somewhat behave like enemies as they follow Mario or Luigi around until he is in an area that the Poison Mushroom is unable to get him, or falls into a bottomless pit. The player is also able to destroy them by launching a [[fireball]] or [[boomerang]] at them, or transforming into a [[Statue Mario|statue]] to make them vanish on contact. Their appearance is that of a purple mushroom with pink spots that emit a purple dust (possibly spores) when released and grabbed. They appear only in the Special Worlds, and their effects are the same as in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', where Mario or Luigi can lose a life if they grab one in their small form.

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Poison Mushrooms had another side effect. Not only does the fighter become smaller and lighter, but their attack power drops greatly as well. An attack with strong knockback would pack less power than normal when the fighter is tiny. They appear in the Subspace Emissary in some stages.
