(Turns out that somebody under Mushroom takes halved damage, which applies in the original, not just the remaster. The remaster's coding shows that Mushroom effectively forces a Defend command for duration.)

'''Mushroom''' is a mostly negative status effect featured in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. It makes its only appearance so far during the events of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', where it is one of two status effects that changes the form of its victim, the other being [[Scarecrow (status effect)|Scarecrow]]. If [[Mario]] or one of his allies gets affected by this status effect, they transform into a pudgy Mushroom of a specific color (depending on who gets transformed). While being in Mushroom form, a character recovers a small amount of [[Heart Point|HP]] every turn, but otherwise is completely petrified until the effect wears off or the character's status is restored. Mario and his friends can get affected by this status effect when they are hit by an attack like [[Petal Blast]]. It can be completely evaded if a character wears a status effect negating item like a [[Trueform Pin]] or a [[Safety Badge (Super Mario RPG)|Safety Badge]].

Mushroom is a mostly negative status effect featured in the Super Mario franchise. It makes its only appearance so far during the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, where it is one of two status effects that changes the form of its victim, the other being Scarecrow. If Mario or one of his allies gets affected by this status effect, they transform into a pudgy Mushroom of a specific color (depending on who gets transformed). While being in Mushroom form, a character recovers a small amount of HP every turn, but otherwise is forced into a Defend command, effectively completely petrified from doing anything but receiving halved damage until the effect wears off or the character's status is restored. Mario and his friends can get affected by this status effect when they are hit by an attack like Petal Blast. It can be completely evaded if a character wears a status effect negating item like a Trueform Pin or a Safety Badge.

Trivia

  • Mallow is the only character to have an unmatching color for their Mushroom form, most likely because if the Mushroom were white, the spots would be hardly seen.
