The '''Weird Mushroom''' is a power-up in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. It is a skinnier, more realistically shaped [[Super Mushroom]]. Upon use, [[Mario]] turns into [[Weird Mario]], becoming taller and slimmer and gaining the abilities of [[Luigi]], with higher jumps but lower traction.

It looks similar to a normal [[Super Mushroom]], but with a short cap and a very thin base. A Super Mushroom cannot override the effect of this mushroom, but the Weird Mushroom can override a Super Mushroom's effect. However, a [[Fire Flower]], [[Mystery Mushroom]], or [[Big Mushroom]] can override the Weird Mushroom's effects, while [[Fire Mario]], [[Costume Mario]], and [[Big Mario]] are unaffected by Weird Mushrooms.

The Weird Mushroom has a 1% chance of spawning wherever a Super Mushroom is placed, except during upload check, where it was changed to never randomly spawn after an update. However, it can also be unlocked by clearing all four of the [[Nintendo World Championships]] courses. Upon unlocking the Weird Mushroom, the player can use it by shaking a Super Mushroom in the editor. In ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'', however, the player starts the game with the Weird Mushroom in their item selection.

The Weird Mushroom is exclusive to the ''Super Mario Bros.'' game style, so if the player changes the game style, every Weird Mushroom object turns back into a Super Mushroom. In ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'', however, the Weird Mushroom is replaced by the [[Super Leaf]] in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' style, the [[Cape Feather]] in the ''Super Mario World'' style, and the [[Propeller Mushroom]] in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style.

The Weird Mushroom and its form would have returned in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', but they were scrapped from the final game for unknown reasons.<ref>Smashy (March 30, 2022).
