Poison Mushrooms made their debut in '' | Poison Mushrooms made their debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' and has become a recurring item in later ''Mario'' games. They are mushrooms that deceptively resemble the [[Super Mushroom]], but with a duller color scheme and angry eyes. In later ''Mario'' games, the Poison Mushroom's cap design features a skull-faced pattern and/or a purple color scheme. | ||
Poison Mushrooms are known for being a harmful variety of Mushrooms where touching one will cause the player to take damage or lose a life. | Poison Mushrooms are known for being a harmful variety of Mushrooms where touching one will cause the player to take damage or lose a life. If a player in their [[Fire Flower]] power-up forms comes into contact with one, then they will revert back to their original small forms. If a player in their small forms comes into contact with one, then they will lose a life. In later ''Mario'' games, they can follow the player around like an enemy. | ||

The transformation lasts about ten seconds. Touching another Poison Mushroom will reset the timer. Touching a Poison Mushroom while under the effect of a [[Super Mushroom]] and vice versa will restore a character to their normal size, whereas the effects of [[Lightning]] are canceled. | The transformation lasts about ten seconds.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the fighters strike a pose while growing/shrinking, briefly lamenting their reduced size and relishing their return to normal size. Most of the items held by the player, as well as their own projectiles, will be proportionate to their lower size. Certain attacks or charge ups can be interrupted if a Poison Mushroom touches the player in the course of doing an action. | ||
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the fighters no longer strike a pose when they're growing or shrinking, making their animation similar of that to ''Melee''. This also prevents certain attacks and animations from being interrupted when a player touches one. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Tiny battles appear as a feature in ''Melee's'' [[Special Smash]] and in later games onward, where all fighters become tiny under the permanent effects of a Poison Mushroom. In ''Brawl's'' Tiny [[Special Brawl]], direct attacks deal around 0.48x their normal damage, and pitch can now be altered further. In ''Smash 4's'' Tiny Special Smash, fighters still deal 0.48x their normal damage with their direct attacks | Tiny battles appear as a feature in ''Melee's'' [[Special Smash]] and in later games onward, where all fighters become tiny under the permanent effects of a Poison Mushroom.

If players acquire a Poison Mushroom in that game mode, their direct attacks will deal 0.34x their normal damage.

*Although being mini reduces one's ability to recover, certain up specials which are affected by a fighter's gravity stat will actually go higher as a result of the reduced gravity applied by the mushroom. | *Although being mini reduces one's ability to recover, certain up specials which are affected by a fighter's gravity stat will actually go higher as a result of the reduced gravity applied by the mushroom. | ||
*In ''Brawl'', if {{SSBB|Pikachu}} uses [[Quick Attack]] on a falling Poison Mushroom or Super Mushroom, it will perform the [[size change super jump]]. | |||
*The ''Melee'' trophy of the Poison Mushroom states that the Poison Mushroom made its debut in ''Super Mario All-Stars'', but its first appearance actually was in the Japanese version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''; this could be because ''Super Mario-All-Stars'' was technically the first game in the west to include the Poison Mushroom. This was later corrected in ''Brawl'', using the western title of ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''. Conversely, ''Smash Wii U'' also lists ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', however, like in ''Melee'', it tracks its western appearance on "08/93", the release date for ''Super Mario All-Stars'', rather than the original Japanese release date. | |||
*While other items are usually designed to visually stay true to their home series in subsequent ''Smash'' titles, the Poison Mushroom is the only item from another series's [[universe]] that is deliberately given an original design for the ''Smash'' series. Here, it is visually similar to the [[Super Mushroom]] instead of the purple hue it is known for in recent ''Mario'' games. This is done as an attempt to confuse fighters, similarly to its original appearance in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' in which it was a different color but does not look overtly threatening, disguising its deadly nature. | *While other items are usually designed to visually stay true to their home series in subsequent ''Smash'' titles, the Poison Mushroom is the only item from another series's [[universe]] that is deliberately given an original design for the ''Smash'' series.
